All JMO.

YES, he is always bitter!! He is kind to Jordan compared to how he treated and talked about Jef.

Yup. And Ed. That was BRUTAL. Ed didn't deserve even a quarter of the mud RS threw at him. Honestly.

Ed deserved everything everyone threw at him.

One can still enjoy the show for what it is: a TV show. A chance to pretend. So, while I'm watching, I will pretend Jordan is what he seems to be on the show, and enjoy the chemistry. But I'm not going to join a fan club, work on gifts, get into arguments about who is best for her, and so on. I think we know enough to apply a healthy dose of skepticism.

Like RS or not, he is right more often than he is wrong about this kind of thing. He crowd sources a LOT of information, and patterns will definitely emerge. Does that mean Jordan is for sure not sincere by the end of filming? No. Getting caught by surprise and changing for love is, of course, possible, and even RS admits that. Likely? Not really, but if that is the story someone finds fulfillment with, go for it. Enjoy it. Me? No, I consider it unlikely, but I will be happy to pretend for a year or so. If they stay together for 2 years ... then I might actually believe.

I do feel sorry for JoJo, however. There is no way that this creates something positive for her. Face it, the beans would have spilled even without RS, so even if Jordon did make a 180, that is a lot to contend with, to process, and to sort out. A strong and capable woman like her doesn't deserve to be taken for a ride on TV, and deserves better than the road she is headed for if it turns out he is sincere.

I just realized that a whole lot of romance novels are built on the scoundrel who turned for true love, but do very many people really want that in real life? So much safer on a written page. Or viewed as a reality TV show.

Whatever pain comes after the breakup is going to be worth all the fun she had during the show and is having with him now in seclusion. Life is about the experiences imo and her extreme reaction over Jordan is a rare thing to find. It's worth it to explore the relationship to me.
