The Bachelorette: Jenn Tran REJECTS her ex-boyfriend before a shocking departure - as a preview teases that she REJECTS a proposal

As a seasoned observer of reality TV romances, I must say that this episode was as unpredictable as ever. The emotional rollercoaster Jenn and her suitors are on is nothing short of captivating.


In the latest episode of The Bachelor, Matthew unexpectedly appeared in Auckland, prompting Jenn Tran to politely decline him.

Nearly concluding last week’s episode, Matthew jet-setted to Auckland, New Zealand, with the intention of declaring his affection for the 26-year-old doctor’s aide.

For the first time, he expressed his love for her, a sentiment no one else had shared with her before. Yet, she asked them all to leave, including Thomas Nguyen, John Mitchell, and Dylan Buckor. To everyone’s surprise, Austin Ott decided to quit, leaving Jenn astonished.

only seven competitors are left now: Devin Strader, Grant Ellis, Jeremy Simon, Jonathon Johnson, Marcus Shoberg, Sam McKinkey, and Spencer Conley. However, a sneak peek at the rest of the season hints that Jenn will turn down a proposal from one of these gentlemen.

In my latest exploration, I find myself delving into an intriguing turn of events. It all started at a lively soiree, where the participants remained blissfully unaware that Jenn Tran’s former partner, Matthew, had embarked on a long journey from his home to Auckland, New Zealand, with the intention of crashing the show.

With a cheerful atmosphere among the last unmarried men, Dylan Buckor added, ‘I have something else to share as well. Growing up without a brother has always been unusual for me. But I’m fortunate to be in your company and receive your support.’

He commented, ‘I believe things are going well at the moment, and surprisingly, there seems to be no drama here – if I may venture to say so. However, I suspect that won’t last long.’

As I pour my heart out in this confession, let me tell you, my mind is swirling with thoughts this week! You see, I’ve been spending time with eleven remarkable gentlemen for the past few weeks, growing closer with each one. But just when I thought things were settling down, this morning brought an unexpected twist. My ex-boyfriend Matt made a surprise appearance, flying all the way from Boston to be here with me!

The scene cuts to previous moments where Matthew unexpectedly expresses his love for Jenn by surprising her, a sentiment she hadn’t heard from him before. It becomes clear that he is now prepared to propose marriage.

Jenn visits for a meeting with host Jesse Palmer, who remarks that Matthew’s action was quite a charming romantic gesture.

She commented, ‘I’m utterly astonished. It left me speechless when I found out he was present, and I was baffled by the situation.’

When he inquired if she had any notion of his feelings, she responded that she did not, further explaining, “Funny thing is, despite being friends for such a long time post-breakup, I never realized he felt this way. frankly, it’s baffling to me. In fact, nobody has ever expressed love for me before, so…”

When Palmer questioned her about the sensation of her former partner being the one to express love first, she responded, ‘Well, it just leaves me more puzzled, to tell you the truth.’

Palmer expressed his opinion that she might want to discuss things with Matt, considering he traveled such a distance. Furthermore, he suggested that doing so could potentially alter everything.

Jenn believes there could be a future among the eleven remaining men, yet she’s uncertain about their response if Matt were to join their group.

In the confessional, Jenn admits her uncertainty about their response. She can merely cross her fingers and hope that they’ll have faith in her.

Jenn visits the group, sharing with them, “I realize I’ve discussed my past with many of you extensively. Surprisingly, it’s influencing me in ways I didn’t anticipate, to a greater extent than I had initially thought.”

She shares openly that she finds herself in a complex situation. While she was in the city, an unexpected encounter took place – her ex-boyfriend Matt appeared. He had traveled from afar, specifically Auckland, to express his feelings for her. He desires to be with her and become part of our journey. Hearing this, the guys are taken aback.

In this moment, there’s a whirlwind of emotions and events taking place within me. Tonight, I find myself needing to have a conversation with Matt. Therefore, I shall step away for a brief moment, assuring you that I will return soon.

1. In simpler terms, Devin Strader expresses his desire for a beverage by saying, ‘I could use a drink,’ whereas Sam McKinney, during a confessional, admits, ‘That was really tough on everyone present in the room.’

John Mitchell expresses, “Frankly, I didn’t anticipate this situation at all. Nor do I welcome it. However, it appears that we might need to confront and handle it.”

Spencer Conley expresses in his confession, ‘Well, it’s simple to assume questions like, ‘Does he often visit the house? Does she frequently depart with him?”

Grant Ellis shared with the group, ‘In essence, she gets to make the final call, but I can’t bear the thought of her getting hurt once more. It’s affected us all deeply, as we’re all investing our emotions in this situation. There are some worthy suitors already involved, so it’s not a scenario I find pleasant.’

As an ardent admirer, I find myself expressing my perplexity to the gathering: ‘Isn’t there any guide on how one should act or react in this intricate situation?’ I also confess my frustration, ‘It seems unjust to assume someone has a historical advantage over me when it comes to interacting with her. How can I possibly compete under those circumstances?’

Austin Ott expresses to the group, ‘You all understand, right, that it makes a significant difference when you’ve been with an ex because you know them intimately. To be honest, he has a clear advantage in this situation, knowing Jenn as well as he does. I find it strange and unappealing that he’s here among us. frankly, I’m uncomfortable with his presence. None of us anticipated this turn of events tonight, and now things have taken an unexpected twist once again.’

Sam McKinney expresses his strong reaction, saying, ‘I’m finding it incredibly difficult to accept what just happened. It’s like my blood is simmering with anger within me.’

As one who values the effort and camaraderie within our group, I can’t help but ponder if he intends to become a member with us. If Jenn decides to welcome him, it seems unusual to me, given all we’ve invested in this place. Frankly, I find such a possibility rather odd. Personally, I prefer maintaining the status quo and not including him in our circle.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but echo Jeremy Simon’s sentiments. She’s casually shared tidbits about her previous romantic entanglements with some of us. If this mysterious figure shows up, it’s not just by chance; there’s a purpose behind it.

He admits, ‘Jenn informs us that one of her former boyfriends unexpectedly visited Auckland and saw her, and he’s here tonight. She had to step away for a talk with him, and she plans to listen to what he has to say. I believe the men are either taken aback or distressed. The atmosphere definitely reflects strong emotions.’

Jenn steps outside to converse with Matthew, who confides in her that he’s feeling somewhat apprehensive. However, Jenn responds by expressing that it warms her heart because such a gesture has never been extended towards her before. And yet, she admits, she remains puzzled. In essence, she wonders, why this sudden change?

