    This week on "Playing the Field," Dani Beckstrom from WABC fills in for Ryan Field. As usual, Jen Matarese from WABC and Gina Sirico from KABC join the podcast to break down this latest episode. We join Jenn in Seattle where she needs to narrow the field from seven men down to four. She has a one-on-one with Marcus where she learns about his past, his family, and his struggles. We also get a visit from some past "Bachelorettes" and contestants. Next, she has a group date where she tries to figure out why Sam M. is "in love" with her. She decides not to hand out the group date rose because she is just too confused. Jenn then has her final date as a one-on-one with Jeremy. He got the date rose after charming her during their time at the Pike's Place Market and during a romantic dinner where they talked a lot about their religious backgrounds and what they want for the future. How did the team feel during Jenn's powerful conversation with Sam? For Gina, it was a long time coming! At the end of the episode, we learn our final four is Devin, Marcus, Jeremy, and Jonathon. Sam was already eliminated, but Jenn also eliminated Grant and Spencer. Next week, we head to the men's hometowns! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Man from Jenn's past crashes 'The Bachelorette'

    Man from Jenn's past crashes 'The Bachelorette'
    Jul 30 2024
    This week on "Playing the Field" Ryan Field, Jen Matarese, and Gina Sirico break down episode 4 of "The Bachelorette." Jenn Tran meets her 12 remaining men in New Zealand. She goes on a one-on-one date with Sam M. Is the chemistry still there? Did his unwillingness to listen to her at Sky Tower hurt his chances or did he do enough to recover from his missteps during the evening portion of their date? Sam M.'s family, meantime, has hit social media with claims that he is getting a bad edit. The group date took to the rugby pitch to let Jenn watch the men face off. It did bring out their competitive nature, especially for Sam N. Did our love virgin come on too strong or was he DOA? Also, Jonathon and Marcus both seemed to advance their relationships with Jenn. Finally, Devin didn't have to steal time, it was all his! He got a one-on-one date where they explored the culture of the region. He loved learning about the traditions and the date brought up a lot of conversation about family and religion. They have a lot in common due to being raised primarily by their mothers and both having fathers that they don't have relationships with at this point in time. Devin also told Jenn he was falling for her. Jenn said in an interview, not in front of Devin, that she could see him as her future fiancé. But wait, who is this? It's Matthew, Jenn's ex crashing the show. He dated Jenn for a few months three years ago. Jenn thought they were just friends, but Matthew flew across the globe to tell her he loves her and he's ready for a real relationship and to get engaged. Wow. That's a lot! Should she allow him on the show? What will the guys think? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    "Playing the Field" is back with your host Ryan Field and "Bachelor" insiders Gina Sirico from KABC, and Jennifer Matarese from WABC. This week, Jenn and her remaining 15 men continued their romantic journey in Melbourne, Australia. This week starts different than most, with a one-on-one date! Spencer gets his chance to take things to new heights with Jenn aboard a helicopter ride along the coast. They have an amazing time, but is there enough of a spark to go the distance? Next up, the team breaks down Jenn's group dates. One group date is huge! Ten men and Jenn go to "Thunder Down Under" where the guys learn some moves. There could be multiple categories for who looked the best, who danced the best, and who had the most confidence, but on the show, only one man got the top honor. Later, Jenn takes four lucky men on a race car driving date as Aaron contemplates chasing his dreams over continuing to date Jenn. In the end, he decides to bow out. But, before he does he tells Jenn that some men are not ready to get engaged while others are not there for the "right reasons." But who? We can safely assume he's referring to Devin, but he makes it sound like several men fall into these categories. He tells Jenn she needs to figure it out for herself. Was that cruel for him to do? Season 21 of The Bachelorette starring Jenn Tran airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/ PT on ABC. Episodes air the next day on Hulu. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
