"He is a player" — The Bachelorette fans react to Sam M.'s interactions with Jenn in the latest episode

The Bachelorette season 21 aired its latest episode on Monday, July 22. The third episode of the 21st season saw Jenn Tran and her suitors explore another week in Melbourne, Australia. During the episode, Jenn and Spencer went on a date and flew over the 12 Apostles in a helicopter. In another segment, the male cast members had to entertain Jenn with steamy performances.

While all the other cast members tried to give the act their best, Sam M. tried to get close to Jenn during his time on the stage. Fans weren't too fond of his demeanor and criticized him for convincing the Bachelorette to kiss him during their private conversation later that night.

Viewers were unimpressed with Sam M. and the bold way in which he pursued Jenn while seemingly disrespecting the other cast members. They took X to discuss their dissatisfaction, with many believing that Sam M. was only physically attracted to Jenn. Some said that the contestant would "break her heart" in the future.

One fan even went on to call Sam M. "a player" who would have fun with Jenn for a while before getting "bored."

"Sam M is the type of guy who would have some fun with Jenn for a while, get bored and then just break her heart in the long run. He is a player. #TheBachelorette," the netizen commented.

Fans of the show took to X to call out Sam M. for the way he interacted with Jenn, with many stating that he was "not a nice human." Other fans of The Bachelorette season 21 felt that the suitor wasn't on the show for "the right reasons" and didn't have a "real connection" with Jenn. They expressed their views on the suitor's bold personality on social media.

"Sam M went from being the favorite to being the most disgusting guy in the whole show in 1 episode #TheBachelorette," another user commented.

"Sam m I hate to break it to you but you are not ryan gosling. you are also in fact, not a nice human. #TheBachelorette," one fan wrote.

"Sam M has no real connection with Jenn other than wanting to kiss her and like…what??? #TheBachelorette," a person tweeted.

"Sam M. is hot …. but I fear he’s not there for the right reasons and him & Jen don’t actually have a solid connection outside of their physical attraction. No shade no shade no shade no shade #thebachelorette," a fan wrote.

Viewers anticipated that Sam M. would eventually betray the Bachelorette and hoped Jenn recognized the kind of person he was, and avoid a potential "heartbreak."

"I’m not ready for the heartbreak that Sam M is going to put Jenn through #TheBachelorette," one user commented.

"jenn is gonna p*ss me off bc she can’t see that Sam M is full of sh*t #TheBachelorette," another person wrote.

"Jenn SHOULD figure out who’s not here for the right reasons (*cough Sam M) If she can’t figure that out, then she’s on her own. #TheBachelorette," a fan tweeted.

"I think Jenn so far is thinking about Sam M with her heart and will at some point have to think with her head and all the red flags he is setting off. #TheBachelorette," another netizen tweeted.

Sam M. performed as "Chef Fluster" in episode 3 of The Bachelorette season 21

Sam M. built a formidable reputation by earning the Bachelorette's First Impression rose. The 27-year-old contractor from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, was the sole suitor who attempted to kiss Jenn during their first meeting. Jenn gave him the cheek and stated it did not feel "like the right time."

Viewers were also not fond of how he treated the other cast members. They especially didn't like when he called Devin "insignificant" in the latest episode and wished that he wasn't included in their date with Jenn.

In another segment, he revealed that he participated in the show, determined to get what he wanted. He said that his "main focus" was his relationship with Jenn.

During the latest episode, the contestants had to impress the Bachelorette with their steamy performances. Host Jesse Palmer invited The Bachelorette Australia season 6 alums, Becky and Elly Miles, as judges to judge the performances with Jenn.

While each contestant gave a steamy performance, Sam M. tried to outshine the other suitors by getting close to the Bachelorette. He dressed up as "Chef Fluster" and wore a black apron with a white tank top. The suitor then ripped off his top to flaunt his body, hoping to impress Jenn. He then walked up to her and whispered, "Not PG tonight."

Elly warned Jenn to be careful of people like Sam M, adding that she had done something similar and it "ended up not being a smart choice."

Later in the episode, Sam M. kissed Jenn unexpectedly, which surprised her. Although Jenn hesitated to indulge in the act, she admitted she could not resist it.

"Sam M. and I have a very physical connection right now. There's just something there and I don't know what it is," said the Bachelorette.