Matt emphasizes, “To be honest, this is a make-or-break moment. It seems like you’re stuck with this decision. There doesn’t appear to be any room for compromise.”

Jenn said, “I hadn’t realized you felt like that,” while Matt clarified, “It wasn’t an instant change, but as we started reconnecting, I discovered aspects of you that resonated with me deeply over time.”

Reflecting on our shared memories and the joy we experienced together, you truly hold a significant place in my heart. It stirs up feelings of nostalgia within me.

Matt expressed, ‘Initially, when we truly experimented with life, we were distinct individuals, far from the adults we are now. As we’ve matured and evolved into more adult-like versions of ourselves, our bond has only grown stronger. I sincerely hope you can comprehend how much value you hold for me. Frankly, I’m not yet prepared to let this connection fade away.’

Jenn confides in Matt, “I’m finding it challenging because you’re aware of how deeply I value our friendship. We’ve shared many wonderful moments and have a strong connection on multiple levels. However, I’ve been seeing eleven different men recently, and I’m torn between my past with you and these new experiences. I don’t want to cause pain, but I need to choose a path.”

In a casual conversation, Devin expresses his annoyance to Grant by saying, “I feel really upset, buddy,” to which Grant responds with, “You’re in high spirits at the moment. You know what I mean? I noticed you had a radiant aura about you, and now it feels like an unexpected collision.”

As someone who has experienced the same, I can relate. She’s choosing to revisit her past, and it seems effortless. For me, that’s a path I won’t tread again. I won’t go back there again.

Grant says, ‘She might tell him off,’ but Dylan says if she lets him on the show, he’s leaving.

In his confession, Dylan expresses strong anger, saying, “I’m furious, buddy. The mere presence of this individual is causing issues for me. To be honest, it stirs up feelings related to my own past traumas. It seems to be resurfacing, you see? I’ve been betrayed in the past, and it’s not a pleasant sensation for me. Though I know this might not be exactly the same, it feels like it in this situation.”

Dylan says to Grant, ‘If she enters with that man, this rose holds no significance for me,’ as Matt arrives to speak to everyone.

Matt shared a moment to mention that he decided independently to join this setting. He was informed that someone else’s future lies within this space, and she trusts that you can provide opportunities she can’t. Matt is there primarily to express his apologies, not to interfere with your experiences. He hopes only the best for all of you, as well as for her.

Sam M. says to Matt, ‘I’d like to make a comment now. If you happened to enter this house, feel free to take a seat and mingle with the group. There are some great guys here, and yes, I’m glad that you plan to stay in our past.’

Matt expresses to the camera, ‘I feel a bit deflated. The transformation she’s undergone and her life journey have significantly altered her. I must acknowledge that change. I wish her well. At least we both receive the resolution we didn’t get earlier, but it wasn’t as I had imagined.’

Sam M. expressed to the group, ‘Everything is fine. Everything is resolved. The task is completed, and everything is under control. I believe Jenn has shown us something exceptional. So, I’m glad for everyone. I’m relieved that the situation is resolved.’ As they all shared a laugh.

In a confessional, Devin admitted, ‘It felt satisfying. It provided the confirmation I required. I acted impulsively based on misguided assumptions, but Jenn was shrewd enough to grasp the situation quickly. I had the opportunity to place my faith in her there. I got to rely on her trustworthiness.’

Jenn walks into the room, sharing with the group, ‘Today has been quite a emotional journey for me. In an unexpected turn, Matt declared his love for me today – a feeling I’ve never experienced before. However, hearing it from him leaves me feeling conflicted, as I believe the man who truly loves me is among you. This room holds my future, and possibly even my husband. Tonight, we have a rose ceremony, and I face challenging decisions that weigh heavily on me.’

According to Jonathon Johnson’s confession, ‘It’s relieving to know Jenn perceives her future potential here, but there are still ten other impressive men. We didn’t get a chance for one-on-one time tonight. I hope our connection is robust enough that she sees me more favorably than some of the other men in the house.’

Spencer admits in his confession, ‘It’s clear Jenn is searching for her future spouse, and that gives me something to hang onto. I believe I’m prepared for a proposal, and I’m quite optimistic that this might lead to it.’

Everyone moves in to participate in the rose ceremony, with Grant, Spencer, Jeremy, Jonathon, two Spencers, Dylan, and Austin receiving roses. Meanwhile, Thomas Nguyen and John Mitchell are eliminated and bid farewell to the group and Jenn as they depart.

In her confession, Jenn admitted, ‘Tonight was tough. It’s difficult to send folks away at this stage given my feelings towards them. However, I need to make the right choice for myself and prioritize myself, something I haven’t always managed in the past.’

“Austin raises a glass, saying, ‘Here’s to finding that this current bunch is superior to any you’ve known before.'”

Jenn confesses, ‘Tonight feels incredibly significant. It seems like we’re genuinely leaving our past behind us and moving forward into a brilliant future. This future, I believe, is made possible by the wonderful people gathered here, so let’s all raise a glass to love.’

On the following day, Jesse encounters Jenn and shares his enthusiasm for the ‘wonderful’ coffee scene in Auckland.

Jenn expresses, ‘I’ve moved on from that phase in my life and left behind the old me. Now, I’m eager to explore more with these people since I believe it’s an important week for strengthening our connections and fostering growth in our relationships.’

Jesse asks, ‘What do you feel like you still want to see from the guys here moving forward?’

Jenn mentions, “It’s clear there’s something going on. There’s a playful vibe, there’s a spark. As weeks pass by, I’m getting a clearer idea of what I desire in the future. The more I develop these connections, the more I realize what I truly want.”

In our group, neither Austin nor I have had a private meeting with Jenn up until now. However, when the date invitation arrived, it was directed towards Jonathan, not me.

“Jonathan, my dear, the moment we’ve been anticipating has arrived. It’s time for our hearts to soar together. Excitedly yours, Jenn.” In response, Jonathan shares his elation, expressing he’s currently ‘floating on cloud nine.’

As a die-hard enthusiast, I can’t help but ponder if ‘take flight’ might refer to a hot air balloon ride. However, my heart skips a beat at the mere thought, for I’m petrified of heights, Jonathan here.

In his confession, Jonathan admits, ‘Since I arrived, I find myself yearning for those one-on-one moments to explore your feelings more intimately. And each week, when my name isn’t called, and then it is, I can’t help but wonder if others noticed as well. The date card read, “It’s time for our love to soar.” Given my fear of heights, I was puzzled about what could possibly require flying.’

