Because of my complete lack of interest, this recap will be kept to a minimum. It's not just because I know the outcome because I've read spoilers for the past several seasons. The background of both of these guys and the lies that they are telling is just ridiculous. I just really feel bad for JoJo. I really hope in the live After the Final Rose that she admits to being wrong about these guys and tells the truth that she believes all of the truths that have been going around. I really hope she doesn't continue with her choice and pretend to stick up for him...only to a couple of months later finally break it off.
So here we go...it's going to be a long 3 hours...
News Flash: JoJo is in love with both guys. Her parents are here to help her. Spoiler Alert: they will love them both and will be absolutely no help whatsoever. Alright, so which guy will cause JoJo's mom to grab the wine bottle and take a swig?
Jordan:
- He brought ridiculously ugly hats for her parents.
- JoJo's mom is skeptical that he is a playboy (she would be right).
- He gave his word that he would not break JoJo's heart.
- JoJo's mom thinks JoJo and Jordan are too similar, but she likes him, because "who doesn't like Jordan?" (well, his ex and some girls he's talked to on the dating app Raya, to name a few...oh and his brother Aaron for another).
- He chickened out and didn't ask her dad for JoJo's hand in marriage. JoJo is pretty confident that he asked her dad because she doesn't think that he would ask her to marry him without her dad's permission.
Robby:
- Her brother told her to look at the big picture and she's not looking for a New Year's Eve date (in response to her saying that with Jordan everything is more fun and free).
- Her mom told Robby that she grew up a princess and he needs to make her the queen of his heart.
- Robby wanted to ask JoJo's dad for permission to marry her, and he also wanted her mom to be there when he asked. Of course, he referred to her by her name, Joelle, again...still the only one to do that (and I think he said her name like 3 times in this one conversation. He was very convincing and said ALL the right things about his commitment to "Joelle". I want to believe that he's a good guy, but everything that I've heard about him is pretty much the opposite.
- JoJo's dad was very emotional after his talk with Robby. She loves him even more after seeing how much her family loved him.
Summary of the 2 visits:
- Robby is family-oriented and is more husband-material.
- Robby is a more logical fit because of her insecurities.
- Jordan is "phenomenal" but Robby is ready for commitment.
- They tell JoJo that Robby asked to marry her but Jordan didn't ask her dad for his blessing. JoJo was shocked and very worried.
- Her brother thinks she feels like she has to protect Jordan and stand up for him because ultimately he's the one she thinks.
- JoJo's dad said they like them both and would be ready to have either of them into their family.
- She worries if she picks Jordan and it doesn't work out, she will wonder if Robby was the one she should have picked, and vice versa.
- She has no idea how she is going to make the decision between them because she is very torn.
- She got kind of upset with her family when she said the family is obviously picking Robby. They backpedal and say they like them both, but it was clear that they had WAY more positive things to say about Robby and how convincing he was about what he wanted.
Final Date Robby:
- Robby paints a picture of what their life together would be: kids, a dog, burnt food in the oven.
- JoJo said it's scary how much she trusts him (which is a far cry from where she was a few dates ago).
- His gift to her was printed photos of some of their most memorable moments.
- She sees a life with him and is excited for the future.
- Robby doesn't see how this can't work. He is also worried that maybe he is blinded by love and won't see it coming if she doesn't pick him.
Final Date Jordan:
- She asked him what it was like talking to her dad. He said it was awkward but he shared his true feelings and intentions. He said he wanted to ask if he could get on one knee but he couldn't. He imagined what that conversation was going to be like when he was young. She said she was disappointed he didn't ask and was bummed because he had told her how important that conversation was for him. She said it made her doubt if he is actually ready. He felt like he doesn't know 100% how she feels and he didn't feel comfortable because they hadn't met Robby yet. He doesn't know if it's him or Robby. When he knows that's what she wants then he can ask. She is so confused and I would be too, he is making no sense. She wonders if he will propose at the end of this because he doesn't really have her parents' blessing. He said if it was up to him, he would be down on one knee.
- He whines and tries to convince her that he is serious about this. She's upset and confused. He said he has no doubts about what he feels for her and he knows what he wants.
- He regrets not asking her dad for his blessing.
Jordan Calls JoJo's Parents
He wanted to make sure they knew his feelings and he officially asked her parents for their blessing. They said "yes".
