Joyful JoJo the Bachelorette - Week 7 POWER RANKINGS

And just like that, we are down to our Final Four. Four guys will enter vying for JoJo's heart, one will come out engaged to JoJo (and likely un-engaged to her a few months later).

We're back to the competition this week after saying goodbye to Alex and James Taylor last week and MIRACLES DO EXIST. Barring a total meltdown in the forthcoming rankings, it looks like I might finally take the crown from Chase and Power Rankings champion.

Just a totally normal first date taking a nap on a horse.

In case you are new or need a refresher, here are the rules of the competition in a separate and comprehensive blog post.

Even though we didn't do competitive rankings last week, it's time to tally up the TINDER POWER 5 and DEEP DIVE POWER 5 scores. The actual Top 5 guys this season (in no particular order) were Jordan, Chase, Luke, Robby and James Taylor. 

That means Chase gets an additional 6 points (Chase and Luke in the TINDER POWER 5 for 4 points + Chase and Jordan in the DEEP DIVE POWER 5 for 2 points) and Josh gets an additional 6 points (Chase and James Taylor in the TINDER POWER 5 for 4 points and Luke and Jordan in the DEEP DIVE POWER 5 for 2 points).

Here's the updated score after adding those points:

Chase: 109
Josh: 116

WEEK 7 POWER RANKINGS

1. Jordan - Let’s face it, guys. JoJo is going to pick Jordan. I don’t like it. You don’t like it. Heck, JoJo doesn’t even like it. Just because we don’t like it, doesn’t mean it wont happen. I don’t even know where to start with Jordan. His hometown visit should be amazing, despite not having Aaron Rodgers around. I’m really hoping we hear more about how Jordan played professional football. TLDR: He’s saying all the right things, but I just don’t think he’s there for the right reasons. 
2. Luke - Let’s face it guys, JoJo is NOT going to pick Luke. Despite the fact that SHE SHOULD TOTALLY PICK LUKE. Luke is a good guy, they have the Texas connection (great things are found in Texas these days, you know). Anyway. I think Luke is angling himself well to be next season’s Bachelor. Also, be on the lookout for a potential shameless Star Wars cross-promotion this week: “I am Luke’s Father.”  Here’s hoping his family is entertaining. If we’re going to see him again at The Bachelor, let’s at least make it good. 
3. Chase - I really want to see Chase win it all. I really do. I mean, his name is the greatest ever. But I think this is a 2-way competition at this point. He isn’t getting any time on the screen (There are literally 4-guys left. How is he not getting any air time??). Chase has made a good run and he’ll be around another week, but he wont be in the final 2. No chance. 
4. Robby - I don’t care who you are: If you’re coming out of a long-term relationship (3+ years?) and you’re dating someone (or on a reality TV show?) four months later...you need to ask yourself some serious questions. Hometowns are going to be dramatic for Robby and not in a good way.

1. Jordan - Jordan is playing things perfectly. He’s deflecting the negativity (most of it unwarranted) and saying the right things at the right time. He faces another hurdle this week when JoJo learns more about BIG BROTHER AARON RODGERS QUARTERBACK OF THE GREEN BAY PACKERS AND 2010 NFL MVP and the effect that’s had on Jordan. But if he can get past this, he’s well on his way to a touchdown (in the Fantasy Suite) and a Super Bowl victory (getting that ring…to put on JoJo’s finger).
2. Luke - Expect him to play up the Texas charm when he brings JoJo home tonight. But ultimately, this goofy looking guy from The Lone Star State will be playing second fiddle to Jordan, ultimately finishing in second place.
3. Chase - I was really shocked he outlasted James Taylor. Chase pretty consistently looks as excited as a kid in calculus class. It’s remarkable, really. The only reason he is sticking around after this week is because it looks like Robby is shadier than a big patch of grass under an oak tree on a sunny day. I am looking forward to seeing just how it is that they are able to fill 30 minutes of time in Chase’s hometown. Maybe his family has some personality?
4. Robby - I AM VINDICATED. The ex-girlfriend twist is coming TONIGHT. Robby is sunk. (Get it? He’s a former swimmer.)

Joyful JoJo the Bachelorette - Week 6 POWER RANKINGS

Another week, another set of Power Rankings. Chase recently tied the knot (yay Chase!) so he is out of pocket for this week. So we’ll take a break from the competition and instead, I’ll give you my rankings here just for fun.

Two weeks ago, we said goodbye to 2 guys during a droning 2 hour episode – Derek and Wells. 

Goodbye, Jim Halpert.

In case you are new or need a refresher, here are the rules of the competition in a separate and comprehensive blog post.

And here is the updated score after the episode from two weeks ago:

Chase: 103
Josh: 110

WEEK 6 POWER RANKINGS (FROM JOSH)

1. *Jordan – I’m calling it here. The “Jordan is a villain because he likes to play poker by the actual rules of poker” thing is a total red herring. Don’t buy into it. Jordan has maintained his cool throughout it all. And as such, he’s still my winner pick. 
2. *Luke – I. Do. Not. Get. It. Luke seems like such a dud. Objectively, of the remaining guys, he doesn’t even crack the top half of hotness. And yet JoJo is head over heels in lust with him. That kiss they shared in the last episode lasted 100% too long. And in my opinion, he’s lasted 100% too long. Booooooooo, Luke.  
3. **Chase – I am shocked he outlasted Derek in the 2-on-1 date. SHOCKED. HE OUTLASTED JIM HALPERT. He always looks so aloof when he talks. What is going on behind those zombie eyes and that monotonous voice of his? We may never know. But since he survived the dreaded 2-on-1 last week, I can’t imagine he goes home this week. 
4. Robby – Okay. I’ve had Robby low for weeks because I am positive the season preview after Episode 1 teased that he had a girlfriend. With 6 guys left, I have a hard time believing that I actually heard this right? DID I? AM I GOING CRAZY? WHY DID I DELETE THAT EPISODE FROM MY DVR? Anyway, keeping him this low since personally I find him super meh. 
5. **James Taylor – My how the mighty have fallen. It looked momentarily like James Taylor was going home last week. Instead he got what amounted to a pity rose from JoJo. Dude is like Samson. When he loses his hair (his guitar), his strength (confidence) falters. GET IT TOGETHER JAMES TAYLOR. SO HELP ME IF ALEX GOES FURTHER THAN YOU. 
6. Alex – WHY IS HE STILL HERE? His chances of winning? Small (PUN INTENDED).
