I Read This 'Bachelorette' Finale Theory Weeks Ago and I'm Convinced This Is How Jenn's Season Ends

It's finally here: The finale of Jenn Tran's history-making season of The Bachelorette arrives next Tuesday and we'll all find out how her journey ends. And while I generally avoid Reality Steve like the plague because I don't want any spoilers (and he tends to, well, spoil the whole thing), one Reddit discussion thread from the night The Bachelorette premiered weeks ago included a nugget that I can't quite ignore. And now, seeing the trailer for next week's episode, I'm even more convinced than ever that I know what's going to happen. (Warning: Don't read ahead unless you want to hear the theory, which I'm now positive has to be true.)

After this week's Men Tell All episode, we got a last teaser before the epic finale where we'll discover who Jenn chooses (and if a proposal is involved). In the footage above, we get a lot of the typical Bachelorette producer editing, with uber-dramatic statements like, "I wanna be able to dictate my own life," and, "No Bachelorette has ever ended her journey like this."

And as far as that last statement from host Jesse Palmer, I believe it to be true.

From the premiere episode featuring Jonathan and his adorable "patient" routine to the Tell All where Jenn delivered an epic takedown of one of the men, it's been a season . And while a lot has happened, this week's new finale trailer kind of rehashes what the season trailer gave us at the end of the very first episode.

At the end of the first episode, ABC gave us what they always give us: a look ahead at the season with very carefully edited clips. These clips are cleverly crafted to make it seem like certain things will happen that will inevitably not happen, and vice versa.

We get a lot of quotes that are supposed to make us feel a certain way (I don't have any inside knowledge here, it's just what ABC's smart editors always do). She says, "I also see a future where I end up alone." She later says, "I have to choose myself." Jesse (again) reveals that a decision she's making has never been made by any Bachelorette before. The video concludes with her putting her final rose back on the pedestal.

All of this is meant to imply that maybe she chooses "herself," AKA none of the guys. But it can't really be that simple, which is where the above-mentioned Reddit thread comes in.

One Reddit user chimed in with the idea, "I think Jenn will propose to the future fiancé. Hear me out. In first clip she says, 'I can’t let you propose to me.'" The user continued, "Jesse says, 'No bachelorette has ever done this before.' I think Jenn will bend the knee at the end."

After reading this theory, I'm convinced it has to be right (and I'm not the only one—the post did get 26 upvotes after all!). Jenn proposing to her choice of man would align with all of the soundbites from the trailer. It certainly would be unprecedented. And it would be great TV.

Again, I have no more insight than you do as to what happens, but you can bet I'll be tuning in this week to find out. The Bachelorette finale airs Tuesday, September 3 on ABC.
