Jenni rocks...gorgeous, sexy, sweet, and her smile draws you right in! So glad to see that the girl I rooted for on the show is the same down-to-earth girl interviewed here. Happy that she is happy.

To JaLynn, You said that she claimed she was in love with Brad. I have watched every season of the Bachelor since it started airing and this is only the second time I can honestly say that the woman did love the man or in this case both women. The only other time was with Trista and Ryan. But you have to keep in mind that when she did the interview on GMC she had already been off the show for some time. We all just saw the ending of the season. SO yes she may say now she is with her ex that doesnt mean they got together the day aftet they stopped filming. I honestly believed Deanna loved Brad. Jenni had been under the impression this whole time that Brad and Deanna were together. She watched him walk away from both women at the same time America did.

Jenni rocks! She is gorgeous, sweet and just the total package. Brad is an idiot! I am so glad Jenni is back with her ex boyfriend! Wake up Deanna and move on, Brad's a loser!
Posted by: Jude Location: Oregon on Nov 26, 2007 at 06:31 PM
If I were a man, I would hunt this woman down! She is an absolute doll. Me, and ALL of my friends absolutely fell in love with Jenni, her bubbly personality, her positive attitude, and kind heart, and her amazing maturity for a woman in her 20's! She is soooooo impressive! If her new (old) boyfriend doesn't stay on his toes - I am 100% positive there will be an endless line of Jenni suitors!!! Go Miss Jenni!

What made this season memorable for me was Jenni….I absolutely adored her! Not only was she gorgeous on the outside, but I found her to exude a joie de vivre that was captivating. Her optimism was peppered with realism that is refreshing. She was genuine, fun, sexy, and I could easily see her as BFF. After listening to her post show interviews, I am thrilled that she and her ex have found their way back to each other. I wish her the best. She was the reason I stayed tuned this season.

The last two young woman both claimed to not understand how Brad could not pick one of them. It is easy to see. He had his lifestyle and was looking for a wife to join him and his life. They had their lifestyles and appeared set solid in them. Both appeared to want him to be their fantasy idea of a husband. An encounter exchange of personal likes and dislikes would help that program. For now, it is pure romance of the most expensive kind. The people have no chance to know the other, much less to know them well enough to LOVE them as both girls claimed they loved him. They cannot with so little honest realtime information to even know the guy, or visa versa. Moreover, he could have some woman in mind back home that fits his picture better than those two champion women would. Not rocket science to understand it.

Jenni is a class act...she is just a trouper...so glad she did not end up with that fraud...I was sweating it thinking that such a sweet girl would be with a pig like Brad...More Deanna's type...Deanna needs to move on...Brad needs to have counseling...weirdo. Not committing has nothing to do with it...This guy has multiple personalities...and he is a player. Without his money...he would be a blue collar worker with a redneck woman and two B's on the side...LOL

Congrats Jenni Nice to see you bounce back from this true love with a total jerk,so quickly. Good luck with reuniting with your former ex. You do really seem like a sweetie. I wish you much good fortune in your dancing and may you always smile. I just pray now that DeAnna is able to find love again as quickly as you, but I fear not, as she seemed much more emotionally invested in Brad. I hate to see her shattered like this by him. I just wish both of you wonderful women happiness with a man truly worthy of your joyous spirits. Thanks Karen

What a complete doll!

This is so stupid..........Lets see how many girls get dumped every day?? Lets all feel so sorry for a gold digger!!
Posted by: JaLyne Location: Clearwater Kansas on Nov 21, 2007 at 09:32 PM
It was unfortunate that the two girls were both sent packing, but what does everyone expect. Deana was a class act......Jeni was a childish fake. Obviously not the most sincere - she claims to be in love with Brad at one point and then just a few months later announces that she is back together with an ex boyfriend. Hope that Deana finds true love soon - she was just a sweetie. Hope Jeni reaps what she sows.....Happy Holidays to all!
Posted by: Amber Location: Wichita on Nov 21, 2007 at 09:16 PM
I think Jenni is a wonderful girl and I have met in her in the past and she was never anything but nice to everyone. She deserves so much better than Brad anyway!
Posted by: Anonymous on Nov 21, 2007 at 02:39 PM
Such a beautiful, lovely girl, some guys must be "Woman Magnets" when they can reject someone so special.
Posted by: anonymous Location: wichita on Nov 21, 2007 at 01:54 PM
I think Jenni is BEAUTIFUL, charismatic and very very sweet. Any man would be lucky to have her. Those of you who are bashing on this lovely lady are the ones who need to get a life. If you don't like what you see, change the channel.

hahaha, no dollars for the gold diggers
Posted by: JK Location: Central Kansas on Nov 21, 2007 at 12:19 PM
I would like to see this show dropped! I think that God will bring you the mate you pray for. I would like women to realize that relationships are a gift, they are nice...it's nice to have a companion, but, be happy with yourself first and that special person will arrive, sent from above. AND...with that, make sure your mate is a Christian, as you are...to assure a relationship that is not built on sinking sand. Blessings and Happy Thanksgiving!

