JoJo Fletcher: Bachelorette Behind-the-Scenes Photos Posted on Twitter!

For the first time ever, we"re being treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the next season of The Bachelorette – and its gorgeous star JoJo Fletcher.

All courtesy of the executive producer himself.

Mike Fleiss has been lighting up Twitter hyping up the new season, and clearly it"s working. For us. Will the process work for Fletcher?

“JoJo just told me that her biggest fear is being rejected again and ending up alone. But most of the guys seem to be falling for her."

Not surprising, given who we"re talking about.

Filming is still underway, with eight guys left, so if you"re seeking The Bachelorette spoilers to tell you who wins … slow your roll.

We can tell you that Aaron Rodgers" brother, Jordan Rodgers, will be one of the dudes vying for JoJo"s heart. Juan Pablo? Not so much.

For her part, JoJo tells Mike that she “sees marriage material in 6 or 7 of the guys," so it looks like Mike & Co. did a great casting job.

No wonder Lauren Bushnell wants to trade lives.

We kid – mostly – although there have been tabloid reports suggesting exactly that since Ben Higgins rejected JoJo in favor of Lauren.

In any case, what"s done is done, and his loss is our gain. Check out these behind the scenes shots and more JoJo Fletcher photos!

1. JoJo Fletcher: Lady in Red

JoJo Fletcher looking ravishing in red. The signature color for The Bachelorette, one might say, and perfect for the woman of the hour doling out the roses.

2. Jo Jo Fletcher: Life’s a Beach

Life is just beachin’ when you’re The Bachelorette. Or you look like this. If both are the case … you pretty much have it made in the shade. Or sunlight as the case may be.

3. JoJo Fletcher: No Baggage Here!

Suitcases in the literal sense of baggage, check. Unwanted advances from exes or other lasting emotional hangups from previous relationships? She’s (mostly) free and clear of that as far as we know.

4. JoJo Fletcher: Breathtaking Beauty

The Bachelorette star JoJo Fletcher stares into the distance in a breathtaking photo posted by none other than executive producer Mike Fleiss. Dude knows how to hype his own show. Another dozen pictures like this and ratings will shoot through the roof.

5. JoJo Fletcher: The Girl Next Door

There’s something about her. Whatever “it” is, she’s got it. She’s got a certain girl next door charm, JoJo Fletcher does. Those 25 guys are going to be fighting tooth and nail.

6. JoJo Fletcher: Chairwoman of the Board

The Bachelorette will see you now. JoJo Fletcher may have had her heart broken by Ben Higgins, but she’s in the boss’ chair now. So to speak.

Lauren Bushnell to Jojo Fletcher: Wanna Trade Lives?

Being engaged is fine and all, but having a bunch of dudes fighting for camera time your affection is so much better.

This is reportedly how Lauren Bushnell feels about runner-up Jojo Fletcher being the new Bachelorette.

“It’s definitely weird that the Bachelor winner is jealous of the runner-up, but she is,” a source told Life & Style.

“JoJo is having the time of her life filming The Bachelorette, and Lauren’s just a girl with a fiancé. They’re [she and Ben Higgins] out of the honeymoon phase.”

SNOOOOOOOOZE.

Bushnell, the source says, wants gentlemen callers “fawning” all over her.  Instead, she feels like a basic bitch “stuck” in Denver with her basic fiance.

“JoJo’s running around the world meeting amazing guys” while Bushnell is “sitting on the couch ordering Chinese takeout,” the source said.

Both scenarios sound like a dream, if I’m being totally honest.

Bushnell is also grappling with the fact that Higgins was, at one point, in love with two women simultaneously.

“She’s no longer excited for the wedding because she thinks friends and family are still whispering about Ben being in love with JoJo,” the source added.

“It’s ruining the marriage process for her.”

Did anyone explain to Bushnell the premise of The Bachelor before she applied?

JoJo Fletcher: Cheating on Ben Higgins with Chad Rookstool?!

Joelle “JoJo” Fletcher may be the next Bachelorette, but according to Chad Rookstool, the Texas beauty may be hiding a pretty big secret:

Him.

