The Bachelorette episode 2: Is Devin the new Jenn Tran favorite?

Even though we are just in The Bachelorette episode 2, we do tend to think Jenn Tran may have a favorite or two — including Devin.

In general, we do wonder how this guy is going to be received by a lot of people at home. This is someone who comes across as rather confident … but does that also mean cocky? We tend to think that he is not used to ever not being the focal point, and he wants to make sure that he has that with Jenn. Him taking her away during a group date was a prime example of that. She feels like he’s working to make her feel special and 100%, that is something that is valuable to her. She’s not seeing the other side, where the guys are getting annoyed and jealous. They’re trying to be respectful of each other, and they feel like he’s not.

For now, it feels like Devin could be one of the “villains” of the season, at least in that he never really gets along with a lot of the other guys. Being on this show is a balancing act, since you want to pursue the lead but also not cause any other egos to get bruised.

Of course, this issue with Devin did not end on the group date — instead, it went back to the hotel after the fact, with him and Aaron having an intense back-and-forth. We don’t think Devin has come across great at times this season, but Aaron also came across as incredibly condescending with his “I just want to help him” talk and handing him a book about self-growth. Aaron’s whole argument is that Devin doesn’t have the depth for someone like Jenn … how do you really quantify that in such a short amount of time?

After all of this, it feels easy to say the mess is only just beginning.
