The Bachelorette Season 21 released its latest episode on Monday, August 12, 2024. While some suitors managed to form strong romantic connections with Jenn, others failed to impress her, leading to their elimination. One suitor left the show mid-way after ending things on a bitter note.
Sam McKinney, popularly known as Sam M., packed his bags and volunteered to exit the ABC show after having an awkward confrontation with Jenn. He was unable to voice his feelings, described his connection with Jenn to be superficial, said he expected someone else to be the Bachelorette, and used the phrase "I love you" whenever he was at a loss for words.
Jenn criticized Sam M. for giving scripted answers and for not showing his authentic self. In response, The Bachelorette cast member accused Jenn of having a "dull" personality. He then packed his suitcase and left the show. Fans took to X to react to his comments and how he failed to form an emotional connection with Jenn.

From the show's start, The Bachelorette cast member portrayed a bold personality as he did not hesitate to approach Jenn intending to form an intimate bond with her. Fans of the show applauded Jenn for confronting Sam M. and questioning him for his statements.
"Jenn packed Sam m I know that’s right!! #TheBachelorette," a netizen commented.
"All of us when Jenn finally begins to see through Sam’s bs #TheBachelorette," another fan tweeted.
Viewers of the show were shocked when Sam M. admitted he did not expect Jenn to be the Bachelorette. They were unimpressed with his inability to showcase his genuine feelings.
"My mouth was wide open when Sam was talking to Jenn answering her questions. He was just rambling and it was just making it worse. And then when he said Jenn wasn’t initially his type? I lost it. #TheBachelorette," one fan wrote.

The Bachelorette star Jenn says Sam M. reminded her of a relationship she "put in the past"
In the latest episode, Jenn joined Seattle radio hosts Jubal and Bender, who were joined in the studio by Jason and Molly Mensick. The hosts played a game of word association with Sam M., Spencer, Jonathan, Devin, and Grant. While the others came up with various responses, Sam M.'s answers left Jenn dissatisfied. When asked to describe his connection with Jenn, he said:
"To say that I've been doing nothing but falling in love with you from the first time we had a conversation, that would be a lie."
Everyone watched in disbelief as Sam M. said the opposite of what he meant to say. Jenn confessed that his answers did not make sense to her and that she doubted his authenticity. He made matters worse when he said:
"This girl is not my type. I thought the Bachelorette was going to be Daisy or Maria."
Jenn demanded clarity and asked him to mention one thing he liked about her. Sam M. struggled to frame sentences and failed to come up with a credible answer. Later in the episode, the Bachelorette asked him to explain what it meant to love somebody, to which he replied:
"For me, love is selfless, love is sacrifice, love is understanding, and listening to the person that is in front of you."
Jenn stopped him midway and said she was not looking for a script. She later confessed he reminded her of a past relationship she moved on from.
"The way that this is, reminds me so much of a relationship that I've already put in the past," said Jenn.
Consequently, Sam M. accused Jenn of having a "dull" personality before exiting the show.
The Bachelorette Season 21 airs every Monday on ABC at 8 pm ET.
