“Bachelorette” Jenn Tran on identity, family and the search for love
Jenn Tran, the first Asian-American lead actress on the reality series “The Bachelorette,” talks about her identity and the search for a relationship.
Jenn Tran’s search for Mr. Right is coming to an end as the 21st season of “The Bachelorette” continues on Monday.
Tran, a 26-year-old medical resident, competed for Joey Graziadei’s rose on season 28 of “The Bachelor.” Now, the first Asian-American “Bachelorette” leading lady is entertaining a pool of 25 bachelors from across America.
In the first season, Tran eliminated seven lovers. In the weeks that followed, 15 more men went home, leaving her with three suitors as of the week 8 episode, Aug. 26: 28-year-old Devin Strader, 31-year-old Marcus Shoberg and 27-year-old Jonathon Johnson.
After flying across the country to meet in their hometowns in last week’s episode, Tran and the three contestants head to Hawaii on Monday night for one of the few remaining episodes of the season. The episode, “Men Tell All,” airs Tuesday night, August 27.
Tran will choose her future groom in the final episode next week, but fans may have already gotten there first.
Who will Tran be happy with for the rest of his life? That’s what the internet says. Warning: Spoilers and theories follow!
Who will Jenn choose on “The Bachelorette”?
Steve Carbone, also known as “Reality Steve,” is a well-known TV and “Bachelorette” blogger. He posted spoilers for Tran’s “Bachelorette” finale on May 31.
Tran spends the final episode on the big island of Hawaii with 31-year-old Marcus Shoberg and 28-year-old Devin Strader as the last two survivors, the blogger claimed.
Tran ends up getting engaged to Strader, according to Carbone. The Houston, Texas, native is a trucking company owner who is “extremely hardworking, passionate about his career and proud of the company he has built,” his ABC biography states.
The blogger’s theories have been proven right (and wrong) in the past. In November, for example, he claimed that Graziadei would get engaged to 25-year-old Daisy Kent, an account manager from Becker, Minnesota, during the final season of “The Bachelor.”
However, in an Instagram post from February, the blogger claimed that his sources were wrong and that Graziadei was actually engaged to Kelsey Anderson – to whom the “Bachelor” had actually proposed in the season finale.
When is the finale of “The Bachelorette”?
Although the season 21 finale of The Bachelorette has not yet been announced, fans can expect Tran’s final rose to be awarded next week on Monday, September 2nd.
However, some media have reported that the final episode will be broadcast Tuesday, September 3 because of Labor Day on Monday.
Where can you watch “The Bachelorette”?
The Bachelorette airs on ABC. Fans can stream the show the next day on Hulu and also watch it live on any streaming platform with live TV capability.
