ETA I don't blame Jojo but TPTB for messing up the basic premise of a lead meeting 25 strangers night one and going from there.

It has happened before.  Jen the bachelorette actually helped pick her 25 guys.  Matt and Shayne are another example, and didn't Jason say he got to see pictures of the girls first and look at their bios before the show started?  I don't think it is a big deal.  TPTB will do whatever they need to do to ensure drama and a ratings.  Remember they let Jillian leave during filming to visit her best friend Shannon and talk about the men --- she especially said she went and wanted to see what her friends thought of Ed.  All of this "behind the scenes stuff" happens more than anyone would care to know.

Oh and imo celebrity dirty laundry is scum.  They scrape the bottom of the barrel for "news."  ;)

Exactly this. That's what I always say plus for me, I just don't look at this show as some sort of fairytale. Most leads get hooked on one or two contestants right out of the limo on the first night and then they chase them all season long. It's not JoJo's fault production leaked Jordan, so if JoJo knew before that first night that Jordan would be someone she was interested in, then it is what it is. She would have been hooked on him the second he stepped out the limo regardless if she knew he was going on before or not. IMO.
