Looking back. 

Bachelor Nation got to know and love Rachel Nance, Daisy Kent, and our recent Bachelorette Jenn Tran during their time on Season 28 of “The Bachelor” and then Season 21 of “The Bachelorette.” 

Since their time on the show, all three fan favorites have been traveling the world and experiencing new opportunities. 

Recently, each of them reminisced about preparing to go on “The Bachelor” about a year ago, and shared snippets of that time with fans online. 

Daisy shared about her experience packing for the show and revealed that her best friends went over to her house to help, and brought prom dresses for her to try on.

“A year ago my best friends came over, brought their old prom dresses & helped me pack for ‘The Bachelor,’” she shared. “We ate sushi & were like [what] am I about to do.” 

Daisy then went on to explain how her friends ended up having to pack for her because she was feeling a little overwhelmed and in shock looking at everything. 

“They categorized all my outfits,” she said, “[and] this curtain rod fell because of all the clothes hanging on it.” 

She then showed herself wearing a gorgeous emerald green dress with gloves and shared that her friends had voted for that dress or the pink one she wore on Night 1. “Crazy this was 1 year ago,” she wrote.

Jenn also posted snippets from her experience in the form of a mini vlog. 

In the clips, she shared that she was feeling grateful and nervous about going on the show but ready to find her person. “It’s just a little risky putting my life on hold, but I know that it will 100% be worth it,” she states. 

The clips also show her packing the night before she had to leave, and Jenn shares that she started a little later than intended. “We’re running a little behind schedule because it’s midnight and I’m still not done yet,” she admitted. 

She then decided to take a break from packing and chose which family photos to bring with her because she knew she was going to miss them.

She shared, “My family means a lot to me and it’s going to be really hard not seeing them, not talking to them. I just want to be able to know that I have their support.” 

Reflecting on this time, Jenn also wrote, “Oh how life has changed… one year ago I was asked to film clips of my everyday life and mindset before leaving for ‘The Bachelor.’ Seriously one whole year and I feel like a completely different person. I wouldn’t take back any of the lessons I’ve learned for the world. I know that the pure hearted girl who once believed in love is still there and that blinding hope will be the guiding light to my forever💛”

Rachel Nance reflected on this past year in a slightly different way. She posted a highlight video of her year and all the different opportunities and people she’s met since her time on the show. 

She shared, “A year ago I got a call saying to pack my bags because I am going to be picked up in the morning by a random car. My best friend nominated me as a joke and I never thought anything of it.” 

She continued, “I packed whatever ‘cute’ clothes I had the night before and told my family I’ll be gone for maybe a week or two (gone for way longer lol) Fast forward a year later and life has been nothing short of amazing. Just a little girl from Hawai’i who’s chasing her dreams…life has never been better 🤍 Here’s to more dreams coming true!”

It’s so fun getting an inside look into how these three Bachelor Nation fan favorites felt before going on the show, and to see where they are now.
