True to Jenn Tran ’s promise, The Bachelorette season 21 has been full of twists and turns — and now, cliffhangers. Jenn, 26, kicked off the Monday, August 26, episode of the ABC series with Devin Strader ’s date and the twosome accepted host Jesse Palmer ’s invitation to stay in the fantasy suite. Suitor Jonathon Johnson had his one-on-one time with Jenn next and he, too, spent the night with the lead.
For the last fantasy suite, Jenn planned to tell contestant Marcus Shoberg that she loved him. During their candid conversation, however, he admitted that he’s “unsure” and she deserves “someone that is sure” about her. “I don’t know if I’m, like, putting pressure on myself because of how fast this process has been or how quickly, you know, the end of this process is approaching,” Marcus said.
“But it’s been hard for me to get to a point where I feel comfortable saying that I’m, like, in love.” Despite Marcus’ admission, Jenn doesn’t back down from sharing her true feelings. “There’s a lot of different phrases of love and I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you that I am in love with you and the way that you make me feel,” Jenn said.
After Jenn dropped the L-word, Marcus cried and promised to “try as hard as he can” to get over his fears of uncertainty. Jenn and Marcus decide to spend the night together and woke up the next morning in a better place. While Jenn had her overnight dates with Jonathon and Marcus, Devin began to spiral.
