They’re giving Sam M. the edited version of The Bachelorette they gave him!
Every time he shuts up about Devin and how he hopes Devin doesn’t receive a rose one day, the more I know he’s going to swallow those words at some point this season.
That moment will surely come, but let’s go further inland for another week while we wait!
It’s a new day in Melbourne and Jenn kicks off her next week by inviting Spencer for a one-on-one chat. I didn’t expect that she liked him so much!
The two take a cute helicopter ride, but it’s hard to see the chemistry on these dates as they yell at each other through their headphones with another man within earshot.
Back at the hotel, the never-ending march of German hate continues, but instead of being led by Aaron or Thomas N., they cede the reigns to Sam M., who spends two hours talking about German Vin and his ankles have been bitten more than the girl he’s currently dating.

Elsewhere, Jenn and Spencer leave the sky for a romantic dinner and Spencer must tell Jenn something sinister, judging by how he leads to the reveal.
It sucks to be cheated on, Spencer! I agree with you, but he assured Jen that he’s not tired of his ex and is ready for a commitment.
Compared to her other solo dates, Jenn seemed less excited than we’ve seen, but Spencer still got the rose and that was about it.
On a group date, ten men show up to an empty theater and quickly learn they’re going to dance! You can see the light dimming in many of their eyes.
Thank god they gave us a warning to start the show as all this body rolling and dolphin diving really needed a warning.
While some people indulge in the absurd and have fun, Sam N. is struggling. To make matters worse, his dolphin dive attempt ended with an injured thumb. How damaging this is to the ego.
I love dates that push men firmly outside of their comfort zone, because when you give your potential spouse a few hours to take off their clothes in front of strangers, it’s nice to see how they’ll react.
Hell, you could be a potential parent; that’s all that matters.
Dylan (my favorite) danced the best, going first and setting the tone, while Jonathan looked the most comfortable on stage.
Sam M. did a little dance and made sure to whisper something flirty in Jenn’s ear, and the two Australian bachelorettes quickly noticed the chemistry between the two, but also told her to be wary of anyone with Such a sexual man.
Thank you Australian sisters! Not only is Sam M. more interested in talking about Devin than Jenn, but I’m not 100% sure there’s more to their dynamic right now than just flirting and lust.
They may get there, but I don’t believe they will. Either way, Sam M. will always keep the main thing first, so we’ll see.

Devin’s dancing is fun and a little over the top, but it fits his personality. Everyone can hate Devin all they want, and they do at any time, but Jenn sees someone expressing themselves unapologetically, and she connects with that.
Sam N. walked last, sucking the air out of the room and telling Jenn he was in love with her without even taking off his robe.
If I didn’t review this show, I’d have to turn off the TV because my second-hand embarrassment would go crazy.
Everyone is shocked by Sam N.’s rather strange statement, if only because now is really not the time or place for it. If he didn’t want to strip, Jenn would definitely respect that, but stopping the show for this, especially so early when they hadn’t spent much alone time together, felt forced.
Jonathan won the game but got nothing in return, which was bad considering the embarrassment he and I had to endure.
During the cocktail party, Jenn was constantly kissing, which was good for her!
Her best chat may have been with Devin, who opened up about being overweight as a child and struggling with his body image. It must have been a big thing for him to get on that stage, but he did it, and he even enjoyed it, which Jenn appreciated.
I’m telling you, Jenn loves this man and all the haters have nothing to gain.
Outside of chatting, Sam M. and Devon are in trouble again, it’s boring and over the top, and we’re only three episodes into it.
They don’t like each other and have their reasons, but no one cares! Sam M. talks a lot about taking things outside and I hope he does.
Yell and do whatever you have to do and just let it go because I know those guys and I are tired.
If I hear Sam M. call Devin a bully one more time…I won’t do anything but I will get pissed!

The group date rose went to Devin, which wasn’t surprising since she liked the guy again.
All I know is that Sam M. and Thomas N. hit the air on the Marriott balcony when they got back to the hotel that night.
Now, it’s time for the other four to go on a date with Jenn, but only after Aaron finds the phone and gets a call from his Air Force supervisor, telling him he needs to decide if he wants to come back for flight training.
Aaron decides to go on a date, hoping he can make a decision after spending more time with Jenn, but to do that he needs to win a race at the racetrack!
It was such a fun date and I understand why there were only four people as they must have spent a long time training each one to run a lap.
Poor Hakeem seems like a nice guy, but out of the four of them, he probably needs the most time with her since I don’t remember them spending much time together so far.
Jeremy and Jenn’s impromptu make out in the car was easily the funniest thing they did on their date, and suddenly Jeremy jumped up in my rankings! It was such a weirdly romantic moment.
Austin won and he got some extra time with her. Cool?
All the guys spent time with her at the cocktail party, but nothing really stood out. Jeremy got the date rose, which kind of surprised Aaron, and I don’t know why.
The rose ceremony brought with it a decision for Aaron that no one even knew he had to make, and not getting the rose seemed like the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Leaving is the right thing to do, especially early in the process when so many connections are being formed. There’s a nice moment between Aaron and Jenn where they discuss his options before he decides to sadly leave the series.
What exactly was the point of telling Jenn that someone was there for the wrong reasons without naming her?

If you want to be big enough and bad enough to make such a statement, then stick to your word and tell her what you know. Or shut up!
You could tell from the abrupt way she said goodbye to him that Jenn was angry, and she had every right to be. Her speech to the guys afterwards is a good version of what she could have said, “If you don’t actually like me, get out of here right now.”
We chatted more with Sam M. (who I’m afraid still didn’t have much substance) and Devin (who they met) and then we gave away roses.
Ultimately, there are no roses left for Hakeem and Thomas A., and it’s time for them to say goodbye.
Next we head to New Zealand, where Devina and Jenn seem to be even closer and Sam M. will definitely have a lot to say.
Until then, let me know in the comments what you think of Jenn’s choice and how you see things unfolding. Remember, always keep the main thing first.
See you next week, Bachelor Nation!