While the season premiere is still two months away, it’s never too early for The Bachelorette spoilers of sorts … or at least juicy rumors.

Fans may recall that before ABC named JoJo Fletcher The Bachelorette, she dropped bombshell on Ben Higgins during The Bachelor.

When she showed Ben a letter from her ex, that threatened to torpedo their fledgling romance even more than her brothers’ scrutiny.

Now, that ax himself, Chad Rookstool, has upped the ante, telling tabloids that JoJo got back together with him after filming concluded …

… then dumped him to be on The Bachelorette!

The Dallas, Tex., resident says that he dated JoJo for two years before they split in June of last year, just before she went on The Bachelor.

But were they even broken up for real?

“As soon as she got home,” Rookstool tells In Touch Weekly, “we started hanging out every single day and being intimate again.”

“We were sneaking around the whole time The Bachelor was airing,” he adds, “because she wasn’t allowed to be seen with me.”

Rookstool continued to the magazine:

“When she got home, she kept telling me she loved me and that we should have stayed together and fought through our issues.”

“She said we would’ve been married by now, and I agreed with her. She told me there were many nights she’d cry thinking about me.”

Chad, who owns a hair salon, said his gorgeous girlfriend would openly “question whether she made the right decision by being there.”

Moreover, he alleges that JoJo was never in love with Ben and just got “sucked up” in the insanity of the long-running ABC reality show:

“JoJo told me, ‘Chad, come on, you know it’s TV.’ I think she just got sucked up in the show rather than actually trying to have legit feelings.”

Fletcher, 25, “thought the show would help branch out her career. She said it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Rookstool alleges.

He said their relationship ended for a second time when ABC dumped Caila Quinn for JoJo and she became 2016’s The Bachelorette.

And tried to have it both ways, he claims.

“JoJo said, ‘I don’t know if I’m the next Bachelorette, but let’s just have a conversation as if I am,’” he said, but he wasn’t having it.

“She tried to tell me she wasn’t saying goodbye forever … but I told her that I’m not going to sit around and wait for her [this time].” 

“And that was it.”

Cold.

JoJo Fletcher: I Do NOT Talk to Ben Higgins Anymore!

If you watch The Bachelor, you know this season"s big story was that Ben Higgins fell in love with two women – Lauren Bushnell and JoJo Fletcher – but ultimately chose the former because the rules say he can only pick one and this isn"t Sister Wives.

As you may recall, just before the final rose ceremony, Ben grappled with how he could possibly say goodbye to this amazing woman forever when he loves her so much?

Well, he did, and it seems JoJo, who is now The Bachelorette, is okay with it.

"Ben and I don’t communicate," she revealed in an interview with Good Morning America. "I kind of have my relationship with Lauren, which is my first priority.”

That sounds like an incredibly PC answer. Ben loves two, picks one, and the ladies remain besties! Yay!

If this is the case, it"s super mature and we applaud them. It would deffo be awkward as hell if JoJo and Ben still texted and stuff, right?

But she doesn"t really need to, because she"s got a gaggle of gents pursuing her as we speak. The Texas native is in the middle of filming The Bachelorette, and she"s already got the feels for some of her suitors!

"I am connecting with these guys, I"m having fun with them," she said. "I"m actually feeling feelings, which I didn"t expect so early on."

The show"s creator, Mike Fleiss, has been giving us the skinny on JoJo"s relationships via Twitter. 

Fleiss tweeted that the current kiss count is up to 4.5 (what happened to the other .5?), that two of the guys "nearly came to blows" and that crew members agree that this is "one of the hottest casts" they"ve ever seen.

Don"t they say that every year?

With such a smokin" hot cast, JoJo remains optimistic.

"I want to be engaged, I want marriage, I want a family," she explains. "I feel like this could happen right now!"

We hope it works out for JoJo, she seems like a sweet lady. Even Kaley Cuoco thinks so.

Watch JoJo"s interview below:

Caila Quinn: The REAL Reason She Was Dumped for JoJo Fletcher as the Next Bachelorette

Last week, it was a foregone conclusion that Caila Quinn, this season’s third runner-up on The Bachelor, would be selected to star next season as The Bachelorette.

