Essentially living Selma's life I could see that for her! The ex was like 12 years older than her, and she probably started dating him at 22ish.

Oh nooo. This sounds awful 

Why? It's better than 30 year old frat boys IMO.

Alanna:
Lord. No to all these  And so far, so good on that not happening anytime soon IMO!

Here is my long range prediction:

JoJo and Jordan DO get married. But they are our first Bachelor divorce. ESPN and Access Hollywood careers eventually get in the way. Kids: optional. Possible Jordan is cheating rumors during the divorce tabloid mess. 

Before the fans get their panties all in a twist, I'm wrong a lot. So don't worry. JMO.

It's a discussion thread. It's ok.

As of now everything is going much better then expected. I don't know about the future. But I certainly don't want to see a divorce. That would be very heartbreaking not only for them two but for the families involved as well. I can't even think about that scenario so let's stay positive and hope for the best.

It's more likely that they won't get married than a divorce IMO. What's the Bachelor/Ette lasting rate? Oh wait...I know! So yeah, if I was a betting person, I'd say they wouldn't even have the chance to get a divorce, if they don't end up marrying. IMO.

I'm def not wishing a divorce on them, or anyone. Agree they have exceeded expectations and seem happy.

But, statistically, one of these couples (at least) will hit this milestone. Why not? That's life. The more married couples, the more mind boggling this hasn't happened yet. I think it's inevitable. Of course these two gotta make it to the alter first, but smart money on the divorced couple goes to the couple with strong media careers/connections + previous infidelity rumors.


All JMO and silly speculation. Like who the heck knows, really?

JoJo to me is a normal looking young lady. She IMO is not strikingly beautiful and Jordan does nothing for me at all.

IMO she didn't appear confident in her two seasons. That was my opinion of her which didn't make me care for her, or not care for her. She was pretty boring IMHO. Confident is all subjective IMO. IA though that Jordan has had an impact on her. If she wasn't with him I'm sure we would see endless selfies and SM. I think it's Jordan that holds back on SM due to his employer, and IMO rightly so.  

They appear to be very happy, enjoy life with endless vacations, hard work, and keeping themselves in the spotlight which most of the times has to do with working, whether it be shilling or Jordan's media job. Their life seems to work for them, I'm not sure that a wedding is in the near future. They really haven't been together all that long, so IMO a wedding can wait, for awhile yet.

^ As I said, marriage would need to happen in order for a divorce to take place. Statistically speaking, as you said, more couples from this show break up than marry. Most of the couple's from the franchise, especially in the earlier days, would stay together for at least a year and a half-2 years before breaking up. Some even 3/4 years. And no marriage. If they encounter problems in their relationship eventually, it's common sense not to marry. JoJo is not working for accesshollywood btw. It was for extra, and it was only a if they need her/want her thing, since they also had Chad interview the DWTS couples too.

All IMO.

I agree. I find her cute, even adorable but I don't think she is beautiful at all, same for Jordan, I find him OK looking. Just a normal guy.

All IMO.

No. I argue that couples from the early days fizzled practically right away. With only a few exceptions: Byron/Mary, Charlie/Sarah, Trista/Ryan (obviously), and like Meredith/Ian who clocked a year. Otherwise early day relationships were DISMAL for this franchise. I'm talking months or even weeks, or like not at all. Pathetic. I'm not sure what has changed, but now there is much better success rates with couples usually at least trying for 6 months minimum, usually at least a year or longer. I suspect the shilling and the brand plays a role now. And maybe (if CH is to be believed ) the show has just gotten better at facilitating relationships and giving them more time via safe house visits or whatever... more laxed policy during the airing of the show, which is when and how many early couples imploded. IMO. 

I know she did a stint with Extra. I was being general and flip. Extra/Acess Hollywood. Tamatoe/Tahmato. IMO

I see them getting married and not even because of my own romantic notions of their coupledom. I think Baddy realizes how "valuable" a connection to her will and already is for him personally and professionally and there's no reason not to strengthen their relationship with marriage. Just my own cynical spin on a couple I seriously love to follow and fan for.

I don't know about a future divorce  Maybe as a middle age crisis thing for him though.