Upon his arrival, Jonathan spots Jennifer near a helicopter, which doesn’t sit well with him. In the vehicle, he expresses his discontent, muttering, “Oh, man, I truly detest helicopters.”

She mentions that they’re planning to travel by helicopter, querying whether he has experienced such a flight before. In response, he acknowledges having been in one previously but expresses his dislike for helicopters. He further explains that the idea of taking a ride today was the absolute last thing he desired. If things were to turn sour and we end up crashing, at least we’ll share the same fate.

Jonathan expresses that the aim is for him and Jenn to conquer their fear together and fully immerse themselves in the present moment. Since she has previously bungee-jumped, abseiled from buildings, and taken helicopter rides, he intends to ensure she feels indispensable.

They take off in the helicopter as Jenn does what she can to calm his nerves, though he marvels at the view as they pass their hotel.

In her confession, Jenn admits that there seems to be something special between her and Jonathan. She senses a connection, an attraction, even a chemistry. However, for some unknown reason, their relationship hasn’t gotten off the ground just yet.

I express, ‘There’s a playful, lighthearted vibe between us that I cherish, yet we haven’t reached a point of genuine openness and vulnerability. I believe this is crucial for us to advance further.’

At a vineyard, they begin acting playfully, performing cartwheels, engaging in games of Marco Polo, and mockingly reenacting the rose ceremony using grapes instead.

In the hot tub, Jenn queries about any apprehensions she might have regarding the day, particularly with her in mind. His response is that he has just one concern.

My main concern about our relationship is whether we can move beyond the enjoyable and casual stage to form a deep emotional bond. Are we capable of connecting on a more profound level? This aspect carries immense significance for me, as it is something that I find challenging.

Jenn expresses, “We’re both quite perceptive individuals, and I believe the essence of today was enjoyment. However, there are depths within you that I sense need exploration.”

In her confession, Jenn admits, ‘You understand there’s fun involved with Jonathan. There’s also a physical connection. But what’s missing is the ability to emotionally bond. I truly hope we can overcome that hurdle someday. A rose symbolizes more than any other rose ever has for me. To offer a rose to Jonathan, I need to believe we can surpass the fun boundary.’

After changing their clothes, they make their way to a private dinner. As Jonathan confesses, “Jenn and I have had an incredible relationship filled with enjoyable moments, positive vibes. It’s always exciting when we’re together. Jenn illuminates every situation with her radiance and energy. The joy and fun that surround us throughout the day was simply remarkable.”

Jenn raised her glass, saying, “Let me propose a toast to an extraordinary day shared with an extraordinary individual, and to deepening our understanding of each other.”

Jonathan confesses, ‘We share a similar outlook on life, finding joy and levity in it. However, Jenn is unaware of the emotional turmoil and life-altering experiences I’ve faced due to my past relationship. It’s important for her to understand this, but I must admit, I’m afraid.’

At dinner, Jonathan expressed, “Today was fantastic, honestly! I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed such spontaneous conversation, laughter, and camaraderie as I did today.”

Jenn mentions, ‘One aspect that I truly appreciate about us and today is that you let me express myself genuinely, which isn’t something I’ve experienced in past relationships. That’s why today was enjoyable for me as we could just be ourselves freely. And this authenticity matters a lot to me.’

Jonathan mentions, ‘With that said, there are certain topics I wish to discuss, things about myself that I’d like you to learn, and vice versa. I’ve often shared with you that I struggle with expressing emotions, but I believe the real issue is that I find it challenging to fully trust someone completely. It’s difficult for me to give my all when I don’t know everything about the person I’m dealing with. Many people share this difficulty, though our reasons may vary.

Jenn expresses empathy, saying, “I understand his struggle, as I’ve experienced something similar. It can really impact a person’s self-esteem.”

Jenn shares, “I find myself resonating with your experiences more than you might realize. I too had a toxic ex-boyfriend who would manipulate and gaslight me just like you mentioned. Being in an emotionally abusive relationship leaves deep scars, and it’s something that stays with you for a long time. I understand where you’re coming from regarding the fear of opening up and trusting someone again, as they could potentially use it against you. Does this sentiment ring true to you?”

John expresses, “Your explanation makes perfect sense. It’s tough to grasp, and not everyone can explain things to me as clearly as you do. It’s invigorating. I appreciate it deeply. Thanks a bunch.”

Jonathan confesses, ‘When it comes to past emotional struggles, we seem to have many similar experiences with her. She listens attentively, and I appreciate that she lets me express myself about such matters.’

In the hotel, Devin shares with everyone, ‘I believe we can all concur that Jonathan is an admirable guy. However, the notion of men enjoying time with my girlfriend just doesn’t sit well with me.’

Austin says, ‘All I know is Jonathon is with me wife right now,’ as they laugh.

Austin expresses, ‘Today, Jonathon has a private session. He’s enjoying some quality time with Jenn, which I also desire for myself.’

On his arrival, Sam M. unveils a group date invitation, which includes himself, Devin, Marcus, Spencer, Jeremy, and Dylan. The card reads, ‘Love can be chaotic. Jenn.’ In simpler terms, it means that all six individuals have been invited for a group date with the phrase ‘Love is messy’ symbolizing the complexities of love, and ‘Jenn’ being the name of the person they will be spending time with.

With Grant being the one for the solo date, he shared with the group, “I’m thrilled! I’m excited about this one-on-one time. Let’s attempt to delve a bit deeper emotionally. And, well, I plan to reveal my true feelings and see how things unfold.”

In his confession, he admits, ‘I’m thrilled that I finally had a private date with Jenn. I’ve been looking forward to it for a while now. It’s something I’ve wanted. I’m really excited about it. I can’t wait to see her. I long to explore our relationship more. I want to learn more about her, and I hope she does the same for me.’

Dylan expresses that he currently lacks thoughts, whereas Austin admits during his confession that it’s frustrating as most men seem to be several steps ahead of him. He hints at being envious because he is still unsure if Jenn is the right woman for him and needs more time to make that determination.

On their date, Jonathan mentioned, ‘You’re the type of person who always sees the bright side, aren’t you? I’ve learned to view my life in a similar light. You see, my upbringing wasn’t easy or privileged. My family went through a lot, and I just wanted to bring joy into their lives amidst all the struggles. My mom had me when she was 27, my sister at 17, and my brother at 20. Seeing their hardships, I always aimed to put a smile on their faces.’

