Burn the telly and get a life.

It's The Bachelorette y'all, and our gal Jenn Tran is whittlin' down them city-slickin' suitors like she's skinnin' a deer.Only four fellas left, and they're headed to hometowns week faster than a hog through mud.

"The steaks are higher than ever!" - ABC

Time to separate the men from the boys, and see if any of these city fellers can wrangle a ranch and chew some tobacco. First up:

Devin - The Texan

  • Age: 28
  • Job: Owns a freight company (probably just delivers packages for Amazon, not a real job)
  • From: Houston (big city, not a lot of cattle)

Jeremy - The New Yorker

  • Age: 29
  • Job: Real estate investor (probably just flips houses, not a real man's work)
  • From: New York City (enough said)

Jonathon - The California Dreamin'

  • Age: 27
  • Job: Creative director (whatever that means, probably not a real director)
  • From: Los Angeles (hollywood liberal, 'nuff said)

Marcus - Our Veteran

  • Age: 31
  • Job: Army Ranger veteran (finally, a real man)
  • From: Raleigh, North Carolina (now we're talkin', some real southern charm)

As for Jenn, well, she's just a California girl lookin' for love in all the wrong places. Vietnamese, speakin' two languages, and tryna be a physician's assistant.

"I experienced a lot of pressure...It's a very historic moment." - Jenn Tran, feelin' the heat

She might be a bit of a city gal, but at least she knows how to shoot for her dreams.

When to Catch the Action

Catch the showdown on Monday, Aug. 19, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, and stream it on Hulu the next day if you missed it.

Don't forget to grab some beer and settle in, 'cause this week these fellers are headed to the south and it's gonna be a hoedown.
