The Bachelorette's preview trailer suggest Jordan Rodgers will be the center of drama this season because his fellow suitors will question his motives and accuse him of being arrogant, so what does JoJo Fletcher think of all this?

Fletcher, a 25-year-old real estate developer from Dallas, TX, watched the preview that aired at the end of Monday night's debut episode, which showed the guys trashing Rodgers for being cocky, smooth and fake.
When asked how she feels about allegations Rodgers wasn't genuine and only competed on The Bachelorette for fame, Fletcher had his back and nervously played with the ring finger on her left hand.
"Jordan that first night didn't talk about his brother at all. That's not something we talked about," Fletcher told E! News, referencing Rodger's older brother Aaron Rodgers, who is a superstar NFL quarterback for the Green Bay Packers.
"But seeing that teaser, I didn't know what the guys were saying about him."

The Bachelor and The Bachelorette stars typically don't know what's going on in the mansion unless they witness the drama firsthand on a Group Date or are informed by another person they're dating.
Although it's clear that Fletcher's suitors will have a problem with Rodgers -- who received the first real kiss of the season as well as the Bachelorette's First Impression Rose -- the brunette beauty suggested it may not be Rodgers' fault.
"I also know the First Impression Rose puts a target on your back," Fletcher explained. "So, I'm sure that that's going to be a constant thing these guys are talking about."
She continued in Rodgers' defense, "You'll definitely get to see more of who he is and how he handles himself."
Fletcher additionally gushed about the chemistry she found with Rodgers on Night 1.

"Obviously he's a cutie. You know that. But that night, I was just so nervous, and I know that whole night, I was trying to make everyone else less nervous. But when I was talking to him, he somehow eased my nerves and it was comfortable and easy," Fletcher told E! News.
"And we had a moment where we kissed; I didn't expect that to happen! So, I just knew after meeting everyone that that was the strongest connection I had made... [And] I thought his hair was great."
