Jenn Tran is teasing an unforgettable journey for love. Following the season 21 premiere of The Bachelorette, ET sat down with the physician’s assistant student to chat about what fans can expect in the weeks ahead.
At the conclusion of the premiere episode, Jenn told her remaining suitors that they’d be breaking the franchise mold by immediately setting off on an international adventure.
“I was not expecting to head to Australia right away. It’s never been done before, so it was a really quick turnaround from the long, long night and then hopping onto a flight to Australia,” Jenn told ET. “I felt so grateful to be given this opportunity to do that with these guys. I was just so excited to see some kangaroos.”
Jenn noted that she and her men jetting off right away “definitely propelled the relationships quicker.”
“When you travel with somebody… you really get to know them a lot quicker and kind of see them outside of their comfort zone,” she said. “But, for me, I love to travel, so I felt really in my element traveling and going on these dates with these guys.”
Amid their international travels, Jenn said there are “definitely a few key players” when it comes to drama amongst the men.
“There’s some tension amongst multiple men and not just one man,” she said. “You can definitely look out for multiple people that rub other people the wrong way.”
Fans got a look at some of that tension when the season’s super tease aired at the conclusion of the premiere episode.
“Nothing in the super tease surprised me, but it brought back all the emotions,” Jenn told ET. “It’s a very emotional teaser and it kind of brought me right back to every single one of those moments. There were just so many twists and turns. I was happy to kind of see it all be teased out so people kind of know what they’re in for.”
One of the season’s standout moments came when a man from Jenn’s past arrives and asks to join the show.
“It’s a very pivotal moment in the journey,” Jenn said of the mystery man’s arrival. “I think that’s all I’ll really say to that. It was a big moment for me that shocked me and changes the trajectory of the rest of the season.”
Viewers were also left stunned when, in the preview, host Jesse Palmer told Jenn that “no Bachelorette has ever done this before” as she prepared for a finale shocker.
“The way the journey just played out, there’s so many moments in which I learned so much about myself and have this huge character development for myself essentially,” Jenn said. “By the end of it, it’s definitely an outcome that’s going to be a shock to my family, it’s going to be a shock to the viewers. I’m excited to watch it play out.”
While Jenn would neither confirm nor deny if she’s engaged, she told ET that she’s “very happy with the outcome” of her season.
“I learned so much about myself. It’s really, truly been such a journey of self-growth. I would say I found a ferocious love within myself for sure,” she said, before noting of Bachelor Nation, “I’m really excited for them to watch me grow into a different person. I have a few bada** moments, a few moments of truly just putting myself out there. I think a lot of young women are gonna relate to me and relate to my story. That’s what I’m most excited about.”
The Bachelorette airs Mondays on ABC.
