I felt she was upset because jordan did not pay much attention during the sex show. Maybe she told him that she made many moves and he did none in return? The way she said that she is an open book (something similar) and him difficult to read. I translate that to: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE show me you are falling in love, show me your affection, show me you want me as much as I am desperate to want you.

Joke aside. Lot of edits with this conversation but the result is there. I felt she made him some reproach that he was not paying enough attention to her.

I'm the Bachelorette don't you know. Pay attention to me!!! Look at those other guys fighting for my attention. WTH is wrong with you? This isn't the plan!

Despite his protestations that it takes him a while to open up, I am not getting the impression that Jordan is all that into JoJo. Certainly not to the degree that she is into him. She is just a hot girl who happens to be the only girl around. He shows more emotion hanging with the guys and when she tells him for the umpteenth time to open up, he just goes with the flow and tells her what she wants to hear. Seriously, I have never seen a lead push a guy so much, so early. Usually that comes towards the end. If I didn't know better, I would say she was desperate.

Didn't Des start pressing Brooke about his feeling about the same episode that Jojo starts pressing Jordan?  

It would be nice if Jordan bales like Brooks did and she ends up choosing Chase. And re: his hair, I think Jordan would look better with his head shaved ala JP Rosenbaum, who oddly enough has hair right now.

I think Jordan's the youngest brother. He seems to be at a different stage of life than they are. I don't see Jordan being ready for a committed relationship based on what I've observed. Once RS posts his column tomorrow its going to be even more obvious. Jordan's currently in a relationship by default since he ended up as F1. I don't see it lasting like his brothers relationships have JMO

"What are the best and worst parts of being in a relationship with you?
The best part is that when I love, I love with everything I have—I give 100 percent and am very loyal. The worst part is that I expect the same in return. I want the affection, the talking, the affirmation, and some guys find that needy."

This might explain why she comes off as desperate with Jordan, she likes him and she is all in with him. I can't blame her for this, sometimes we can't help who we like.

That quote makes me feel a bit sad for her. Neediness stems from insecurity and seems like JoJo's used to dating guys who aren't as into her as she's into them, making her feel insecure in the relationship. I bet she wouldn't be half as needy with the right guy, someone like Chris Siegfried who doesn't let the object of his affection wonder for a second how he feels. I was pretty needy too until I met a guy who shows me how much he cares every day without any prodding. That's what feeling safe is all about and she kept saying she wants that. Jordan on the other hand seems like just the type of guy who tries to keep all women at a distance and complains about them being needy when they expect anything more than some fun between the sheets. Harsh perhaps, but that's my read on him so far. JoJo deserves better.

^^^I don't care what RS has to say. I will wait and hear from Jo and Jordan first hand.

I tweeted JoJo she needs to find someone that loves her more than she loves them. That she needs to be the one to love less. That way the heart and mind is completely healthy.

^ It's a messy logic in a sense, but it's true IMO. I've experienced that many times and have seen others experience it too. Hopefully she saw it in the wade of tweets she's been getting since the show premiered

^^^But maybe she did find love. ;)

You're right. Only Jordan/JoJo know what's really going on. I'm just speculating. The status of their relationship will eventually come out in the open. I just don't want to see JoJo get hurt  JMO

Maybe. But it's still good food for thought.

He does that quite often IMO, HEA. Even more so than Jo did when the season first began. She's not as bad for it now, tho.

^ I don't recall JoJo looking into the camera. This season nor last...

Yeah, I agree Jordan does it often. It's very obvious and distracting and makes him seem insincere, whether he really is or not.

I don't ever recall seeing Jojo do that on either season, but may have missed it. It certainly never jumped out at me though like it does with Jordan.

IMO, if he was really into her, they would be the only two people in the world. He wouldn't even know the cameras were there. Sorry, I just don't think he is into her.
