Bachelor Nation along with the "Playing the Field" podcast team, Ryan Field, Jen Matarese, and Gina Sirico, watched in horror as Jenn Tran's journey to find love ended in heartbreak. After first sending Marcus home after he took too long to share his true feelings, Jenn chose Devin as her fiance. She offered him a ring and decided she wanted to choose herself first and be the one to propose. Devin then in turn decided to propose right back and got down on one knee with a beautiful Neil Lane engagement ring.

It would have been great if that was the beginning to Jenn's happily ever after, but now we know it was the beginning of the end. After the cameras stopped rolling, Devin apparently began to struggle with his feelings. Jenn said that he ghosted her and became more distant. He even cut off communication between her and members of his family. Then, before a "happy couple" visit, Devin called Jenn and broke off their engagement, and their relationship in a 15-minute phone call.

A devastated Jenn was forced to relive not only the breakup, but the proposal, all while Devin sat next to her on the stage "After the Final Rose." Bachelor Nation sounded off about the finale and what transpired.

Just minutes later though, Jenn received an offer to join the celebrity cast of "Dancing with the Stars!" She joins "Bachelor" Joey Graziadei, Olympic athletes, and other stars.

Eyewitness News Entertainment Reporter Joelle Garguilo caught up with Jenn and her dance partner Sasha Farber following the cast announcement in New York City.

Also, we talk about the upcoming season of "The Golden Bachelorette". Joan was in the audience of "The Bachelorette" finale as was one of her suitors, Kelsey's dad, Mark. Her journey begins on September 18 on ABC.

On this week's "Playing the Field" podcast, Ryan, Jen, and Gina recap week 5 of "The Bachelorette." They pick apart Jenn's one-on-one dates with Jonathon and Grant. Does Jenn have enough chemistry with them to go the distance? Could either of them be "the one?"

This week on "Playing the Field" Ryan Field, Jen Matarese, and Gina Sirico break down episode 4 of "The Bachelorette." Jenn Tran meets her 12 remaining men in New Zealand.

She goes on a one-on-one date with Sam M. Is the chemistry still there? Did his unwillingness to listen to her at Sky Tower hurt his chances or did he do enough to recover from his missteps during the evening portion of their date? Sam M.'s family, meantime, has hit social media with claims that he is getting a bad edit.

The group date took to the rugby pitch to let Jenn watch the men face off. It did bring out their competitive nature, especially for Sam N. Did our love virgin come on too strong or was he DOA? Also, Jonathon and Marcus both seemed to advance their relationships with Jenn.

Finally, Devin didn't have to steal time, it was all his! He got a one-on-one date where they explored the culture of the region. He loved learning about the traditions and the date brought up a lot of conversation about family and religion. They have a lot in common due to being raised primarily by their mothers and both having fathers that they don't have relationships with at this point in time. Devin also told Jenn he was falling for her. Jenn said in an interview, not in front of Devin, that she could see him as her future fiancé.

But wait, who is this? It's Matthew, Jenn's ex crashing the show. He dated Jenn for a few months three years ago. Jenn thought they were just friends, but Matthew flew across the globe to tell her he loves her and he's ready for a real relationship and to get engaged. Wow. That's a lot! Should she allow him on the show? What will the guys think?