The Guys Both Pick Our Rings
JoJo Has a Moment of Clarity
She is sure knows what to do and is sure that nothing will change her mind. Then she gets a letter from Jordan...saying all of the perfect things. He told her that he called her parents and he can't wait to see her walking towards her. She bursts into tears and says she doesn't feel right. But then she said that was exactly what she needed to hear.
Then, she gets a letter from Robby, pretty much saying the exact same things.
Guess what. She's confused again and she's having a panic attack.
The guys are both sure that they are the one she is picking and can't see how she can have the same thing with anyone else.
Final Rose Ceremony
Robby
- He has found his forever love with her. His family adores her and his future longs for her. He undoubtedly and is whole-heartedly in love with her. It's a love that's only found in fairytales and he will love her forever and keep her safe. She's his best friend...
- "Robby, wait, hold on. I can't let you get down on one knee. I can't take that moment from you." She said she woke up this morning and she wanted it to be him. Every day she wanted it to be him. She said she fell in love with him, but for some reason, her heart is somewhere else. Thank you, JoJo, for stopping him before he got down on one knee! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
- He wondered what was missing. She doesn't doubt how much he loves her and she wanted it to be him so badly. He said he just wanted her to be happy. She doesn't know how to say goodbye to him.
- She is following her heart and she is hoping that she is not making a huge mistake. He said "Good luck. Don't settle."
- Tears and sobs everywhere for both of them. She felt like he deserved to know that she loved him and how her heart is broken. I can't believe she sort of did the same thing that Ben did to her. How ironic.
- She can't believe that she chose to say goodbye to him, and the only thing getting her through is the thought of seeing Jordan.
Jordan
- She is bawling and sobbing over Robby. Then seconds later, she says she can't wait to spend the rest of her life with Jordan, and she is so ready to say "yes" to him. "So ready!" Wow, that was a quick recovery.
- I sure wish I could believe the amazing things he is telling her. He is so unbelievably in love with her and he will keep her safe. She is his best friend...um...did he still his speech from Robby?
- She stopped him and she said she has been waiting for so long to tell him that she loves him. She wanted him to know that before he got down on one knee.
- "Is this happening?' Ooh, he used her full name: Joelle Hannah Fletcher
- Oh, they look so happy. I will be shocked if they look this happy on After the Final Rose. You can't tell me that she has not heard over and over again how he has cheated on her, how he still has an active dating app, how he cheated on his past girlfriend...on and on and on...we shall see...
After the Final Rose
Robby is still confused and disappointed by what happened. He said the things JoJo said to him when she sent him home all sounded like reasons why he should be the one she picked. Her only words that she could say to help him now was to say that she couldn't imagine saying goodbye to Jordan and in her heart, her heart was always with Jordan. She added that she thought they were missing some of the friendship and again how similar they were to each other. She found everything she wanted in Jordan. She said she is so happy right now, and because he cares for her so much and is good friends with Jordan, that's all he needed to be content.
Next Bachelor? JoJo brings up Luke and Chase. Chad decides to stand up in the audience and campaign for it to be him. Ha! That would be a trainwreck that I would actually like to see! The show is getting so fake and produced that, hey, why not make a mockery of the whole thing!
Jordan and the rumors: JoJo says she knows the truth and it's hard to hear the rumors and things said about him. So apparently the show wants to save some face, and/or JoJo doesn't want to be embarrassed, so she's going to go with the whole "I'm so happy and excited" story. Guarantee in a couple months, they will be going separate ways. I don't think she will ever say anything bad about him, that just doesn't seem like something she would do.
Jordan said their relationship is doing great. They have grown through the difficult conversations. JoJo said it has been difficult, but they respect each other and he has been very honest with her. I will say that they are being pretty convincing and are very touchy-feely.
They talked about the tabloids and how they have dealt with them. Neither one of them understood why it was happening. She finally decided she can't read it anymore because he's given her no reason to doubt him.
Jordan said the next move is for him to move to Dallas with her. Wow.
Chris asks about Jordan's brother, Aaron and if things have changed. He completely avoided the issue and said he and his family are focused on them right now. Totally didn't address the issue at all. I know it is none of any of our business, but man, I really want to know the whole story!
