6 Must-Know Facts for ‘The Bachelorette’ Season 21, Episode 4

If The Bachelorette Season 21 could be described in a single word, it would be “messy.” Devin, Sam M., and Thomas N. are constantly fighting over who is ready to truly walk away engaged to Jenn Tran. On Episode 3, the trio continued to argue, with another participant getting thrown into the middle of their rift, Sam N. With only 13 contestants left, Jenn is destined to make more cuts and add one more man to her roster of eligible bachelors. Here is a handy guide as to who is still in Jenn’s good graces and what viewers can expect next.

The next episode of The Bachelorette will air on Monday night, July 29, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. Episode 4 will arrive on streaming the following day. Bachelor Nation fans in the US can keep updated on Jenn Tran’s journey via Hulu or through the Disney+ and Hulu bundle. For those not subscribed, plans range between $7.99 and $17.99 per month. The first option includes ads, while the other is ad-free.

Tensions continued to rise in Episode 3, as Devin and Thomas N. remain bickering over Jenn, with even more participants getting involved. Yet, before that, Jenn Tran did get the chance to go on a one-on-one date with Spencer. Although the two had barely interacted until that point, their helicopter ride followed by a romantic dinner was promising. He even opened up about a previous engagement, which was broken off after his former partner cheated on him. Despite this negative experience, Spencer assures Jenn that he is ready to move on and hopes that he might be the one for her. Their time together convinced the bachelorette to gift him a rose.

Another group date took place, involving Thomas N., Devin, Sam M., Dylan, Marcus, John M., Grant, Jonathan, and Sam N. The participants had the chance to take a striptease lesson from “The Thunder from Down Under”, and were then given the opportunity to show off their bodies and sexy moves to Jenn. Although most of them were up for the challenge, Sam N. felt apprehensive about showing skin before charming the bachelorette with his heart. Instead of stripping, he decided to tell her he is in love with her, which did not sit well with the other participants.

On the second group date of Episode 3, Aaron, Hakeem, Jeremy, and Austin were invited to a race competition. Although Aaron was the fastest driver, it was Jeremy who charmed Jenn the most and won a rose. Afterward, Aaron pulled the bachelorette aside to tell her that he would need to leave the program to do fighter pilot training. He also warned her that several participants aren’t in the show for the right reasons and that it would be up to her to determine who he is referring to. Set off by his remarks, Jenn later confronts the group before choosing who is worthy of getting a rose during the ceremony. In the end, she decides to send Hakeem and Tomas A. home.

With the continued rift among some of the participants, Bachelor Nation fans did not hold back when it comes to picking sides. Here are some of the tweets that they shared following Episode 3’s release.

A user named Bachelor Diva commented that Devin is the one to root for, after he stuck up for Sam N. after the men were bullying him for telling Jenn that he loved her.

An account named Always On even compared Devin and Sam M. to Maria and Sydney from The Bachelor Season 28.

Another user called Kathleen shared a meme to represent Aaron’s decision to throw a bomb at Jenn before leaving for pilot school.

In the Episode 4 preview, Jenn is seen with a couple of participants on what seems like a group date. She says in the clip that she wants her future partner to be open to learn more about different cultures and ancestries. Once again, it seems like Devin and Sam M. will be disputing over this season’s main girl, and given that they are both seen with her in one-on-one dates, they might be her strongest connections. Yet, there is a curve ball ahead, with one of Jenn’s exes joining the program as a potential suitor. Will the drama get more intense with another participant in the house?

While watching the latest season of The Bachelorette, viewers can catch up on other reality TV shows that are focused on matchmaking and finding a fiancé. The mentions below are perfect recommendations to follow along while waiting for new Bachelorette episodes to come out.

Think of The Bachelorette but without physical interactions before the proposal and Love Is Blind is what you get. In this Netflix reality hit, singles go on dates without ever getting to see the person they are connecting with until they leave the pods engaged. The pairs that do decide to go through with the experiment and plan their wedding get to meet each other face to face after the proposal, venturing off on a honeymoon and living together in the weeks leading up to the ceremony. When the wedding arrives, the participants can finally say “yes” or “no” to being with the person they got to know during their time on the show.

On Love Island, several singles get the chance to go to a luxurious villa in the hopes of having a memorable summer and leaving the show alongside a significant other. Yet, there is a catch! Throughout their stay at the getaway spot, participants must couple up in order to remain in the program and get the chance to win $100,000 dollars. Although the pairings might change from Episode 1 to later in the season, it is of the utmost importance for those on the show to be in a relationship, or else they will have to be sent home.
