The Bachelorette season 21 is in full swing, and there is some speculation that the failure to present Devin Strader as the show's villain proves that the show doesn't care about Jenn Tran. Jenn, a 26-year-old physician's assistant, made her television debut last year during The Bachelor season 28. Jenn was one of the 32 eligible women who dated 28-year-old tennis professional Joey Graziadei. Jenn was a fan favorite and widely considered to be one of the front-runners for Joey's heart, but she was eliminated the week before the hometown visits.
It is often said that when one door closes, another opens, and that's what happened to Jenn, who was then chosen to lead The Bachelorette season 21. There was a lot of controversy about her selection because several women had allegedly already turned down the role before it was offered to Jenn. The season opened with Jenn meeting 25 eligible bachelors, including Devin Strader, a 28-year-old freight company owner from Texas. Some fans have speculated that Devin is the season's villain, but is that a fair assessment?
Devin May Have A Problematic Background
His Social Media Is Under Scrutiny
Some fans have questioned Devin's social media behavior, but the accusations are unclear. Though The Bachelorette season 21 contestant hasn't been accused of posting anything questionable himself, some people have alleged that he liked or otherwise responded to questionable posts. It has become a common occurrence in modern life to go after people based on social media behavior, but this is an unfair way to judge a person's character.
Devin may indeed be a villain, but it won't be because he liked questionable social media posts.
Devin Doesn't Come Off Authentic
People Think He's Too Charming
Bachelor Nation fans are known to make snap judgments about contestants at first sight, and that's exactly what happened to Devin. From the moment The Bachelorette season 21 contestant stepped out of the limousine and told Jenn that it's not every day he meets his future wife, it was clear that Devin had a considerable amount of swagger.
That same charm that caught Jenn's eye can also read as shady, which may be why some see Devin as this season's villain.
Is Devin The Real Villain Of The Bachelorette Season 21?
He Stirs Up Drama
Devin has made quite a name for himself during The Bachelorette season 21, but not for the reason he may like. Devin has been accused of stirring up drama among the other men. Not only has he interrupted other men's time with Jenn, but he has also been very aggressive in terms of getting time with Jenn. Though this behavior may be driven by the fact that Devin likes Jenn, there has been some speculation that Devin is a clout chaser using the show for fame.
