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

Hi, northy

The clip features JoJo with Chase, James, and Robby in a hotel room sampling greasy food. Along with french fries, there're chicken nuggets, pizza, and burgers. JoJo starts off saying that usually she likes to sample the local cuisine, but who doesn't like greasy food?

James proceeds to accept a dare from JoJo in which he basically plays "Chubby Bunny" but with french fries. Chase narrates the scene, saying "JoJo dares James to shove as many French fries in his mouth as possible, and I'm thinking, 'Do it, man.' I think he wanted to do it, but it also made him look highly unattractive and it was hilarious." He's laughing as he narrates. Robby reminds James that they have pizza to eat. At one point, his mouth is so full that Jo asks Chase for a napkin ostensibly to allow James to spit them out. Really it's a rather silly yet uncomfortable scene, it seemed.

So, Chase, James, and Robby are on the 3:1 and part of it must take place indoors where they eat this food. Kind of a weird date.

Not allowed to see that either but thanks so much for trying

.

Hmm... if JT was dared to chump down on the eat all you can eat, maybe Robby was dared to run in his undies in the hallway hence the SC of him doing just that? Just my thoughts.

Hey, You could be onto something! It did say that Jojo dared JT. I bet you're right. Wonder what Chase was dared to do?

Thanks for th recap ... Definitely something you do with someone in the friend zone haha

Hi moderators. Can one of you post us CH's blog for Episode 6? I think only JoJo's was posted and it might be interesting to find out what his comments are on the episode. Thanks!

Here you go.

SM no discussion thread.

Thank you GA!

No probs!

I just wanted to highlight a couple of things on CH's blog linked above.

First off, we have CH saying that the 2on1 date was a "game-changer". Is it that Chase made several leaps to the front of the pack? CH gave basic descriptions about Wells's date and the GD, but he gave us nothing for the 2on1 date. According to him, "You saw what happened and I don’t need to rehash it all". I wonder why he and JoJo are being so vague in their descriptions of this date or any date with Chase, TBH.

Also he says that "but to say that JoJo was conflicted and to say it was a difficult day is a massive understatement" - this statement, I am not buying one bit! I think that by this stage her relationship with Chase was more advanced than hers with Derek. However, she just wanted to put some pressure on Chase to get him to give her words of affirmation. I'm not buying the conflicted thing.

One other thing that stuck out to me was CH's comment on the Jordan confrontation:
"but once again, JoJo found herself in a position where she had to talk to Jordan about his intentions and Jordan found himself on the defensive again, I have a feeling this may be a recurring theme...". That says a lot to me! It shows that their relationship will be consistently rocky, never smooth sailing. And to me, to be F1, there must be some smooth sailing at some point. Unless, JoJo accepts his proposal, there'a a smooth road for a while and then they enter into choppy waters again. But her and Jordan's relationship thus far is not stable. Instability = insecurity, which to me spells a relationship doomed to end.

^avie, I agree with you that the minimizing being done by both JoJo and Chris regarding Chase is curious. Either there is no story there or it's intentional. There's some advertising technique--the name escapes me now--that addresses what's being done presently with Chase. Equally, there are almost zero caps of JoJo giving a PI about Chase where she mentions his name and we can see her mouth. His segments are largely her VOs. Even the part on the 2:1 when she was giving him the rose, we didn't see her mouth after she said his name and until she asked him if he'd accept the rose. Either there's no story there or there's a story that was changed after the season ended.

It just seems the complete opposite of the moments between them on screen.

This season is really the Jordan show.
