Jordan Rodgers - Bachelorette 12 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* #6

I tend to think it was the addition of a new person to the family equation. Who knows what kind of straw broke the family's camel's back. It could have been several little things and then ka-boom or one big ka-boom. 
IDK.

^^ the family seems to have embraced Luke's gf. It looks like she is very close to them all.

Yeah. I feel bad because it's like only the 2 bros in the family. Even for national sibling day on insta, it's just the two boys and BBJs background is a family vacay with just the two of them, parents and gf Lindsey. Awkward.

It's awkward and sad. 
I know of a situation similar. The difference is the couple on the outs is the more correct party.  
We don't know the circumstances. Numbers don't make the situation correct. Marilyn Munster comes forefront in my mind. She was the black sheep in the Munster family.
Hopefully adding JoJo to the dynamics could change things again and for the better.

There are multiple adults involved in this rift, and I highly doubt Aaron and Olivia alone are to blame for it, or alone in the wrong. And I HIGHLY doubt Jordan bringing up Aaron (whom he didn't bother informing about going on the show) on the show and the rift will make it better.

Sometimes blood relations is not enough reason to keep in contact, and some family members are better off apart. As sad as it is, I know that personally. I don't know what JoJo getting included into the family mix could and would do to fix it all.

I don't think JoJo has the ability to change anything in this family.  She is a stranger to these people and I'm sure Aaron is not going to listen to anything she has to say.  She could encourage Jordan to speak to his brother but then it would have to be up to Aaron to respond to that.  Maybe she will try to speak to Olivia and they both encourage the brothers, but I don't think the rift is actually just between the brothers.  There's the parents and Luke also in the mix.  I think JoJo probably should just stay out of it.  She certainly doesn't want to make enemies with the parents.

The rift is between the parents and Aaron and the boys took the parents side, imho.

She would not have to say anything. Sometimes a ray of light makes things brighter and better. Kind of like the ripple or butterfly effect.

I've edited my original post because I made a mistake and said Luke when I meant to say Aaron. sorry about that.

I think if anything, adding JoJo and another "celebrity couple" to the fray (not to mention, the show and JoJo by proxy is the reason this family feud went national and came to light, and Jordan dished to JoJo about personal things, with more to come next week, again on national tv) will only complicate things further for the family. JoJo seems like a fun loving, peace maker. But honestly, her presence only complicates life further for the Rodgers fam. JMO.

I don't see how Jo will complicate things further. Yeah she's not just a gf because they're high profile too, but Lindsey is already around and I doubt she's complicated or helped the situation as normal gf either way. As for Jo, I hope she'll focus on her own relationship before anything else. "Knowing" her, she will probably be focused most on BBJ anyway and it won't be an issue imo.

I think for once, let Jojo focus on herself. What about whomever she's with focus on Jojo too and deal with their issues or family problems.  And basically spare Jojo the drama.
