- Whoo! - Oh, my God!
This is going to be a fun week, I think.
It's gonna be a great week.
Yep.
It is a new week here in Melbourne, Australia,
and I am feeling amazing.
There was a rose ceremony last night
so that leaves 15 of us.
So I'm feeling blessed to be a part of that 15.
There's probably going to be some group dates happening,
maybe a one-on-one happening.
So I'm just hoping this week brings more time with Jenn.
Maybe get another kiss in, man.
I'm-- I'm missing my girl right now.
I was really happy to see Jenn last night.
After a week of kind of some B.S. here and there,
last night was, for the most part, a good time.
I hope, as a group, we can all agree
that our focus does not need to be
beef with each other or issues with each other.
The focus should be Jenn.
Last night at the cocktail party, things escalated
and were taken to a level they didn't need to be taken
to between Sam M., Thomas, and Devin.
You pulled me aside and said, "I need to see you right now."
Shut the [bleep] up, bro.
I think everybody that was a part of that conversation--
Why are you speaking for everybody?
I've had conversations with everybody.
So, this week, I'm hoping
that we're able to set our differences aside
and make the most of the time that we have with this woman,
because she deserves it.
Guys, I got a date card.
Despite what happened with Thomas
and all the drama last night,
I am excited to go on a date with Jenn
because I am confident in-- in our connection.
It's real, and a lot of people, I think,
are just hoping it's real, but I know it's real.
I have a good feeling about Jenn,
and it's not just words with her.
It's-- it's body language.
It's the way she looks at me. You know?
It's the way that she looks at my lips when I'm talking.
So I know that there's a very real possibility
I'm going on this date.
"Spencer...
can our love take us higher?"
All right! Hey, there we go.
"Love, Jenn."
All right.
I'm on top of the freaking world right now.
All right, guys, I guess it's time
to go get ready for my date. I'll see you all soon.
Going into this date today,
I'm feeling excited, I'm feeling hopeful.
Jenn's special, and this could be the potential first date
with my future fiancée, so I can't wait to see her.
I'm elated that we're staying in Melbourne for another week.
This week, we have one one-on-one date
and two group dates.
And, today, I'm so excited
because I have a one-on-one date with Spencer.
Hey! How are you?
How are you doing?
How are you?
Since night one, Spencer's always been one
to be really attentive towards me.
And he has golden retriever energy, which I'm digging.
He brings out, like, a goofy side of me.
Like, I can be myself with him, and I love that feeling.
All right, so I have a really fun day planned for us.
Are you ready to find out what we're doing?
- Absolutely. - Okay. Let's go.
- We're doing something
that I've never done before,
but it's an exhilarating date and will definitely be romantic.
Surprise!
Serious?! Is this your first time--
Have you ever rode in-- - Never been in a helicopter.
Never been in a helicopter.
So, today, my hope is that he continues to put me first.
- Yeah, ma'am. - Thank you.
Yes, of course.
Because that's what I've been missing from past relationships.
And I'm hoping, by the end of the day,
I can truly see him as someone
that I would want to spend my life with.
Take it-- grab-- There we go.
- Thank you. - Uh-huh.
And then we got this one over your right shoulder.
Oh, perfect.
Aah! I don't know if I like - - Oh, don't worry.
We're here for it. We're here.
Taking off in my first helicopter ride,
I did get a little bit of nerves,
but, you know, Spencer's right there
and makes me feel comfortable.
Wow.
It's so pretty.
It's gorgeous.
Melbourne is a gorgeous city from up above.
A guy and a girl in a helicopter in Melbourne.
But I have a big surprise.
We're going out of Melbourne along the
Great Ocean Road to the 12 Apostles.
It's one of the most beautiful places in all of Victoria.
This is so pretty. - Oh, my gosh.
I don't know if it gets any better than this.
Aah!
We're in a helicopter, and I got Jenn with me?
That's the biggest win a guy can get. I'll take it.
Watch this.
Hot. - Hot, uh-huh.
- That was really hot. - I try to do what I can.
I'm just excited to spend more time with Jenn.
And, today, I want to show her the man I am
and what I have to offer
and the man I'd be in a marriage.
- This is gorgeous. - A toast to a beautiful woman,
a beautiful view, and a beautiful future.
- Cheers. - Cheers, cheers.
Oh, my God, we're approaching the 12 Apostles!
This is crazy. - This is insane.
How does that even form?
This is so surreal.
We're flying over the 12 Apostles,
which is these beautiful limestone cliffs
that I've never seen before in my life.
Oh, look at that!
But with all this beautiful scenery,
my main focus right now is this woman to the left of me.
This is the best day ever.
I know. It is.
Spencer, he put my seat belt on for me,
he pours my champagne for me.
And, you know, Spencer's been a safe space for me all day,
and I'm excited to see what tonight brings,
because this is a feeling that I want to stay in.
Like, this is what I want.
Do you think Spence is gonna get a rose?
I hope he does well,
and then I hope Jenn makes the best decision for herself.
- Yeah. - I always boil it down
to the fact that, like, if Jenn is happy
with who we are as people and keep us here
for this reason, like, who is anybody else to judge?
Devin's an instigator, man.
We've known that. You know, like, yo,
let's keep the main thing the main thing.
We've said it a million times.
Devin is a guy that likes to talk about other people
as well as himself. Like [bleep] Devin.
I don't like him at all, so why would I want to align myself
with someone who has nothing in common with me?
He's just an ankle-biting dog, you know?
And if I see in Jenn what I really think I see,
there's no way that she can really grow
with a guy like Devin
and a guy like me at the same time.
- Preach. - I'm always gonna keep
the main thing the main thing.
My main thing is Jenn.
As long as we can continue to keep the focus on her
and not the little ankle-biter,
you know, that's nipping at my heels,
we're gonna be just fine, man.
There's no doubt in my mind
I'm at the end of all of this with Jenn.
So Devin isn't worth a second of my breath or my energy.
He's smooth with his words and, like, I'm smooth with these.
Okay. Okay. How cool is this?
Like, take it in. - I know.
Up until this dinner, I've been so excited for every moment
because every moment's been fun banter,
it's been cocktail parties and helicopter rides.
So pretty. Wow.
But going into this dinner, I'm nervous for the first time.
Thank God I'm wearing a black suit because I'm sweating.
Thank you.
Tonight, I'm planning to share something
that... it's not easy for me to share.
To finding that ferocious love. - I like that.
Cheers. - Cheers.
It's not easy for me to be vulnerable.
So I hope that I can find the courage in myself to open up.
I think it's been such a surreal day,
but, like, when you take it all away,
like, the most surreal part for me
has been how amazing you've been all day.
You're just, like, such a gentleman.
And, for me, it's really about the little things and, like,
you know, opening the door for me
and helping me with my seatbelt.
And you've just, like, really made me feel cared for today.
And that's not something I feel a lot
in a lot of my relationships.
I think I've had a lot of really toxic relationships.
And I want to let you know,
like, how grateful I am that you were here today.
That definitely resonates with me a lot,
um, in like, past relationships that
I've been in where I--
I really have lost myself a lot. - Mm-hmm.
In what ways?
Yeah. So I-- I've been engaged before.
- Okay. - Uh, we...
bought a house together. It was like--
I, like, saw that as my future, you know?
And, one day, it's like two months before the wedding.
We picked the venue, done all the stuff,
and she came back from a trip
and ended up grabbing some stuff and saying, "I need to--
I need time to think about things.
I'm-- I'm going to my parents' house,"
and I'm sitting there, and I'm trying to--
"Okay. I'm going to try to give you your time."
In the same regard, I'm like, this is my future.
This is what I think, uh, is going to be the rest of my life.
- Right. - So I'm--
I'm a little stressed. And then, one night,
I'm sitting there, my mind's racing.
I can't fall asleep, and it's like, 3:00 a.m.
I started uncovering things
that, you know, there was cheating.
And, to this day, still don't know the extent of it.
