“The Bachelorette” week 4 had Jenn Tran and the men in Auckland, North Island, New Zealand.  At the top of the episode, host Jesse Palmer came clean about being responsible for the reason why current contestants don’t eat on the show.

He said during his season, he was “scarfing’ down the food so fast and talking, that producers decided never again! So, all of Bachelor Nation, there’s the answer!

Straight away, Jenn swooped Sam M. up to go on the first one-on-one date in Auckland.

Devin, still in a feud with Sam M., said he hoped that Sam M. would “blow his cover” by being forced to have a conversation and “hopes he bombs” with Jenn during the date and she’ll see the real him.

THE FIRST ONE-ON-ONE DATE:

Jenn said this date was a test to see if there was a deeper, emotional connection with Sam M. While Jenn and Sam M were having drinks, Sam told the waiter that they would be open to jumping off of the roof when the waiter invited them to do so.

Jenn was annoyed that Sam M. made the decision for both of them. They were 630 feet up on the Skywalk where Sam M and Jenn were all set to jump until Jenn had a real fear and anxiety meltdown.

Sam came to the rescue to comfort her and said they didn’t have to jump. After she calmed down, Jenn decided to confront her fear and jump anyway. She was so happy that she did, then said never again!

Back at the hotel: The date card arrived. The names on the date card were: Spencer, Marcus, Grant, John M., Austin, Jonathon, Dylan, Thomas, Jeremy, Sam N. That meant that Devin was getting the next one-on-one date!

Sam N. was super jealous because he was tired of being part of group dates with Jenn.

During dinner, Jenn opened up to Sam M. by telling him that she felt that she wasn’t “worthy of true love”, or a “true relationship” due to her parents breaking up. Sam got emotional too just listening to Jenn talk about this.

Sam M. responded that Jenn “is worthy” and she “deserves” love.   He added that she’s not “messed up” and he knows exactly what “ferocious love” means. Sam M. said he was engaged to a girl who ended up choosing another guy. Jenn realized that the fears that she had about Sam M. weren’t real.

THE GROUP DATE:

Jenn had ten guys on the group date where they met on a local playing field. The men didn’t know what to expect.

Before the start of the game, it’s tradition for Haka, a ceremonial dance before they play a game of Rugby. Members from Auckland’s professional Rugby team were there to help “separate the boys from the men.”

Sam N. was fed up with being in the background on dates. He kept picking Jenn up and carrying Jenn around the field, making the other men jealous.

Back at the hotel: There was some serious tension between Sam M. and Devin who ended up arguing.

The Bachelorette’s Rugby Royale!

The game was moderated by Jesse Palmer, Jenn, and professional player Stacey Waaka. The men split into teams of two to play against each other.

Sam N. made multiple tackles to opposing team members. He was out to get Jenn’s attention, and even wrote “Jenn’s Husband” on the back of his jersey. It was a win for Sam N.’s team, the Blue Team.

THE AFTER PARTY:

The men didn’t like Sam N.’s new found cockiness/confidence and it was about to erupt between him and the rest of the men at the After Party.

“Boss Bitch Energy!”

Then, Sam N. grabbed Jenn first for alone time. This is when Sam N. presented Jenn with a jersey that he wrote “Sam N.’s Wife” on it.

In Sam’s interview, he said he got his confidence back, “boss bitch energy” and “hot energy” all the way!

 

Jenn had sparks between Jonathon, Grant…NOT Sam N.

The men spoke to Sam N. in private to tell him how disrespectful he was being towards them. He didn’t get it. Sam N. said he’s there for Jenn.

When Sam N. left the group, he said in his confessional that he’s going to “win.” So, apparently, Sam N. has turned Jenn into a prize to win and that’s how he was acting on the date.

When Jenn asked Marcus about how he was doing because he got hurt in the Rugby game earlier, he said he wasn’t hurt badly. But, that also opened up a wound and he said he wasn’t ready to talk about his past troubles. Jenn gave him a hug.

While the men were sitting around on the couch, Sam N., told them that he was confident of getting the group date rose. Then Thomas pulled Sam N. outside to talk. However, he couldn’t get a word in edgewise because Sam N. wouldn’t shut up!

After that, Sam N. decided to get back at Thomas by interrupting his alone time with Jenn. Thomas was livid! Sam N.’s intentions was to get a kiss out of Jenn!

When Thomas vented about Sam to the rest of the guys, Grant joked that Sam N. “needs a spanking.”

NOT Getting There!

Sam N. wanted to take his relationship with Jenn to “the next step” and asked if he could kiss her. This was a “no” for Jenn because she said, the first kiss “means a lot,” and “I want to be honest with you.”

Jenn told Sam N. that she couldn’t “see us getting there” and didn’t want to lead him on. So, it was ‘no’ from Jenn. She walked Sam out. During his car ride, Sam N. said he was “confused.”

The other men were pleasantly surprised, and so relieved to see Sam N. go home.

Jenn gave Marcus the group date rose for him “trying and it’s not always easy.” She said she hopes to “uncover all that.” Eventually, viewers can expect that we will at some point hear about Marcus’ troubled past later in the season.

Thomas got choked-up talking about how he felt receiving the rose. He said the rose symbolizes that she sees that he’s trying.

THE SECOND ONE-ON-ONE DATE:

Jenn’s second one-on-one date was with Devin. They were greeted by some locals who talked about their culture and also asked Devin to talk about where he’s from.

Devin stated that a “happy and healthy” family is all that he wants, not having much culture after Jenn explained how she’s more in touch with her Vietnamese background and practices Buddhism.

During dinner, Devin got honest about his upbringing, how he didn’t really grow up with two parents. He was a product of a “fling” that his mom had. Jenn shared a unique connection with Devin because she also was raised mostly by her mother.

Here, we got more details about Jenn’s father. She shared that her dad left her and her mom, and never kept in touch with Jenn after that.

This rubbed off on Jenn in her not investing in herself, or in men that were not invested in her. She decided to no longer date men like that and realized that she is worthy of love.

Devin told Jenn that he’s falling for her. Jenn was beside herself because no one had ever told her that until Devin. She gave him the date rose.

THE EX SHOWS UP!

Jesse Palmer explained to the audience that one of Jenn’s exes, Matthew, flew across the country on his own dime just to have a conversation with Jenn.

He says they dated three years ago, and when Jenn left, he said he wasn’t ready to say goodbye. There was limited time due to the shooting schedule. So, her ex had to meetup with Jenn basically as soon as he arrived.

Jenn wasn’t that happy to see Matt. He told her that he still has really strong feelings for her “now more than ever” and wasn’t ready to see her engaged to someone else. She said he’s not the “toxic” ex.

Jenn was “confused” because they had reconnected as friends. He was asking for another shot with her. Jenn was contemplating on adding him into the mix with the other guys.

NEXT WEEK: Looks like there’s going to be major trouble when Jenn integrates the “new guy” into the mix!  The teaser states “this will change everything!”