But during The Bachelor season finale on Monday, host Chris Harrison dropped this bomb:

The next Bachelorette will NOT be Caila, but JoJo Fletcher.

The audience was shocked. It had just made sense that Caila would be The Bachelorette. 

After all, the show has a history of choosing the third runner-up, plus Caila’s Filipina heritage would help the franchise address attacks that the show wasn’t diverse enough. 

In fact, it seemed Caila had already secured the gig as she was seen filming her intro package for the show in her home town of Hudson, Ohio earlier this month.

Apparently, the show’s producers had a change of heart at the last minute and ultimately went with JoJo, the one bachelor Ben Higgins loved, as it were, only second most.

“It was nothing against Caila, but JoJo’s storyline was just so compelling,” a source told E! News.

“After seeing how she fell in love with Ben and then had her heart broken, there was no doubt that everyone’s going to be rooting for her as Bachelorette.”

While fans initially believed Caila was pissed at being passed up for the job (couldn’t blame her), the source insisted that she had no hard feelings.

Caila even Instagrammed this photo of herself with JoJo and Lauren Bushnell, this year’s winner:

“Congratulations to these beautiful girls!” she wrote in the caption. “From dancing in our pjs in the Mansion to Mexico City mimosas, can’t help but smile at all of the fun memories. Sending love as the journey isn’t over, it’s only just beginning.”

Classy.

We’re not sure exactly what’s ahead for Caila, but she is is reportedly planning a move to New York City.

Since the Big Apple is notoriously the hardest place to find love on the planet, we assume she’ll be focusing on her career.

JoJo Fletcher: The Hottest Bachelorette EVER?!

JoJo Fletcher, who was named The Bachelorette for the ABC show"s 2016 season in a late-breaking twist, is certainly worthy of the role.

Need convincing? Enjoy the photo gallery below, which we"ve put together using shots from JoJo"s Instagram and time on The Bachelor.

The 25-year-old real estate developer from Texas is, to put it mildly, a catch. Ben Higgins just fell in love with someone a little bit more.

His loss is now someone"s potential gain – as well as hers – now that ABC named JoJo Fletcher The Bachelorette on Monday night.

Would-be Bachelorette Caila Quinn was pissed, but she"s probably the only one. Check these pics of Joelle (her real name) and tell us:

Is she the most awesome Bachelorette choice to date?

Caila Quinn: PISSED at Losing The Bachelorette Gig to Jojo Fletcher!

Caila Quinn had her heart broken a second time in one season of The Bachelor last night as ABC pulled the rug out from under her.

Having finished third on Ben Higgins’ season, she was cut loose after an overnight date, only to be tapped as The Bachelorette. Until …

Chris Harrison named JoJo Fletcher The Bachelorette in front of a live studio audience, despite Caila having previously landed the gig.

Or so we were led to believe. Was it all just a red herring? Did fans get played – and was Caila a pawn in producers’ plans to do so?

According to the Oracle of The Bachelor Spoilers, Reality Steve, the show pulled a 180 on Caila just a few days before Monday’s finale.

It looked fairly certain that the 24-year-old Caila got the job, given that a camera crew was seen filming in hometown of Hudson, Ohio.

Given her multi-racial heritage, and the fact that The Bachelorette role usually does not go to the runner-up, but another top-four finisher?

Us Weekly, TMZ and other media outlets ran with the story that the half-Filipino beauty would be handing out roses this May on ABC.

Not so fast, it turned out. Just two weeks after viewers saw her get her dumped by Ben Higgins, the show dispatched Caila once more.

Producers apparently had a change of heart about who would start filming earlier this month, which means in the past two weeks tops.

Caila Quinn reportedly found out on Thursday that she wouldn’t be getting her own “journey” to find love, and she is “not happy” whatsoever.

According to Steve, much of her disappointment is based on missing out on a “huge opportunity to build her brand,” for what it’s worth.