When I found out that my ex was cheating on me,
it was dark for a while.
I didn't know when the sun was coming up.
It was a hard punch to take.
It was really hard to be able to get back up after it.
The worst was sitting in it and having to acknowledge the fact
that someone that I had,
like, this complete trust in, I was betrayed.
- Right, right. - And, um...
it was rough for a little while...
- Yeah, yeah. - ...like, after that,
because I was kind of just left to-- to pick up the pieces.
Um, sorry that you had such a-- a traumatic experience
with your previous relationship. I can sympathize with you.
Do you feel like, I guess, like, after your engagement,
like ending, is there an inherent, like,
distrust that you have,
or, like, do you feel like you're at a place in your life
where you're ready for an engagement again?
Or is that something that kind of scares you now?
Yeah, no, that's totally fair.
I-- It took some time after everything ended for me
to get to a place where I could see that relationship
for what it actually was. And now, more than ever,
after being able to learn everything about myself
that I have over the past four years,
yes, I'm very ready.
Yeah. Does anything about it scare you at all?
It doesn't scare me.
Like I said, I-- I jump in 100%,
especially when it comes to love.
I'm more ready than ever to be engaged again,
to have my person, to start my life,
and start building something with someone
and have that person that's in my corner
and I'm in their corner and it's us against anything
and everything in front of us, and I'm-- I'm ready.
No, I love that about you. And I felt that about you today.
I felt like you were so open today.
And so, I don't know, you were just great with me,
and I'm excited.
I feel like today has been a surreal day,
and I think tonight what it really showed me
was we can be our most authentic selves with each other,
and to be able to share things
that we don't normally share with other people.
And I'm really excited.
So, Spencer, will you accept this rose?
- Always. Absolutely. - Okay.
I'm feeling on top of the world.
I feel the best I can remember feeling
in a long time. To have this rose
as a token of Jenn acknowledging what I've been through
instead of turning away,
it feels like a sign of acceptance.
- It's gorgeous, no? - Wait.
After tonight, I feel more hopeful than ever
that this could result in me
getting down on a knee again and--
and being engaged.
- We had a really good day. - Yeah.
What do you think?
Oh, my gosh.
I'm feeling so happy.
Spencer and I have had similar experiences,
in the fact that we've been with the wrong people,
and maybe because of that, you know,
we're able to be so comfortable with each other.
And that's the type of feeling
that I want in my forever person.
He just has shown up for me so much, and it's our first date.
Like, I can't imagine where else this could go.
Whoo!
Date card, guys. Date card, date card.
I hope it's me on this date card
because I feel like me and her, we already connect.
The chemistry's there, compatibility's there.
So I would love a one-on-one with her.
Dylan.
Marcus.
Thomas A.
John M.
Grant.
Jonathan.
Sam N.
Thomas N.
Sam M.
Devin.
"I'm looking for a love Down Under. Love, Jenn."
- Ay. - Hmm.
Damn. That is a big group of us right there.
- It's a lot. - It's a lot of guys.
I'm not real thrilled to be on the group date with Devin,
but I'm very confident in my relationship with Jenn.
I don't see any other guy here
getting engaged here other than me.
Time to get ready for the group date.
Go, man. Devin, best of luck,
and look out, because if it's a competition,
I'm gonna step on your neck. That's all I know.
I'm feeling very excited for this group date.
I'm feeling refreshed going into today.
You know, I had a really incredible connection
with Spencer last night. And, you know, all week,
all I've been craving is some connection,
so it's nice to start the week off strong.
And I'm excited for that to continue today.
Sheesh!
So the date card said,
"I'm looking for a love Down Under,"
and I wish Devin wasn't on this date.
But I think at the end of the day, it's going to be a test
to see who can keep the main thing, the main thing.
So my main focus is my relationship with Jenn.
Let's go. Baby, let's get it.
Going on this date with Sam and Thomas,
it sucks being with those guys,
but I don't care what they think,
because most importantly,
I would love to get a group date rose.
So I'm gonna put my best foot forward,
and I'm gonna make sure that we have a good time.
Whoo!
We're at the Forum Theater in Melbourne.
Jenn is looking phenomenal.
Hello.
- Hello. - How are you?
But I don't know what we're going to be doing.
I'm hoping we do Broadway.
The boy can, uh, have some choir in him,
so I feel like I can definitely be a possibility. I'm stoked.
Alright, are we excited? Are you guys excited?
- Yeah. - Hell yeah.
Today we are at the historic Forum Theater in Melbourne,
and I'm such a fan of performance.
Like, I really like theater and dance
and art and ballet and all these things.
So I thought today, we'd really check out a performance
from a local talent group. What do you guys think?
Yeah. Oh, yeah, I love that.
Hit it.
Ohh!
Let's go, baby.
All of a sudden, I see these guys
walking out all sexy and stuff.
Oh, my-- Oh, no. Here we go again.
Here's something insane.
As soon as I see these guys onstage,
I'm thinking we're gonna have to strip today.
So definitely way out of my comfort zone.
These sexy guys come out.
Whoo! They're flexing.
Their pecs are bouncing.
And it's making me feel extremely nervous.
So, these are my new friends,
the iconic Australian Thunder from Down Under,
based in Las Vegas,
here today to help me plan a really special date.
Obviously, being performers
for Australia's Thunder from Down Under,
we know exactly how to get bachelorettes excited.
So today, we want you to prove
that you've got what it takes to be with Jenn.
And tonight you get your chance to shine
in The Bachelorette's Love Down Under show.
I am mortified when I find out what we're gonna be doing.
I didn't come here to strip. I came here for love.
So we're gonna go over a few of our favorite moves
and try and teach you a few of them.
So you want to start with your chest,
come back down and roll it down.
And you can pretend to hold onto something.
That might help get a roll going like that.
Yeah.
I actually have seen male strippers before,
and I've been taking notes.
There's many variations.
You know, you could pretend you're grabbing someone
and rolling on it like that.
Ahh. Yeah. Mm, Thunder from Down Under, yeah.
Does anyone know what a dolphin dive is?
Up.
Oh!
There's really not anything that I won't do.
I don't have any shame.
And I don't really care about everybody else,
especially Devin.
Oh. Buckle up.
Oh, no.
Oh, that is way-- That is way too much body control.
Send it, send it.
I'm definitely nervous.
This isn't going to be, like, my strongest suit.
So I'm going to just keep going in,
trying to make Jenn laugh in the best ways possible
and find those little moments where I can make that connection
because I want her to feel like she's the main priority for me.
I mean, I think that she knows that.
I think she can sense it when we see each other.
I don't know how to do this one today.
Send it. - Wait, never mind, never mind.
This hurts. In front of Jenn, I screwed up my wrist.
Maybe not let this be the first Persian
that tries to strip and dolphin dive.
It was good. It was good.
I feel bad because I didn't want anyone to get hurt.
I want them to have fun today.
That's what this is really all about.
But as a woman, you know,
it's important to know what's down under,
down under their hearts, okay?
Whoo! - Okay!
Good. This is awesome.
This is putting ourselves on the line
and something fun and exciting.
Whoo!
Okay, Devin. - Terrible.
The quality of Devin's relationship with Jenn is
nothing compared to what I have with her,
and I think to be able to express confidence in an area
like this is going to-- is going to speak volumes.
Oh!
I mean, I think right now, Sam M. and I
have a very palpable sexual tension.
Somebody get me a towel.
So now it's time to prepare for your performances.
But most importantly, there is going to be one winner,
and they're going to be crowned Mr. Love Down Under.
But there's a catch. Out there tonight,
there is going to be a live audience of screaming fans.
So now I'm making myself look like a fool, not only to Jenn,
but in front of the world. I'm screwed.
Listen, guys, I'm not looking for the best striptease.
I'm not looking for the best abs.
I think what today is really all about
is showing your personality
and really stepping outside of your comfort zone.
It's gonna be hard. It's gonna be a lot.
