After the premiere episode of The Bachelorette, critics are coming out in droves over Jenn Tran’s approach to finding love. Unlike many Bachelors and Bachelorettes, Jenn was more conservative with how many kisses were doled out on the first night. However, she is getting slammed for her first kiss, but why?

Jenn Tran Is Making Her Mark

With the kick-off of The Bachelorette Season 21, some people think it is doomed from the get-go. Many fans were upset by Jenn Tran receiving the spot over some of the other ladies from the last Bachelor with Joey Graziadei. But Jenn has a lot going for her as she enters her love-finding journey and she isn’t letting a little doubt stand in her way. Markedly, she is the first Asian American Bachelorette, which is a beautiful thing just on its own. Likewise, some of the Bachelor Nation is rooting for one of the lucky guys to win her over during the next few weeks of wining and dining.

Why Did Fans Slam Jenn Tran’s First Kiss?

Although many of the previous Bachelors and Bachelorettes have seemingly gone on kissing sprees, Jenn Tran was more conservative with her smooches. Having reached the end of the first episode of talking with the new men, she hadn’t locked lips with any of them…until she selected her recipient for the “First Impression” rose. A few people recognized her restraint and sent messages via X.

  • Jenn so real not kissing the men until it feel right with the correct person especially on the first night #TheBachelorette.”
  • Furthermore, one fan was all about Jenn Tran getting her long-awaited kiss. “That was one of the hottest kisses this show has ever seen?? Like okayyyy get it Jenn #TheBachelorette.”

‘Feral’ First Kiss

But in the final stretch, Jenn Tran makes up for the reserved affection by landing a sensual kiss with Sam M. After bypassing all the other nervous suitors, Jenn takes Sam M. aside and offers him the prized first rose and assertively makes a move on him. Leaning into each other on the couch, the two turn the opportunity into a full-blown makeout session. Furthermore, Jenn said the kiss was admittedly, “feral” but she felt like she was on cloud nine.