Is there a sense that you needed to present a more robust facade towards your family, and does this perhaps make it more challenging for you to express your emotions, as you prefer not to reveal that part of yourself due to feeling it might be perceived as a vulnerability or weakness?

Jennifer shares that while she agrees with Jonathan, her agreement stems from having experienced similar situations, though not exactly the same. Her parents’ divorce and the constant fighting left their home toxic. As a result, she had to adopt a stronger facade to navigate through childhood since there was no one else to care for her amidst the chaos. This upbringing has made it difficult for her to express emotions freely, fearing that showing vulnerability might lead to more problems. She believes this is why many of her relationships have been unhealthy or failed.

Jonathan explains, ‘It works both ways. In other words, someone should be there to bring out the best in you, understand your true feelings, and say something like, “I can tell you’re hiding something. What’s going on? Let’s talk about it.”‘

Jenn stated, “I concur with your viewpoint. Over time, I’ve come to realize the significance of allowing vulnerability by revealing your weaknesses at times. This opens up the opportunity for others to support you. In essence, we share the same perspective.” As Jonathan nodded in agreement.

In a moment of confession with Jennifer, Jonathan expressed, ‘Sitting here beside Jenn now, I feel truly understood. It’s liberating to share such personal feelings and make her aware of my stance. Interestingly, we seem to be climbing the same path. What’s more, she assisted me in moving forward, and the sensation was simply exhilarating.’

Jenn shares, ‘I have another point to make, but let me be honest: Jonathan and I have grown closer tonight. We’ve both gone through quite similar journeys, and I believe this could pave the way for an extraordinary future between us.’

In a heartfelt exclamation, I confess, ‘I feel as though our shared past, the intricacies of our upbringing, the connections we’ve forged through past relationships, and the lessons we’ve learned along the way have brought us closer than ever before. And so, with this sentiment in mind, my dear Jonathan, will you graciously accept this symbol of our bond? It is not just a rose, but a testament to the path that we are walking together.’ To which he responds with a warm smile, ‘Of course, I eagerly accept. This token signifies that we’re on the journey towards finding each other, and I aspire to be the man she seeks, to explore if the passionate love she yearns for is within my capacity to give her.’

They begin kissing when it starts raining, and continue passionately, as Jonathan expresses in his confession: ‘Today felt like a scene straight out of a romantic film.’ I’m overjoyed that she is the one sharing this experience with me. The perfect partner can sustain that romantic comedy love for as long as you both are together.

The following day, Jenn discusses her group outing with seven gentlemen, mentioning that four of them she previously went on individual dates with. She considers this gathering a great opportunity to determine if the connections from those encounters are still strong. After all, it’s about who will put forth effort today and who I’ll be paying attention to.

In his confession, Dylan admits, ‘The date card hinted at love being untidy, making me initially assume we’d be playing in the mud. But, ironically, I had just bought some brand-new shoes, and I didn’t want them getting dirty.’

Austin admits, ‘So far, all my dates have been in groups. Listening to these guys discuss her deeply with Jenn, I realize I haven’t had such connections. However, I plan to make the best of the chance I get. And remember, the chance I’m referring to is this group date.’

In a meadow, Jenn gathers with them, presenting some of her fresh acquaintances – a group that includes a bunch of playful, fleeing sheep.

Jenn shares that we’re visiting a sheep farm, where you’ll meet Dianne and Richard. They not only run this farm but have been happily married for more than four decades. Their harmonious work on the farm is a testament to their strong relationship. Today, they will demonstrate their methods for us.

As your trusted lifestyle guide, let me share some exciting news! Today, we embark on an intriguing journey to find our most exceptional farmer. And here’s the twist: by the end of this day, one lucky contestant will be granted a special opportunity – spending a bit more quality time with our enchanting Bachelorette.

In a confession, Sam M. shares, ‘Being raised on a farm has given me a lifelong connection with animals – whether they are cows or horses. To be honest, there isn’t much that I feel I can’t handle. So, I find myself in a very advantageous position here.’

As Richard’s dedicated follower, here’s how I’d rephrase his instructions: “Richard instructs us to move the sheep towards him. When he signals, it’s our turn to guide them through the wooden gate located in the right-hand corner. He emphasizes that we should do this precisely when he says so. Ready? Let’s get started.”

Instead, they dispersed with an attempt to round up the sheep, yet their efforts were short-lived due to the unruly behavior of the sheep.

Sam expresses that it appears you haven’t contained your 500 sheep, letting them roam freely without any structure or order. This results in a rather disorderly situation.

In his confession, Richard expressed that if given the chance, he would have initially unlocked the gate. He felt let down that the gate wasn’t opened because, had it been, the sheep likely would have quickly passed through.

Richard says, ‘It seems surprising that none of you considered opening the gate. After all, this is our livestock pen. There’s been a good deal of dirt and manure accumulated here due to the stock passing through. So, could you please fetch a shovel and a bucket each?’

Instead, none of the men seem particularly enthusiastic as they pick up their shovels and buckets… Meanwhile, Devin quietly approaches Jenn for a clandestine moment together.

In my personal reflection, I find myself admitting that my friends and I were laboring tirelessly, shifting heavy loads. Suddenly, our gaze ascended, and there it was – a shocking sight: Devin, our confidant, had allegedly betrayed us by stealing our beloved companions.

In this rephrased version, I’ve attempted to maintain the original meaning while making it more conversational and easy to understand:

As a lifestyle expert, allow me to share some practical advice: Here in your toolkit, you’ll find items perfect for removing debris from the rear area of sheep – often affectionately referred to as dingleberries. Quite amusing, isn’t it? The one who makes the most out of this situation gets a delightful moment with you later today.

Austin admits in his confession, ‘I believe I managed quite well with farming. Occasionally, we had to remove burrs from the sheep’s fur, if you catch my drift…from their, shall we say, underside. Sorting the wool, storing it in small containers, and tasting various types of milk were all part of the job. I can’t help but dream of hearing my name announced for the Best Farmer award. I feel like I deserve it given all that I’ve done today. All this effort was for Jenn, and I hope she recognizes it.’

Richard declared that Devin was the top farmer, but the other fellows felt irritated since they perceived that Devin wasn’t working as diligently as the rest.

