Bachelorette 14 - Becca Kufrin - Media SM - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #6

Interview with Jordan about his Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise experience.

Some interesting tidbits, worth a read.

Not so nice about Becca....

“Becca isn’t as outgoing as she should have been with The Bachelorette. She’s not the most fun person. Dating should be fun. She’s really not that type of girl. I’m not going to say it’s painful talking to her. She’s very dry. Becca’s the kind of girl who goes golfing with Grandpa wearing pleated khaki shorts.”

Different people find different things fun. Clearly Becca and Jordan don't find the same things interesting, In addition, she has it a lot harder than he does. If he found it tiring what about her since she is pretty much filming non stop? I like how he emphasizes he isn't as shallow as presented by lots of editing and doesn't always talk about modelling and yet his cut up of Becca is about fashion. He is harmless, but he is nevertheless somewhat full of himself. From what he says he thinks that BIP will portray him in a more serious light. I will be pretty surprised if it does. I fully expect more of the same...with perhaps a bit of his love story thrown in. I forget who he ends up paired with, but I wouldn't be surprised they are both shown somewhat shallow, vapid and self obsessed.

A poster on reddit actually dm'd him about what he said, telling him that he shouldn't be picking on her because of the stressful environment she was in at the time. He responded with something about he wasn't picking on Becca and that he does like her.

From other guys interviews, they all have nothing bad to say about her. Just that she was there for a reason... to find someone to spend her life with. Of course, she is going to be more animated with those people she was interested in. Heck, their conversation about how they spent their weekends showed how far apart these 2 were in their priorities. Life is not all fun and games 24/7. Becca is appearing to me to have fun when needed and shows the serious side when needed as well on the show.

If his rumored partner on BIP is the one he does end up with, they totally go together from what I see on her IG.

@Sprite funny how several of the guys have said Jordan is exactly like they have shown him...

Jordan is just upset she did not choose him more or less calling becca boring when I found him one dimensional only could talk about his modeling jmo

He talked all about himself through that whole interview. Sorry I can't buy his story of not being self absorbed

I think Jordan's date wasn't meant to be fun since 2 on 1's are always all about being in the middle of nowhere and just having a series of conversations until one person is left behind. I think Becca naturally had fun with her F4 because she was either physically or emotionally attracted to them. I think the shot of Becca barely wanting to hug Jordan speaks how she felt about their compatibility.

@IrelandRose So now I'm curious about BIP ...!

Jordan isn't alone. I find her boring too.

I always find it off putting when someone tries to bash the lead especially when trying to stay relevant

and if Boring is the worst he can come up with then Becca is doing just fine. JMO

Good article about what goes on during filming, and how much TPTB manipulate them, as if we didn't know.

If Becca didn't have any interest in him, there's no reason why she couldn't at least have fun with him. I can see his point, she would probably be boring because she didn't want to be with him, rather than giving everyone a chance like she asked viewers to.

I got a kick out of Jordan, he made me laugh. It was so obvious that was his "role" as he himself explains in the article.

I find her extremely boring as the lead not to much fun to watch. This board is proof of that IMO i have never seen it so quiet here.

And the ratings have been pretty low this season, right? Or have they improved since the first few weeks?

That was me! He responded super quickly. I don't think he was actually trying to bash her but what he said was still not a good look.

Ratings have been pretty consistent at 1.6, whatever that means.
It is down overall, in comparisons to past seasons.
We have a thread for weekly ratings on the forum that shows nitty gritty w links.
