The villains emerge | Bachelorette recap 2024: Episode 2, Jenn’s season

We’re in shock.Jenn Tran’s Bachelorette story comes to a horrifying ending in the season finale, and we are devastated and frankly livid with this franchise. In this Bachelorette recap, we review the season finale where we learn Jenn and Devin’s engagement came to a near-immediate end shortly after filming ended and then see a disgustingly cruel After the Final Rose live finale where Jenn is made to watch her proposal to Devin for the first time on stage with him setting next to her. This show failed Jenn in so many ways.We are absolutely aghast that this season — which we had been so excited and hopeful about, which loudly promoted Jenn as their first Asian American lead and promised us an incredible love story with her as the main character — ended in such a horrific way. We unpack that horrible ATFR segment, what happened between Jenn and Devin (and why we weren’t surprised by his swerve), as well as takeaways from the Jenn and Marcus breakup (because we’ve known men like Marcus). We’re Kelly and Julie, and we’re Here to Find Love: a show where two Asian American dating coaches go deep on frothy sh!t. We post reality TV dating show analysis and Bachelor recap videos. Welcome to HTFL!

Devin spirals with doubt, Jenn confesses she doesn’t know how to be in a healthy relationship, and they finish with “I love you’s” prompting us to dig into how the conversation could’ve really gone—if they were being honest.We’re Kelly and Julie, and we’re Here to Find Love: a show where two Asian American dating coaches go deep on frothy sh!t.

Sam M goes off-script, and Jenn sends him packing!In this Bachelorette 2024 Episode 6 of Jenn’s season, Jenn has her first one-on-one date with Marcus. We weren’t totally sure about Marcus — we’ve heard some fairly gruesome allegations about his past and we don’t know if he’s ready to get married with Jenn — but we can finally see why Jenn likes him so much. We talk about Sam M and Jenn’s drawn-out breakup and why it’s important she completed the process on her own time. We dissect Sam M short-circuiting on the show, his misogyny, and how Jenn’s family patterns may have subconsciously influenced their attraction.

It’s week 3 and we’ve finally formulated a theory for Jenn’s season! Let’s get into it.In this Bachelorette 2024 Episode 3 recap, the conflict hasn’t stopped and Thomas N and Sam M are continuing to perpetuate a culture of pettiness and negativity. We chat through their (many) red flags obsessing over the other men in the house, putting down Sam N, and focusing on anything other than Jenn. We chat about our complicated feelings liking Devin (with some trepidation) and how he may have the only genuine connection with Jenn. We talk about our excitement seeing Jenn making sense of her dating story, finding her voice, cutting off the toxic men in the show, and refining her dating picker—all in real time.We’re Kelly and Julie, and we’re Here to Find Love: a show where two Asian American dating coaches go deep on frothy sh!t.