Austin admitted in his confession, ‘It just doesn’t add up to me. It truly doesn’t, if you get my drift? Whenever I observed Devin, he seemed a bit out of sorts, chatting with Jenn frequently. So I believe he took home the prize for best talker today. But as for the best farmer award, I’m not so sure about that.’

Marcus admitted in his confession, ‘Today was quite intriguing since it reminded me that life isn’t just about skydiving, helicopter rides, or romantic outings. Instead, there will be days when you find yourself shoveling responsibilities, and today seemed to be one of those days. Yet, despite the challenges, we managed to keep things light-hearted with plenty of laughter. I hope we can maintain this positive vibe for our upcoming event.’

Back at the party, Jeremy asks, ‘Devin, you think you deserved farmer of the day? Honest answer.’

In simpler terms, when asked, Devin replied, ‘It seemed to be more about taking the initiative and continuing with what I’m accustomed to,’ and Jeremy responded by saying, ‘That’s quite revealing.’

In his confession, Devin admits, ‘Some of the guys are slightly envious that I was chosen as Farmer of the Day, but I’ve shared unique conversations with Jenn that I believe others haven’t had. Tonight, I really hope to receive the rose because these roses hold significance now. Jenn feels more for me than she does for you, and it’s becoming hard for her to hide. And you can no longer deny this.’

As I gather with my companions, I express heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional day spent amidst nature’s beauty. Wishing to focus on strengthening our bond, I propose that tonight be dedicated to appreciating why we choose each other and deepening our connection. Raising our glasses in unison, we toast to these shared moments.

Austin confessed, ‘Today was extremely challenging for me. You see, I’m one of the two men who haven’t had a private date yet. I’m the only one in this house who hasn’t received either a one-on-one or group date rose. There are so many guys here who seem to have a strong bond with Jenn, and I simply don’t share that connection. It’s really tough, and it’s not an easy situation at all.’

Jeremy shares a moment alone with Jenn and says, “It’s been a while since I had a mimosa, probably since my college days,” prompting her to wonder, “Were you part of a fraternity?”

He admits to being a member of AEPi (Alpha Epsilon Pi), while he continuously strokes her hair in an awkward manner as Jenn queries, “What are you doing right now? What is happening here? Why are you touching me all of a sudden?” Jeremy chuckles and explains, “I’m not quite sure what I was up to.”

Jenn queries, “Can you describe your college years?” Jeremy replies, “They were remarkably life-changing for me since I transitioned from being a rather overweight student in high school to…” However, Jenn doubts that he was overweight in high school.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: “I’ve been there myself, carrying extra pounds that made me feel less than ideal. It wasn’t about being obese, but definitely tipping the scales more than I’d have preferred. There was an undercurrent of insecurity and a sense of loneliness, even when surrounded by friends.”

When Jenn queries if he’s still experiencing feelings of loneliness, Jeremy admits something he’s never shared before: “I guess I harbor a quiet fear of solitude. You see, I feel as though I put a lot into relationships, and I worry that it won’t be returned, leaving me all on my own.”

As an avid fan, I am often asked about my apprehensions in romantic relationships, and here’s my take: Jeremy, what I dread is pouring my heart out to the wrong individual. I’ve had my fair share of experiences where I’ve given too much, only to be left hurt. When you invest everything into a relationship, and the other person doesn’t reciprocate, it slowly chips away at your trust and makes you want to protect yourself. Over time, these incidents can make one retreat emotionally.

Jeremy admitted in his confession, ‘I truly enjoy being with Jenn, and our conversation was a bit deeper than usual. However, this isn’t a bad thing. I feel incredibly comfortable around her, it’s enjoyable, and we always manage to make each other smile and laugh. Frankly, I couldn’t ask for anything better.’

As Jeremy poses the question, “Shall we synchronize, say, for instance…”, they begin to kiss. However, Jenn chuckles and responds, “Once more with the stroking, huh?”

In simpler terms, Devin says, “The real world feels more vivid when a rose is directly in view, as if the passing of the day makes everyone forget, but then… there’s a rose.”

Sam M. expressed, ‘With only nine men left in our group, it’s clear she’s linked to all of them. This implies everyone is potentially at risk. In other words, the dynamics have shifted significantly.’

Austin admitted during his confession, ‘Tonight, the topic of discussion was the group date rose. The person receiving it tonight will receive a significant portion of Jenn’s affections. This validation and reassurance can provide a great deal of confidence for the following week, potentially leading to hometown visits.’

Austin enters for a private chat with Jenn, mysteriously confessing, “I need to make a choice.”

Austin expresses, “From the start, I promised to be transparent and straightforward with you, and that’s exactly what I’ve aimed to do throughout. However, it seems like I’ve been playing catch-up this entire time. Honestly, I feel that way. You have an incredible group of men here who are prepared to give you everything you deserve. Unfortunately, given my experience so far on this journey, I don’t believe I can offer the same.”

Jenn queries his statement, to which he replies, ‘I’m expressing my belief that it’s unfair for both you and the others if I keep going on this journey with you.’

Jenn takes a moment to compose herself, then says, “Well, I must admit, this came as quite a surprise. Not at all what I anticipated or desired. However, if this is your decision, I can understand it and I’m ready to accept and respect it.”

In a candid moment, Jenn admitted her feelings as she said, “I wasn’t aware that Austin was planning to depart tonight. I didn’t realize he felt so low that he thought about leaving. It makes me wonder if I’m not providing adequate support. I desire to be sufficient for someone. And it appears I failed to meet Austin’s needs.”

As a devoted follower, I escorted Austin outside, and he shared with me, ‘Whenever you mention your husband being in that specific room, it’s indeed true. I sincerely wish you all the best, a sentiment that comes from the deepest part of my heart. Thank you immensely for… (the action or situation that led to this conversation).’

In confession, Jenn expresses her fear by saying, “Am I terrified in this situation? Absolutely. It’s as if I wonder, how many others are experiencing the same feelings that I don’t know about? Could Marcus, Sam M, or even Devin leave me next? Maybe they don’t find me adequate.”

A producer inquires whether Jenn has disclosed her feelings to them, to which Jenn responds, “I likely haven’t, because I believe it shatters the barrier I’ve built. It removes the veneer of confidence I project. And they appreciate that confidence, you understand, in a woman. I suspect it exposes the illusion of my greatness. If I reveal this to them, then they perceive me as insignificant,” while she begins to tear up.

She expresses, ‘Today, I seem to lack confidence in myself. I don’t think I’m…deserving enough. Despite my ability to envision a bright future ahead, I can also foresee a future where I remain unchosen by others.’

