“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 about halfway complete, and 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 following weeks, 11 more men went home, leaving her with seven suitors for the week #6 episode on August 12: Spencer Conley, Devin Strader, Jeremy Simon, Marcus Shoberg, Grant Ellis, Sam McKinney and Jonathon Johnson.
Like previous years, Tran’s season will last nearly a dozen episodes, and in the finale, likely to air in September, she will choose her future groom. But fans already have theories about the winner.
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, the blogger claimed, and 31-year-old Marcus Shoberg and 28-year-old Devin Strader are the last two survivors.
In the end, Tran becomes engaged to Strader, according to Carbone. The Houston, Texas, native is a freight company owner who is “extremely hardworking, passionate about his career and proud of the company he has built,” according to his ABC biography.
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”?
The finale of the 21st season of The Bachelorette has not yet been announced. If the season is 10 episodes long, similar to the last season of The Bachelorette, the finale could air September 9th.
Where can you watch “The Bachelorette”?
“The Bachelorette” airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. Watch on ABC or stream the next day on Hulu. You can also watch live on any streaming platform with live TV capability.
