Jenn Tran‘s journey for love is officially underway! On Monday, season 21 of The single woman premiered, and the drama was not long in coming.
“I recognize that continuing The single woman “Finding love isn’t the traditional way to find love, but I’m not really a traditional girl in the first place,” the first Asian-American Bachelorette said in her intro package. “I don’t fit into any kind of mold. I’m just me.”
That was more than enough to Jenn’s 25 Suitorswho went all out during their limo entrances. First up was Marcus, who nearly died while stationed overseas, followed by a French-filled introduction from Marvin, before Sam N. confessed to being a “love virgin.”
Grant beatboxed, Sam M. celebrated “shot time,” Thomas N. gifted Jenn a friendship bracelet, Brendan proved he could handle the heat by eating chili peppers, Tomas A. made a good impression with two adorable puppies, and Jonathan appeared “lovesick” in a hospital gown, which caused him to flash his butt at Jenn as he walked away.
Bachelor Nation star Noah Erb’s twin brother Aaron made his debut next, followed by a NSFW entrance from Jeremy, who arrived in a sports car.
“I know what they say about people who have that kind of car. Overcompensation. But I wanted you to know that I actually have a really big d**k…” he said before pausing dramatically, “like, a really big d**k.”
“Did you just say the p-word?” Jenn questioned with a shocked expression.
The entrances continued with future doctor Dylan carrying John on the pedestal, and Hakeem’s balloon-laden arrival.
Inside the mansion, the group played truth or dare, which resulted in Austin streaking, Matt backing away like a coward, Aaron playing air guitar, and Moze admitting to ignoring people in the past.
After an awkward moment where Brian stole Jeremy’s car keys and forced him out of his own vehicle, Jenn decided awarded the First Impression Rose to Sam M.
“I couldn’t stop thinking about you all night,” Jenn told the general contractor. “I don’t always pick the right men, but there’s something in my gut that tells me there’s something here and I’m really excited about it. I’m really excited to get to know you a lot more.”
With that, Jenn had her first kiss as a Bachelorette, and the steamy kiss turned into a make-out session.
“It feels so right. So much tension builds up all night and it feels good to let it all out. I feel like I’m floating on clouds. I’m feeling so happy,” she said. “The kiss is wild, I think. The kiss was really, really good. I feel like I made the right decision to wait because that was the kiss that was building up all night. It was definitely worth the wait.”
The first rose ceremony of the season took place, and Jenn sent home Brendan, Brett, Dakota, Kevin, Matt, Moze, and Ricky.
The episode ended with the reveal that the group would begin their international journey immediately, departing for Australia the following day.
The single woman airs Mondays on ABC.
