JoJo Fletcher-Rodgers & Jordan Rodgers - Bachelorette 12 - Discussion - #4

I think once the buffer couple before them goes kaput, these two will face more heat. Honestly though, I have grown to like them a lot, like a lot. Just also kind of get a smidge annoyed at the OTT blind adoration and defending they receive, over like everything. It can be a bit of a turn off.

Turn on the oven, babe

Don’t get me wrong, I still love them!! And I’d like to think I’m fair, usually. I don’t need to praise everything they do to still like/enjoy them. Imo.

Now. What other coupling can I interrogate on this fine Tuesday afternoon?

For each episode, they have 15 minutes to complete a home/DIY project. No major issues are going to be aired on this, IMO.

@sosleepy hey, it might not seem like it, but if in some way this 15 minute episode turns into an episode of Marriage Bootcamp or an episode of Ben and Lauren’s show I’ll be the first to say I hate it and I’m disappointed

If it's 99% home reno with little tidbits thrown in along the lines about how annoying Jojo finds it when Jordan scrapes the cereal bowl with his spoon, then yeah it's all good. But part of Jojo & Jordan's appeal, at least to me, is how little we know about the issues that crop up in their relationship. I know it turns some people off because they seem so unrelatable but relatability is highly overrated nowadays. Eff being relatable, don't invite people into your personal business, especially strangers.

I have grown to like them as well, but I must say this disappoints me. My question is why?

If the main objective is to have a series of DYI projects, How to install a door knob type of series, (Like I did a few weeks back) I'd say go for it.

I'm on my own. If I need something done, I'll go to youtube to look it up and do it myself. I would be interested in watching something like that.

I think they have kept a lot of their personal life private, and give their fans just enough, which I like.

The description of the show says there will be diy/home decor projects. That’s seemingly one of their main objectives.

Can we at least watch the first episode so we get an idea before there are freak outs one way or another..?

Who's freaking out?

Everyone to some extent and in different ways.

JoJo and Jordan have grown on me. I like them. Respect them, even. But come on, everyone’s $hit stinks. They aren’t immune to mild criticism. Their discussion thread gets mild traction for the first time in dang near a year, for something rather innocuous, and the fans lose their minds. Cheers! 

JMO

I'm confused. Are the Jojo/Jordan fans attacking each other and the fans losing their minds forum members posting in this thread?

Oooof I’m just glad they’ve finally got my blood pressure stabilized and upped my dose of Xanax so I’m okay, no worries.

Seriously imo- dissenting from the majority opinion or not praising everything someone is doing from a reality tv show empire isn’t freaking out and it is okay, nothing to be anxious about.

Yeah, sorry, literally no one is freaking out here. Not even the tiniest bit. 

Man, I wish I had a favorite couple that kept their dirt so private that even the mildest criticism any Bachelor couple has ever gotten in the history of this forum's existence could be enough to upset me. Come on, Bachelor gods, make it happen! I'm tired of all my messy faves!

Omg, Same girl, same.

Former Jillian/Ed, Emily/Jef, Ben/Lauren fan here.  God, how embarrassing. I know what it’s like to be on the fan side of a blood bath in a discussion thread.  This doesn’t even come close.

Also freaking out?  Definitely not going to lose any sleep here.

Is there a rule that we can't freak out even if we were?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, positive negative freaking out watch it not watch it and still comment. No one has to wait for anything.
