The Bachelorette season 21 premiered on ABC on Monday, July 8, 2024. The first episode saw Jenn Tran meet her 25 suitors as they attempted to make a good first impression.

During the first rose ceremony, Brett, Dakota, Kevin, Matt, Moze, and Ricky were sent packing. Fans of the show took to social media to react to the segment and were significantly upset to see Brett go home. One person wrote on X:

"Dear Brett you may have not won Jenn’s heart but you sure gained so many people’s hearts #TheBachelorette"

"I know he literally just got here, but is it too early to start my Brett for Bachelor campaign? #TheBachelorette," another fan commented.

"goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, you were bigger than the whole sky #TheBachelorette," a viewer mentioned.

The Bachelorette season 21 fans felt that Brett deserved better as they commented:

"Please welcome the newest member of the "People who deserved better" club #TheBachelorette," a person wrote on X.

"Justice for our sweet teddy bear Brett #TheBachelorette," a comment read.

"Brett deserved better. I hate it here #TheBachelorette," a fan mentioned.

The Bachelorette season 2 fans criticized Jenn for sending Brett home:

"If Brett goes home tonight, Jenn is fatphobic I'm sorry not sorry the man is a ball of personality and fun #TheBachelorette," a fan wrote.

"I don't WANT to say goodbye to Brett #TheBachelorette #bachelorette," a person commented.

Who is Brett from The Bachelorette season 21?

As stated on ABC's website, Brett is from Manheim, Pennsylvania, and is a health and safety manager. The 28-year-old is a "small-town" boy with big romantic dreams. The press release described him as someone with "great energy, strong confidence, and a lot of personality."

"Though Brett loves to be the life of the party and won’t turn down anyone who challenges him to a dance-off, underneath his outgoing exterior is an authentic man with a sensitive soul who’s ready to find “the one," the press release stated.

The Bachelorette season 21 contestant wanted to find love like his parents, who have been married for more than 30 years. With the season star Jenn Tran, he hoped to find someone who he could connect with on a deep emotional level.

Brett was one of the seven contestants who was eliminated in season 21's episode 1. He was one of the last people to arrive in the mansion and asked the frontrunner how she was. When Jenn asked him how he was, the contestant said:

"I'm good, I'm at a mansion with a beautiful girl right now, I'm living the dream."

In a confessional after Brett's entry, Jenn said that whatever expectations she had set for herself were being succeeded since the men were "blowing out of the water."

Others who didn't receive a rose during the rose ceremony included Brendan, Dakota, Kevin, Matt, Moze, and Ricky. After the elimination, Jenn told the cameras tearfully:

"These men made me feel so special and so deserving. Which I don't feel like often. It definitely has sunk in that I am the Bachelorette and I realize that I am worthy of love. I am worthy of all these men being here for me."