At home, someone inquires about the ‘Austin predicament.’ Dylan explains, ‘I share a room with him. He’s voiced his reservations. You see, I believe he hasn’t had much opportunity to explore their connection, and that’s why I think he’s been feeling uncertain about it.’

In the heat of confession, I find myself confessing, ‘With Austin departing, I can’t help but feel like I’ve dropped the ball and perhaps I’m not the one these gentlemen need. Anxiety and apprehension are gnawing at me as I ponder how to break this news to my fellow contestants. Reflecting on past relationships, I realize that my hesitance to open up fully has likely contributed to their demise. I’m not fond of exposing my vulnerable side, disclosing parts of myself that reveal my weaknesses and insecurities.’

Jenn walks in, shares with the group, “Today has been quite overwhelming for me, and I want to be completely open about my emotions. I believe it’s crucial that you understand this, as Austin spoke to me earlier and decided he couldn’t continue staying, so he departed tonight. Yes, I feel compelled to tell the truth. Today, I found myself grappling with feelings of inadequacy. You often compliment me on how well I’m doing, and it feels untrue at times.” Jenn’s voice quivers a bit as she speaks.

Jenn goes on to say, ‘I’m not sure, but today I felt overwhelmed with feelings of inadequacy. While I can vividly imagine a prosperous future in this space, I also envision a future where I find myself isolated.’

Jenn appreciates Jeremy’s sentiment when he says, ‘I find it courageous when people like you open up, revealing not just the happy and positive aspects, but also sharing your vulnerabilities. Frankly, it’s something I personally struggle with, so I commend you for having the strength to do what you’ve done.’

Sam M. expresses, ‘For the past few weeks, you’ve spoken about perceiving your partner in this gathering. On my behalf, and on behalf of everyone here, let me add that we also experience seeing our spouses here.’

In a confession, Sam M. admits, ‘I deeply care for Jenn. It’s not just about having parts of her; I yearn for her entirely – the good, the bad, and even the difficult aspects. I wanted to tell her that it’s okay to not always be your best, to allow some vulnerability.’

In that other room, I find myself pondering over a question posed by Jenn: ‘Does our interaction somehow alter the way you perceive me?’

He queries, “Why would you expect me to perceive you differently?” she replies, “I’m not sure. I usually present a bold, self-assured, and adventurous persona. When I suppress that, I believe people discover aspects of me that I’m not fond of.”

In simpler terms, Sam M. is asking, ‘Could you still care for me deeply even if I’m not always on my best behavior?’ To which he implies his response would be consistent with what it has been before.

According to Sam M., during his confession, he expressed, ‘It seemed like she overheard everything, and it was incredibly satisfying to observe her react as she did.’

During their private moment, Marcus expresses to Jenn, “If I can reflect a bit of myself onto you, so you can see how truly amazing you are, as I believe the real you far surpasses the image you hold.”

In a straightforward manner, Jenn communicates, ‘Whenever I consider someone dependable, it’s always you. I eagerly anticipate each of our conversations and shared moments, and I simply wanted to let you know this.’

In his confession, Marcus admits, ‘When she tells me I can lift her spirits or simply being around when she’s upset makes her feel better, I believe it because I sense it myself. It’s hard to see someone you care about struggling, but knowing that I play a part in transforming their negative emotions into positive ones is… quite extraordinary.’

During their private conversation, Devin tells Jenn, ‘I’m unsure about the experiences in your life that might have led you to doubt your worthiness of being chosen, but I genuinely believe you are deserving of so much more. If it isn’t me who demonstrates this to you, then someone here will.’

Jenn tells him, ‘Thank you for being here for me,’ as Devin says, ‘I couldn’t be anywhere else.’

In his confession, Devin admits, ‘I’ve held back expressing these words to her for some time. She truly deserves everything she discusses. It’s fortunate, you understand, that I managed to get a smile from her. And witnessing the return of light in someone’s eyes after a period of darkness felt fantastic.’

In confession, Jenn admitted that the night didn’t turn out as she had anticipated, yet somehow it turned out even better than she could have ever hoped for.

In a moment that felt almost insurmountable for me today, you all stepped up in the most extraordinary way by embracing me unconditionally – something I’ve never experienced before. Consequently, I can’t bring myself to distribute a rose tonight, such is my gratitude for your kindness and support. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for making this day exceptional, turning it around for me in ways I could have only dreamed of. I wish each one of you an amazing night ahead.

In her confession, Jenn expressed, ‘I found relief by revealing my true feelings and exposing an aspect of myself I usually keep hidden from the men. Their acceptance made me feel as if I’d shed a weight that had been weighing me down.’

The following day, Jenn strolls through Auckland, expressing in her confession, ‘I woke up today feeling significantly improved. I underestimated the impact Austin’s departure would have on me. However, being able to openly discuss everything with the guys last night and receiving their acceptance of my true self was incredibly liberating. It feels like a fresh start. I’m genuinely looking forward to my date with Grant today.’

According to her confession, Jenn reveals a strong attraction towards Grant, stating that he is quite appealing or handsome.

“She informs him that she’s thrilled about leaving the city and shares a surprise with him.”

In her confession, she admits, ‘There’s still a lot I don’t know about Grant. Today, I’d love to understand more deeply, you know, the essence of who he is, and discover if he truly recognizes the real me.’

They approached some horses, and Grant inquired about the group date. She replied, ‘I believe yesterday served as an opportunity for me to express feelings I’ve had for quite some time, which I needed to do. It was reassuring to have them received so warmly. Thank you for your concern.’

In his confession, Grant admitted he discovered Jenn had a tough day the previous day. He plans to brighten her day today by making her feel special, essentially sharing a part of himself with her. This involves expressing sincerity in his words and actions, as well as demonstrating his commitment to their relationship. In other words, he wants her to know that he’s fully invested and cares deeply about her.

She confessed to him that she had been somewhat anxious due to the ‘expectation,’ but then added, ‘And once I arrived, everything went smoothly, didn’t it?’

Grant tells her how good she looks on the horse and she tells him she wants to own a farm some day.

In a moment of self-disclosure, Grant remarks, ‘She exudes grace regardless of the circumstance. To put it simply, she’s got style and poise.’

In a moment of honesty, Jenn admits, ‘I’m currently filming a movie. This setting seems ideal for finding love. However, the truth is, this date carries a significant amount of pressure because last night made me appreciate the depth of some of my connections, and I’m hoping that Grant and I can reach that level too.’

