JoJo Fletcher was warned about an unflattering and unseen side to Jordan Rodgers' personality by James Taylor, but after watching Monday night's The Bachelorette episode, she doesn't think it was a big deal.

However, Taylor was also shown venting to the cameras about how he felt he couldn't stack up against the competition considering the other guys are so good looking, cool and smart.
"James. I adore James! Watching this all back made me so emotional because I never knew James struggled with his confidence being around the other guys. I wish he could see himself through my eyes," Fletcher wrote in her People blog.
The Bachelorette star is therefore questioning whether Taylor's concern came from a truly honest place or one of jealousy.
"During my one-on-one time with James, he brought up some issues with Jordan. Looking back, I wonder if that was guided solely by fact or was this possibly his insecurities acting out?" Fletcher said. "Either way, I needed to address the situation with Jordan."
Rodgers was shocked his best friend in the house would call him out like that, especially over something as seemingly insignificant as the rules of a poker game. Rodgers argued that he's not entitled at all and certainly doesn't view himself as being better than anyone else in the running for Fletcher's heart.
"This wasn't the first tough conversation I'd had with Jordan. My feelings for Jordan were really starting to grow, however I had my reservations. After talking through the scenario (which by the way was about a silly poker game ... men!), Jordan reassured me of his intentions yet again, and how the scenario played out," Fletcher explained.
"I felt a little bad spending so much of my time with Jordan talking about these things, but I also knew what I needed to do in order to understand the entirety of the situation and make the right decisions moving forward."
Despite a few tough conversations, Fletcher admitted her night overall was great.
"I started to realize that this was becoming very real for all of us. One thing that I have learned throughout my experience on this journey is that you have to trust your gut and live in the moment," Fletcher said.
Fletcher's gut told her to eliminate Wells Adams and Derek Peth. She also decided to keep both Taylor and Alex Woytkiw when only one rose remained at the first Rose Ceremony in Buenos Aires.
