Jenn Tran has come one step closer to her “wild love” after she dropped the L-word to her last two men – Devin Strader And Marcus Shoberg.
Tuesday, August 27, The Bachelorette: Men spill the beans The special began with Devin knocking on Jenn’s hotel room door and telling her what no one ever wants to hear: “I’m here to talk.”
“I’m a little doubtful about what you’re thinking right now,” Devin admitted. “And I should have told you that at night.”
Devin put his heart on the line even more, saying he felt like he was “the safe option” for Jenn. “I feel like I’m wanted here, but I don’t feel like I’m needed here. And that scares me,” he said.
Despite his concerns, Devin assured Jenn that his doubts were not due to a lack of love for her – he was just too afraid to get down on one knee without her saying “I love you.”
“The proposals are next week and I still don’t know what’s going on in your head,” he said. “It scares the hell out of me.”
Jenn paused for a moment to collect her thoughts. “I’m not as good with words as you,” she said, then apologized for not “reassuring” him of their connection.
“I don’t know how to have a healthy relationship,” Jenn said through tears. “I don’t know how I can possibly be what you need me to be, and I want to do that for you. And I want to feel like I’m doing that the way you do it for me week after week.”
Jenn took Devin’s face in her hands and dropped the three words he wanted to hear in her room. “Devin, I really love you, you fucking idiot,” she said as they hugged. “I really love you. And sometimes I don’t know how I can be as amazing as you.”
Putting his fears aside, Devin gushed to the camera that he feels “closer than ever” to Jenn. “I feel stronger than I’ve ever felt,” he said.
Before he could leave the hotel room, the two exchanged a few more words – and L-bombs. “I love you,” she said. “I love you too,” he replied, before she added, “I love you more.”
After Jenn said she loves both Devin and Marcus, it is clear Jonathan Johnson is her number 3 – but the trio still dressed up for the rose ceremony. After Jenn gave her first rose to Devin, she gave the remaining one to Marcus.
Jonathon, for his part, was shocked by her decision to send him away. “I think you were perfect for me and I wasn’t perfect for you,” he said. “And that’s a really bitter pill for me to swallow.”
