Probably, but if that's the case they should fire their storyboard peeps and editors because zzzzzzzzzz. I have no doubt she's with Jordan now, but I'd like to think they may throw some twist in along the way. One thing that puzzles me is why they don't at least use the footage they do have to cast some doubt on Jordan as F1. We know from the preview that she and Robby were in bed together in BA. The kissing scene by the tower also looked hotter in the season preview than in the episode. In the preview she told Robby she was afraid of being hurt again before his ILY; that was also cut. Why was Robby verified on Instagram and not Luke, if Luke is the one that's the next bachelor? I think some only care about the final outcome which is totally fine, but the outcome is less interesting to me than how they are going to get there. I keep thinking about JoJo (allegedly) telling ChadR.. "It's a TV show." IA, so why would a TV show go from point A to B with no surprises?

Throw in a twist? This isnt Big Brother.....

What happens during filming happens....all they got to work with is the edit.

I'm much more cynical than that about this show. I think they throw in fake drama all the time. Even if all they have is the edit, why aren't they using it to build up some of the other relationships to rival Jordan's? I can't believe he got the boat/seals and private plane date and yet they edited out Robby in bed with her. Once Luke leaves, they have no other relationship remotely developed enough to go up against Jordan at the FRC.

ITA, grace. Your last line sums up my confusion about their method of editing and has me questioning my own thoughts of who is F1. I keep asking myself how Robby even got to F2 since he is virtual missing in action compared to the other guys.  Despite  Robby's bizzare behaviour on sm and the shv purportedly to be with Jordan,  is it even remotely possible that Robby is the hidden F1?

Anyway I've been meaning to say that my mother and sister are always unspoiled, they don't even know who RS is, and they think Jojo is madly in love with Luke and he's the one for her. That date this week sealed the deal for them, especially how he taught her to shoot and how happy she was when she hit the clay pigeon. They see so much chemistry with them contrasting even how she was on a horse with Alex V. Luke. They are almost overwhelmingly gleeful about the idea that she will reject "smarmy" (their words not mine) Jordan at final two. They also feel Chase or Robby will be the next bachelor and are quite confused as to why we know so little about them so late in the game if we are going to have a season full of them. 
I can't decide if they are going to be heart broken next week when Luke leaves for whatever reason or if they will be happy that he has a chance to be the Bachelor. I wanted to make them re-watch Jojo greeting Jordan at the private airplane as I feel if they watched it again maybe they would see that she's different with him. I also can't decide if they are seeing what they want to see or what the editors want them to see. They think Jojo is seeing right through Jordan as they are.

I don't think there's any chance she's with Robby now. Based on SM, she's with Jordan imo. I was just speculating about them shaking it up a bit towards the end because otherwise it seems like such a boring end to a very predictable season to me and I don't dislike Jordan, so it's not that. I'm kind of indifferent on the F4 at this point.

I was also wondering why Robby's verified. He only had like 60k followers at the time. It might be wishful thinking, but I haven't counted him out for the next bachelor. Maybe he's going to get some really heart breaking edit, like when Arie didn't know that Emily had already chosen Jef. That could account for his tweets at the beginning of the season.