As for Jojo, she’s the first woman who made the top two on The Bachelor to be named The Bachelorette since Emily Maynard in 2012.

Emily, of course, won the final rose that year, but was tapped as The Bachelorette after ending her brief engagement to Brad Womack.

Prior to that, you have to go back to DeAnna Pappas in 2008, when she was dispatched on the finale by … Brad, who picked no one.

Everyone else since then has been a top three or four finisher, so the 11th hour Jojo Fletcher pick caught a lot of people by surprise. 

Think ABC made the right call? Discuss!

JoJo Fletcher is the Next Bachelorette!

SPOILER ALERT: Stop reading right this instant if you do not yet know the results of Monday night’s Bachelor finale.

On an emotional roller coaster of a concluding episode, Ben Higgins broke the heart of JoJo Fletcher, shattering her hopes and dreams by sending her home and later proposing to Lauren Bushnell.

But less than an hour after the finale aired, Fletcher was officially awarded a pretty sweet consolation prize:

She will be this year’s Bachelorette!!!!!

Chris Harrison made the announcement on the network’s After the Final Rose ceremony, with Fletcher standing on stage and receiving a raucous ovation at the time.

There had been talk that third-place finisher Caila Quinn had been named The Bachelorette, but Us Weekly claims she was too “polarizing” of a choice and ABC switched to Fletcher after making its initial selection.

Fletcher is a 25-year-old real estate developer from Dallas, Texas. Her mother is Persian, which would typically be a random, inconsequential detail.

But ABC has come under fire for never having a non-white lead on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette.

Earlier this year, network President Paul Lee told reporters that he’d be “very surprised” if The Bachelorette was not a “diverse” woman.

Does Fletcher count as diverse, simply due to her mother’s heritage?

Do you care? Should it matter?

Will you watch The Bachelorette online this summer with JoJo at the show’s center?

Or is it too soon to ask any of these questions because you are still recovering from her getting dumped by Higgins last night? She’ll be okay, we think.

Lauren Bushnell: Dumped By Ben Higgins For JoJo Fletcher?!

The Bachelor Season 20 is coming down the home stretch and Ben Higgins is down to his final four after Monday night’s double elimination.

While The Bachelor spoilers have hinted at a fairly cut and dried ending to the 2016 campaign from the start, is an epic twist in the works?

If you watch The Bachelor online, you know where we stand:

Amanda Stanton, Caila Quinn, Jojo Fletcher (above), and Lauren Bushnell (below) are the only four women out of 25 still in the hunt.

Sorry Becca Tilley. For the second straight year.

WARNING: It should go without saying, but The Bachelor spoilers await below, including who Ben Higgins picks (or allegedly picks).

So read on at your own risk. We good? Good …

According to Reality Steve, the show’s unofficial soothsayer – the Oracle of Bachelor Spoilers if you will – Amanda is the next one out.

Her hometown date didn’t get it done, apparently.

Then Ben sends Caila home from overnight dates in Jamaica, leaving Higgins to choose between JoJo Fletcher and Lauren Bushnell.

From the get-go, Lauren has been the favorite (some rumors even implied that Ben made up his mind before filming ended) this year.

Is there more to it, though? Read on …

However, recent speculation has centered around Ben’s unresolved feelings for JoJo Fletcher, and whether that might doom his engagement.

Sure, the “I’m in love with two women” trope is done to death every year to build suspense, but in this case, is there something to it?

Talk of Ben Higgins pulling a Jason Mesnick and dropping Lauren Bushnell after she wins the final rose has us intrigued, we can’t lie.

That gossip may be completely bogus, but other accounts suggest it went down to the wire for Ben, and that alone has rankled Lauren.

Lauren had no idea how close she was to almost not receiving a ring, believing Ben was just going through the motions all along in 2016.

In truth, was he a lot more conflicted than he let on?

Well, one insider says this has given way to real feelings of jealousy toward Ben and JoJo Fletcher, leaving the couple on the rocks.

Might Higgins end up with Fletcher in the end?

Until that happens or we hear The Bachelor spoilers from Steve himself, we aren’t going to go that far. But it does make you wonder …
