I'm not a fan of Daisy but I will be happy it's her rather than Maria 

 

[dizzyd]

I’m going to pass if it’s Daisy unless they recruit some really good eye candy for me to make it worth watching. 

[ApprenticeFan]

According to Reality Steve, the identity of the next Bachelorette will be announced in After the Final Rose on next week's Joey's Bachelor season.

[dizzyd]

Well RS was way off. I’d have preferred Daisy. 

[ApprenticeFan]

It is announced that Jenn Tran from Joey's season has been chosen as the next Bachelorette.

First look of the potential contestants in Jenn's season

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=TheBachelorette&set=a.984385359719020

28 of them including Noah Erb's twin brother Aaron, who is competing, as it would expect some of them will be cut.

They cast an Asian-American woman and I see one (maybe 2, not sure) person who looks like he might be at least partly Asian among the suitors? This tells me Jenn was a very last-minute choice. I hope they pivot and bring in more Asian-American representation.  I wonder if Blake Killpack is still available. One of the hottest suitors ever (he was on in Rachel R's season, I think, but left early in the show).

[DEL901]

I will give the season a chance, but Jenn seems so vapid.   She was bored by the drones and thinks having guests do shots makes her cool and edgy.  

She is pretty, so a lot of the guys will like her. 

[rlc]

Hmmmmmm...vapid party girl who makes (bad) sexual innuendos. Choices were made.

[nickp1991]

ABC wanted Jenn (If Maria wants to be the Bachelorette, she can do that in Canada)

Sincerity seasons are great but a dizzy party girl vibe season wouldn't be the worse thing in the world for my viewing pleasure.

[DEL901]

Reality Steve has the F2 and winner posted.  But I can’t really get worked up over this season.  Although Charity was better than I expected.  

[ApprenticeFan]

Sam M has got the FIR according to Reality Steve.

[Kerri Johnson]

Allegedly, the final 2 have terrible pasts. All of the information has been deleted until the allegations can be confirmed.

At the top of my long list of complaints about this show is how hard they work to not do simple background checks on these people.  I remember thinking production HATED Becca Kufrin to surround her with guys like that, but learned later all they needed was a glamor shot and proof that they're not married.

I hope they need to do some health screening tests before entering the villa. With all this kissing I would like to know at least about herpes type 1 and before the overnight dates completed STD testing

I really hoped they would go with Rachel.  She is half Asian/ half Pacific and seems very pretty and adventurous. They owed it to her after making her jump and almost kill herself for the show.

More info

Marcus - sexual assault. It's sad that they will have to portray him as an American hero since he's the F2, despite him being pure evil. 

Sam M - 2 girlfriends before the show and left one right before production began

Devin -allegedly MAGA and a cheater, says the N-word 

Jonathon - seems to be fatphobic 

Edited July 15, 2024 by Kerri Johnson

[adhoc]

Fat-phobic is most of the men I know, especially those who are all about keeping themselves fit, into weight lifting, etc. And I would say a large number of the male contestants in TB franchise are into fitness / attractiveness. So if people want to cancel Jonathon for potentially being fat-phobic (if he is, since I have no idea), then the majority of guys on the show should be cancelled. In fact, you can be a guy who's totally out of shape and still be fat-phobic, I know a few...

And Marcus, Devin and Jonathon are F3.  Great taste Jenn.   Great vetting tptb.  

[alexa]

Google search says Jenn is engaged to Devin.  I think I am out if he goes that far as also indicated here.  No point in watching.

[LakeGal]

Jenn has really bad taste in men.  

[DEL901]

So, Sam M went on the show not wanting to win,,,,he had plans to officiate a wedding 6 days before the end of filming….probably figured he’d be around long enough to ge5 the Bachelor gig.  Instead he is getting a villain edit and he and his family are freaking out

Wait, what?!? I literally just posted before that I was getting vibes that Sam was going to ditch Jenn right before the end like Desiree and Brookes. I seriously hadn’t heard this first. Wild. You know how people practice a skill and become expert at it? All of my TV watching, I’ve become a Bachelor virtuoso. Lol.

Lol.  I saw your post.  You nailed the edit.  

And who’d have thought Devin wows so emotionally mature….im starting to see why she chose him and it seems like she made the right choice.  At least based on today’s episode.  

[call me ishmael]

Do we know if Sam does the ditching or does she send him home before he can.  I never saw the week by week.

Reality Steve has the week by week up and Sam  goes the week before Home Towns, but no details.

Thanks!  I never can handle reality Steve because of all the ads.

Finally, I will be able to watch Jen's season after the Olympics ended.

We need an eye roll 🙄 emoji on the forum. This season was doomed right from the start when at least 3 higher options turned down the gig and the selection of guys was a sea of red flags.
