‘The Bachelorette’ Finale Recap: Blessing in Disguise

We made it, rose lovers! JoJo’s “journey” is at an end, she’s made her choice, some of us may have thrown something at the TV — but however you feel about it, one thing is for sure: JoJo sure is a pretty crier. “When I’m with Robby, I think of Jordan — and when I’m with Jordan, in the back of my head I think of Robby.” You know what that means, honey — family tie-breaker! Yes, the moment we’ve all be waiting for is here: The return of JoJo’s hero mom and overprotective brothers! (Oh, her dad and sister Rachel are there too.) “I think I love both of them!” JoJo tells her assembled clan. JoJo tells her family about her “banter” with Jordan — “I’ll make fun of him, he’ll make fun of me” — which immediately makes me think of the “Jolly Jugular Jabbers” from that Life in Hell cartoon, but it doesn’t set off any red flags with the Fletchers. At first blush, Jordan “came across as really genuine,” says Soraya, “and that he really cares for JoJo.” Indeed, Jordan does seem to be charming the family, especially when he breaks the ice by distributing funny hats to everyone at the table.
