Aven Jones - Bachelor in Paradise (American Season 9)   Ahh this was a bit of a tough choice for me as I do really like both Shaq and Aven. I was hoping for Shaq, Aven and/or Jacquie to be amongst some of the last few saves for this round... but lol I am not THAT lucky. I feel bad having to cut one of Aven or Shaq though, as I said as I like them both. HOWEVER, post-show activities (that I know and read about) have helped me come up with this decision to make things a little easier with this decision, at least. More on that later. Anywho.....  Aven Jones made his Bachelor Nation debut on 2022's The Bachelorette where he was pursuing Rachel. He was the runner-up that season and I think I covered their relationship in last year's game, maybe? I know I did so on Rachel's write-up. But fast forward a year later, Kylee was talking about talking with Aven on social media or something and how excited she was to meet him. Aven came to Season 9's Bachelor in Paradise early on, at like Day 2 or 3. Lol Kylee kinda dropped the guy she had a 1/2 day connection with to be with Aven, as he was the guy she was waiting for. Kylee and Aven connected early on and throughout the whole time on Bachelor in Paradise. While I did really like them and would probably call them my favorite couple of that season (or at least up there), it did seem a little bit of a one-sided relationship where she seemed much more into Aven than him into Kylee. I think he was interested and attracted to her. They did have some really nice, good, cute moments and had good chemistry. The big thing/issue with them was that Kylee wanted to leave the island with a proposal while Aven still wanted to be with her but wasn't ready to settle down and propose. I GET it on both of their ends. You go to Paradise with the expectations and hopes of getting engaged. But then sometimes, a couple weeks of dating on the island isn't enough time to get engaged and you want to explore things on the outside. Aven did end up getting his way here where they left the show in a relationship without the engagement (that 2 other couples did). I'll post a few videos of when Aven arrived on Paradise to ask Kylee for a date and then them leaving the show together.       I was fine with this decision from Aven & Kylee and was just hoping for the best for them on the outside world. Sadly, about a week after the finale, it came out that they broke up. 😐 The reason for it was rather shocking. I believe it was stated that Aven cheated on Kylee outside of the show? I can't remember all of the details. But he did post a statement on social media apologizing to Kylee for his actions: https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/EhuKFHCuSRF9xIVJvE7wnw--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTY0MDtoPTEzODQ-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/business_insider_articles_888/afa22018bdf0063d0507713ca0323611  And another article about it here: https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/bips-kylee-russell-breaks-down-aven-jones-cheating-scandal/  Ugh this was really disappointing to me as I really liked Aven and rooted for him on both of his The Bachelor seasons. I don't get how he could do that to Kylee... it makes no sense. I really rooted for them on the show so this was ugh. But Kylee definitely deserves better and someone as into her as she's into them. I usually make my cuts/saves based on stuff from the show and what they did on the show. But with Shaq being such a loyal and dedicated soldier to Tanya on their Love Island series + relationship that gave him the advantage for me as I can't really say that Aven did the same. Saving: Shaq Muhammad

I bought her song -- I think on Friday.  And I've listened to it on YouTube.  I'm so happy!
