Today is the only Wednesday column this season that probably won’t have “reader emails.” I didn’t get enough yesterday to warrant a column, and I needed to provide you with your episode-by-episode spoilers for Jenn’s season in written form. BUT, tonight I’ll be LIVE on my YouTube channel (@RealitySteve24) at 8pm EST/5pm PST to break down Jenn’s trailer for the season. Once that video is finished, I’ll insert it into this column so you can follow along with character placement in certain locations/dates, etc. So join me tonight as I break down Jenn’s 4-minute trailer that aired at the end of Monday’s episode. I’m guessing this live stream won’t take more than about 20 minutes with breaks and commentary and all. This will definitely give you a way to put faces to names and dates, because I know that after an episode it’s not easy to remember who’s who and how long they’re on. As you can see from these spoilers, it’s really only episodes 4 and 5 in New Zealand where it’s a bit hard to keep track of who went home and when. But by process of elimination, I think I’m pretty close. At the end of the spoilers, the transcript of today’s Daily Roundup starts on page 3. Enjoy…
Rose Ceremony #1 Los Angeles, California (25 males at 18 years old)
-Sam McKinney had the first impression of rose.
-Jenn was playing a game of truth or dare with the guys. During the game, Devin would pick the truth and be asked, “What conspiracy do you believe in?” He responded that the one he believed was 9/11 was an inside job. This didn’t go over well in the room, but it wasn’t shown in the episode.
Rose Ceremony: Eliminations: Brendan Barnum, Brett Harris, Dakota Nobles, Kevin McDevitt, Matt Arnold, Moze Smith and Ricky Marinez.
The 18 guys remaining after Rose Ceremony #1 are:
Aaron Erb
Austin over there
Brian Autz
Devin Strader
Dylan Buckor
Grant Ellis
Hakeen Moulton
Jahan Ansari
Jeremy Simon
John Mitchell
Jonathan Johnson
Marcus Shoberg
Marvin Goodly
Sam McKinney
Sam Nejad
Spencer Conley
Thomas Nguyen
Thomas Azzano
Rose Ceremony #2 Australia (18 to 15 years)
Group date: Eight guys were scheduled to perform at a comedy night at St. Kilda’s Sports Club, in conjunction with the Melbourne Comedy Festival that was going on at the time. The guys in attendance were Aaron Erb, Brian Autz, Devin Strader, Grant Ellis, Jeremy Simon, Jonathon Johnson, Sam Nejad and Marvin Goodly. Australian comedian Bec Charlwood was the host. Brian was criticized for being the oldest guy at 32. Devin was showing off in front of the cameras. Jeremy and Jonathon were made fun of for being short. They called Sam Nejad the “Persian virgin”. A bunch of “under the radar” jokes referring to the guys’ bullshit, because of course they did it. Grant Ellis got the rose for the group date.
1 of 1: Marcus Shoberg. They skydive and land near Point Ormond Hill.
Group date: 9 men on a date that takes place at a zoo. The men present are Austin Ott, Dylan Buckor, Hakeem Moulton, Jahaan Ansari, John Mitchell, Sam McKinney, Spencer Conley, Thomas Nguyen and Tomas Azzano. Dylan Buckor got the group date rose.
Rose Ceremony: Eliminations: Hakeem Moulton, Jahaan Ansari and Marvin Goodly.
Rose Ceremony #3 Australia (15 to 11 or 12)
1 of 1: Spencer Conley. They take a helicopter to the Twelve Apostles, a popular tourist site.
Group date: 10 guys on a group date for a male stripper revue. The Thunder Down Under dancers coached the guys beforehand. Special guest judges along with Jenn were Becky and Ellie Miles, who were 2 sisters who were co-Bachelorettes in Australia in 2020. The 10 guys are: Devin, Dylan, Grant, John M., Jonathon, Marcus, Sam M., Sam N., Thomas N., and Tomas A.
– Almost all the guys stripped down to their briefs at some point. Only two didn’t.
-Sam Nejad was the last one to perform. He wasn’t wearing a costume, he asked them to cut his mic, and he talked to Jenn and told her he was falling in love with her.
-Jonathon ends up winning the strip date, but I don’t know who got the rose from the group date.
Group date: Meet in a group of 4 people as they race on a professional track. The 4 guys are: Austin, Aaron, Brian, and Jeremy.
At some point after this group date, Aaron Erb eliminates himself because he gets called up by his country’s flight school and says he has to leave now or he apparently won’t have a chance at getting his pilot’s license. I heard he was going to edit like a hero that he was leaving the show to fly for our country.
Rose Ceremony: Eliminations: Brian Autz and Tomas Azzano. Aaron Erb had to eliminate himself to go to flight school.
Rose Ceremony #4 Auckland, New Zealand (11 guys left)
This is where the one thing about the season and the eliminations gets a little confusing. I originally thought 11 guys went to Auckland. But there is video evidence in the trailers of 12 guys surviving Australia – Austin, Devin, Dylan, Grant, Jeremy, John M., Jonathon, Marcus, Sam M., Sam N., Thomas N., and Spencer. And we know that only 7 guys make it to Seattle. So 5 guys are eliminated in the two New Zealand episodes, but I don’t know how that breaks down.
The 4 who are definitely eliminated at some point in New Zealand are: Austin Ott (self-eliminated in episode 5), John Mitchell, Sam Nejad, and Thomas Nguyen. There is a picture of Spencer and Dylan on the group date in episode 5 in the preview, so it’s clear they are both moving on to the next episode. I just don’t know which one is eliminated in episode 5 and which one is moving on to Seattle. I want to say Spencer because he had a 1 on 1 and Dylan never had one, but that’s just a guess. The main thing to know is that 5 men are eliminated in these next two episodes.
1 of 1: Sam McKinney. Skyfall date. Basically a kind of bungee jump off the side of a building.
Group date: Rugby meeting.
1 of 1: Devin Strader. In the trailer, they are seen having dinner at a movie theater during the night portion of their date, where Devin tells her he’s falling for her.
Rose Ceremony – Eliminations Since we know that Austin, Dylan, and Spencer will advance to the next episode, it looks like this episode will be the one where John Mitchell, Sam Nejad, and Thomas Nguyen are eliminated.
Rose Ceremony #5
1 of 1: Jonathon Johnson. They took a helicopter to a winery.
Group date: This is the only group date that I don’t know what they did. However, in the trailer, we see Devin running towards Jenn in the middle of a herd of sheep and also lying on the grass kissing her. This happens in episode 5, but we know he didn’t have a one-on-one in that episode since he just had a final episode and Jonathon and Grant are one-on-one in that episode. So this shot of Devin is definitely the daytime portion of the group date. I just don’t know why we don’t see any of the other guys in this shot when they’re running towards each other surrounded by sheep. Maybe he won the group date and got extra time? Either way, this shot of them kissing among the sheep is the daytime portion of the group date in this episode.
Austin Ott self-eliminates at some point during this day.
1 of 1: Grant Ellis. I went horse riding.
Rose Ceremony: Eliminations: Austin Ott self-eliminates at some point during the group match. Then either Dylan Buckor or Spencer Conley are eliminated here. The other one goes to Seattle. Again, I’m assuming Spencer advances simply because he had a 1-on-1 and Dylan never did.
