Bachelorette Producers React to Surprise Rodent Cameo: 'Everyone Deserves to Find Love!'
The producers of the Bachelorette are in a bit of a tizzy after sharp-eyed fans spotted two unexpected guests scurrying through a scene during the season premiere.
While Bachelorette Jenn Tran was busy meeting Sam N. for the first time, two blurry figures darted past them and promptly became the stars of the internet. The producers, however, are taking it in stride. "You'll notice there were two of them,” they told Entertainment Weekly. “Everyone deserves to find love!"
During the episode, which aired on Monday, the internet quickly latched onto the moment, sharing clips of the tiny intruders on social media. Jenn and Sam didn’t notice the furry photobombers, but viewers sure did. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, "Sorry, but do two rats run across the background?” Another chimed in, “It seems like they also want to have a moment... LOL.” Over on TikTok, comments ranged from "I had to see if I was the only one that saw this," to "Not Mickey and Minnie in the back."
Breaking tradition from the usual Bachelor Mansion, Jenn's season premiered at Hummingbird Nest Ranch, a private venue in Southern California's Santa Susana Mountains. Despite the rodent cameos, Jenn's journey to find love is off to a dramatic start.
Even with the unexpected rodent drama, Sam N. still managed to score a rose from Jenn. The episode wrapped up with the announcement that the group will soon be heading off to Melbourne, Australia. Let's hope their next stop is rat-free!
