Jordan Rodgers - Bachelorette 12 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* #2

^^^^Yes Ash it is laughable. The key phrase..."does RS really know what Jordan feels?" NO! He does not. I am waiting for better "proof" also. Jmo, but RS is such a jealous joke it is funny to me.

I'll pass on something said to me by a very wise individual.

I understand his logic. If what he has 'heard' is true, which I believe to be true based on my own opinion of him, then if Jordan went in with the mindset to get far enough to be TB and then leave in that coveted 3rd spot, the second JoJo started questioning his intentions, it took the storyline of him leaving on his on off the table. If he left it would confirm that JoJos suspicions were dead on. Not to mention all of the that Chad drama from the previews would come back to bite him. The bad publicity that Brooks got would be nothing compared to what Jordan would face IMO. He already has a reputation and it's not a very good one. He and his PR people had to know that. The saying goes bad publicity is better than no publicity, however good publicity is still better than bad publicity. The only way he could get TB gig would be for JoJo to send him home, which wasn't going to happen since she had already made her eyes set on Mrs. Rodgers IMO, or for them to go thru with an engagement and then it eventually fail, right in time for The Bachelor 2018 to come around.

F1: If you like the girl, you got the girl.
You get free publicity.
The exhaustive travel is over for the most part outside of the initial PR rounds.
If you aren't in love and this was a matter of convenience, you are only involved for a few more months--until fall and then can move on. You still have all the name recognition. This is a more short term situation as far as being tied down to the franchise.
The next TB:
You get to continue dating a bevy of Meat.
You get to continue being in the circus.
You get to travel for 2 seasons.
Name recognition for 2 seasons. So your name is out there twice as long.
If it were me and all I wanted was name recognition for whatever reasons, I would opt for being F1.

Good points, Kasha.

Maye he also saw the writing on the wall, that he was too far the front runner and no way could he extricate himself and still come out squeaky clean to win The Bachelor gig. So, he took next best option and easy way out, F1.

Also another con for taking the next lead, it's a gamble. With few exceptions, most people return the second time around and get terrible edits, over saturation with the fans or whatever, but lots of times people, though they may have loved you "competing" end up hating you as the "lead." This happens more often for The Bachelors than the Bachelorettes too, IMO. Though that would also take incredible insight for how this show usually works. And for Jordan, who I doubt is a fan or watches it outside of maybe Ben's season while he was in the casting process, may not realize this.

What Chase drama? I see drama with Chad. JMO

For someone that hates this show I just don't get why he spends so much time talking about it. RS prides himself being the first one out of the gate with information and I do believe he makes stuff up just to feel important. Sadly, there are people that take his word as gospel and believes everything he writes.

He is a bitter and jealous middle age man that craves attention.

Sorry I meant to type Chad. Had Chase on the mind for some reason. I edited it.

It's how Reality Steve earns a living. He says his income is six figures a year from advertisers who post on his blog. Fans/viewers like to give insider information to someone. RS is the "go to guy"

As the season progresses Jordan's going to get the most press in the tabloids. It may not be the "type" of press Jordan hoped for when he signed on to be a contestant JMO

^^^I am secretly hoping he really did fall for the girl. :cutesmile!: Just the romantic in me. I am willing to wait and continue to sleuth out clues. Hoping for the best for these two because "you just never know." Hehe

Just noting that Jordan and JoJo both just came back on IG and have liked pictures two minutes apart from each other.

I guess what I hate the most about how people can anonymously go out onto the internet and write whatever they want to about another person, whether it is true or not, is that that "rumor" is going to be out there forever.  And basically it can never be refuted, because there will always be those who will believe it to be 100% true.  RS isn't posting these rumors anonymously, but his information comes from unnamed sources.

With the technology that exists today, pictures can be doctored or digitally altered as well.  SM has drastically changed how we see things now IMO. I feel like it has changed how we as a society view what is written, in that it is easier to believe the bad written about another person than it is to believe the good.

I actually feel sorry for Jordan right now, whether he is the F1 or not.  Yes, he signed up for this gig, so he is considered fair game here.  But, I will keep an open mind, drown out all the noise and wait to see him in action before I will automatically accept what RS is saying about him as the gospel truth. I think that everyone deserves a chance to prove RS wrong, even Jordan.
