It's not unusual for the order to be altered between filming and what we actually see.  Whatever best fits the story they're trying to show and draw the most ratings (like waiting to show Jojo's last) is what they do.

Look who's talking about being coached. This IMO is laughable. They all know what to say and how to act. I like how they focused on BenP (Nice bachelor shot) when the other brother was talking it sounded like it was spliced around 10 second mark. That's the brother that's friends with Jake P, and BenP says Jake gave him good advice when he went on Ready for Love. I wouldn't be surprised if he got some acting tips from him as well and from Jamie Otis since BenP dated her too.

And therein lies my problem with Jojo. Is the logic that she wouldn't tap into the expert Jake Pavelka? I know that a lot of Bach alum know each other , but this is Jake imo. How is this not hypocrisy for her brothers or Jojo? I'm just asking .

An interesting view GA - clearly Ben talked enough with Jake to understand Jake's experience on The Bachelor because he said "His experience was very different than mine." at about 1:50 in that video.

I find this confrontation between JoJo's brothers and Ben very interesting because if that happened to me in real life with brothers of a girl I was dating she would have been very quickly removed from my cell phone contact list. That's not a family I would want as in laws.

Lol @ JoJo's brother. No one will be as iconic as Des' brother.

I think Ben's youth was showing there. Clearly he's not used to being questioned. "Am I that evil..." No one called you evil, Ben, that's just your conscience talking.

Man i am looking forward to this episode so much but i am trying to fight sleep so hard.

Hi everyone

Hi mizzoufan

Threads are locked. Enjoy the show everyone.

I am probably in the minority but i see nothing wrong in jojo's brother's approach. There has been 20 seasons of the bachelor and we all know the lead always always leads the women on. The contestants family dont have to go with the premise imo. They are within their rights to call bullcrap on the lead giving bachelor speak.
At the end of the day, Ben knew he was picking
Lauren of all the spoilers are to be believed so I guess the brother was right to call him out.
I would do the same if I was introduced to a guy dating my sister and 3 other girls tbh

Exactly, there's been 20 seasons and they know the premise, they know the process, and they know their sister/daughter is most likely being lead on. Which is why they should say something to her before she goes on the show, not wait until the HTD to suddenly act like they have a problem with the process.
