Jen is back and ready for DRAMA.
By Kaitlin Kaiser — Written on Aug 25, 2019
Jen Saviano was a contestant on The Bachelor season 20. She didn't make a huge splash as she never received a one on one date and was eliminated during week five. She did make a huge impression during Bachelor in Paradise season three, as she fell hard for Nick Viall and was dumped even harder. Now she is back and ready for love and hopes to find it in Chris Bukowski. But what is Katie Morton going to do, as she also has her sights set on Chris? Who is Jen Saviano?
1. Before the Bachelor
Jen Saviano is a college graduate, leaving Flagler University with a bachelor's degree in phycology. She is resident of Nashville. She and her friend Coleen, run a travel blog of things to do around the city called whathappensinnash.com. She runs a lifestyle blog called MissLifestyler. She partners with a lot of major companies including Nike, Kohls and Lululemon.
2. Ben Higgins's Bachelor Season
Saviano first appeared on Bachelor Nation on the 20th season of The Bachelor. The bachelor was Ben Higgins, a software salesman from Indiana. She was only on the show for five weeks before she was eliminated. She didn't make a big splash on the show, but fans certainly remember her because of her undeniable beauty.
3. Bachelor in Paradise season 3
Saviano next appeared on Bachelor In Paradise season three. She entered the season with her sights set on future Bachelor Nick Viall. When she arrived in paradise, Nick was unattached, having only received a friendship rose from Haley Ferguson. When Jen came on the show he was instantly taken with her. They were pretty hot and heavy the whole season and fans thought the two would end up together. We even saw Nick picking out an engagement ring before the finale.
4. Things aren't always as they seem
While Bachelor in Paradise was still airing, it was announced that Nick Viall would be the new Bachelor. This took fans by surprise, because everyone thought that Nick and Jen were going to end up together, as they were still hot and heavy on the show. During the finale Jen told Nick, "I've fallen in love with you, and I want to continue to fall if you’re willing to catch me." Unfortunately for Jen... he was not willing to catch her. “Sometimes you wish you could tell your heart what to do, and if I could, I would tell it to choose you. I just feel like something’s telling me to say goodbye. I’m sorry. My biggest fear is that I’m going to regret it.” As time went on, he did not regret it as he found love on his season of The Bachelor with Vanessa. The two have since split.
5. This season in Paradise
Jen has entered this season of BiP with one objective in mind: Chris Buckouwski. As we learned from her last season in paradise, when she sets her sights on someone, it is likely she will reel them in. The only problem being that Chris is already linked to Katie. She and Blake had some off camera history from before paradise, and the girls were betting that she was going to ask either Dean or Blake on a date. Everyone was wrong. When she had a one on one talk with Chris, she asked him if he was involved. He said that he hadn't been on any dates yet, but he had started something with Katie. However, right before Jen arrived, Katie told Chris that he should feel free to talk to the new girls coming into Paradise. As soon as she saw Chris with Jen however, she regretted it immediately. She realized that she did have feelings for Chris. He said he would rather be with Katie but he was unsure of her feelings for him.
6. Jen and Chris's date.
Jen and Chris took a catamaran out on the water. They helped each other put on sunscreen and drank champagne. While the two were enjoying some fun in the sun, Katie spent the whole time crying. After some time on the boat hings went downhill. The water was rough and Chris ended up getting very seasick. He spent the later half of the date vomiting off the side of the boat. Chris, feeling bad for the first date fail, decided to take Jen on another date that evening. Chris admitted that he likes Katie quite a bit, but he doesn't think that she is looking for something as serious as he is. Chris told Jen that he had his sights set on a wife. He told Jen that he was very much interested in her. I guess we will see what the future holds for this love triangle.
