Sam M's family shades Bachelorette's Jenn Tran for show leaving out 'context' Bachelorette Jenn demands Sam M read emotions better in upcoming one-on-one “With her ex walking in, that could change people’s hearts and minds,” protested one man on a new teaser. “We are working our hardest to be here and some guy is wandering his way back in. I’m livid,” another disapproved.
Meanwhile, Tran herself is deeply conflicted about how to handle the situation. “I have one of the biggest decisions that I’ve had to make yet, and I have to follow my own journey,” she said. “As much as I can see a future at the end of this, I also see a future where I end up alone,” she added through tears.
When Matthew arrived unannounced in New Zealand, he told Tran that “a part of us will always be in love,” before adding that he is ready to get engaged. However, Tran said that she was not entirely convinced by Matthew’s grand gesture. "I'm so confused about what his intentions are," she later told the cameras.

He must be here to give me some advice or something, And very, very quickly, I was like, ‘This man is not here to give me advice,”’ she said.
She also gave details behind their original courtship, and why the situation seemed so out of the blue. “We hadn’t dated in three years. We dated for, like, three months, so we were not in love.
And so, yeah, I was really, really shocked and confused. I was trying to wrap my head around what exactly it is that he had wanted from me in that moment,” she added. Sign up to The Bachelor newsletter HERE for the latest news and updates.
