The Bachelorette 2024 finale brought a huge backlash. It deserves every bit of it.
SlateBy now, we all know that The Bachelor is sort of an evil show. Season 21’s Bachelorette was 26-year-old physician assistant student Jenn Tran, who was chosen as the franchise’s first Asian American lead after appearing as a contestant on the previous season of The Bachelor. Jenn declared her intention to break with the show’s tradition and propose to Devin herself, rather than simply accept his proposal. He even attempted to frame getting to see the proposal as a kind of tribute to Jenn’s beautiful spirit: “I know that your love story did not unfold the way that you hoped it would or expected it to, and for that, Jenn, I am truly, truly sorry,” Palmer started, trying to strike a careful balance of representing an entity that was responsible for emotionally annihilating Jenn while still insisting that it was a very big fan of Jenn. Longtime viewers may remember the finale of Season 22 of The Bachelor, which featured lead Arie ambushing the woman he’d gotten engaged to on the show, Becca, with an on-camera breakup during what she thought was supposed to be a standard little reunion visit for the two of them.
