Now that Sam McKinney has been sent home, The Bachelorette is all about love.
And by that, we mean all of Devin Strader’s haters are gone now.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve watched as the men who opposed Devin were sent home one by one without a rose.
First, it was Aaron Erb who took himself out of the running when the Air Force called because he had been selected for flight school, a now-or-never opportunity.
Then Thomas Nguyen shed his final tears as he said goodbye to Jenn after failing to get a rose in Episode 5.

The last of Devin’s adversaries was Sam McKinney, who failed to impress Jenn this week when he declared his love for her without being able to explain why.
Last week, when Devin’s opponents were sent home, he made a joke about it on social media. This week, when Sam M left the team, he did the same thing.
Devin Strader laughs at Sam McKinney’s love confession
This week, after Sam McKinney went home, Devin couldn’t help but joke about how Sam messed up his relationship with Jenn.
Devin has been talking for weeks about the importance of “letting what’s most important remain most important,” and this week he brings it up again.
In a cartoon he shared on his Instagram stories, a superhero-like guy supposed to represent Sam can be seen nervously trying to decide which red button to press.
One says “The main thing,” the other says “I love you.” The cartoon man dabs sweat from his brow as he tries to make a choice, his finger hovering near “I love you.”
On the show, Sam M was unable to tell Jenn why he fell in love with her or what qualities he saw in her that made him want to get engaged to her. Instead, he just blurted out that he loved her and kissed her hard.
Jenn was upset when she finally realized that Sam M was not the man of her dreams. He was exposed because, as he himself said, his love language is physical touch. There was just nothing beyond that.
Devin also targeted Aaron and Thomas N
Aaron Erb and Thomas N are two others who criticized Devin in the early weeks of the show because they felt he spent too much time with Jenn.
When they went home, he also poked fun at their departure in his Instagram stories. In this cartoon, Devin posted a picture of the Grim Reaper with his face on it visiting Aaron and Thomas’ hotel rooms, leaving a bloody trail.
Then he knocked on a third door, which fans of The Bachelorette already assumed was Sam M’s door since he was the only other man giving Devin a hard time. It turns out they were right.
The Bachelorette airs Mondays at 8/7c on ABC.
