Based on Jenn, Matt will not be the “poisonous ex” she has talked about on and off the present. “He is not the one who messed me up just a little bit,” she stated throughout Monday’s episode.

As a substitute, he is a man she dated three years in the past, after which “not too long ago reconnected up to now few months as mates — or so I believed as mates.”

And this wasn’t simply pet love following her around the globe, as Matt dropped the “l-bomb” on Jenn. “I actually do love you,” he instructed her, after she challenged him that he may have stated all this stuff earlier than she left.

“I did say it,” he insisted, “however I did not’ say it as grandly as this, I suppose.”

With 12 guys remaining, Matt requested if he may be a part of the present, making it a baker’s dozen, and proceed on this journey together with her … as a result of that may go over so nicely with the remaining guys who’ve been preventing for her consideration all this time.

Matt is not any stranger to followers of Jenn’s journey to seek out love, even when he’s new to the Bachelor Nation tv screens. As famous by Us Weekly, months earlier than she began this journey, Jenn talked about relationship a person on her TikTok, whom she known as “weiner boy” due to his canine.

Within the video, dated December 2023, Jenn shares a little bit of their story, and the way Matt left her. “Weiner boy and I begin going out and I’m utterly head over heels in love with him. I wanna marry weiner boy, I wanna be Mrs. Weiner at this level,” she instructed her followers.

Two months later, in a TikTok of his personal, Matt acknowledged that he was the “weiner boy” in query, and detailed his facet of the story. “Issues began getting fairly severe and Jenn was able to quiet down however my dad simply wasn’t there but,” the video (from his canine’s viewpoint) stated.

In his video, Matt known as himself a “f–k boy” when he and Jenn met, and admitted he was “utilizing her for clout,” as that was when she was on her approach to turning into one in every of Joey Graziadei’s closing girls on The Bachelor.

So what’s he doing now?

Outdoors of Matt bogarting the episode, and attempting to barge into the present, the precise forged of suitors obtained to get pleasure from some high quality time with Jenn in Auckland, New Zealand. She had a dozen guys after they arrived, with two of them touchdown one-on-one dates.

Sam M obtained the primary of these, which turned out to be more durable for Jenn than him. What she thought was a drink atop the Auckland Sky Tower was truly a drop. Bungee leaping off the construction was not her concept of a very good time!

Her man was all for it, and attempting to push her outdoors her consolation zone, however she simply noticed it as him being pushy. She was clearly on the sting of her emotional breaking level, so his urging was undoubtedly not successful him any factors.

What she stated, per a confessional, was she needed her concern validated and to really feel supported by Sam. When he lastly circled and gave her that, telling her they did not have to leap … she then needed to do it, and they also did. In the long run, he obtained that rose.

Devin lands the second one-on-one, which takes the pair to satisfy a bunch of Māori folks. Their cultural share was impactful on the couple as each have their very own backgrounds they do not really feel strongly related with, and need that they had extra.

Opening up about their household dynamics and connections to their cultural roots carried by means of the night portion, as nicely, touchdown Devin a rose of his personal.

On the group date, everybody else fits up for a sport of rugby — which could have had just a little an excessive amount of testosterone injected into it. Sam N, particularly, was undoubtedly enjoying for retains, all the best way to his “Jenn’s Husband” jersey.

After his group wins the sport, he carries his conceitedness into the night portion and will not hear it when the opposite guys inform him to convey it down a notch. They requested him to respect the opposite guys there … so he grabbed Jenn first and gave her a “Sam’s Spouse” jersey.

When he asks if he can kiss her, the fellows maybe obtained much more than they had been wishing for. Jenn instructed him she wasn’t feeling it, or him for that matter, and Sam N was invited to take his jerseys and head on residence. That rose went to Marcus.

Alas, after Matt took over the episode, we ended on that cliffhanger query of whether or not or not she’d welcome him to the present (this tactic has undoubtedly not labored within the intruder’s favor lately, out of respect for the opposite suitors).

Nonetheless, The Bachelorette goes to make us wait till subsequent week to seek out out whether or not or not Matt will get to affix the present … and who Jenn boots on the subsequent Rose Ceremony.
