Jenn Tran and her suitors have traveled the world on The Bachelorette since it premiered on the 2024 TV schedule this season, visiting locales from New Zealand to Australia to Seattle.

Those days are behind us now, as Jenn was in the hands of her final four men for Hometown dates on the August 19 episode, and boy did Bachelor Nation notice a difference. In fact, the collective opinion of one activity in particular led to some A+ social media reactions.
Devin Strader kicked off Hometowns, inviting The Bachelorette to Houston, Texas, to meet his family. Before he brought her home, however, he arranged for his running group to surprise Jenn, and she was made to join them for a one-mile run. This didn’t scream “dream date” to many in Bachelor Nation, one of whom posted : Im sorry if I met a partner’s family & friends for the first time and they made me do a GROUP RUN???#thebachelorette #bachelorette pic.
