Nick Viall struck out for the third time on ABC last night. Following a pair of runner-up finishes on The Bachelorette, it appeared as if Nick had found love on Bachelor in Paradise. He and Jen Saviano woke up on Tuesday night in the Fantasy Suite, with Viall gushing over how it’s “truly amazing what private alone time does for a relationship” and Jen later telling Nick: “I’ve fallen in love with you, and I want to continue to fall if you’re willing to catch me.” How sweet, right?!? How romantic, no?!? How sadly misguided of Jen. Viall responded to this outpouring of emotion by saying he didn’t want to regret a proposal and that Jen deserved better than him anyway. “K,” she replied. And that was that. Here’s a look at Viall (sort of) breaking Jen’s heart in front of millions of viewers on last night’s Bachelor in Paradise finale . Of course, Nick Viall will be The Bachelor this spring. So we already knew he didn’t end up with Jen. Viall did go ahead, however, and try to make the best of the situation, considering he now needs viewers around the country who watch The Bachelor online or on television to root for him on Season 21. “It’s not easy saying goodbye to someone as incredible as @jensav11,” Viall wrote on Instagram as a caption to the above image. He added: “One of the most beautiful, graceful, and intelligent women I’ve ever met. So lucky to have had her in my life. She deserves the world.” On the finale, Viall confessed that Saviano simply wasn’t the right woman for him. “I wanted to say I was in love with you, but something in my heart just said I can’t,” he told 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.” Profound stuff from Nick there. We can only hope we’re in for these kinds of original, non-cliche ridden thoughts on The Bachelor next year. View Slideshow: Nick Viall as The Bachelor: Twitter Reacts! On After Paradise, Jen sat down to talk about her feelings when it comes watching her ex look for love with a new group of ladies. It will be an unusual situation, to be sure. “There’s definitely mixed emotions about that — but I’ve moved on, and I’m doing good,” she told the audience. Jen also shared a picture on Instagram of herself eating pizza in her finale outfit. “When you get dumped… Here’s what you do: you order an XL pizza, bottle of wine & watch How To Lose a Guy in Ten Days… because you know, I’m good at that,” she wrote as a caption. She added #singleAF” as a hashtag. HA! We love it. You sure you made the right choice here, Nick? Also: Jen Saviano for The Bachelorette? Please, ABC?!?
