5. She has a funny bone. In her Bachelor biography, JoJo admitted that her all-time favorite movies are Wedding Crashers, Clueless and Patch Adams .
6. The Bachelorette is no Wolfgang Puck. JoJo confessed that she is an “average” cook. However she added, “I can kill a quesadilla though.”

8. The Bachelorette’s leading lady has a unique, special talent. She admitted, “I can make a 3-leaf clover with my tongue.”
9. JoJo is not an avid reader. She confessed, “To be honest I don’t read a ton of books. I more read articles.” Though the ABC star added, “But the types of books I do like are self-help & empowering ones.”
