When asked if she’s happy with the way in which her The Bachelorette season ended, Jenn shared during the June 26 episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, “I think that the way everything played out was exactly the way that it was supposed to.”

Jenn told the podcast’s host Alex Cooper, “The ending was the right ending for me.”
Jenn insisted, “Yes, I’m happy for me because everything was the way that it was supposed to go.”
Jenn was clearly trying to avoid giving away spoilers about her season, such as whether she left the show with a partner or got engaged.
The physician assistant student, however, suggested that she didn’t predict how her season was going to end while filming.
“I don’t think I saw the ending, the way it was supposed to end, for a while,” Jenn said.
“I don’t think I saw — I don’t think that I knew how it was going to end. You go into it thinking that it’s going to be a certain way, and I really surprised myself in the end.”
The Bachelorette star reiterated that while she’s “happy,” she thinks fans will be certainly be surprised by the events surrounding the Final Rose Ceremony.
“I think people will be shocked, for sure,” Jenn teased.
But Jenn did hint that there was a clear winner in her heart.
“There were times when it got down to the wire and I didn’t know. But I did know, if I really thought about it,” Jenn shared.
Jenn had 25 bachelors to choose from on Night 1 at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Santa Susana, CA — not at the usual Bachelor mansion in Malibu — when the show began filming in late March, and production wrapped in May.

Viewers will be able to watch Jenn’s journey to find love unfold when The Bachelorette’s 21st season premieres Monday, July 8 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
“I’m honestly really excited for everyone to just see it,” Jenn gushed on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.
Jenn acknowledged how people already have “a lot of opinions” about her season — many of which are negative — but she knows “how amazing it’s going to be.”
Jenn shared, “I know what a dream it was for me, and I’m so excited!”
When asked to share the “opinions” she’s heard about her The Bachelorette season, Jenn admitted, “A lot of people wanted somebody else [to be the star], or they’re wishing that I was American… There’s just a lot of people who want to have input on it.”
Jenn added, “You just can’t win. There are people who are like, ‘She’s too crazy,’ or, ‘She’s too boring,’ or, ‘She wants to take shots.’ God forbid I want to take a shot!”
The Bachelorette star potentially hinted at her ending when she continued to vent, “I didn’t know that once you get engaged you can’t take a shot — or when you find love you can’t take a shot! So it’s crazy how many people have an opinion about it.”
Joey Graziadei eliminated Jenn before his Final 4 women’s hometown dates on The Bachelor’s 28th season, which wrapped earlier this year on ABC.
After Jenn was announced as The Bachelorette’s Season 21 star in March, the franchise’s first-ever Asian lead, she packed up her bags and got ready to have the power back and hand out roses herself.

Jenn recently teased of The Bachelorette’s 21st season in an interview with Kaitlyn Bristowe at CMA Fest, “The ending of my season is also something that has never happened before.”
Jenn, however, declined to share details about her supposed never-before-seen outcome of The Bachelorette at the time.
The Bachelorette host Jesse Palmer even wrote on one of Jenn’s Instagram comments that calling her season “crazy” is “an understatement.”
In a promo of Jenn’s upcoming The Bachelorette season, Jenn boasts about how she’s “going to fall in love” and is “going to do it my way.”
She adds, “I feel more confident than ever. I feel like the main character in my own love story.”
Earlier this year, Jenn spoke to Entertainment Tonight about how viewers are “not going to get” a polished version of herself when they tune in and watch The Bachelorette this summer.
“You’re not going to get ‘[Meek] and Perfect Jenn.’ You’re going to get ‘Crazy Jenn,’ and that’s the beautiful part of it,” Jenn boasted of her approach to dating on The Bachelorette.
Jenn said viewers will witness her “fiery energy” and flirtatious nature.
Jenn also mentioned how she hoped to end up with a confident and playful man who will “ground” her but also be silly and have a cheeky banter with her.
