JoJo Fletcher - Jordan Rodgers - Bachelorette 12 - Discussion - #2

And to think Jordan was a last minute addition and he only signed on once he was told it was JoJo apparently because that's who he wanted it to be. So thankful

I thought there was a handful of really attractive guys on her season, but personality wise and how they carry themselves, what duds IMO.

I quite liked Chase in the beginning, but he lost me during the FD episode when he got so pissed over JoJo sending him home from the FS. It just felt like he was more upset about not getting to have sex with her than he was about not making it to the end. The apology at the rose ceremony had image repair written all over it IMO. I think he was still referring to the FS dumping in that podcast as well, so clearly it hurt his ego. Robby always seemed super rehearsed and that podcast just shows what happens when he hasn't rehearsed or is too drunk to remember his lines. JMO.

I disliked Jordan during the show as well, but by the end I would've picked him too from that bunch, if turning everyone down wasn't an option. JoJo really fell for him though and he's living up to her expectations and then some so far, so I'm really happy for her! I guess her unconditional love is just what he needed to step up to the plate.

Agreed, Ash.  

To think of all the Jordan's there for the wrong reasons talk that was everywhere.  

And now look at the rest that were supposed to be there for the right reasons.    IMO, they all think they're suddenly important celebs and their opinions matter.  I used to like a few of them, or at least didn't mind them.  Now I can't wait for them to go away. JMO

ITA with all of this! Good post.
I didn't really dislike Jordan but sometimes he just came off as if he wasn't really ready. IA it was JoJo's love that made him be a better person and now Im so happy that it was him instead of these bunch of idiots..

Not to get all sappy, but Jordan's proposal and the words he said leading up to it will always be one of my favorites because he just kept saying how JoJo changed him, brought out the best version of himself, and she taught him that who he is as a person is enough.

I think for a few years Jordan went through a phase of not knowing who he was and thinking he wasn't enough so he rebelled a bit (a lot of which is IMO fairly normal behavior for someone in their mid twenties), which is understandable IMO given all of the different things that I won't touch on. I think after meeting JoJo, it just clicked for him, which is what he pretty much said. Sometimes it just takes meeting the right person. IMO

Now we have a lot of the other guys from their season trying to find themselves and enjoy the fame, but it's just not pretty IMO

I was never a fan of Jojo's F6 and some of their post show behavior reminds me of gossipy teenage girls. I was skeptical about Jordan too but I am glad that so far he has proved me wrong. IMO Jojo seems to be a genuinely good person and if Jordan brings her happiness, I truly hope they make it.

IMO Jordan should continue to stay away from 'the garden (of rotten vegetables IMO)'

I ended up listening to a little bit of the podcast, and Chase even said "who wants to get invited to the fantasy suite, but not get the fantasy?" (In regards to JoJo dumping him in the fantasy suite after she had invited him.) So yeah, I think his anger stemmed from not getting the "fantasy"..

Every season of this show, I'm so excited for the next, mostly because I'm annoyed with the contestants being everywhere on everything. So yeah, I'm ready for these guys to be a thing of the past already. Seems like they think being in the Bachelor family is like being in a frat house/sorority. Too bad they don't get class rings..

IMO.

I was a Jordan fan from Day 1 and never liked Robby at all.  I'm pretty sure by the end of JoJo's season, the only guys I liked were Luke, Derek and Wells.  And post show, I really only like Derek (besides Jordan, obviously).

But for all of the crap Jordan (undeservingly, IMO) got, clearly JoJo was super smart in making her choice.  She chose the guy who was completely dedicated to her, but also to his career and is and continues to show that he's extremely mature for 27.  As to whatever is going on with the Rodgers family has been in all sorts of media reports, etc., but I hope for all of their sake they are eventually able to reconcile.  I do think CH and TPTB like to stir the pot because they want to feel like they are somehow responsible for a reconciliation, because it would be good TV.  I hope if things do get better, they do it privately.

I pray that reconciliation comes to the Rodgers' family, sooner rather than later. But judging by some likes to an IG post made by a certain significant other, that reconciliation may be a bit further off

Which likes?

I think that shipped as sailed, and as mentioned many times over, there's no need to discuss it in JoJo and Jordan's thread. There are fans of Jordan and fans of his brother. We do not need to add fuel to the fire that is consistently brought out in the media. I prefer this forum stays out of that personal matter.

Does JoJo have a "real estate job" like Sean or does she work for her family's business like Corinne?
