Tran is a 26-year-old New Jersey native who made her Bachelor Nation debut on Joey Grazidei's season.

During the premiere episode, Brett Harris a 28-year-old Health and Safety Manager from Manheim, PA melted audiences' hearts as a"small-town boy [who] has big dreams when it comes to finding love," as stated in his Bachelor Biography.

In one scene, Brett showed off the "party trick" he is known for doing the splits on command, and everyone — but Jenn — was impressed.

When it was announced that Brett would not be back next week as one of the men competing for Jenn's heart, there was an outpouring on social media to bring him back as "The Bachelor" candidate.

Not only were fans rooting for a comeback, they also seemed to claim that the first-ever Asian-American candidate was fat-phobic in eliminating the only larger man.
