We kick off tonight’s episode of The Bachelorette with some of the men doing their workouts, a warning about gyrating men and libidos, and the men trying to set their differences aside so that they can be focused on Jenn Tran.
The date card arrives and Spencer gets the 1-on-1 date. That means there will be 2 group dates that we’ll see. They end up flying in a helicopter and they get to know one another.
Back at the house, the guys are still whispering about Devin and his antics.
Back on the date, the helicopter portion is done and now they are heading to dinner in a stunning space where they can really talk with one another. We know that he wants to share something that makes him very vulnerable. He lets her know that he has been engaged and has purchased a home with her and then he realized that she was cheating on him. Although he shared this experience, it’s a lot to take in and you can see Jenn seeing if he is able to navigate and be ready for love with someone else. She gives him the 1-on-1 Date Night Rose.
Dylan, Marcus, Thomas A., John M., Grant, Jonathan, Sam N., Thomas N., Sam M., and Devin will be on the group date together. It’s a lot of personalities so we know that this will definitely be a doozy. Their date is at The Forum Theatre but it’s clear that hey will do the Thunder From Down Under which has shows in Las Vegas, but they’re helping out Jenn today. The men look so uncomfortable and can’t believe that this is what they will be doing. They learn how to do a number of moves and then they hear that they will have a live audience watching as well! Jesse Palmer is emceeing the night. The guys are having fun with it and Jenn is joined by 2 sisters who were on The Bachelorette Australia. Jonathan wins the event - Mr. Firefighter. Sam N. decides to drop the L bomb which catches everyone off guard! It seems like there’s a new person in the group that will rub others the wrong way.
Post the group date, the men from the date are at the cocktail party - who will win the Group Date Rose? The men are still thinking about Sam N.’s bold move. Of course, Devin is still out there doing all of his antics and the guys still feel that he’s a bit much. Sam N. also talks about what he said and she let him know that his truth is one that he should share and she is glad that she let him know. Devin hears Sam M. and Thomas N. talk about how he doesn’t even know what it is to be in love so why would he say anything? Apparently, Devin feels big brother vibes over Sam N. so this is not going to go well. The trio have a chat that doesn’t really resolve anything. After meeting with a number of them for a bit, she is giving the group rose to Devin.
We see that Aaron is in the Air Force and is being called in for an opportunity to participate in a flight training group. He has a day to figure it out and he will be flying out the following week - he has to think about what he will do, but for right now, he’s all about his group date. The next group date has Hakeem, Jeremy, Austin, and Aaron on a race track which will allow them to do a race. Austin came in first and got to have a bit of 1-on-1 time with her. With only 4 people on the date, she is spending some time with each of them at the group date cocktail party. Aaron lets her know that he has his pilot’s license. He has to decide what he will do and he feels that he is closer to her. She has great moments with each of them and now it’s a matter of who will get this group date rose. She gives the rose to Jeremy. Aaron thinks about the fact that since he didn’t get one, he doesn’t have the validation that he is looking for since he has to think about the call that he received earlier that day.
All the men arrive for the cocktail portion of this week’s Rose Ceremony. She acknowledges the men upon her arrival and lets them know that they are amazing and that this process is working. She lets them know that she is having a good night. Aaron plans on letting her know that he will be taking another opportunity as he doesn’t want to to stop his life for something that he has worked so hard on. He lets her know that he has dreamed of being a fighter pilot and he wants to take the time to do that. He also leaves her with a few words - some people are not there to be genuine and yet, he didn’t want to say who. That shifts the vibe for everyone else that is there.
