S21 of The Bachelorette kicks off in a new way with their travels starting on the 2nd episode in Melbourne Australia! The Bachelorette, Jenn Tran, is taking a group date of men to Victoria’s Market with Jeremy, Sam N., Marvin, Jonathan J, Devin, Grant, Brian, and Aaron. They try Vegamite and they also have some whiskey with a bit of kangaroo testicles! Wow! They’re trying out a number of Australian must-haves.

Devin snags Jenn and makes the group date a bit of a 1-on-1 and of course the guys notice and they’re on their way to find her. He takes her over to get some gelato and she appreciates that he is taking the initiative to make his own moment. When the giys arrive she is welcoming to them.

They make their way as a group to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Clearly, something is about to happen. They have to write some zingers and perform it in front of everyone there. Devin has rubbed everyone the wrong way and it seems the guys are going to roast him even more. Even Jenn notices and we can only wonder who will get the Group Date Rose from this one. The date moves onto the night portion at a stunning home and she tells them that she is excited to know more about them.

Back at the hotel. the guys see that there is another card. Marcus gets the 1-on-1 date card. Back on the group date, Aaron asks Devin how serious he is and if he thinks that he is a fit and ready to be with Jenn. Aaron calls him a boy so we know the battle lines are set between the two.

Aaron has his time with Jenn as he says he is not about being part of any drama. Devin feels that Aaron questioning him and calling him the wrong name Dylan - he wants Jenn to know he is there for the right reason. He comes in with an ice cream cart and says it’s only for 2. Devin and Aaron end up doing multiple interruptions with one another. They then debate on the interruptions and she comes in to give the rose to Grant!

Jenn is on her first 1-on-1 date in this journey and she is starting it off with Marcus. They are going skydiving and although he is excited, she is a bit nervous. Jumping 15,000 feet when you’re afraid of heights and you’re with someone who did this frequently as an Army Ranger - of course, he’s not afraid. She ended up liking that he showed up for her.

The evening portion of the date starts with an intimate dinner in the library. They talk to get to know more about one another. He wants to let her know that he wasn’t always strong and confident he had to do a lot of work to be who he is now. He tells her about his job as an Army Ranger for 8 years in Afghanistan. He told her how he got seriously injured during his last raid when a bomb went off and he talked about how his team made sure to come back to get him in order for him to make it home. He talked about his recovery, multiple surgeries, and relearning how to walk. Because of those experiences, he is aware of the fragility of life and he is grateful in walking away with that experience as someone who is worth saving. You can see Jenn absorbing this information and she didn’t know that he went through all that he did! He receives the date night rose.

The next day, Jenn is in the outback with a koala as their date will be a photoshoot. The remaining 9 men will be with Jenn which will include: Spencer, Sam M, Thomas N., Hakeem, Dylan, Austin, John M., Tomas A., and Jahaan. The men will have to have a shoot with a number of animals that are not the koala! All the men are watching this date and every now Whoever wins the date, 1 man will have an intimate dinner with her. Poor Hakeem had to battle his fear with spiders and when Jenn had to be with the snake solo, Dylan stepped up! He received personal time with her and she let the rest of the guys know that she would see them at the cocktail party.

The men from the group date come to the hotel and are bummed on what happened on the group date. They fill the other men on what’s going on. Thomas N. asks if the guys who already got time from the other group date can fall back so that they can have time since they didn’t have a rose ceremony post the group date. Devin says he won’t fall back, but he can see why they would want that. Back to Jenn and Dylan, he received the rose from the group date.

Back at the hotel, Aaron asks Devin to talk again and calls him the wrong name. Aaron gives him, Principles For Self-Growth, a book to make him a better person. Devin sees that Aaron is a petty guy. Passive aggresive Aaron continues to work the room.

The rose ceremony begins and of course, Devin snags her first. All the men crane their necks and realize that he didn’t honor Thomas’ request. The men debate whether it was respectful or not. Thomas N pulls Devin away from Jenn and tells him that he didn’t follow through on what he promised. When Devin comes downstairs, the guys chat with him and he lets them know that Thomas N made it an issue and left her there sitting alone. Jenn asks Thomas N what happened and then she lets him know that that wasn’t the way to go about it. He gets less time as Sam M pops up and takes his moment. The two connect and Jenn feels that he centers him.

Downstairs, Devin is trying to talk it out with the men who are cool with him. He then looks for Thomas N to try and talk it out, but they are still unresolved. Jesse Palmer lets them know that the cocktail party has come to an end and asks them to collect themselves before going into the ceremony.
