After letting it sink in for a while, and seeing another follow-up segment about it, I decided it’s OK with me if JR and Beth are an item.
I know they didn’t ask my permission - and I also know I will get in trouble here at FR if I express my views about JR - he is liked here. *cough* A feeling which I do not share, BTW.
Beth I could tolerate for at least a year, I believe. Then one day, I had just had it up to here and I walked away from it. Still wore my Natalee bracelet for a few months after that - and of course, I support whatever it takes to get that case solved. Ummm ... *mumble, grumble* *stifle*
Frankly, it’s a wonder Beth and Jug lasted as long as they did after Natalee’s disappearance. She is so (understandably) driven that other relationships must have suffered.
JR doesn’t affect me one way or the other except that I don’t find him attractive. He and Beth could have a bond in their losses, though.
