It’s finally here! Season 21 of „The Bachelorette“ with our history-making lead, Jenn Tran. We are so ready to bring you along for the journey.
The season begins with Jenn telling a man she can’t let him propose to her, Jesse asking her if she’s ok with whatever could happen here, and then Jenn walking down a hall. That’s an ominous start!
Gina: I love the new format, where we get to see a little hint of drama before we go right into the season. And it sounds like things are going to get dramatic!!
Cue the introduction to 26-year-old Jenn Tran as she lives in Boston while working and studying to be a Physician’s Assistant at Tufts University School of Medicine. It didn’t work out with Joey on „The Bachelor“ last season, but now she’s hoping to find love!
We’re introduced to her family. Her mother emigrated from Vietnam and wants her to take this journey and find her person. Jenn’s brother was also there to support her. We also see Jenn walking in a park and other Asian-American women thanking Jenn for representing them and sharing how excited they are to watch her on the show.
Gina: Jenn revealed to me that her mother only speaks Vietnamese at home and that she learned some English phrases for when she films, which is so sweet. Jenn is excited to be able to share her culture with Bachelor Nation tonight and throughout the season.
PODCAST: Jenn Tran on „Playing the Field“ about her journey as ‚The Bachelorette‘
Jenn’s limo was on the move – let the journey begin!
Jesse Palmer was waiting for Jenn at a „new“ Bachelor Mansion. It’s the Hummingbird Nest Ranch! Jesse tells us that Jenn will meet 25 of the world’s most eligible bachelors. Let’s hope they are here for the right reasons!
The first limo pulled up and our first contestant was Marcus a 31-year-old Army Ranger Veteran from Raleigh, North Carolina. He told her she looked great, chit chatted a little but then he reveals how he has deployed out of planes and lived his dreams. He almost lost his life to a grenade while serving. But, he survived and he has a very positive outlook on his future. I like him, let’s hope Jenn does too!
Gina: I like him too and I hope we learn more about him and his life throughout this season.
Marvin, a 28-year-old Luxury Event Planner from Santa Monica, CA was out next. He told Jenn she was astoundingly gorgeous. Then he spoke some French to her. Jenn thought he was „hot hot.“
Sam N. is 25 and an entrepreneur from Carlsbad, CA. He told Jenn she was breathtaking. He said that he wanted Jenn to know that he’s a virgin.a love virgin because he’s never experienced love. Both of his parents were born in Iran and family is everything to him. He’s never had a real girlfriend because he feels the girl he has as a girlfriend should become his wife. Um, but wait, he curls his eyelashes.
Gina: I have so many questions. Which curler does he use? How did he learn to do this? Does he get lashes caught in the curler like we do occasionally? Oh, also, the love stuff. What does his family think about him coming onto a reality show to find a wife? Sam N, we need to hear from you!
The next limo pulled up and they chanted Jenntlemen.ok ok. Grant was out of limo 2 first and he’s 30 and a day trader from Houston, TX. He beatboxed for her and then sang. It was a little embarrassing. Gave me the icks. He loves playing basketball and even played overseas as a professional athlete. He’s super-rich from day trading, he says.
Sam M. is a 27-year-old contractor from Myrtle Beach, SC. He’s cute! He wanted to bring some Southern charm to Jenn. He said that he wanted to cook her breakfast in 50 years from now. Then he told her it was „shot o’clock.“ He says his goal in life is to find a girl he can fall in love with. He’s been single for a year but is fresh off an engagement that failed after his ex-fiancee cheated on him. They had been together since middle school. Ouch!
Gina: I could see why Jenn was all smiles when he came out of the limo. Southern charm indeed!!
Thomas N. is 31 and a retirement advisor from Tucker, GA. He was nervous but brought her a little gift. It’s a bracelet with his last name on it so they could have a Nguyen-Nguyen (win-win) situation. He was an Olympic hopeful until he got hurt. His parents are also from Vietnam. His parents have a beautiful long-lasting love. It’s so sweet!
Brendan is a 30-year-old real estate broker from Vancouver, Canada. He took a bite out of a pepper and then bit another one in front of Jenn. He told her that he loves to get his heart racing, but things will heat up later and he says he can „handle the heat.“ Jenn was worried that he might need milk. He begged for water on the way in.
Gina: Jenn saying „OK so we like to torture ourselves“ and him saying „yes“ had me laughing. Also, if he was begging for water can he really handle the heat? We’ll find out!
Dakota is a 27-year-old sommelier from Paradise Valley, AZ. He popped a bottle of champagne with a saber. They made him wear safety goggles.
Kevin came out wearing ski gear.in California. He’s 35 and a financial analyst from Denver, CO.
Spencer, interestingly enough, is a pet portrait entrepreneur, 30, from Dallas, TX. He brought some pocket squares for Jenn to choose from.
Brian is a 33-year-old aesthetics consultant from Boynton Beach, FL. He brought out syringes for „shot o’clock.“ Oh no! They’re doing Sam M.’s joke! I guess it’s not as memorable as he thought, haha.
