It seems The Bachelorette season 21 runner-up Marcus Shoberg is stirring up quite the buzz after his time on the show. While fans were expecting the usual post-show gratitude towards Jenn Tran and the overall experience, Marcus instead posted a lengthy reflection on his personal journey, completely omitting Jenn from the conversation.
For context, during the finale, Marcus and Jenn amicably parted ways after it became clear Marcus wasn’t ready for an engagement, leaving Jenn to pursue Devin Strader. While viewers hoped for a heartfelt goodbye from Marcus, his Instagram post focused entirely on his emotional growth and past struggles, specifically related to a traumatic military accident. He shared how his life challenges have shaped him and explained that being vulnerable is part of his healing process. However, many fans took issue with the fact that Marcus made no mention of Jenn, or the show that gave him such a platform.
Naturally, Bachelor Nation voiced their displeasure on social media, calling out Marcus for what they saw as self-centeredness. Some questioned whether he was truly there for love or just for fame, while others pointed out how previous contestants, like Jonathon Johnson, had shown respect and admiration for the lead, even after not winning.
As of now, it’s unclear if Marcus plans to post something acknowledging Jenn, but fans are closely watching his social media for updates. For now, it looks like his decision to focus solely on his personal story has left many viewers unimpressed.
