JoJo Fletcher - Jordan Rodgers - Bachelorette 12 - Discussion

MiaHawk wrote:Any media company cares about publicity. When Byron V, the professional fisherman, was the Bachelor it brought extra attention to ESPN when he did special events commentating. Women tuned in to watch fishing events just to see him. Women watch racing and monster truck racing because Arie has piqued their interest in the sport. Yes, Jordan could bring some female viewers to SEC. Not so far fetched. The point of the post above was that ESPN may have encouraged him to go on the Bachelorette to drum up enthusiasm and name recognition. Not out of the realm of possibility, IMO.

Win-Win for him.

So it was a no-brain decision for him if in this case and makes it look like he moved for his one and only love for now

Nashville would have been just as easy for SEC travel and would have been closer to Charlotte which appears to be where he will work most.

There's only one SEC school in Texas and that's Texas A&M. That's close to three hours away.

I agree.

Now I think TPTB thought they were getting Aaron's brother and would get Aaron for HTD. My guess is they were not told of the family situation until filming had started. They have not been nice to Jordan post filming.

CH on the other hand likes Jordan and JoJo a lot and might be able to hook them up with some Dallas connections. I live in Dallas and sure wouldn't mind him making it to my TV and Radio broadcast. Although this is mostly Big 12 country.

Im sure ESPN/SEC network will like any extra viewers he might bring in. But I highly doubt they wanted him simply because he was going on the show or asked him to do the show to bring in viewers. There are plenty of female viewers for their stations as is. And it's not like they're hurting for ratings. JMO

Thought I would write a little about my experience meeting Jojo today. We waited outside ABC studios for a little while after they did Live with Kelly/other press. They came out and the interaction was all about one minute. They would not stop for photos initially. Jordan did not say anything to paparazzi and other fans waiting; Jojo did all the talking. Megan (producer) said they were late for their flight so they couldn't stop for photos (there were 4 people + 3 paps). We were all kind of visibly irritated (since neither of their names are Taylor Swift) that they did not stop. Maybe less than a minute later, she rolled down her window and said to come take some selfies quickly.

She was actually very friendly and warm. Sociable. But did not stop. Jordan did not interact at all. I have to say that I actually did believe they broke up post-filming bc of all the media scrutiny, but seeing them together last night at AFTR changed my mind. But seeing them today again reversed me back to believing Steve. When they were inside the ABC building (we could see them coming out), they were not touching at all. They came out and immediately clung to each other after seeing paps. I can't even explain how fake it looked. I'm sure they are encouraged to do so, but it just totally did not seem genuine at all. And everyone around also had the same impression.
