The Bachelorette season 21 has had its fair share of eliminations. With 12 remaining guys, Jenn Tran has to shortlist the men she feels the strongest connection with. Episode 5 featured two one-on-one dates and a single group date with the remaining guys. Previously, Jenn's ex-boyfriend Matt Rosi had appeared on the show in an attempt to win her back.
This season's main lead clarified she was unaware of Matt's strong feelings and wanted to look forward to the future. Roi decided to leave the show when he realized that Jenn's point of view wasn't the same as his. On The Bachelorette season 21 episode 5, after the first rose ceremony, John M. and Thomas N.'s journey on the show came to an end.
Then, during the group date, Austin told Jenn he wanted to self-eliminate, and exited the show. When it was time for the second rose ceremony, it was revealed that Dylan was being sent home as well. The Bachelorette season 21 episode 5 was released exclusively on ABC on August 5, 2024. The episode synopsis reads:
Trending
"Jenn has a big decision to make following an unexpected visit from her past; from dates in helicopters to a group date on a sheep farm, Jenn and the men explore New Zealand."
John M., Austin, Thomas N., and Dylan went home on The Bachelorette season 21
On The Bachelorette season 21, Matt Rosi clarified he didn't want to take away the fair chance of 11 guys competing on the show. He also said he wanted Jenn to have the best experience and find her potential love match. Even though some viewers expected him to join the cast, that wasn't the case. Before departing, Rosi said:
"She feels confident that you guys can offer her something I can’t, and I’m just here to apologize. I’m not here to take anything away from your experience. I wish you all the best. I wish her the best."
After the first rose ceremony, John M. and Thomas N. were eliminated. Some viewers were upset with this decision while others wanted to see who Jenn was connecting emotionally with. When it was time for a group date on a farm with seven guys Devin, Sam, Marcus, Spencer, Jeremy, Dylan, and Austin, Austin shared he no longer wanted to be on the show.
He was one of the cast members who didn't get a chance to get to know Jenn one-on-one. Austin told The Bachelorette season 21 lead that he couldn't compete with the guys and wanted to go home. He said:
“You have amazing guys here who are ready to give you everything you deserve. With the way things are going for me on this journey, I don’t think I can do that.”
Surprisingly, Tran got emotional at Austin's self-elimination. She started doubting her decision-making skills and overthinking if she would end up having no love match after the show ended. During her confessional interview, Tran told the cameras that her insecurities and fears were coming true after another self-elimination. She questioned:
“Am I just doing a bad job?”
Later in the episode, Jenn revealed that the 24-year-old medical student from Elk Grove, California, Dylan was eliminated as well. Stream The Bachelorette season 21 exclusively on ABC.
