Jordan Rodgers - Bachelorette 12 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* #5

Sean made a comment similar to this in a podcast interview. He sounded like he had actually heard that from someone reliable FWIW.

Enough with the Bach people going on DWTS. I don't think it's good for the new relationship and usually the F1 ends up ignored and disgruntled. Jmho.

Ah ok! Never mind to what I said then

I don't totally buy the producers not pushing the Bach/Ette into DWTS for the sake of the relationship. 1. Since when have they cared about the relationship, really? 2. It's good cross promotion and PR for the show, which equals ratings. And that's all they really care about. 3. Jake/Vienna and Chris/Whitney were DOA with or without Dancing, and Sean/Cat DID Dancing, and are to date 1/5th of this shows measly success rate, so DWTS didn't hurt them much. And these are the only three dudes to have done the show. 4. Chris was only on DWTS like 13 months ago. Not long. So it must have been an incredibly recent decision.

Personally I HOPE JoJo gets the dancing gig! I'm sick and tired of it only going to the doofus men of this franchise. I honestly don't see her getting a lasting forever partner out of this, so basically with or without DWTS, I'll be shocked if this ends up a forever thing for her, and I'm personally a little annoyed that her lame-o F1 beat her to the punch with his big broadcasting career. I feel like if nothing else, JoJo should get the opportunity to kick start her Hollywood/hosting career next to Val or Maskim or Tony or whoever. I'd enjoy that for her.

THe Dbag will drop her in no time. He's got the gig he was hoping for to come out of this so good luck to them adding another complexity to their relationship with DWTS.  Between Jo and Jo, I don't see either of them making a big move for the relationship. Probably making a move to pursue opportunities.
*IMO*

ITA! Work on your relationship first before you work on your dance moves.

He got a gig with SEC. Apparently there's several locations he could move 2 for that job, is that what I gather folks?

This is a great opportunity for him!  
Lennox, what are the possible locations?

I don't know. That's why I'm asking

Oh . I thought you were just confirming. Haha. I'll go see if I can find anything.

ETA: Jordan and SEC have yet to comment but SEC Network headquarters is in Charlotte, NC.

I think they might wait until after the finale to release the location he'll be based out of.
