By the end of the episode, it was revealed that Hakeem, Tomas A., and Aaron were being sent home. Hakeem and Tomas A. were eliminated from the show, while Aaron decided to leave early for his fighter pilot training.
The Bachelorette season 21 episode 3 was released exclusively on ABC on July 22, 2024, and its synopsis reads:
"Jenn whisks one man away for a date that could lead to soaring connections, then invites a group of her suitors to a male dance revue; the men go for a high-speed race around the track."
Aaron, Hakeem, and Tomas A. went home on The Bachelorette season 21 episode 3
During the strip tease challenge at the Forum Theatre in Melbourne, Tomas A. didn't stand a lot, but Sam N. and Devin managed to make a lasting impression on Jenn. Initially, Sam N. told Jenn that she should fall for his personality, not his body, and continued his heartfelt speech, telling her that he was falling in love with her.
The Bachelorette season 21 cast member also backed out from participating in the challenge. Meanwhile, Devin expressed his vulnerability by sharing that he had faced body image issues, so this task was a difficult one for him.
For the race track date, Hakeem wasn't in the spotlight either. After the competition ended, Jenn gave Jeremy the rose. Many viewers had suspected that Hakeem's journey on the show might come to an end as he had not made much progress in his connection with the bachelorette this season.
Aaron, on the other hand, chose to leave the show to pursue his dream career. His fighter pilot training dates were clashing with the filming schedule, so he thought exiting the dating series was best for him. Jenn was supportive of this decision, and told Aaron not to hold back from an opportunity like this.
Before his departure, The Bachelorette contestant told Jenn she should be careful, as most guys didn't have the best intentions with her. Without taking any names, Aaron warned Jenn that not all cast members on the show were present to find a genuine connection with her.
Tran was upset upon hearing this, and she told the remaining cast that she had "made the wrong decisions in the past" and it wasn't something she would do anymore. She added that if the contestants thought that the show wasn't the place for them to be, they needed to "get out."
The Bachelorette season 21 episodes are released every week on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and are available the next day to stream on Hulu.
