Maybe they sensed that he just wasn't into their sister/daughter? They had been in reality tv land before and know that their Ben was required to keep some women longer than he probably wanted. Maybe, just maybe they sensed more of Jordan actually caring for JoJo? On paper Ben maybe a better man overall, but IRL a Ben who was already head over heels in love with Lauren was not a good fit for JoJo. JMO.

That was only the brothers  Mom and dad were more than supportive. It's to be seen how the brothers will act/feel towards the f2. Based on the expressions JoJo was making and the words coming out of her mouth when she was asked about how they reacted to her f2 this season, seems they were about the same as last season. Like has been said, sometimes all it is is a feeling you get with someone. Logistics, consequences, better options don't matter at the end of the day..if that feeling is there. Just because Jordan and Ben were/are different, doesn't mean she couldn't have wanted both relationships. Different people bring out different emotions within you. 


IMO.

Thanks for the insight Lennox.  I felt JoJo was sincere in her feelings for both guys.  She is definitely more into Jordan so maybe the family saw that and that made the whole thing a green light.  Obviously at the end of the day JoJo is an adult and this time the choices are hers so it allows for a very different outcome.  I wish her the best.
I don't see Jordan as a bad guy.  I just have a hard time believing he is ready to be engaged or even in a serious committed relationship.   JMO

SB imo we have not yet seen the family reactions to Jordan or even Robbie for that matter.

Yeah smarmy is the word for me too.  And to the bolded i would say well before that hello imo.

I just watch the show for my own fun and enjoyment and I most love a season when I love the final couple.  But often I don't and this is one of those for me.  As much as last Bach I preferred the story of Jojo and Ben, this season I prefer the stories of Jojo and Chase/Luke.  I'm sure she and Jordan will be fine in RL for however long it lasts and maybe they are a great fit, but I don't much care about that.  I just want to be entertained while I watch and Jordan ain't doin it for me in that regard.  Jmo.

Nd4, I am basing my comments on the recent posts in this thread. That is all.  Maybe my opinion will change after watching the HT's.

I was watching E News last night and they don't see a love connection this season either. At least that what I gather from the segment.

Actually I think he had her March 6th when he was announced as being cast for the show and she wasn't even announced yet as the 'ette.

IA with the rest of your post.

I totally believe Jordan was cast for JoJo and the whole season was predetermined. I never have felt anyone else had a chance of being F1.  If Jordan had chosen to leave I think JoJo would have been single. I can see that JoJo is obsessed with Jordan. I just don't buy what Jordan is selling. He just comes across as competitive guy who has an easy time with the ladies and knows how to use his charm to win.  The overly scripted and painfully obvious storylines have made this season a tedious snoozer to watch. I can't even root for anyone because it is all so UnReal.    JMO

I loved your post Seabear!

But the thing to me is that BBJ doesn't need to sell anything if he didn't want Jo. He can have any woman he wants really, and doesn't need Jo for anything, including his new job. Why stay and sell something if he didn't want to be f1 and be with this girl specifically? I see no upside to him in this if he's playing her. I guess like with everything, time will tell.

Can't stand either one of them... they deserve each other...
