Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it's finally ******** over

We shall see just how much this franchise likes Jordan.

@Kashathediva hope your stop watch is ready. 10 minutes will be a miracle.

JoJo's other BFF Bradleigh's husband is a professional baseball player for the White Sox

I get the feeling TPTB don't care for this pairing much and most likely don't think they will last long-term, imo. It's so apparent to me with the way they edited this season...not just Jordan, but also the way JoJo was portrayed, as well as the others...particularly Jordan's antagonists (opposites) Luke, Robby, and Chase. 
I've noticed that Elan has a pattern of posting an artsy IG photo of the lead/F1 together as a teaser a two days before the finale on the couples maybe he & perhaps TPTB feel could make it long-term and beyond. 
He did this for: Des/Chris S and most recently Ben/Lauren. He didn't for Kaitlyn/Shawn, Chris Soules/Whitney, or JoJo/F1.

Wow! This is interesting about what Elan posts. I know he did things like this for BenLo but didn't know he left out Kait and Soules. Elan has his own way of throwing shade it seems imo

I don't know why Elan would feel the need to post any shade because he appears to be vey friendly with most contestants, including K+S and at least, with Jo as well. And why would he need to shade them anyway, they don't do anything wrong to him, unless I'm missing something? I'm not trying to derail anyone's opinions but perhaps this is a case of looking for patterns where non exist and he is just feeling more artistic some days? Jmo.

Yes. ^@Foreverlove

He posted a photo of JPG and Nikki right after the finale horseback riding and look where they ended up. We will see what happens tonight, post-show.

Yeah, I'm a bit confused. Elan, and all of the other producers, have shown JoJo and the contestants a ton of love on social media this season.

I agree in that he does seem generally supportive of most cast members. Not saying he throws shade, but he does have final couples he has done this for (note: 2 days before finale airs, not during finale or after). Chris and Des on a flowery mountaintop and Ben & Lauren on a secluded beach.

ETA: Artsy IG post aside, look at how this season was edited. That tells me a lot about where TPTB heads are at with this couple. It is a contrast to Ash/JP, Chris/Des, Ben/Lauren, imo.