But I'm so excited to see you guys kill it.
Let's go backstage, pick out a costume to match your persona.
And most of all, let's have a bit of fun.
Hot, hot, so hot.
Where those outfits?
So today we're going to have a bunch of women
coming and checking us out,
and we're going to be dancing for a live crowd.
Oh! This is me. Yep, let's do it.
Does anyone know how to put overalls on?
I'm excited because working out is my therapy,
and I'm often in session.
Okay, gentlemen, don't forget,
protective cups are mandatory.
Here we go.
Wait, can I get my phone so I can--
See if this looks right.
I genuinely see something with this girl.
And Jenn's going to look for commitment to the performance.
I mean, best case scenario in general is that she loves
that I'm willing to put myself out there and have fun,
so hopefully she likes it.
Oh, yeah, boy! Oh, yeah!
So it's your thumb? Yeah.
Damn, bro. I'm sorry.
I strained my right-- my right thumb.
And now I have to dance in front of a crowd.
And it has nothing to do with my true purpose
of what I'm here for.
I'm, like, here for love. That's purely it.
Bro, if you're gonna do it, do it.
The last time I talked to her,
she said, "You make me flustered."
So I'm Chef Fluster, and we're going to be cooking it.
We're going to be getting a little saucy in there today.
Whoo! How you feeling, dude?
Like, I'm scared as Like, I'm so scared.
This is absolutely my worst nightmare.
I was a fat kid growing up. I'm going out there.
There's hundreds of people. I don't have abs.
I don't have big biceps. Like, I have a hairy chest.
I definitely don't have the body for, uh, for this.
And the fact that there's going to be a full crowd,
apparently, is definitely going to be
the most nerve-racking thing I've ever done.
But, you know, I'm doing what I need to do for Jenn,
so I'm not going to walk away from the challenge.
I don't know. Something like that.
Ah. Ah.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome
to The Bachelorette's Love Down Under show!
And of course, we can't forget our esteemed judges
for the evening. Please, a warm round of applause
for Australia's sister bachelorettes, Becky and Elly.
G'day, America. My name is Elly,
and this is my sister Bec.
And we're former Australian bachelorettes.
And we're here to help Jenn today.
- I'm so excited. - Oh, I can't wait.
Let's get ready to thunder!
Please welcome the gentlemen of the evening!
They're so cute!
The energy's good.
I know there's a few people that are a little nervous,
but I'm pumped. I can't wait for this.
I think this is going to be a big step
for my relationship with Jenn.
And Devin is definitely gonna see a very big
Chad-ish moment right here, and I can't wait for it.
It is time now to show why you deserve
to be crowned Mr. Love Down Under.
My heart is racing. I'm super excited.
Please welcome to the stage, Dylan.
He is a C-E-make you-O.
- Oh! - Oh!
Okay.
Oh, my God!
He is the CEO. Yeah.
Jenn, she not ready for this. She not ready for this.
I have a surprise for her.
- Whoo! - Okay.
Tonight, I'm excited to see
who's gonna rock the stage with some confidence.
And I'm looking for someone who's gonna be comfortable
in their own skin and is gonna be playful with me.
There's no way he's doing pink thong.
Oh, my gosh.
Holy
I'm already Mr. C-E-make her-O,
so let's just add to the title Mr. Love from Down Under.
Next up is Marcus. He's an astronaut.
Please welcome Neil Realstrong.
My whole life, I wanted to be an astronaut.
And today we're just doing sexy astronaut.
Dreams come true.
Okay.
Marcus looks like an absolute pro.
Rocking the astronaut helmet.
I was like, what the hell is going on here?
You know, after our one on one date,
I didn't know if Marcus had that spicy side to him, and he--
He really surprised me today.
Let's hear it for Tomas A.,
the snake whisperer.

Yeah.
How'd that feel?
Boy, like I'm in my element, baby.
I just let it ride.
I know that I stole the show in her eyes.
So mic drop, bitch.
It's now time for Devin,
otherwise known as the Dirty Detective.
I'm freaking out. I am nervous.
I don't think my body's like a 10 out of 10.
But I'm doing this because I care about Jenn.
And I'm gonna just believe that Jenn is gonna love me
for who I am, and that's what I'm gonna hold true.

Devin's got big [bleep] energy.
He's got his butt out, and his leg is up on Jenn.
He's thrusting in her face. He brought it.
Oh, my gosh.
Get some water.
Devin's insane, but gotta admire the confidence
'cause he didn't hold back for one second.
Hell no.
Oh, my God, dude.
He's a clown. I love it.
He's so himself. He's so himself.
I'm really nervous right now.
This is something very outside of my comfort zone.
But whether I look like a fool in front of the crowd or not,
um, I-I feel-- I feel good.
Next up now, we've got Sam N., ladies and gentlemen,
the Love Virgin.
- Alright. - Sam N.!
Let's go, Sam!
Yeah, Sam!
Cut the music. Cut the music.
Let's go. Cut the music.
- What? - Oh.
- Jenn. - Oh, hi.
I know you want us to bare it all,
but I'm here to bare my soul.
From the moment I first saw you, I knew you were different.
Um, you make me feel confident. You make me feel secure.
I see myself getting on one knee for you.
Jenn, I'm already falling in love with you.
Yo.
Oh. We were all stunned.
We were all shocked. There was kind of--
You could hear a pin drop.
That's it. Okay.
A big hand for Sam N., everybody.
Wow.
I think that caught everybody off-guard.
Come on, baby. Boom.
Sam N.'s dropping the "L" bomb on Jenn,
that's just intense. I'd say that's premature,
but he also claims that he's never been in love,
so maybe he doesn't know what that's like.
Alright, ladies, you feel like you've made a decision?
Sorry, sorry. Yes.
Feeling like I just poured my heart out,
and I feel like a fool right now. I feel pathetic.
I just feel like I'm being judged.
But, Jenn, she is the girl I'm starting to fall in love with.
And the title
of Mr. Love Down Under goes to...
Jonathon!
Come on up!
Let's hear it for the fellas tonight.
This is just crazy,
because I don't find much credibility
in the words coming from Sam N. tonight.
And it's easy to question if he really even understands
what that idea of that ferocious love really looks like.
So that bothered me.
And I think to everybody else, it was just a bit disrespectful.
So we'll see what happens later tonight.
♪ Don't wanna hold back ♪
You guys killed it. I was seriously so impressed.
And, you know, I asked you guys to bare it all,
and you guys really bared it all.
But the most important thing that you guys bared
was your hearts today. And, you know, I'm excited.
Like, we had such a lighthearted and fun day today.
But I'm excited to, like, dive deeper tonight
and to really continue our connections.
- Cheers to that. - Cheers.
Cheers to that.
Today, all in all, it was fun as hell.
We all went for it.
But Sam N. really put himself out there
by professing his love to Jenn.
A lot of us thought it was a bold move,
but it's his bold move.
It's-- We're not here to worry about him.
We're here to worry about Jenn.
And tonight, I hope that I get the rose.
I mean, I already got one trophy today.
Let's shoot for one more, and let's see how this night goes.
How you doing? I'm good.
How are you doing, Mr. Down Under?
- I'm great. - You killed it today.
Thank you. I know I'm working with limited time here.
Time? What are you talking about? It's just us.
And I don't-- And I don't want to put you on the spot
when somebody else comes here. - Who?
I don't know. Whoever comes to try and--
I thought it was just us tonight.
Whoever comes and tries to interrupt us,
I just don't want to put you in that situation.
- Mm-hmm. - And I just want to get it
out of the way first real quick.
How'd y'all like my ass?
Not even a little bit, brother.
Not a little bit? Not even a little bit?
You wore the confidence, but--
You left nothing to imagination, bro.
Hell yeah. Sure.
Today was fun. But to be honest,
I would have rather done 10 million other things
than dance around in a thong.
I have this image of myself that is, you know, strong
and can take any punch.
You know, it wasn't like that for me in that moment.
