DWTS fans reveal theory on why Bachelorette Jenn Tran was added to new season cast ‘last minute’

JENN Tran has been cast on Season 33 of Dancing with the Stars, and Bachelor Nation has been conjuring up theories for the sudden addition.

During her Good Morning America appearance on Wednesday, The Bachelorette Season 21 lead revealed she would head to the ballroom for Dancing with the Stars this fall.

The news came one day after ABC fans watched the devastating finale of her season on Tuesday, where she revealed things had completely changed after her Hawaii engagement.

Jenn, 26, will fight for the Mirrorball Trophy with her partner Sasha Farber this season.

The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei will also compete for the title with pro dancer Jenna Johnson.

After the exciting news was revealed on social media, fans began sharing their theories on what appeared to be a sudden casting of Jenn on Season 33.

'THE LEAST THEY COULD DO!'

Many thought ABC felt guilty about her difficult finale episode and what she went through during her season.

"Getting her on DWTS is the least ABC could do, they were so evil for making her watch that proposal back! one commented on a TikTok video.

"DWTS apparently pays BANK…ABC doing reparations for real," a second theorized on Instagram.

"It’s the least they could do!" a third penned.

Some also thought the Bachelorette "deserved better" from the network.

"ABC/Bachelor sucks for always putting her last min. For example, last min. decision on being the bachelorette! Last minute decision being on DWTS. She deserves better!" one person said.

"Love Jenn and happy she will be on dwts but she deserves more than being a last minute addition on all these ABC shows," a fourth wrote.

"I would’ve told them to shove that lash ditch effort offer where the sun don’t shine," another added.

Despite Jenn being added to the roster late, many fans were still excited to see the reality star hit the dance floor.

"I actually love [that] she is on dwts. Its giving ariana mattix's come back era," someone wrote.

"SHE DESERVES TO BE ON THE SHOW!!" another exclaimed.

JENN'S GUTWRENCHING FINALE

During Tuesday's three-hour live finale event, Jenn was seen breaking down in tears while sitting onstage with host Jesse Palmer.

After flipping the switch and proposing to her final choice, Devin Strader, Jenn said he started pulling away when they returned home after filming.

The lead was heartbroken by Devin, who "ghosted" her and acted like a totally different person once the show ended.

Jenn said Devin chose to end their engagement over the past month as she raged over a few of his actions, including following Maria Georgas on Instagram.

Many people — including a few of Jenn's contestants — had originally thought that Maria, a standout from Joey's season of The Bachelor, would become the next Bachelorette.

Jenn was joined by her ex on stage for the first time since their breakup, where she sobbed and called him out for his unforgivable personality change.

She revealed he ended things over the phone, leaving her confused and lost as she attempted to offer solutions and fight for their relationship.

Near the end of the episode, Jesse asked Jenn if it would be OK to show her and Devin's proposal.

After noting that she "didn't have a choice," Jenn was forced to sit onstage and rewatch the "happiest moment of her life" that no longer carried any meaning.

Both Jenn and Devin proposed to one another, with Devin noting that he was "so in love" with Jenn as he kissed her.

Fans immediately fled to social media to support the Bachelorette and called the ABC series "evil."

"Watching this proposal is so evil...I'm actually in tears and if this is traumatizing ME how badly is this traumatizing jenn?" one person wrote on X.

"Boycott [Bachelor in Paradise] if they cast Devin. He played #TheBachelorette franchise and he went on for exposure and followers. Do better @ABCNetwork," a second complained.

"Gonna have to boycott #TheBachelorette until producers issue an apology to Jenn for airing this footage....FOUL of them," another said.
