I haven't checked reality Steve, but here's my prediction.
JoJo goes home next. I agree he didn't seem as invested on her hometown date.
Caila is the the next Bachelorette.
Lauren B. Wins. Boooooring.
How come no one is talking about JoJo's mother's plastic surgery? Or the fact that she drank straight from a champagne bottle? Sweet lady, but OMG! At first I was turned off by her brothers, but then I thought about it and it was refreshing to not see people buy into the reality tv fairytale that so obviously isn't reality!

@winniebee: OMG the mother and the champagne bottle lol awesome. I think your predictions are pretty spot on. can't say I love Cailia for new bachelorette, she seems a bit boring.
Is it just me or is this season going really fast?!

@winniebee: Oh yes! I totally caught both of those! I laughed so much. They totally could have cut that clip but obviously chose not to!

@T.H.O.U.: I think a LOT of alcohol has to be consumed on hometown dates to make it tolerable for all. HA!

Only one of JoJo's brothers was previously on a reality show and later dated a Bachelor/Married at First Sight contestant. Her mom drinking out of the bottle had me rolling.
I feel it's long been obvious that Ben picks Lauren. There doesn't even seem to be comparable chemistry/interest in the others.

@winniebee: Yes! And I noticed most of the "dinners" were taking place around 9-10 pm!

The champaign bottle killed me! And her face + the sad "oh" when Jojo mentioned that she's struggling because there are still 3 other girls involved... So surprised, like do you understand how the show works at all?!
Despite it being boring, I hope Lauren wins! I like them together. I don't know that Caila is feeling it as much!

@T.H.O.U.: the other weird thing is that they all had super heavy drapes in their homes (some un-ironed, ehem, Caila) -- I'm assuming to block out nosy neighbors??
@deerylou: I didn't know he was on a reality show! I just also found out that Carly (from Chris's season) brother is Zak, from Desiree's season. LOL

Does anyone listen to Channel 33 podcast a/k/a Bachelor Party? Sooo awesome. LOL.

@winniebee: omg this is a great episode! Love the criticism!

@winniebee: it was on glamour today. I totally caught it during the show...the dad is trying to stop her! So awkward.

@T.H.O.U.: "here to make friends" is also a good one!

@Mrs Green Grass: jojo looks so much like her dad I just can't get over it. Now I just see him when I see her!

Also another thought, on the JoJo home date, why did Ben get ambushed in the kitchen (for what seemed like forever) without her there? All the other dates are structured, meet the family, he talks to a parent, she talks to a parent, switch and done. Where was Jojo during that entire convo and why didn't she step in to rescue him?

@T.H.O.U.: I am wondering if she was speaking to her sister who WAS NEVER SHOWN!

@T.H.O.U.: haha I wondered the same thing. And also thought about the sister who was shown for like 20 seconds. So weird.

@winniebee I love Channel33! and what used to be Grantland (RIP ) I think Juliet Litman is hilariously passionate and I'm obsessed with Bill Simmons so I'm so glad he brought her over to Bill Simmons World.

Yay, I'm so happy that JoJo stayed!
Pretty sure I'll be bawling at the final episode.

My husband watched with me and my girlfriend last night (last week's episode). His commentary after Ben tells JoJo he loves her (after telling Lauren B the same) - "what a donkey!!!"
LOL.
I need to comment on Lauren B.'s outfits last episode. WHAT was she thinking? The jean shorts were so far up her crotch she had to waddle around. And then those two dresses....just NOT flattering.
I'm a JoJo fan. My husband thinks she has a touch of crazy. I think he'll pick Lauren B., who does seem like a good match for him.
wonderful clementine / 24134 posts
@winniebee: I really think he really is in love with one of them and after he let it slip, he also told the other one so that there would still be drama.
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
@T.H.O.U.: Yeah I think that the producers were like....well....you slipped up and better fix this somehow! I think he's in love with Lauren B and that JoJo is getting the boot.

I am excited about Jojo being the bachelorette!! I was pretty surprised they ended up going with the runner up!
pomegranate / 3973 posts
@Bao: I was sooo sad that it wasn't JoJo, especially after how the dates ended, I thought for sure it was her!
But I am super happy that she is the next bachelorette!

I preferred Lauren from the beginning but I think JoJo will be a good bachelorette!

@lilyann: I don't think they've ever gone with the runner up have they?
I think JoJo will have a good show, her family might be super entertaining

@Mrs. Pickles: I don't know if they gave for Bachelorette, but Ben F. was Ashley H's runner up. (Remember how she let him get all the way to down on one knee before cutting him loose? Awful.)
I thought the finale was both tense and boring. I watch with friends and my sister, so we had a great time, but I called both winner and Bachelorette and then just watched them hem and haw and cry a lot to get there. Still, Lauren and Ben seemed far more natural together on AFR than Whitney and Chris last year! I hope they make it. And I hope we get to see more of Jojo's champagne-swilling mom
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
I liked Ben less and less as the season went on. That last conversation he had with Jojo in the bathroom - man, I just really felt for her and felt like he was a total D-Bag in letting her go to the final rose ceremony. I figured he would pick Lauren all along, but I still felt so bad for Jojo in the end.
And then....they announce she's the new Bachelorette. In his face. During *his* moment. I thought it was awesome haha! He had no idea it was coming and he clearly was a little annoyed by it. Good for her. She'll be a great Bachelorette - she actually has some substance to her. And she's so pretty I'm guessing the guys will be hot : )

@rattles: Yes! Seeing her mom and brothers will be amazing!
