It's his bed of tricks

Yes, IIRC, Jojo admitted that it has been rough hearing all of the negativity on SM. Jojo did. Not Jordan. I've never questioned Jojo's honesty or trustworthiness. It is Jordan's integrity I have questioned, and I saw him pretending during the season, and I still see him pretending right now. He thinks he can distract the viewers with his misdirection and platitudes. But, I'm no Jojo, and I can see right through his BS. 

IMO, he got himself in over his head when he signed up for this season. He went for the experience/exposure/travel/fun/off-chance he might meet a nice girl that he could possibly date casually and then break up with. He kept sliding by each week. Doing and saying just enough for her to believe him and that his intentions were true. I do not believe he wanted, nor was he ready to be in a committed relationship/engaged/marriage.  He was practically shouting out all of the reasons she should NOT pick him, but she had 'the curtain' in front of her eyes. He liked her enough to stay til the end, and other than the FS 'benefits', I don't think he thought any of it out. He's just flying by the seat of his pants, waiting for the attention to die down, so he can scamper quietly into the night. JMHOAA.

Wow, Elan really hasn't posted any congratulations? He usually does, definitely something weird going on. Imo

I know people... those I just met, those I work with, those whom I have great admirations for, SM friends and met casually and those I've known for years. My best friends are known by me for years.

Imo, I just don't get this "my best friend" thing I've heard over a few weeks time spans when these people know nothing of each other. Bluff!!!

I think when you are in the bubble, the relationships are accelerated. They sure seemed to know quite a bit about each other when they played the "Nearlywed" game on Kelly, Kimmel and backstage at GMA. Childhood friends, favorite song, among other questions which I can't think of right now because it's late.

So jojo bought their new house already in Dallas ? Or she is still in the process of buying it ?

We have many different opinions and mine is just different than that.  I think that anyone that goes on the show really does not know if they will win, but okay with an adventure, making friends and travel.   That is okay, falling in love might be a surprise.  I happen to think that Jordan really does like and is starting to fall in love with JoJo... how far that will go they do not really know yet.  They need at least a few months in real life to know.  They have as good a shot at love as anyone does.  They both come from families that believe in love and marriage.  Jordan has spoken about the good marriage of his parents and grandparents.  I am willing to send this couple encouraging thoughts and much love.  I hope they make it and have grandchildren some day. Wishing more love and less hurt.

CH posted a photo of all three of them today with his congratulations and a caption about "Thai" the knot. Very clever, CH.

In my view if Elan did not post a photo that is his problem not JoJo and Jordan's.

Not necessarily.  It'll depend on what roll he really takes on, IMO.  But they do make mistakes, laugh, joke and goof around some too.

And I agree, each of us see things differently, so I will listen, take it into consideration and wait and see.  

Ladybug, Now I know why you were so patient with me!   You're much too nice!   

Umm thanks, I think?  

Coming into the season, I didn't have high hopes. I never expectted to like the final guys, especially/even Jordan.  With all the rumors and all, I really thought it'd be a quick and easy dislike.  But for some reason I can't.  I don't do fan girl very well but so far I like them together.  

And I certainly don't get the doom and gloom and totally fake vibes I've  gotten in the past from Andi and
Josh, Em and Brad, Em and 1F, Chris and Whitney, etc.  So, that's why I say I'll wait and see.  

At this point I think they like each other.  Will it last?  Who knows and that's up to them decide if they're what each wants and needs in and out of a partner, relationship and doing life together.  But I wish them well and hope for the best for them (separately and/or together), just like I do all couples coming off the show, whether I like them or not or if I think they'll last or not.    JMO

I started to post my opinion of the happy couple, but you took the words out of my mouth or is it fingers and said it so much better than I could have. I will wait and see with ya. ; )

Here is the photo mentioned above.

The diverse opinions here are amazing especially for someone like me who is dead neutral on the couple. One thing that is clear IMO is that we all agree that the truth will come out someday....it always does with peeps from this franchise....only a matter of time as they say. But I digress, please carry on

For realz!!  How many more of the "erase board Newlywed" games were they going to play?  Sheeeesh!  I mean, I knew the answers!!!  And, glad to know they are all caught up on Bates Motel and American Horror Story.  I can Netflix binge with the best of them, but it sounds like they have been spending some mighty "quality" time together in those SHV's.  Loved how Jordan said:  "Lots of Netflix and chill".  Super classy to say about "the love of your life".   I would be so proud....NOT!

Lauren and Ben said the exact same thing about Netflix and Chill on Live with Kelly last season. That's all the couples can really do other than talk

Wait, is "chill" code word for "sex"? 
Maybe Netflix, talking, and sex are the only things that some of these couples are able to come up with, but I freaking guarantee that if my Spumoni was in a SHV there'd be a lot more creativity than that! OH, Yeah!   

Yes, it does. But I don't think either Lauren or Jordan meant it that way. They just meant they were watching a lot of television series IMO.
