When Jenn spoke with Emily, his younger sister, Emily confessed that she didn’t know whether or not Jeremy was ready to be engaged at the end of the process. She later told her brother that Jenn thought he was guarded because they “hadn’t expressed, really, how you felt about each other.”

At the rose ceremony, Jenn ended up eliminating Jeremy and sent him home.

“Even though it ended like this, I’m at peace with it because I know that whoever is in there will take care of you,” Jeremy told Jenn before he departed.

In a confessional, Jenn explained why she was ready to let him go, adding, “It’s someone that I wanted to see a future with,” she said, “but I just didn’t see it fully there.”
