I felt she was upset because jordan did not pay much attention during the sex show. Maybe she told him that she made many moves and he did none in return? The way she said that she is an open book (something similar) and him difficult to read. I translate that to: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE show me you are falling in love, show me your affection, show me you want me as much as I am desperate to want you.

Joke aside. Lot of edits with this conversation but the result is there. I felt she made him some reproach that he was not paying enough attention to her.

I'm the Bachelorette don't you know. Pay attention to me!!! Look at those other guys fighting for my attention. WTH is wrong with you? This isn't the plan!

Despite his protestations that it takes him a while to open up, I am not getting the impression that Jordan is all that into JoJo. Certainly not to the degree that she is into him. She is just a hot girl who happens to be the only girl around. He shows more emotion hanging with the guys and when she tells him for the umpteenth time to open up, he just goes with the flow and tells her what she wants to hear. Seriously, I have never seen a lead push a guy so much, so early. Usually that comes towards the end. If I didn't know better, I would say she was desperate.

Or over-acting.

she is desperate about him IMO.

On last episode, in one ITM she almost said: I am happy to leave the drama behind and let what this is supposed to be, concentrate on ME (she hesitated 2 sec and then said: relationship.

Sadly she is one among the many. I found in his IG some pic and my deduction is that the chick in black was his date (bottom left has the same top as himself alone with the bottles) . She is very pretty IMO. So the guy can get anyone he wants... a player remains a player. Once the deal is done, move on to the next conquest. (may I say it is an incredible amount of alcohol??)

Jojo just do not understand the main rule with this kind of guy: you have to play hard to get to keep his attention. you have to ignore him and play the same rules.

For me, I hate that. I like honest, simple, friend but flirty, turning to love... both at the same time. Not games of hard to get.

This guy wants to party and is millions years of being ready to settle down with only one girl.

all JMO

I know my opinion differs from many others, but what some see as him holding back and not wanting to race to the front of the pack, I see as disinterest. If it happened once or twice I may be able to see it the other way, but in ALL the group settings he hangs back and is normally at the back of the pack. He acts like he thinks, well I'll get there sooner or later and 99% of the time if somebody is interested in the lead they'll want to get to them as soon as they can to get a hug or just to say hi. I can remember her rushing to the front on Ben's season. Also, most of their kisses is her taking the lead and leaning in first and he couldn't have looked more bored when he got the group date rose if he'd tried to..

I think he felt like there was a chance of him going home on the last show because she had already warned him about him not opening up and that was the only reason he gave her his little spill about his feelings, but wasn't it just so strange they had them move into the shadows before him doing that? For all the others they wanted her front and center for the make out sessions, even if it was on a pool table.

I know MF tries to get the lead to get the F3 guys to say the magic words of I love you, but I think this is the first season I've seen the lead put heat on any of them to say it during week 3 before they've ever gone on a 1 on 1 date.

Hopefully for the fans, Jo and Jo will marry, have 6 kids and live happily ever after. I'm not holding my breath just yet. : ) IMHO.....

Well, I do know better so I will definitely agree with you. She is certainly giving it her all and putting her tongue into it.

Anyone know which preview this person got this from?

Meh I don't think she was overacting or too desperate, just normal Bachelorette desperate with her f1.

I like Jojo and I think she doing a good job so far as the Bette, very attentive and gives everyone a fair chance tho she clearly is coming off desperate for Jordan's attention.

I wish she wouldn't kiss just about everyone...... The only kisses that felt not forced were with Chase, Luke and Jordan..

I 'ed about the scene and kiss on the pool table with Rooby....and her saying that is a man... it was soo cheesy

Giving everyone a fair chance involves kissing them IMO.

This is what Jojo said about being in a relationship in an interview:

"What are the best and worst parts of being in a relationship with you?
The best part is that when I love, I love with everything I have—I give 100 percent and am very loyal. The worst part is that I expect the same in return. I want the affection, the talking, the affirmation, and some guys find that needy."

This might explain why she comes off as desperate with Jordan, she likes him and she is all in with him. I can't blame her for this, sometimes we can't help who we like.

I think she was desperate for his attention. In that sex talk date she kept touching him and he didn't look one bit at her. He was more focused on the stage.

Her legs are all over him everytime she's with him - very much like what she did during Ben's season (perhaps that's her M.O.) and I've seen her tongue twice already when she kisses him. I agree with what Some observes...Jordan hangs back not because it takes him a while to open up but it's really lack of interest.  I don't think he's suffered a heart break where he's been cheated on for him to have walls up.  A guy who's interested will have a thousand ways to let you know he's into you while a guy who's not into you will have a thousand excuses.

Well ben didn't "hang back" with Jo imo. ;) He was very interested. I need more time to see how Jo reacts to Jo. I like JoJo and hope she found the one--even if for a little while.