It was not. I mean, you could have blown
and I would have fallen over. Like, it was--
It was that deep for me in that setting.
I'm surprised you recognized me with all my clothes on.
I hope I can, you know, elaborate on that feeling
with her a little bit more, and she, you know,
kind of gets to listen, to that side of me
because not a lot of people get to hear that.
So how's your night been? - It's been great.
How's your night been? - It's been fantastic.
- Yeah. - I mean, you look great.
- Thank you. - The day was absolutely
insane for me, for more than one reason.
That was something-- - Tell me all the reasons.
Well, I mean, for me, getting...
into this dancing mode was, like, a really big deal for me.
And, like, um, growing up,
I was a pretty heavy kid, like, like,
and I had a lot of insecurities about my weight and, um,
about, you know, how I looked and who I was.
And it was like a, almost like I didn't want to look at myself
in the mirror type situation, right?
And, you know, I worked really hard to, you know, change that.
And, but I'd be lying to you if I said it doesn't still,
like, come up, you know, every now and then in my mind, so.
That makes sense. It makes sense.
So that was like a, another thing
that I just wanted to thank you for
was like giving me that confidence to, like,
forget about myself in that moment.
Do you feel better after?
- After doing the dance? - Yeah.
Oh, yeah. It was like I let it all out there, you know?
I looked at you in that moment. I saw the smile.
I was hoping it was out of a pure joy smile.
It was, it was, it was.
I really don't know how I could have done it
if it wasn't you. Kiss you?
Devin really surprised me tonight.
He comes off as this confident, like, so himself character,
and I've always loved that about him.
And tonight, he really shined in telling me something
that he struggles with. I love seeing that side of him,
because I think we always have a goofy, playful relationship.
But to be able to peel back those layers a little bit,
it's just such a special moment.
What would the rose mean to you tonight?
It would truly mean a lot. But at the same moment,
I can't get past the judge--
Like there's-- It's an insecurity, right?
Like this judgment insecurity where it's like,
even if I get it, I feel like there is
going to be some sort of pity judgment, right?
Today, Sam completely stopped the show
to be able to profess his love.
Did I feel like it was a little premature for Sam
to come out there and say that? I definitely did.
Did I take offense to it? I sure did.
After you. There you go. Thank you.
There is a time and a place,
and I think everybody can agree that that was not the time,
nor the place, and nor the moment, as well.
I want to apologize
for being the corniest guy in the room.
Like, there's stuff about me that it's like,
this is like a very new process.
I don't even know how to hold your hand, to be honest.
Like, there's some things where it's like, if I hold your hand,
I'm thinking about, like, holding your hand,
if I'm holding it too tight.
But, um, at the end of the day, I want you to know that,
like, you're making me feel a special type of way.
And maybe I could have said it a little bit better and--
Stop discrediting yourself, because--
- I appreciate you. Thank you. - Because I think you should
stick to what you said. And I love that you're sharing it,
because I think in a relationship,
you always have to be honest about
where you're at and how you're feeling.
So I don't want you ever-- to ever feel, like,
ashamed of ever telling me how you feel.
- No, of course. - Like, I want to hear
those things. I think that's what makes
a relationship honest.
- Of course. - Yeah.
Sam N. tells me that he was falling in love
with me earlier today. And these are some big,
big statements to be making so early on.
It does feel very early, but it also feels kind of good,
'cause at the end of the day, I am here for love
and to find my person. And for him to be feeling
all these things already makes me feel reassured
that this journey is working for me.
It's tough to think that with Sam N.,
somebody that's never been in a relationship,
that's never had a girlfriend, can truly understand,
you know, what love looks like.
So yeah, obviously my initial reaction is what was that?
It's not-- Yeah, it's not a time nor place
for him to tell Jenn that he's in love.
What the Because that is ludicrous.
I'll take a vodka soda with cranberry.
Sam M. and Thomas N.,
I knew they couldn't let the night go by
without snickering or whispering
or doing, you know, what they do best.
Sam N., you know, it's not bad for him to feel how he feels
because he's never been there. And for them to judge
was really, really low in my opinion.
You know, I look at Sam like a little brother.
So I do have that protective, like, mentality
when it comes to him, and I'll go to bat for his ass.
And it's not an act, it's who I am.
So hell yeah. This is going to go down.
b
Close your eyes. I want to peek.
Open. Dr. Chocolate...
- Ooh! I love that. - ...has some chocolate.
Okay, I actually love chocolate.
Yeah?
Hey, fellas. What's going on, brother?
So... Uh-oh.
I just wanted to address the elephant in the room.
Um, some things were said that I don't want to say
were in the moment, because I am feeling some type of way.
And just because I used the word love,
I feel like it devalues what I was trying to say
from the entire context.
I feel pathetic and, like,
the thing is, could I have said it better?
Yes. It's starting to fall in love, right?
Not in love or already in love.
You don't need to backtrack any way you feel,
and I don't think you need to explain to anybody here.
You have no reason to feel sorry for what you do and who you are,
and you deserve to feel how you feel.
And anybody, anybody
that decides that that's not right has their own issues.
Okay? When Sam was talking, Sam M. and Thomas N.,
these dudes are laughing and looking down,
looking anywhere but him in the face.
And they want to talk about this whole mutual respect thing
or this, "I'm such a stand-up guy." It blows my mind.
These guys really need to get a reality check.
I think I'm a little more soft-spoken than you.
Um, I'm not going to be the first one
that speaks in the room.
Everything that I kind of do, I mean what I say.
You throw words around like mutual respect,
and I clap for you even though I don't want to.
I smile at you even though I really don't want to.
So then why do you smile, and why do you clap?
Because I'm a-- Because I have, what's that word?
Mutual respect? - I have no respect for you.
Hold on. Let me pull out my line.
Best foot forward is what I'm trying to do. My bad.
You know, I always keep it real.
I just ask that you keep it real with me, you know?
Not-- Not with each other. I get that.
You guys keep it real with each other, and that's fair.
But you guys whisper too much. - Mm-hmm.
You guys are chatterers.
You say mutual respect, but you don't believe that.
When you say the words come out of your mouth--
No, look, and-- Look, I have tried--
Answer the question. You think you got respect for us,
yes or no? Okay. A'ight. A'ight. - I would open the opportunity.
I'm [bleep] talking to a clown like this. Answer the question.
A clown? Clown. No, no, no. Hold on.
Uh, I've definitely-- - Yes or no?
I've definitely tried to take the high approach with you,
definitely, Sam. Definitely with you.
That's fine. I just, I ain't got nothing to say to you,
so I'm just leaving it at that.
All the whispers and the chatter is really--
That is a lot of whispers. Y'all do whisper a lot.
Bro, let me finish, dawg.
At the end of the day, man, long story short,
I don't respect you. I got nothing to say to you.
We are not going to be friends.
I don't want to be friends with people like you.
At the end of the day, I'm-a leave it at that.
Like, you're not gonna rile me up, get the best of me.
And I would just hope you just don't talk to me.
I ain't got nothing to say to you.
Don't expect nothing from me.
Let's just leave it at that.
Now we've got it out. Alright.
That's wrap. - That's wraps.
- Cool. - Mutual respect.
Absolutely--
You have to have the last word. Like, you are a child.
You are a child. You have to have the last word.
Hey, hey, no, no, for real, leave it. Leave it.
Leave it. Leave it, dawg. It'll get handled.
Like I said, man, the night that he doesn't get a rose,
it'll all get handled, dawg.
Devin is a bully. I will continue to preach it.
He's a bully. He's just somebody
that's going to talk over you
and continue to try and make you feel bad.
You know, I've continued to preach
keep the main thing the main thing.
My main thing is my relationship with Jenn.
And I'm confident enough in my relationship to know that,
hey, I'm not going anywhere,
and I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.
- You were bold up there. - Yeah. Did you like my name?
Yes, I did. I don't make you flustered.
No, you just-- You just bother me.
