And so, in the second-to-last rose ceremony, Jenn sent Jonathon home, setting up a Marcus/Devin finale.
So whats on the agenda until then?
And what does Jonathon point to as the reason why he and Jenn didnt make it to the end?
Disney/John Fleenor
Glamour: Wait, can we first talk about this rose tattoo on your hand?
Jonathon Johnson: Im waiting for people to roast me for it.
Ive had this for four years.
Johnson’s rose tattoo.
Its a really shitty rose, but its a rose.
So what prompted you to go with a rose?
Most of my tattoos dont have any meaning.
Jenn and Jonathon.
I get them because I like them.
And I had never seenThe Bachelorettebefore when I got this rose tattoo.
So theres no [real story] there.
But I have one that means the world to me.
Its a angel or a cherub with a black eye on it.
Its representative of my mom.
She went through a lot.
She got it matching with me actually on my birthday.
And I have a Harry Potter tattoo on my hip.
Well now the rose tattoo probably takes on new meaning.
What was this experience like for you looking back?
Its incredible to watch back.
Im proud of the way I carried myself throughout.
I didnt put on a facade.
So watching the way that I carried myself throughout it, I was really proud to watch that back.
Do you have a better understanding now of why Jenn didnt give you the rose?
Watching [it back gave] me a lot of clarity.
I think our relationship was potentially missing an X factor.
With Marcus, she said that she was in love.
With Devin, he said that he was in love.
And with us, were in this amazing place.
I dont know if its the depth or that feeling of forever that we didnt have.
Everything else was so right.
And I just couldnt get there.
Maybe the X factor was me.
Maybe it was me not being able to get there was the reason we wouldnt.
Do you think Devin or Marcus is best suited for her?
I have so much love for the two of them.
She will be taken care of for the rest of her life, whichever direction she goes.
What did you make of Sam M. tonight?
Were you shocked by what Jenn said to him?
But the way he carried himself [atMen Tell All], I was extremely proud of.
So I had nothing but kudos to give to him.
I will never hate on somebody for trying.
Bachelor in Paradiseis next up for you, but thats still like nine months away.
Do you remain single until then?
Youre prepared for that?
You know when I commit to something, I dont just do it half-hearted.
And youre okay without air conditioning?
I mean, I dont know where its going to be filmed.
I dont know if theyre doing it in Mexico again or if theyre doing it…
You watch.
This is going to be the first time they do it in Antarctica.
Not the right paradise, but…
Maybe for some people.
It would be cool to see all the penguins.
So wherever it is, I guess that Ill be single till then.
The three-hourBachelorettefinale airs Tuesday, September 3, on ABC, and streams the next day on Hulu.
