Who Went Home on ‘The Bachelorette’ Season 21? All the Eliminations

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for The Bachelorette Season 21.]

The Bachelorette Season 21 premiere was full of memorable introductions and shocking moments. From the first sparks to some unexpected nudity, Jenn Tran’s journey to find love started off with a bang.

Jenn met all 25 suitors over the course of premiere night, and Sam McKinney was the lucky guy to earn her First Impression rose. Jenn told TV Insider that she was impressed with all the introductions. “I felt so incredibly lucky that these men came here to get to know me and to date me,” she said.

The 26-year-old admitted that the “most difficult part” of being the star of The Bachelorette was “having to open my heart up to multiple people. At a point, connections just get so strong, and it’s like, how do you hold that many people in your heart all at once? And how do you compartmentalize it? And how do you figure it all out? Because it’s just not a normal process at all. I think that was probably the toughest part.”

After the first week’s eliminations, Jenn and her men traveled to Melbourne, Australia, for group dates and more. The drama kicked into high gear in the second week.

Jenn began to get to know her suitors more Down Under, but not everyone walked away with a rose. Jenn had to make some tough decisions about who would stay and who would go.

After his beef with Devin Strader began, Thomas Nguyen feared he wouldn’t get a rose. Jenn handed him the last rose of the night. Thomas N.’s rose meant it was the end of the road for a trio of contestants.

Devin continued to not get along with a cluster of men, especially Aaron Erb. However, Aaron’s journey on The Bachelorette came to an end when he got pilot training dates and decided to pursue his “dreams and aspirations” over love in Week 3.

In Week 4, Sam N. continued to stir up drama among his fellow suitors after a group date. He felt confident about his feelings for Jenn and stole time away from Thomas. When he asked to kiss Jenn, she politely rejected him and immediately sent him home. “I don’t envision a future with Sam N.,” Jenn admitted after walking him out.

After Jenn’s ex, Matt Rossi, showed up out of the blue, she had to decide whether or not she would let him join the show in the August 5 episode. Austin Ott realized his connection with Jenn wasn’t going anywhere, so he left the show. This caused Jenn to doubt herself, and she ended up forgoing the cocktail party and went straight for the rose ceremony.

Jenn had to narrow down her group of men from seven to four ahead of the hometown dates in Week 6. During the August 12 episode, Jenn confronted Sam McKinney about how he really felt about her. When their conversations went nowhere, a frustrated Jenn sent Sam M. home before the rose ceremony. Two more suitors went home (and one of them was named the next Bachelor!)

So, who went home on The Bachelorette this week? Scroll down to see the eliminated contestants who didn’t make it to the hometown dates.
