bluwavz wrote:I'm having trouble with this week's issue of Us Weekly that I bought online and can only read the text version right now but anyway it says on the LCD (after they went kayaking) that JoJo grills the suitor (Jordan) who didn't ask for Papa Fletcher's permission to marry her and his explanation is that he didn't ask because her parents didn't meet the other guy yet and he didn't think it was fair. It says his rambling explanation only upset JoJo. It was a big issue for her and she was really hurt. It says the next morning this suitor phoned JoJo's parents and told them JoJo meant everything to him and asked for their blessing and they said yes. He wrote JoJo a letter explaining his eleventh-hour move and when she read it, she cried.

When the F1 arrived at the FRC he told JoJo he loved her so much and promised to protect her and keep her safe and that he would wake up every day and choose her. After he proposed, he and JoJo kept saying they loved each other over and over again. A Bachelorette insider says they met up secretly outside of LA the weekend of July 9th and that JoJo and the winner are going strong and are very happy together.

As for the F2 it says when he arrived at the FRC he told JoJo that his love for her made him weak in the knees. Before he could drop to one knee, JoJo stopped him and told him her heart was with someone else and that he deserves the type of love that he had given her. It says he was shocked but not bitter and he just wanted JoJo to be happy.

I think the truth was that he was scared because there was another guy there and didn't want to put himself out there like that. Not great but he eventually did so at least he wasn't too late.

On their LCD he says in the preview that he doesn't know if it's him that she wants and there's another guy there. Perhaps if the asking of the permission is so important to him he simply didn't feel comfortable doing it knowing another guy would probably be doing the same thing to JoJo's dad as well.

Or quite simply, Jordan was asked to have it play out like this because this was the issue production wanted Jordan to overcome in the finale. Perhaps they asked him to not ask on their MTP date. IMO

Exactly, IA. IMO the second bold is because they purposely made a big deal about the first bold.

ETA: could this be the "what you did to me" She took his word re first bold, but didn't come through with it?