Oh, shut up. Where-- What line-- Where--
What movie did you get that from?
I wouldn't be doing this if you didn't bother me.
Sam M. and I have a very physical connection right now.
There's just something there and I don't know what it is,
and I want to figure it out.
You haven't asked me to be your girlfriend yet.
Oh, my goodness, I haven't. Hold on, hold on.
Hold on. Wait. Should I-- - What are you doing?
- How do you want me to ask-- - What are you doing to me?
Do you want me to ask you like--
Oh, my God. Sa--
Sam, what are you doing?
Stop this madness.
- Will you, uh-- - Ugh.
- Will you be my girlfriend? - No, not like this.
- No? - No, not like this.
Alright. Here. Hold on. Let me try this again.
- What? No.
What are you doing?
You're crazy. You are crazy.
Whenever I see Jenn, the chemistry is very apparent.
Will you be my girlfriend now? - Maybe.
You just fall into that moment right there,
and you forget about all the outside noise.
You're bad news. At the end of the day,
if I get a rose, it's going to be a testament
to moving our relationship in a forward manner,
and that's really all I care about.
It's going to suck if I don't get the rose. I'm tired of,
like, being at the rose ceremony
like, shaking in my boots, spine tingling,
waiting to see what's going to happen next.
This is huge. It says a lot
about the type of man that she's leaning towards.
Um, today was a huge day about all of us getting uncomfortable
and we all got uncomfortable today.
Hey!
Oh, yeah.
I hate that you guys can hear me from so far away.
I'm gonna scooch in the middle here.
How has everyone's night been so far?
- Fantastic. - Been chill. - It's pretty good.
It's been a long day, but a really fun day.
That being said, you know, today was really all about confidence.
And I think this rose goes to someone who I know is confident,
but showed me a little bit something different tonight,
and I appreciate those layers.
So...
...Devin, will you accept this rose?
Absolutely.
Mm, thank you so much. - Of course, of course.
Man, everything that I wanted to feel
came to life right there.
- Hugs? - Oh, the biggest.
Obviously, we got to a deeper level I think today.
Um, that was a huge step for me.
I'll see you guys soon.
- Good to see you. - Bye!
I opened up in ways
that I didn't really think that I would,
and the fact that she saw me for me
and recognized that right there off the bat was fireworks.
You know, that's the only way I can describe it is fireworks.
Devin. - Thank you.
I think Thomas N. said it best.
I think it's a testament to the kind of man
that she may want in the future, so...
you know, I couldn't be more blessed to have this rose
and, uh, just another step to the moon.
Honestly, brother, I-- I really commend, like,
the humility that you just brought right there, man.
It's a testament for me to learn from.
And I just, like I said, I appreciate that.
No problem. Again, I think you, know,
what Jenn wants or could possibly want
is up to her to behold, and everything else
should just dissipate from you guys.
Cheers to that, man. Thank you, brother.
Jenn gives Devin the rose, and I'm just laughing.
That's the only emotion that can really be
pulled out of me in that situation.
At the end of the day, I'm not sweating a group-date rose.
Sooner or later, she will see through Devin
and she'll send his ass packing.
7 May. Okay.
I'm in the Air Force.
And this morning, I received a call from my supervisor
that my fighter pilot training dates,
I just got word that they came through.
That's what I've been waiting, honestly,
for a year and a half for.
Okay, so there is a slot.
He's like, "It's all lined up.
You have a day to think about it.
So, you gonna come back or are you gonna stay?
We need you back by next week."
It's an either/or?
The fact that I'm getting an ultimatum sucks,
because I feel like I could have something
really special with Jenn,
and I'm still building that relationship.
Alright. Alright. Thank you.
Puts me in a really difficult position,
but I still have a group date today,
so hopefully I'll get enough time with Jenn
to figure out what I'm gonna do.
Are we driving on the right side
or the left side?
- Oh, wow. - Definitely right.
Me, Hakeem, Jeremy and Aaron
get a group date with Jenn today.
I haven't had that much time with Jenn so far, so, you know,
I cannot wait to see what today has in store.
The date card said our hearts would be racing.
Let's do it!
I know Jenn likes go-karts, so, you know,
maybe it's a go-kart, but I was like this--
this track is way too big for go-karts.
I hear an engine.
- Yeah. - Me too.
Whoo!
You think Jenn's whipping that?
I don't know!
I'm feeling some adrenaline right now.
I've always liked fast cars.
I'm not a gowns girl. I'm more of a jumpsuit,
sneakers, let's get down and dirty.
So I feel pretty cool right now.
I'm impressed.
The boys and I see this car.
Out of nowhere, you hear the "skrrt!"
You see this gorgeous woman pop out out the front.
Jenn pops her helmet off.
Stunning. She was looking beautiful.
Looking like a total badass.
Hey, guys.
- What's up? - That was insane!
That was crazy. - Yeah, that was a hot lap.
I'm so excited for racing.
I like to get the adrenaline going and I phoned a friend.
If he can't teach you guys how to drive,
nobody can.
Here's my friend Jesse.
- What's up? - Jesse!
How you going, guys?
Welcome to Melbourne. Should be a really good day.
So, we're gonna be pushing these cars and your skills
to the absolute limits.
Who here has driven stick?
I think I'm the only one.
We've got one. Alright.
And who's driven right-hand drive?
One again.
Alright, well, you might take the lead here, but don't worry.
We're gonna be going through some drills
to get you familiar with the cars.
At the end, you're gonna be going into
an all-out race around the track
to win a special time with Jenn.
Alright, guys, go suit up and we'll get your hearts racing.
- Sounds good. - Look at the other guys.
I mean, we're all on the same playing field besides Aaron.
Aaron knows how to drive stick.
Aaron's driven on the right-hand side.
So that's a little competition there.
But I'm ready. Anything for Jenn.
Whatever happens, Jenn, this is for you!
Clutch in. Start it.
Yep. More throttle, more throttle.
What's the throttle mean?
Gas? - Yeah. Gas. Gas.
- Oh. - Yep.
Need a little bit more gas.
Alright.
Yep. More throttle.
Oh, oh!
Jesse teaches us how to put it in gear and clutch
and take us through a little course.
- Zigzags. - Oh!
And I might have knocked over a few cones,
but I'm doing it decently well.
So, rev it and clutch out. Rev, rev.
I think I'm an above-average driver.
An above-average automatic driver.
Oh!
I'm definitely feeling
in my element today.
I'm ready to show these boys how it's done.
Okay, Jenn!
Compared to the other guys, I'm a really good driver.
I love to get behind the wheel of a real race car.
Yeah, I want to fly planes, I want to drive motorcycles.
There's a lot on the line here, for me especially,
like, after receiving the Air Force call.
You know, it's fun and games at the beginning.
But the prize at the end is more time with Jenn.
And I need every minute with Jenn
to figure out what I'm going to do.
So I'm trying to beat these guys. I want to win.
Hello, Bachelor Nation,
and welcome to the Bachelorette Broadsider 400.
I am Jesse Palmer and I'm coming to you
live from Calder Park Raceway, and I'm joined by Matthew Chung.
He's a driving expert
and also self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie.
Matthew, what are you looking for in this race today?
Mate, I'm super pumped to see
these guys get out there and try and do their best
to impress Jenn.
Each man will get one timed lap,
the man that has the fastest lap getting extra time with Jenn.
They've all gone through training,
and to be honest,
they are terrible drivers.
Alright, first up, it's Hakeem.
My adrenaline was crazy driving with Jenn.
I probably looked like a fool.
'Cause I got happy feet.
My foot on the clutch like this.
Whoo!
You did it!
Hakeem's time-- one minute and 31 seconds.
He did it all in first gear.
Next up, we've got Austin.
Yeah, I got you.
Today is the day I speed things up.
Not just on the track here today.
You know, I'm speeding up me and Jenn's relationship.
A wise man once said if you ain't first, you're last.
And I was driving like I deserved that rose.
