Spencer's Solo Date

Spencer enjoyed a romantic solo date with Jenn. The date included a helicopter ride to The Twelve Apostles, where they sipped champagne and admired the stunning views. During dinner, Spencer revealed he had been engaged before but was hurt by his ex-fiancée. He reassured Jenn that he was now ready for a new commitment. Jenn felt a deep connection and gave him a rose,  expressing that they could be their true selves with each other.

The First Group Date

Jenn and the contestants visited the Forum Theatre in Melbourne for the group date to meet the Thunder Down Under dance troupe. The guys learned dance moves and performed for Jenn and an audience, competing for the title of Mr. Love Down Under. Despite feeling self-conscious, Devin stepped up and got the group date rose. In a surprising moment, Sam N. confessed his love, making things awkward for everyone.

"I see myself getting on one knee for you," said the handsome heartthrob. "Jenn, I'm already falling in love with you. I feel like a fool right now. I feel pathetic. But Jenn is the girl I'm starting to fall in love with," Sam N. added during a confession. 

The Second Group Date

The second group date took place at a local racetrack, where Aaron, Austin, Kakeem, and Jeremy raced to win Jenn's attention. Austin wins the race and scores extra time with Jenn.  During the afterparty, the men discussed their past relationships. Jenn appreciated their honesty and awarded the date rose to Jeremy. However, Aaron received news that his fighter pilot training was starting soon, leading him to leave the show to pursue his dreams.

Before he left, he sat down with Jenn to reveal that some men in the house weren't on the show for the right reasons. When the leading lady asked for names, he refused to throw certain contestants under the bus. Instead, he warned her to "be careful." 

Cocktail Party and Rose Ceremony

Jenn set a firm tone at the cocktail party, demanding genuine intentions from the men. A heated argument broke out between Sam M. and Devin over respect, but Jenn clarified that she wanted sincerity.

During the rose ceremony, she handed out roses to Marcus, John M., Jonathan, Austin, Grant, Sam M., Thomas N., Dylan, and Sam M. Unfortunately, Hakeem and Tomas were sent home.

The Bachelorette airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