They begin conversing during their small outdoor meal, and as it begins to drizzle, they draw closer and seek shelter beneath a shared umbrella.

In his confession, Grant admits he’s been eagerly anticipating the chance to draw near to Jenn and converse with her. Remarkably, on this ideal day, it begins to drizzle. In my view, it only enhances the date. After all, not every day will be perfect – sometimes it rains, sometimes it shines. However, one must persevere. That’s an essential part of maintaining a relationship.

In a gush of excitement, I tell him, “Grant, you know that amazing moment we shared last night? Well, it truly helped me to open up more than I usually do. I confessed my feelings to the guys and even admitted that I’m not always perfect – I have bad days too. But it felt so good, like a weight lifted off my shoulders.”

As someone who has been through my fair share of relationships, I wholeheartedly agree with Grant. Love is not about finding a perfect partner; it’s about accepting and embracing each other’s imperfections. It’s about recognizing that we are all flawed individuals and learning to love despite those flaws. When you can look past the imperfections and still find beauty, that’s when you know you’re in love. So, don’t waste time trying to be perfect for someone else; just be yourself and let them see the real you. That’s the only way to truly connect with another person and build a strong foundation for a lasting relationship.

In a heartfelt confession, Grant admitted, ‘It’s clear to me now that my feelings for Jenn have grown significantly. Every time I encounter her, my affection deepens even more. There might be another layer to our connection waiting to be discovered. I fervently hope she reciprocates these feelings. I’ll keep expressing myself openly. Fingers crossed, she recognizes the authenticity of my emotions. Here’s to seeing what happens next, and let’s hope this connection deepens further tonight.’

As a die-hard fan, I eagerly joined them for dinner, and I must admit, it was an extraordinary day. Jenn is simply fantastic, and the experience lived up to all my expectations. Yet, there’s more to uncover about her that she might not even realize. She knows some aspects of me, but she hasn’t yet glimpsed the depths of my soul—my connections with my family, my personal struggles, and the unique facets that make me who I am. What I yearn for is the chance to reveal myself fully to Jenn, to build a bond based on trust, understanding, and mutual acceptance.

As Grant puts it, today was flawlessly imperfect, and I couldn’t agree more. Just like any relationship, it’s never going to be perfect a hundred percent of the time.

Grant says he wants to tell her more about him and reveals that his father was an addict.

As a child of a long-term addict, I can attest to the complexities and heartache that addiction brings into one’s life. Growing up, my father was more than just a parent; he was my superhero, the one who took me to the park, and made everything seem possible. However, as the years passed, it became apparent that his heroism was tainted by an insidious enemy – addiction.

He shares that growing up, he often felt deceived, expressing frustration about his father’s inability to fulfill responsibilities despite being a man. However, before coming to this place, his dad had lost his job and was blaming others for his situation. The speaker expressed indifference towards these excuses, leading his father to enter rehab the next day. After their conversation, the father admitted that the son was seeing the real him for the first time when he wasn’t intoxicated. The man hopes his father will maintain his sobriety and continues to support him as he embarks on a new phase of life.

Jennifer remarks, “You know, I spent time in an emergency room, and I’ve witnessed many patients struggling with substance abuse. I believe addiction is a form of illness. The fact that you’re standing by your father during this difficult time speaks volumes about the kind-hearted person you are. It’s hard to fathom the burden you carried growing up amidst all that turmoil, and my compassion is with you.”

He expresses his gratitude and adds, “It truly means a great deal to me. I strive to become the kind of man my father wasn’t.”

In the confessional, Jenn expresses, “I feel significantly more connected with Grant now, as he shared about his difficult childhood. I believe he experienced a great deal of turmoil and frustration during his upbringing, which resonates deeply with me because I witnessed my parents’ relationship disintegrate.”

She expresses, ‘Growing up, I didn’t have a significant male influence in my life as my dad left and mostly disappeared. Consequently, my mother assumed both parental roles. This helps explain why I might not have had a traditional father figure and yearn for that role in some capacity.’

He asks, ‘Do you feel like that negatively affected you, or do you feel like it made you stronger?’ She says, ‘For a while, I was kind of going through life not knowing what to make of not having a father figure, and there were certain things in my life that had happened or certain ways that I would act, and I didn’t really know the root of the problem. And I was searching for love in all the wrong places and dating the wrong people. And before I knew it, I was in a relationship that completely was just toxic and an emotionally abusive one, and it just was not good.’

She delves further, expressing, ‘I felt muted and powerless. Discussions on sensitive matters such as racism, Asian hate, sexism, and more would ensue. He would dismiss me swiftly, insisting I was wrong and manipulating the truth by claiming that racism didn’t exist or it was a figment of people’s imagination. This contradicts my deeply-held beliefs. In retrospect, I was trapped in this relationship, unsure of how to assert myself. Now, it is crucial for me to be in a partnership where I feel empowered to express myself and defend my feelings.’

The Bachelorette: Jenn Tran REJECTS her ex-boyfriend before a shocking departure - as a preview teases that she REJECTS a proposal

Grant expresses, ‘I find your stance strong, and I sense a shared understanding between us. I value your voice and your willingness to express it, especially when it comes to issues like fighting racism or advocating for equality. It’s essential to have someone who resonates with you, someone who can motivate and support you. I want you to know that I stand by you in this.’

In a heartfelt confession, Jenn expresses, ‘Having such a deep, emotional discussion with Grant about significant matters and seeing him comprehend my perspective makes me feel we’re truly working as a team. What’s more, I sense he accepts me wholeheartedly, which is incredibly comforting. I find myself growing closer to Grant. Our thoughts seem to align. It seems Grant possesses qualities I long for.’

Jenn expresses gratitude to Grant, saying, “You’ve given me an extraordinary day, one I deeply appreciate. Many of the things you shared tonight resonated with me more than you might realize. Our conversation about our past and envisioning a future we both desire is quite rare and meaningful to me. So, Grant, would you accept this token of my appreciation?” To which he replied, “Certainly,” as she fastened it onto his clothing.

The Bachelorette: Jenn Tran REJECTS her ex-boyfriend before a shocking departure - as a preview teases that she REJECTS a proposal

As an over-the-moon fan, I can barely contain my excitement! If being on top of the world was already a dream come true, I’d say I’m now floating among the stars! I feel like a million dollars, and you can bet your bottom dollar that my smile will be plastered across my face for days to come. I’m just walking around, feeling as light as a feather, pure bliss washing over me.

