THE BACHELORETTE - SEASON 12 - JOJO FLETCHER - **NO SPOILERS** - Episode Discussion - *SLEUTHING* DISCUSSION #2

Either way, he's a performer and seems to like the limelight. No harm, no foul in that. It just rounds out the perspective on him, and for me, explains his ease this season.

Actually, a colleague and I were discussing the show today, and she asked, "I wonder how people go on those shows," meaning what's the mental, psychological, or even spiritual make-up of someone who decides to sign on the line for this type of gig. I'd say that most are extroverts and/or performers who don't mind attention.

I also wonder if the composite of traits for a contestant has changed since the show started to now. Once it started to launch people into new careers or opportunities, I imagine that those truly looking for love became fewer. In some ways, it can be a smart move, I think; even if the chance at finding love is infinitesimally small, the chances of finding lifelong friends and having an adventure are great.

I got permission drom GA to post. Thanks GA!

This is from http://www.the-net-worth.com. They give some background on each one and how they made their money

JoJo - 400,000

Jordan- 1.5 million
Luke - 300,000
Robby - 400,000
Chase - 500,000

Some surprises here

Derek - 2.3 million
Wells - 400,000
Chad - 800,000
Evan - 1.7 million

I couldnt find anything on Alex or JT

Thank you, moonchild. Not surprised, really.

Chase as a medical sales rep is likely making six figures. Not sure what Robby's actual profession is. Luke should be worth way more for sacrificing himself to the U.S military (I salute!!) I'm maybe a little surprised Chad's isn't more being in the luxury real estate business.

Ha! I knew it was a mistake to let Derek go! Seriously, even if I didn't know his net worth, it puzzled me that she let him go before Alex and JT. But to each her own.

Evan's net worth makes sense because he owns a chain of clinics. Overall, they are a group of prosperous young men.

Thanks, Moonchild.

Protein powder is expensive, agent!

 This is true, mc!   I love it

I'm not sure what they're using to calculate those figures, seems iffy to me... but fun .

It is fun. A lot of the information is either public information or in the public realm: Real estate transactions (home, vacation, business,) auto/boat registrations, business acquisitions and deals, sponsorships, etc.

Apologies if this has been asked and answered - I've been out of the loop as the horrible winter flu has hit my household with vengeance - but will there be an episode aired on the evening of your July 4th?

I don't want to go looking in case I spot a spoiler.

Btw - I've had great fun catching up with some posts when I've had time between looking after the family members with normal flu and those with man flu.

My opinion is that JoJo walking down the beach and possibly choosing no one is a big fake out by TPTB to cause drama and doubt. And it's going to actually be a pretty standard ending with her choosing Jordan.

Looking forward to catching up with everyone soon.

I tend to agree with you on the ending.

There wont be a new episode July 4th. I think I saw that they will be replaying this weeks episode.

I hope you are feeling better!

Studying the FRC caps that we have, I don't think any of them are Chase, which would put him at F3. That leaves Robby and Jordan...again, based on caps. I'd like to see JoJo's time with Robby before ruling him out out or in.

That said, based on what we've seen to date, Jordan seems like a shoe in. I probably shouldn't feel sad or bad about that because it likely is TPTB's editing, but right now it makes me feel meh. I hope I like him at the end of all this...because I'd like JoJo to get her HEA. I'm not sure at this point it will happen.
