JoJo Fletcher - Jordan Rodgers - Bachelorette 12 - Discussion - #2

However, post filming and how the couple live their lives is the true testament of who they are. If Jordan was sneaking around during filming, going out of his way to see JoJo, IMO that says a lot of how he felt at that time. Fast forward to today, and he has only intensified his actions towards JoJo and what she means to him, for example, picking her up and dropping her off, travelling to pick her up so they can fly somewhere else together, when it would have made sense for him to just fly by himself.

So for me, how he came across on my screen, means nothing, compared to the present day.

Could not agree more! I initially skipped Jojo's season because of the early spoilers and reading about Jordan's "history". It was all a bit stand-offish, IMO. Also, he just looked like a playa! Now he's become one my favorite post show bachs. My old favorites have really worn on me - they love the limelight just a little too much for my taste. Jordan has done nothing but impress since he and Jojo left the ATFR - settling down with his fiancé and his job. He proved so many wrong and is showing how honest he was when he said being with Jojo changed things. Whatever their outcome, he gets major MAN cred with me. Go Jordan!!

IMO that's just another example, of many, where Blogger Boy affects the reputation of contestants with his own warped baseless opinions calling him a dog and a player and just wanting to advance his career. A career he already had in the works before he started filming which has been proven by sleuthers. Or that all he wanted was to be TB, and that he was going to eliminate himself or if he was the F1 it's because he'll look good in front of media. All paraphrasing and going by memory while sleuthing.

One day I hope he get a major lawsuit. This unfounded character assassination needs to stop!

Steve certainly helped but I think we would have thought Baddy was a baddy even without Steve's help. He is incredibly smooth, handsome, well spoken, confident and flirtatious IMO. It doesn't take a big cynic to be wary of him, especially in this setting.

Ditto. Totally agree with this. The first 8 weeks of these relationships in the bubble mean NOTHING compared to outside the bubble - real life and real time .And by all appearances Jordan is scoring an A+ in real life. But the show and what they show and how they show it will usually dictate if I have enough interest in a couple to continue following them. And for me, JoJo's season as a whole was a fail. I'm sure dumb RS didn't help.

Yeah, different strokes for different folks. I liked JoJo since Ben's season, so either way i figured I would enjoy it. I think what I liked most was how natural it progressed on the show with Jordan. You could tell in the beginning he enjoyed her company and was attracted to her. I then saw the switch for him on his second 1-on-1 and his hometown date and I could tell he meant it when he said he was falling for her. At the end, hearing and seeing him say she changed him and she made him believe in himself and the person he's meant to be, it was one of the better moments I had seen on this show in quite a few seasons.

For as suave and well put together Jordan is, I do think he had some self esteem issues, which he essentially told JoJo on his first 1-on-1 with her. He flat out said he made some bad choices in years passed because he thought he had to be someone else. I could appareciate that. He seems like a very solid and hardworking guy that's put in a ton of work for JoJo and his jobs. All JMO

Nothing to add other than this is a wonderful post and exactly how I see their relationship also. I loved watching something real develop here IMO and Jo never settling for what he wanted to give her at first, which is what he thought he was capable of, and pushing him to his potential as a partner. IMO.

Beautiful post. I also appreciate that though it was clear to viewers and contestants alike that JoJo was smitten for Jordan since night one, what I appreciate was that she was not afraid to ask him the tough questions, over and over again. Also, for some guys, that would have been a major turn off to be questioned at every turn, but he was tenacious and patient with JoJo as he saw the potential in her and them as a couple.

Two really funny baddy moments I loved showcasing his patience and sanity IMO when she was being the opposite: Jo's breakdown after their htd, where he was all, "Yeah, you're psycho, but oh well, I love you and will propose/marry you,"  and when he didn't descend down her path of wanting to start a huge fight over the dad thing on their LCD. She was jonesing for max drama with him IMO and he just stayed steady talking about the issue and not veered off topic to "attack" her, which she was dying for

Haha omg that was the best . Jo sometimes really wanted some kind of drama from him, and he would never give that. He was always cool and patient. Ive never seen his pitch go high or him getting angry. WOW he is such a baddy, I dunno how he does that. Because when I was watching and Jo was sometimes being whiny, I was like nope not again but these two are

Yep @aviej! Total entertainment. He looks like he has a raging headache in both of these situations