Later in the evening, I find myself whispering in my confession, “As I stand here, eight men remain, yet six of them haven’t received a rose heading into tonight’s cocktail party. The tension is mounting swiftly. Every word spoken now matters immensely. It’s not just about the strong connections that are everywhere, but the uncertainty of it all is truly terrifying.”

Marcus admits, ‘Jenn must face a significant choice tonight, which makes everyone tense. It seems like the tension is high. Currently, two men in the house have roses – Jonathan and Grant. However, anyone who has interacted with Jenn this week and failed to express everything that was necessary realizes that tonight, one has to either take a stand or leave.’

In simpler terms, Grant conveys, ‘I find it surprising because usually, it doesn’t cross my mind that I could have feelings for someone after just five weeks of knowing them. But here I am, and I feel compelled to share this with all of you. To be honest, I believe I might be developing feelings for Jenn that are deeper than friendship. I don’t make such statements casually, you understand? It feels strange. It’s like being on a tightrope and then gradually losing your balance, and you start falling without realizing it until you’re already there – and then you try to back off, but it’s too late.’

In his confession, Grant admits, ‘Following our date yesterday, I began to realize I was growing feelings towards you. It suddenly struck me, “Wow! Is this love?” I’ve wondered before what causes someone to fall in love, and now I think I understand. So, at least for me, it’s a new experience. However, everyone is unique, so…’

In the spirit of openness and honesty, I wish to express my feelings openly to all of us here. What I’ve shared is sincere and unchangeable. Therefore, I stand before you with these words on my heart.

Dylan admits in his confession, ‘Oh, I see. It looks like Grant is developing feelings for Jenn. And you know what? Time seems to be a crucial factor here. Those who have had individual time together have built stronger connections, whereas I still feel like I’m lacking that deeper bond. To put it simply, I had a brief one-on-one encounter initially, but it was quite some time ago. Now more than ever, time is of the utmost importance for me.’

Devin expresses to the group, ‘I find that hard to take, don’t we all, given that everyone has their own feelings about Jennifer.’

The Bachelorette: Jenn Tran REJECTS her ex-boyfriend before a shocking departure - as a preview teases that she REJECTS a proposal

In my own words as a lifestyle expert, I confess: “Every rose on the chest carries a hint of apprehension, and the presence of Grant only intensifies the emotional atmosphere. To be honest, I haven’t had a one-on-one moment yet, but there’s something special about the brief conversations we share at cocktail parties with Jenn. So, I aim to make each moment count when I get the chance.”

Hey everyone! It’s truly a delight to be here with y’all. This past week has been quite a rollercoaster for me in various aspects. But, I just can’t thank each of you enough for standing by my side and showing up for me during these times. The other night when you all welcomed me wholeheartedly at my most exposed and emotional state, it truly touched my heart. It’s given me a fresh perspective on what genuine connections mean to me, and it’s reshaped the way I perceive this incredible journey. I’m absolutely certain that I’m right where I belong. I know exactly what I’m seeking. And because of that, I believe it wouldn’t be fair to proceed with a cocktail party tonight. So, I’ll catch you all at the rose ceremony!

As someone who has spent years in the hospitality industry, I’ve seen it all – from rowdy crowds to quiet evenings when the bar is empty. But there’s one thing that always seems to be a constant: the moment when the bartender says, “I need a drink,” and everyone else responds with “All dressed up and nowhere to go.” It’s a phrase that speaks volumes about the human condition – the desire for escape, the frustration of unmet expectations, and the universal longing to unwind after a long day. I can’t help but think about all the stories behind those words, and the countless lives that have been touched by the simple act of going out for a drink. It’s a reminder that we’re all in this together, searching for connection, meaning, and a little bit of relief from the daily grind. So here’s to the bartenders, the patrons, and the moments when we find solace in the simple pleasure of a well-made drink. Cheers!

1. Jeremy expresses, ‘Indeed, I was assured, but wow, I’m quite anxious now.’ Dylan shares, ‘Well, I guess I didn’t feel like I had fully conveyed what I wanted during our last talk with her, and I intended to wrap that discussion up tonight. This evening was particularly significant for me since I hoped to sense even a hint of a deeper emotional bond with her. So not having the chance to explore that is truly heart-wrenching.’

Spencer tells the gathering, ‘ frankly, it seems like you all expect these social events, almost as if they’re a given. That’s quite disappointing.’

In his confession, Spencer admits, ‘Besides wanting time for my relationship with Jenn, I also required this time to demonstrate to myself that I could openly trust someone and still be comfortable with vulnerability. Now, I’m concerned about returning home.’

In the open air, Grant expresses his feelings intensely, saying, ‘Things were genuinely terrifying, mate. Honestly, it all seems odd to me, buddy. I mean, I’m just confused.’

In a heartfelt admission, I find myself confessing tonight: I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m smitten, perhaps even head over heels. It’s an unfamiliar sensation, one I’ve never experienced quite so intensely before.

He adds outside, ‘I don’t know how she feels, and it’s like… You try to be, like, strong in a situation, but… Weird. It’s just weird, bro.’

In his confession, he admits, ‘I spoke it in front of everyone present, and now I can’t retract my words. I’m aware of that fact. I’ve exposed myself. And even though I have a rose tonight, I’m doing my best to keep composed. I’m thrilled, but anxious as well.’

As an ardent admirer, I confess that I didn’t foresee Jenn calling off our cocktail soiree. Honestly, who among us can claim they don’t feel a twinge of anxiety or concern lurking in their thoughts? Even when you believe the bond is unbreakable, there are always six other suitors, each with hopes pinned on a rose.

Dylan admitted in his confession, ‘I’m anxious. Tonight was crucial for us to deepen our bond, but I’m hopeful that Jenn understands the possibility of us moving forward together. So, I suppose we’ll let Jenn decide where things go from here.’

Sam M. expresses that in essence, this situation is simply how things are. He believes there are no more compassionate gestures left to offer. There’s no flexibility or leeway remaining. In simpler terms, it has arrived – one either possesses it or not.

Jenn enters and shares, “I’d like everyone to understand that I cherish every moment we share. The roses here hold greater significance than ever before. They represent my faith in us and the possibility of a love that’s truly beautiful.”

She distributes roses to Sam, Devin, Marcus, Jeremy, and lastly Spencer; Dylan, who says his farewells, is not included in the distribution this time around.

He hugs Jenn and tells her, ‘I wish you good luck, and I’m rooting for you.’
