What Happened on Last Week's Episode of 'The Bachelorette'?
With hometowns coming up next, last week's episode had Jenn Tran in a tough spot, having to lower the count of suitors from seven to four. To help her better understand who she sees getting out of the show with, the bachelorette met up with Charity Lawson (who led the previous season of the reality hit) for a word of advice. After that, Jenn went on a date with Marcus, which followed a Wicked theme. With Bachelor alums Daisy Kent and Kelsey Anderson's assistance, Jenn and Marcus were led down a yellow-brick road answering either-or questions as they went along. By the end of this magical experience, they receive encouraging messages from loved ones and get the chance to ride a hot air balloon. Over dinner, the suitor opened up about his complicated upbringing, with both him and his sister living in foster care. Their candid interaction led Jenn to not only give him a rose but also to feel more secure about her connection to him ahead of hometowns.
Following her one-on-one with Marcus, the bachelorette went on a radio show group date alongside Spencer, Sam, Devin, Jonathan, and Grant, with Bachelor alums Jason and Molly Mesnick joining in for a special appearance. Although most of the participants used the opportunity to demonstrate their affection for Jenn, Sam wasn't able to give her the affirmation she needed to ensure that they could have a future together. He even went onto say that he was debating participating in the reality program after finding out that neither Maria nor Daisy were going to be Season 21's bachelorette. After the awkward questions and answers session, Jenn decided not to give out a group date rose.
The second one-on-one date was with Jeremy, who hadn't gotten any prior chances to spend time with Jenn up until now. Although their relationship isn't as solid as the connection that she has built with other suitors, the bachelorette feels at ease in his company as they wander around Pike Place Market. Over dinner, they had a worthwhile conversation about family and religion, ending their date off with Jeremy accepting a rose. By the end of the episode, him, Devin, Marcus, and Jonathan get selected for hometowns.
Fan Reactions Ahead of 'The Bachelorette' Season 21, Episode 7
After the very unsettling interactions between Jenn and Sam in the previous episode, to the point that he was sent home, fans of the reality show were vocal about their frustration with the participant.
Chicks in the Office podcast hosts Ria and Fran said that they were glad that Sam was eliminated.
Ahead of Episode 7, Kait Chura tweeted about her appreciation for Jeremy, who only got one-on-one date in Episode 6 but left a lasting impression.
Watch the Preview for 'The Bachelorette' Season 21, Episode 7
The Episode 7 preview starts off with snippets of Jenn spending time with each participant in their hometowns, getting to know the community and their inner circles. Although it seems like the bachelorette is enjoying each of the visits, some of her suitors are seen chatting with family members about whether she is the right person for them. With Marcus and Jonathan expressing their doubts, it will be interesting to see who winds up getting to propose to Jenn by the end of the season. The clip finishes off with her approaching the four men with only three roses left on the table, meaning that by the end of the episode, one other person will be sent home.

While watching the latest season of The Bachelorette, viewers can catch up on other reality TV shows that are focused on matchmaking and finding a fiancé. The mentions below are perfect recommendations to follow along while waiting for new Bachelorette episodes to come out.
'Married at First Sight' (2014-Present)
Similarly to people joining Bachelor Nation shows and are looking to settle down soon, the participants in Married at First Sight are also tired of meaningless relationships and are ready to tie the knot in an unusual way. Instead of a bachelorette or a bachelor getting engaged to one of the many suitors they spend time with, in this program, singles are matched by a relationship therapist and meet for the first time at the altar. After their wedding, the pair spend their nuptials at a hotel and go off on their honeymoon. Only when they return are they given the opportunity to change their minds about being together. Once the couple completes a total of eight weeks living in the same home, they are allowed to call for a divorce. Those who are satisfied with their experience as husband and wife can choose to remain together.

'Love Is Blind' (2020-Present)
Think of The Bachelorette, but without physical interactions before the proposal, Love Is Blind is what you get. In this Netflix reality hit, singles go on dates without ever getting to see the person they are connecting with until they leave the pods engaged. The pairs that do decide to go through with the experiment and plan their wedding get to meet each other face-to-face after the proposal, venturing off on a honeymoon and living together in the weeks leading up to the ceremony. When the wedding arrives, the participants can finally say "yes" or "no" to being with the person they go to know during their time on the show.

On Love Island, several singles get the chance to go to a luxurious villa in the hopes of having a memorable summer and leaving the show alongside a significant other. Yet, there is a catch!

Although the pairings might change from Episode 1 to later in the season, it is of the utmost importance for those on the show to be in a relationship, or else they will have to be sent home.