Austin coming in with a time of one minute and 20 seconds,
which puts Austin in the lead.
Fastest one?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Jeremy's doing really well.
He's surprising. He's going so fast.
And I actually really trust Jeremy.
Oh, he-- he stalled out!
Why is he stopped? We don't know what's happening.
He's on the corner.
Oh!
I lose the race on purpose.
But in this journey, every moment counts.
Could this be a medical emergency?
We're fine, we're fine. - Bye, guys.
Even if it was for an extra minute,
it's like the little moments that count for me.
I didn't win the race...
but I won.
Three minutes and 31 seconds.
I'm hoping they stopped for a little bit of a snog.
Matthew, Aaron is next.
He is the betting favorite.
But he's really got to put his foot to the floor
if he wants to beat the top time.
I love going fast, and I'm just ready to let loose,
go full throttle and just show Jenn that I'm the top dog.
There's one-on-one time on the line,
and I need that to figure out if we have a future together.
- Whoo! - Oh, that was so fun.
Impressive driving. I do have some times for you all.
Down the bottom in fourth position,
we do have Jeremy-- three minutes, 31 seconds.
Third place, Hakeem at one minute, 31 seconds.
Okay!
And in second place, at 1:23,
we have Aaron.
And taking home first place at one minute and 20 seconds
is Austin.
Congratulations, mate. - Whoo!
Austin ended up winning. It sucked not winning.
I think my pride took a little hit,
especially since I was the only guy that actually knew
how to drive the car.
I wanted that one-on-one time
that Austin had with Jenn so bad,
'cause there's a very big life decision that I need to make,
and I need to get clarity with Jenn
and see where the feelings are at.
So, hopefully I'll get to have that tonight at the after-party.
Racing cars has definitely always been something
on my bucket list, so I was so happy about today
and I feel like I really got that adrenaline rush.
However, tonight, you know, there's only four of you guys
and I really want to slow down
and get to know each other a lot more.
Yeah. Cheers to you guys
just leaning in today.
So fun. - Cheers.
To speeding up. Yeah.
To slowing down.
Tonight, there's an opportunity
to get to know Jenn better.
And I need that time with her
because my flight training dates are ready for me
and I, you know, have this opportunity in the Air Force.
On the other side, it's like,
I want to fall in love more than anything else,
and I don't know if I'm gonna find another girl like Jenn.
How are you doing?
- I'm doing amazing. - Good.
I-I wish I could do both.
Been wanting time with you,
and the fact that it's like, it's finally happening,
it's really awesome.
And I thought you looked super sexy in your jumpsuit.
- Oh, gosh. Don't even. - You felt like a badass.
Come on. - Don't even get me started.
I mean, I felt nice to be out of a dress for once.
- You doing your thing? - Yeah.
Being all sporty.
Well, you did amazing at the drift.
I was really surprised. - That was so fun. Yeah.
I love a good adrenaline rush.
- Yeah? - Yeah. What about you?
I love-- Yeah, I live my life, like,
on the edge of my seat always. - You do?
- I'm definitely a risk taker. - Okay.
Um, I have my pilot license, like to fly planes.
You do?
I've been in some sketchy, like, bad weather
and, like, kind of that... That's a little scary.
I didn't know you had your pilot license.
Yeah. I'll take you up sometime.
Jenn is definitely the type of woman
I could see myself marrying if everything goes well.
Just like how she makes you feel is so comfortable.
And it felt nice to, like,
literally just tell her everything about my life.
Are you, like, a family type of guy?
Like, are you close with your family?
I'm very close with my family,
like 15 or 16 nieces and nephews,
and it's just crazy. - That's a big family.
To feel that she knows me in a much better way
and just like,
kind of have that back-and-forth of like what we want in life.
For me, it's like at the end of the day,
tomorrow's not promised, so I'm someone that's like,
I want to live every day like it's my last.
- Okay. Bold. - Especially in a relationship.
And I know, like, what I have to g--
like, what I can give to a relationship.
This is why I'm here.
Like, I see the potential with you, Jenn.
And I see, like-- like, we can have something special
and, like, really excited about that.
And I'm like, I just want to...
I have a large life decision right now.
I don't want to give up on what I'm doing here with Jenn.
I feel so connected to her.
It felt really good and it felt like,
you know, we just got closer together
and we got to know each other in a deeper way.
I'm hopeful for the group-date rose,
and I like my chances.
You have a fun day?
Mm-hmm. Did you have a fun day?
No, yeah. You seem fun too.
That's why, like, I like you so much.
I don't know, it's like
I could feel comfortable around you.
- Yeah. - I feel like I can say anything around you.
I love that. Same.
I think we have, like, this comfort that I love.
I feel like it's really fun. - Aww.
What have your-- what have-- what have
your, like, relationships looked like?
- Mm. - Have you had any?
- Yes. Yes. Yeah. - Okay. I don't know.
No, no, I mean a lot of them have been bad.
I think a lot of toxic relationships
where I felt like I was putting in too much
and then they're not giving anything back.
So I had to like dim down my successes for the other person,
which I didn't like. - Mm.
That was kind of messed up. Like, I had some
really good moments that I would want a partner
to, like, celebrate and share with me.
Yeah, you should be, like, rooting for each other.
Yeah, exactly.
Um, so that's kind of what my relationships
have looked like, is not good.
In previous relationships, I definitely felt like I was put into a mold
and I had to act a certain way and be a certain type of person.
I couldn't be the outgoing, bold person that I am
because somebody was too insecure
to accept that part of me.
Time for a nontoxic relationship.
Yeah.
You look really cute right now.
I guess I have a little crush.
- Do you now? - Oh, what?
Why are you laughing? - I don't know.
- My face makes you laugh? - A little bit.
No.
Jeremy makes me feel thought of,
and I've always wanted a thoughtful partner.
I feel like he-- he gets me
without me really having to say anything sometimes.
Makes me feel really hopeful
that I can trust someone to treat me well.
I hate knowing that there was a point in my life
where I thought of myself so low
and I let somebody treat me in such a bad way.
Growing up, there was stuff that happened
with my mom and dad. They...
You know, they had a very toxic relationship
and, you know, an abusive relationship.
It kind of shaped me to the man I am today.
So, like, I want you to feel safe around me.
So, that's the most important thing for me.
We both grew up in broken families.
I didn't know what love was growing up.
I didn't see it and I didn't feel it from a father figure,
so it made me want to search for it in the wrong places.
My past relationship, I was cheated on, and--
- That's horrible. - I know. It's tough.
And you know, I've never been in love before.
You don't think you've ever been in love?
Um, I think I thought I knew what love was, but not really.
Like, I don't, like, I've never had anyone really love me.
Like a true partnership.
- Really? - Yeah. Yeah.
Wow. Well, you deserve that.
- Thank you. So do you. - Yeah. Absolutely.
I mean, we all do. Mm.
To be honest, to hear all these guys
open up about their past
makes me realize how much I want a healthy relationship.
It's like, in order to do that,
I do kind of have to rehash all the stuff
that I've been through for me to be able to release it.
- Hello. - Hello, hello.
I'm happy I was able to talk about it
and relate so much to all these men.
That was important for me to see tonight,
and it makes me feel really hopeful for the future.
Well, I want to let you know what an amazing day I truly had.
I feel like we all really grew so much
in each of our relationships today,
and I'm so grateful for that.
I really loved getting to know
each and every one of you guys a lot more.
Um, so, Jeremy...
will you accept this rose?
Love to.
To hear Jenn hand the rose to Jeremy
was just kind of like...
You know, like, just based on today,
the phone call and kind of like, where my mind's been at.
Hugs? Had I received the rose,
that would have really confirmed
we might have something really special here.
I didn't get that, like, stamp of, like, validation
that I was looking for tonight.
And now I have a lot more to think about.
Let's get after it, get after it.
- Come on, y'all. - Let's go.
There are 15 guys left,
three of which have roses already.
So that leaves 12 of us roseless.
