The internet reacts to Jenn Tran's dramatic finale on 'The Bachelorette': 'This is so evil'
View Date:2024-12-23 21:35:54
The Bachelor franchise, in classic fashion, promised the end of "The Bachelorette" Season 21 would be the most dramatic yet.
Based on internet reactions, they might have been right this time.
Tuesday night's "After the Final Rose" episode showed the end of the journey for lead Jenn Tran, the first Asian American lead on the show.
Jenn chose Devin, a 28-year-old freight company owner from Houston, over 32-year-old veteran Marcus as her season's winner. But before the audience saw the engagement, Devin and Jenn took the hot seat together. Jenn said Devin had a lot of doubts during filming and after the show, adding that he broke off the engagement over the phone.
Then, host Jesse Palmer rolled the tapes of Jenn proposing to Devin and he proposing back, as Jenn watched along with the studio audience, sobbing.

Fans blame network for making Jenn Tran watch engagement after breakup
Several users were upset that Jenn had a difficult conversation with Devin and then had to watch the once-happy moments over.
One user was so moved to write up a reaction in notes and post the screenshot to X.
"It's not entertainment to watch someone in the midst of such insurmountable pain that they're nearly gasping for air," the post read. "And it's not cute or funny that at the very height of that pain you make them rewatch what they just described as the worst day of their life, in front of a live studio audience and next to the person responsible for that pain."
But fans will remember this isn't the first time the audience has watched a proposal when the couple went their separate ways before the finale. Rachel Recchia got engaged to Tino Franco at her season's finale but they broke up after filming ended due to a cheating scandal. Fans still saw the proposal on the "After the Finale Rose" episode.
Maria Georgas takes the spotlight again
Another revelation out of the tense conversation between Devin and Jenn was that he followed Maria Georgas on social media the day after breaking off the engagement. Georgas was a favorite contestant on Joey Graziadei's season of "The Bachelor" and was also a contender to be the Bachelorette.
"I can't excuse the Instagram follow; I know how much that hurt you," Devin said. "Obviously, I failed you, and there's nothing I can say other than that."
