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

And this is why you shouldnt dpeak about people who are not signed to a reality show. When a contestant does it people argue its part of their story but as soon as the person being talked about airs their own truth/story its classless. Aaron will be deemed childish if he says anything but its okay that Jordan spews a family issue whick paints Aaron in not so good picture. Same rhing as Robbie talking about his ex but she is classless if she throws her own punch back and lets not forget Jordan's ex who is wrong for posting shedding light on Jordan's version of the truth. If we are going to vilify anyone its the people who divulge things to make themselves look good just so we believe "they are there for the right reasons" while making others look bad on a reality tv. MHO

A good point and IA

The understanding to be found here, IMO, is in knowing the definition of "self-evident", which is defined by Merriam-Webster as "clearly true and requiring no proof or explanation". IMO, this is a very mature (and accurate) response by Aaron.

Nothing has changed my thinking that Jordan is a user. He treated his ex badly by his own admission, but still used her as his story for this show. He's not in contact with his brother, by his own admission, didn't even bother telling him he's doing this show, but has no problem using him and his name on the show, throwing him utb.

But his ex and brother just have to take it, not say anything, their side of the story, or they get called petty and bitter, even childish.

Very immature, selfish and self centred way of dealing with people and things by Jordan, IMO.

Ha. I personally thought that was hilarious. I like Russell Wilson too. But come on. When the athletes are all "God is on our side!! God loves the Seahawks!!" like Russell Wilson loves to do, well, obnoxious. I thought Aaron Rodgers was hilarious there. On point. And self aware.

An FYI: Aaron is scheduled to appears on Bill Simmons show "Any Given Wednesday" tomorrow night on HBO. Considering how big a bachelor fan Bill is, I'm guessing this was brought up.

Oh and Aaron comment about God being a Packer fan after the Russell Wilson thing was f'ing hilarious. The video with his smirk, even better.

im good with bow Jordan handled the subject of his brother. He explained it without giving details. If his brother wasnt famous it would have gone unnoticed, no big deal, a family member would be absent at a HTD...I'm sure it happens all the time on this show. Actually if it was just Jordan and Aaron not talking, I'd be more inclined to think Jordan was the one with issues, but seeing as it appears Aaron is at odds with his whole family....My gut tells me hes the problem. Life experiences have taught me that if there's a common denominator in family troubles, thats usually where the problem lies... Just sayin'...

Jordan's brother can say whatever he wants to about the situation, that's his prerogative, but he's not 'classier' for posting a quote that's obviously about his brother, just because he didn't come right out and say it. And someone who claims to be and likes to be known as private should know this only invites more speculation, the proof is in the replies to the tweet IMO. And some can say 'he threw the first stone' but technically his brother's GF put their business out there in her interview with ET, and the second by liking that picture right away on IG (a story which got picked up by all the major outlets). They've ALL got blame to share in this situation and his brother isn't a saint just because he's successful & plays QB for the packers. All IMO.

Literally this. This dude isn't a saint because he's dating a hot actress and throws around a ball successfully or whatever he does on the field (Tackles? Blocks? All of the above?), no idea. Since when is subtweeting considered the classy, restrained response? I see so many others getting taken to town over it but it's suddenly classy when it's a famous pro-player  It's like what Jo is accused of being- a jersey chaser in some way. Jmo!

Interesting. And it definitely would have been filmed before Monday's episode. It would be nice if he just says that he didn't really want to get into it. If not, he'll fall into the category of Olivia and Jordan. He's already subtweeting his younger brother though, so I'd be surprised if he kept his mouth shut entirely. IMO.

Those were nothing IMO, I don't even remember the JP thing you mentioned and I was literally obsessed with every detail that season.  I don't find those things comparable at all to Jordan's messy life.  JMO.
And even if they are compared the diff to me is I very much watched with my own 2 eyes JP and Shawn turn into little puddles of mush with googly eyes as they fell head over heel in love on the show.  I loved every minute of both love stories.  Jojo and Jordan, nah, not even close to the same for me. Purely from the show, I get nothing I like from Jordan as a romantic interest for Jojo, JMO.

Re Aaron, he literally has not said one word about Jordan on the Bachelorette, so don't know how he's been drawn into this discussion so much.  But since he's a topic I find him hilarious and very media savvy (he has to be) and am a big fan.  I don't in any way think I know the real him or think he's perfect.  I just really like the guy from what I've seen through filtered media.  His brother as seen through a filtered tv show, not so much.  JMO.