Who knows how many people are going home tonight?
I hope it goes better than our last rose ceremony.
There was a lot of drama last week.
Hopefully everyone can just focus on Jenn
and leave the drama behind.
I think this week was pretty solid overall.
I'm sure a lot of us can agree, it was a very smooth,
it was an enjoyable week, so I feel like, you know,
let's just cap it off with good vibes, man.
- Wait, what? - Ah, something else going on.
Trying to figure out where I'm at with
my relationship with Jenn, and, um, I'm feeling conflicted.
I know my heart right now
is feeling pulled in two different directions.
Last night ended, you know, me putting it all out there,
not feeling the validation.
So, you know, what-- what is the most important thing for me
to do at this stage in my life?
On the group date last night,
opening up all that pain from the past was heavy for me.
But having such vulnerable conversations with the guys
made me feel so reassured
and reaffirms that I have strong connections here that I trust.
That's encouraging to me
and that makes me believe in this even more.
- Whoo! - Hey!
Thank you. Oh!
Um, this week has been amazing.
I feel like I made some really,
really strong connections and grew a lot
in each of our relationships.
Tonight, I'm here for you guys
because you guys are so amazing for me,
because I really feel like this is working for me.
And yeah, I'm excited to have a good night.
- Cheers. - Cheers to that.
Cheers.
I want Jenn to know
that I appreciate who she is,
but I think I'm definitely being pulled in a different direction
and I got to listen to my heart.
I don't feel like I'm far enough along yet to, like, turn away
from everything else and like, you know,
give this everything I have right now.
- It's good to see you. - It's good to see you, too.
Um, I feel like the goal I set out to do
of coming here is like,
I came here to meet someone, to get engaged,
and meet my soulmate, a partner for life.
And just getting to know you has been such a treat.
But, um, I had a dream
of being a fighter pilot my entire life,
and I got a call that pilot training dates are happening,
and they pretty much said, like, "We're not holding these.
Either you come back right away or the dream is over."
And like, I wish I was further along
where I felt like-- - Okay.
..."As long as I have Jenn in my life, like, I'm happy,"
and I'm just not there yet, so...
I made the decision that, like, the dreams and aspirations
I have, like, I'm choosing those.
Listen, I totally appreciate your honesty
and I totally understand following your dreams.
I wouldn't want to be a source of resentment, ever.
Yeah. - And I think, like, if this is your dream
and if you've been working so hard for this, like,
I want to cheer you on and do that.
And like, I can't thank you enough
for the amazing times that we had had together.
If I were you, I would do the same, you know?
Yeah. Thank you. That means a lot.
And I just want to say, like, I-- I care about you.
And I know there are so many good guys downstairs.
- Thank you. - And I just want you to make
the right decision for you.
I'm not gonna name names, but...
there are people that aren't ready.
There's people that I don't think
they'll be ready at the end like you are.
Aaron drops a bomb on me
and tells me that there are people here
who aren't ready for an engagement
at the end of this.
I'm just confused what exactly is going on
and if there's any proof to this.
So, they're not ready or they-- they're here
for the wrong reasons?
Both. Some aren't ready.
Some might not be here for the right reasons.
What are they here for?
- Well, I-- - So, what are you actually saying?
I just know my reasons,
and I know I don't think...
Do you feel like someone is treating this as a game?
- I'm not trying to scare you... - I know.
- I'm just like-- - Okay, but you are.
But you are. That's not fair.
What, am I gonna go down there and be like,
"Hey, who's not ready for this?" No.
- Like, that's not... - I think you know.
That's not fair.
No, I-I don't know,
because I generally feel like I have a connection
with a lot of those guys down there.
I do care, but I think it's on you to figure out.
Just be careful. Have doubts about--
Okay. I hear you. Thank you.
I feel like it was a disingenuous conversation.
I feel like he knew he wanted to leave, which is fine.
But to not tell me who these people are
that he thinks, is just...
That's cruel.
She went with Aaron?
I'm so confused.
I trust myself, and I trust my gut,
and I trust that I can read people well.
But am I a little, in the back of my head,
like, okay, this could be worrisome?
Yeah.
Now I have to spend the rest of the night
figuring out who this is or who these people are
who aren't here for the right reasons.
You guys can sit.
I had to walk Aaron out today
because he had to leave for personal reasons.
And before he left today, he told me that there are
some people who are here for the wrong reasons
and aren't ready for an engagement.
And I just want to tell you guys that I need you to sit here
and really think about it, because this is my life.
I've made the wrong decisions in the past,
and I'm not gonna do that anymore.
So if you think that this is not the place that you should be,
then you need to get out.
Got it?
Marcus, do you want to go chat? Yeah.
This was not the bomb that I wanted tonight.
Um, but it definitely
was the source of ignition that I needed.
I know that y'all respect Aaron,
but, like, did he have a personal conversation
with one of you that said,
"Hey, I'm not here for the right reasons,
I'm here for a game show"?
Did he have that conversation with anybody?
And we don't know who he was talking about.
Aaron chose to use his last moments
to talk [bleep] about every single person.
We don't know what, who it was,
but it was somebody in this room.
He didn't say-- - Bro, you're so quick.
Hey, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up.
That's my boy right there.
It ain't fair for any single person in this room
to dismiss the way that he feels
and the way that he handles his [bleep] right there.
Just accept it.
He won't sit there and admit
that Aaron was wrong.
He cares so much about defending him.
It's infuriating.
Those dudes have no respect for anyone
other than their [bleep] selves.
I ain't gonna spend my time...
I don't spend my time talking about none of y'all.
Boy, I keep the main thing the main thing.
I'mma continue to keep the main thing the main thing.
Is this a line, or is this actually coming from the heart?
I don't know, I guess Jenn will be the one
that decides all that right there.
They all want to say that they're here for Jenn,
but they have made their entire journey here
not about Jenn.
It's about themselves.
Were you actually really scared by my speech?
Yeah, I mean, it, like, put the fear of God in me.
I feel like I've been behaving myself
and I'm scared, but, like, um...
How are you feeling about, I guess, like,
what he let you know when he was leaving?
Well, the part with the boys?
- Yeah, the... - Part with the boys.
Well, I think you heard it
when I said my little speech. - Yeah. Yeah, okay.
Yeah, I mean, I feel like I know I've made some mistakes
in the past in picking the wrong people,
but I've made that mistake so many times that now I'm like,
I know what that feels like, and I know what I'm looking for,
and I know when I see a good man now.
Well, I just-- I just want you to know that, like...
you know, I was pretty unsure about this entire experience.
- Are you about to leave, too? - Yeah, no.
It's-- it's a little scary.
But no, like, I do feel like, um...
I'm, like, right where I need to be.
Yeah. - Um, you know, like,
I catch myself thinking about you,
um, when we're not together, which is super surprising to me.
- Thank you. - We got this times--
No, thank you, seriously.
It's a lot, yeah. I know.
You always make me feel so much better.
See, this is why-- this is what I needed.
This is what I needed.
Yo. Alright. Here. Hold on, hold up.
Long story short, bro. Alright, I don't respect you.
I don't like you. I want nothing to do with you.
If you want to talk, yo, we will step outside and we can talk.
Don't speak on me. Don't speak on my name.
Don't [bleep] with me. - Buried, bury it right there.
- Thank you, sir. - No problem. That's good.
Jenn is a smart girl.
And if Jenn is a person that we see ourselves with,
there's no possible way
Jenn could love a man like me
and a man like Devin.
How are you?
Long night. Why?
'Cause Aaron's my boy. Weighs a little heavy on me.
So, it's all good. - Okay.
- Yeah. - Glad you're good.
I am good.
I'm proud of you. I just want you to know that.
For what? - What do you mean?
Doing all this.
Thank you. - You look stunning.
Thank you.
Um, I don't know.
You're not rattled by my speech a little?
Everything that you said doesn't apply to me.
- Okay. - Everything that you said,
none of it applies to me.