I have to agree with Kevin about trying to find someone worth while to date in Wichita. You can't meet your future in a bar and we have so little to do to meet good people so thats where we end up and they are all liars and players. Try honesty people it will get you much further in life. I beleive Brad led both women on and they should be thankful that he didn't pick them but i applaude Deanna for standing up to him and telling him he did not make sense. He was talking out of both sides of his mouth.

I think it is sad that women go on TV and make such fools of themselves. Drinking and calling each other names. How embarrassing for all of us women.
Posted by: katie Location: chicago on Nov 21, 2007 at 11:12 AM
Absolutely loved Jenni on the show. Brad's loss. She's a great girl...sweet, fun, full of life and absolutely beautiful. Glad that she has moved on and is happy in love.
Posted by: WG Location: Wichita on Nov 21, 2007 at 10:05 AM
GOOD LUCK JENNI ON FINDING TRUE LOVE!!!! There's nothing wrong with going on reality TV to find true love. Some people go to night clubs hoping to find someone. I would rather go on reality TV, and there's also online dating. Shame on those who like to judge others. I have lived in two different cities amd I can tell you that its very hard to find anyone in Wichita. I THINK YOU ARE AWESOME JENNI AND NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS. GOOD LUCK WITH THE PHOENIX SUNS!!!!!
Posted by: Anonymous on Nov 21, 2007 at 09:42 AM
You give Jenni such a hard time, but what about our other local celeb Jessica from BB8...anyone degrading her for just seeking out her 15 minutes of fame also? We should be proud that Wichita, KS and the surrounding area have been represented so well this year. Thank you both Jenni and Jessica by placing your own reputation on the line and showing how strong and independent women of this generation are.

Any bets she'll end up in Playboy or Penthouse?????
Posted by: cp Location: Wichita on Nov 21, 2007 at 04:24 AM
He had a big nose anyway. The show is stupid. You have no self-respect to even apply for it. None of the relationships ever work out. Can't you find a boyfriend on your own. Are these girls that messed up?
Posted by: Deede Location: wichita on Nov 20, 2007 at 10:38 PM
These girls know that the chances of them being rejected are so much greater than not. I think that I'd rather not get th ring and think thins are so wonderful and shortly down the road I find out tat it didn't work. Please let's at least give him the chance to be honest and not say I Love You when in fact he doesn't. That's a real jerk breaking your heart. How can you say you love someone and want to spend the rest of your life with a person that you really don't know that well. Yes I feel bad for the women but it's very hard on the men as well. You aren't bing true to yourself if you think this happens in real life. Getting to know someone takes a much long time and this could be why we have so many people devoricing after a very short marriage. I think you may think you are IN LOVE but think about it you are really not. Don't rush it really get to know the person and all about them the good, bad and than give it a thought about is it really LOVE. Take your time it's for a lifetime.
Posted by: anonymous Location: Wichita on Nov 20, 2007 at 10:15 PM
again who cares..they are treating Jenni like a celeb..she went on a reality TV show..she just wanted fame, she wasn't really looking for love..come on!..She's a fake!!
Posted by: kevin Location: wichita on Nov 20, 2007 at 06:02 PM
it is easy for someone who is married to say these people need to find someone th eold fashion way....it is very hard to find someone to date in this town...very hard,..and it is very easy for someone married to not believe it!!.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Kansas on Nov 20, 2007 at 05:56 PM
He's A BIG HEADED JERK, these women should be happy he didn't pick one of them,Who would want him. I sure wouldn't.
Posted by: Not Surprise on Nov 20, 2007 at 05:34 PM
Must be gay
Posted by: Kevin Location: Wichita on Nov 20, 2007 at 05:10 PM
She screams Wichita !!!...
Posted by: Jen on Nov 20, 2007 at 02:38 PM
I'm so glad a strong female could go on this show and show how little respect women have for themselves. I hear they are casting for the favor of love, maybe she could do that show too! She just might take the womens movement all the way back to the 40's for us! You go girl!
Posted by: Dana Location: Wichita, Ks on Nov 20, 2007 at 01:32 PM
I think anyone who goes on that show has very little self esteem. These people have no self respect. I have to ask what is wrong with these people that they can't find someone the old fashion way. These people live in a fantasy world, one in which I do not understand. We all know that these girls are gold diggers anyway. You have to be to go on a show. You can't date a guy for 2 months and find true love. That happens over time and with spending more time with each other. You have to get to know each other before you can say I LOVE YOU. Face it people-- the truth is these people are crazy.

Get over him. Obviously, he isnt worth it!!!

Ah how sad that a woman who goes on national tv to find "true love" did not get picked!!! Get a life!!
Posted by: ANN Location: LEAGUE CITY TEXAS on Nov 20, 2007 at 09:52 AM
I WILL NEVER WATCH THE BACHELOR AGAIN. i SAID IT THE LAST TIME WHEN THE NAVY GUY YET AGAIN DID NOT MARRY THE ONE HE COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT!!!YEAH RIGHT. I HOPE CHRIS DOESN'T QUIT THE DESIGNER'S CHALLENGE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE GETTING A REAL BAD TASTE WHEN HIS FACE SHOWS UP. NO OFFENSE, HE IS CUTE AS A BUTTON BUT WHO WOULD TRUST HIM?
