JoJo's Season Finale: This Blog Is Now On Brazilian Time

Hello from the other side of the equator! Your trusty commissioners have not been so trusty this week and for that we apologize. In case you're completely out of the loop, Julie and I are in Rio de Janeiro working for Team USA during the Olympics. We arrived on Saturday and have been busy Brazilian bees ever since.

Here's what's happening in our neck of the woods.

We just watched the episode and to be honest we were pretty underwhelmed.

JoJo's mom appears to have had some restorative plastic surgery during the off season. Her face seems more agile this time around.

Jordan screwed up. JoJo whined about it incessantly and made herself very unlikeable, in my opinion. Not because of the whole thing with Jordan asking her dad permission to marry her, but just the way she approached the entire ensuing argument. She straight up was not listening to a single word Jordan was saying to her and she was acting like such a brat. Jordan has decent reasoning for doing what he did but she's so paranoid that she can't even hear it when he's saying it right to her face! Ugh it made me want to turn the episode off and go back to the beach.

Robby does well with the parents but it's obvious the show is setting him up for a hard fall.

Robby takes a hard fall. He handles it well and doesn't even shed a damn tear.

Jordan wins, shocking no one. To quote himself, he "gets on a knee," as if he's in a sports huddle thing for one of his former professional teams.

That's it! JoJo and her predictable choices led us to the most anticlimactic season finale in Bachelor History. And with that, we've got another great season of The Bachelorette and Roses to Riches on the books. Points are up, so Pool Captains should check those out and distribute prizes accordingly. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! Julie and I are both available via regular cell phone communication so we can help if you need us.

Sorry again for the extreme delay. We love (and roses) you to pieces but we've got things to do down here.

Go Team USA!

Tchao,

Elizabeth and Julie
Co-Commissioners