I sit here and just...
I see it.
I see the way that I look at you.
I see the way that you look at me.
It's easy to find validation in moments like that, you know?
I think I needed to hear that.
This week, what I kept thinking back to was...
...was you. I think I really just wanted,
like, a hug from you, and I don't even know why.
And I-- and I kept thinking, like,
"He's gonna make me feel better."
- Gosh. - Mm!
That's why I trust this process right here.
Sam M. tells me that he does believe in this,
and I do believe him.
I can feel that he's here for me.
I don't think that you can fake passion or sincerity like that.
Kind of got your mind off things?
Yeah, I-I think so. - Talk to me.
No, I-I think it's just been overwhelming.
I think it's been a lot of emotions to process.
I feel like this position puts you
in uncomfortable places sometimes,
and I do oftentimes put on a front.
I feel like I have to be like this happy,
bubbly self all the time, which a lot of times I am.
But I don't like showing any signs of weakness
or showing like any kind of vulnerability a lot of times,
because I feel like in previous relationships,
when I did show bad days,
they'd run away or they would not show up for me.
And so I felt like I've...
I, just like, that side of me, that vulnerable side of me
wasn't something that people liked or something that was,
um, like, accepted ever, so... - Yeah. Yeah.
I got you.
- Devin. Devin. - I've got you.
And I don't mean to harp on emotions or anything like that,
but for you to come out and be so open and be so vulnerable
in that moment, I felt like I was meeting you all over
for the first time.
But in the way that I wanted to meet you.
Devon really makes me emotional, telling me
that it's not me being perfect that draws him in,
but it's me being basically my worst self.
When you're feeling down
and when the world is crashing on you
and things seem like it's impossible to look up
and look out, like, just get behind me.
I'll take those punches to the chin
and we'll keep walking.
You deserve somebody that will.
I'll get knocked out, and you know that I've got your back.
And if you don't know that, I can't wait to show you more.
You know?
Previous relationships, I've had people
who won't comfort me in times where I'm not my perfect self.
He sees me for who I am and he...
You know, he-- he sees me.
We need to at least address the elephant in the room, bro.
Is that cool? She's not pissed off about what's going on.
She's pissed off about what Aaron said.
Yeah, that's the biggest thing.
It's not about what's going on.
That's the biggest thing.
that nobody wants to address. Doesn't matter, bro.
It-- I literally told him that. Yes.
Did we not have a conversation? You told him, but you didn't act on it.
Is this is what we're gonna do?
Why are we bickering?
I need time with Jenn.
I want to tell her so many things
that she makes me feel.
I'm done. I'm over it.
What is the purpose of all of this [bleep]?
It's stupid. Shut the [bleep] up, everyone.
What is the point right now? No one even knows.
So everyone just, shh! What happened, happened.
Aaron's gone.
We can't even talk to him about it.
Let's, like, simmer.
Good evening, fellas.
Unfortunately, the cocktail party has come to an end.
You all know tonight's a big rose ceremony.
And I also know tonight got heated,
so I just want to give you guys a second to catch your breath.
And when you're ready, I'll see you at the rose ceremony.
Good luck. - Thanks, Jesse.
The night is still young, right? I understand--
No, it's not. It's over.
- Yeah. What's up? - The night's over.
Jesse just said it. He was standing right there.
So the night's not young. So not...
Let's not try to, like, dance around things.
Austin didn't get any time.
We've had a ton of arguments. Well, that's not...
That's not... Okay, I will say this, right?
I'm not-- I'm not-- - Hey, argument's over, dude.
- Look, I-- - That's kind of [bleep] up.
No, I... No, I agree, I agree.
I don't know who Aaron was talking about.
But, you know, not having that chance
to talk to Jenn tonight and give her that validation,
give her that reassurance
that I'm here for the right reasons...
What if she thinks it's me?
Walking into the rose ceremony,
it feels heavy.
Cocktail party tonight was a crap show.
Aaron went home, and before he left,
he decided to tell Jenn
that some people are here for the wrong reasons.
So, who knows what could happen.
Hearing what Aaron told me lit a fire under my ass.
That made me question
if some people might not be here for the right reasons.
I have strong connections here that I trust,
and is there a bit of a doubt
in the back of my head sometimes?
Yes. But I'm a big girl.
I can know when someone's here for the wrong reasons.
I can discern that for myself.
I think today made me feel a little bit more empowered.
Tonight when Aaron left,
he dropped some accusations about you guys.
And you know, I know what my intentions are,
and I know what I'm here for,
and that's to find my husband and to get engaged.
And if you accept a rose tonight,
I hope you know what the weight of that means.
Marcus.
Marcus, will you accept this rose?
Yes.
Thank you. - Of course.
John M.
John, will you accept this rose?
Every time.
Jonathon.
Jonathon, will you accept this rose?
Of course.
Austin.
I'm a little frustrated right now.
I didn't get time with Jenn.
Austin, will you accept this rose?
Absolutely.
It hurts my heart
because, like, I care about her
and I wanted to let her know how special she is.
Grant.
I'm so ready for love.
And I feel like I have a lot of love to give to Jenn.
Grant, will you accept this rose?
Of course.
I hope what I did was enough.
So I'm just gonna stay positive
and hoping that she sees what I bring to the table.
Sam M.
Sam, will you accept this rose?
You know I will.
I'm here for the right reasons.
I want to find love.
I know what I want, and I know I want Jenn.
Thomas N.
She has every quality I want.
I want to show the world that this is my girl.
This is my wife. This is my soulmate.
Dylan.
I do know that I've done everything I can
to show who I am and show what I want.
Dylan, will you accept this rose?
Of course.
All I want to do is make her happy.
If I didn't get a rose, I'd be heartbroken.
Gentlemen...
Jenn...
It's the final rose tonight.
When you're ready. - Thanks.
Sam N.
Sam, will you accept this rose? - Of course.
Gentlemen, I'm really sorry.
You did not receive a rose.
Please take a moment and say your goodbyes.
- Good? - Yeah.
Oh, it was so nice getting to know you, Jenn.
Thank you. Good luck to you.
see you, boys.
- Wah gwaan? - Mm.
- No, you are. - Seriously.
Thank you so much for everything.
You're amazing. Thank you.
You deserve the world.
- You do too. - Thank you.
Love you guys.
I hope the best for Jenn.
She's, uh, such a beautiful woman.
Like, inwardly and outwardly.
And I just wish I got the chance to tell her
everything how I felt.
It's just tough. It is tough.
Hello.
With Jenn, I will always
keep the main thing the main thing.
I know what I have with her, and Devin doesn't stand a chance.
I mean, obviously, cheers to Jenn first and foremost.
But cheers to our journey together, and cheers
to the next adventure that we're about to embark on.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
It's clearly obvious he wants to be that big dog,
but really, we're about to see how tough he actually is,
'cause I can instill fear into this dude.
You know, in the real world, you would never do this.
In the real world, I would snap you in half.
- To love, guys. - Here's to love.
Next week on The Bachelorette...
Traveling to new places and learning
about the people that come here before us is something
that I want to be able to do with my future partner.
I'm falling for you, and I'm not afraid to say it.
She deserves to know what love from a man can look like.
Sometimes in life,
you just have to take a leap of faith.
You used those words, "ferocious love."
I know exactly what that means.
I am falling for Sam.
It's almost too good to be true.
I don't give a about you.
I don't respect you. - I don't respect you either.
I literally got nothing to say to you.
Being my authentic self.
Devin is a clown show.
I know I might be walking on eggshells with the guys,
but I don't give a about those guys.
He needs some humbling. I'm not here
for this bromance. I'm here for love.
Bro, you don't know about love.
You're a kid. - Then get the [bleep] out.
You're not gonna belittle me and disrespect me.
- Shut up. - Get the popcorn.
And if you think things are bad in the house now,
wait till you see what happens next.
What is going on? What is he doing?
It's all next week on The Bachelorette.
