This strategic shift followed an emotionally draining farewell and an introspective conversation as Jenn prepared to meet her remaining suitors’ families. With just seven contestants left, the dense city of Seattle revealed more than just commitment issues.
First One-on-One Date: Spotlight on Marcus
Marcus, 31, had a whimsical one-on-one date themed around the beloved musical Wicked. Jenn and Marcus embraced the theme, with Jenn in a vibrant pink dress and Marcus in a green letterman jacket. They rode a nostalgic trolley down a yellow brick road, guided by Kelsey Anderson and Daisy Kent from Joey Graziadei’s season. Their day included comical tasks like a “This or That?” game, a spicy pepper challenge, and public pillow fights.
The date continued with a visit to a balloon wall, where each balloon contained a personal prompt. Messages of love from Marcus’ sister Gabriella and a letter from Jenn’s mother were inside. The day ended with a romantic hot air balloon ride, where they received a message from OG Bachelorette Trista Sutter encouraging their love to defy gravity.
Despite the magical moments, Jenn had doubts about moving too fast with Marcus. At night, they went to T-Mobile Park, home of the Seattle Mariners, where Marcus shared his painful experiences as an abused child in foster care. Jenn’s supportive words during the rose presentation showed how deeply she was falling for Marcus.
Group Date: A Rollercoaster of Emotions
During Jenn’s group date on the Love On Air Seattle radio show, Spencer, Jonathan, Sam, Grant, and Devin met Jason and Molly Mesnick from previous seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. The discussion took an unexpected turn when the hosts asked about their thoughts on the upcoming fantasy suites. Sam raised eyebrows by describing the suites as “aggressive” and made comments that confused Jenn and the hosts about her approach to love.
Jenn had a one-on-one conversation with Sam, who gave her mixed signals. He initially said she was not his type but then told her he loved her, leaving Jenn questioning the sincerity of his words and whether he truly understood her. Jenn did not give out a rose on this group date, as she sought clarity in all her relationships.
Second One-on-One Date: Jeremy's Connection with Jenn
Jeremy, 29, had a one-on-one date where he explored Seattle’s Pike Place Market with Jenn, including getting palm readings and watching fish being thrown behind the counter. In their evening talks, they delved into deeper topics like Jeremy’s Jewish heritage and Jenn’s openness to learning about different cultures and religions. Despite some disagreements, they approached the discussion with mutual respect and understanding. Jenn appreciated Jeremy’s perspective, and his congeniality and honesty helped strengthen their bond.
Rose Ceremony: Emotional Goodbyes and Tough Decisions
The show ended with a dramatic rose ceremony where Jenn faced the painful task of saying goodbye to two men. Jenn sought clarity about Sam’s feelings before the ceremony, revealing her doubts about his sincerity and frustration with his mixed messages. Ultimately, Jenn decided to send Sam home, expressing regret that they couldn’t connect more deeply.
Additionally, Spencer and Grant were also sent home, leaving Jonathan and Devin as the final two standing for Hometown dates. Spencer shared his pain with his mother after leaving, as he felt he couldn’t build a future with Jenn.
