"So if they had said something in the past that really was a red flag for me or really just didn't work with what I wanted in my future, but I still had fun with them, I knew in my gut, 'I have to let them go because this one thing is not going to work and it's something that we won't be able to work through.'"

Jenn admitted, however, there were times when her decisions were last minute and things "came down to the wire."
"There were times when I was like, 'I don't know' -- but I did know," Jenn confessed.
"If I really thought about it, I was like, 'This works right now, but it's not going to work forever.'"
The Bachelorette fans are hoping that Jenn found the love of her life and got engaged at the end of Season 21, which premieres Monday, July 8 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
When asked if she's happy with the way her The Bachelorette season ended, Jenn shared on Alex's podcast, "The ending was the right ending for me. Yes, I'm happy for me because everything was the way that it was supposed to go."
The physician assistant student from Miami, however, suggested that she didn't predict how her season was going to end while filming, adding, "I think people will be shocked, for sure."
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.
"I'm honestly really excited for everyone to just see it," Jenn gushed.
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 named 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."

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."
