Bachelorette Star Jenn Tran Handled A DWTS Mishap Like A Pro

The Bachelorette’s Jenn Tran grappled with a major technical issue during her latest Dancing with the Stars routine.

Along with her dance pro partner, Sasha Farber, the reality star took to the DWTS floor on Sept. 24 and performed a Great Gatsby-inspired tango routine to the 2013 song “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody” by Fergie, GoonRock, and Q-Tip. However, a musical glitch during the performance meant the dance partners couldn’t hear the track, throwing off their routine.

“I truly got very scared,” Tran told People of the “nerve-racking” mishap. “Muscle memory just powered over, and I just kept going, and I just did what I had to do.”

“I’m honestly really proud of myself too because I do think something like that could really mess with someone’s head,” she added, before crediting her DWTS partner as someone she can “rely on.”

Speaking to the outlet after their routine, Farber also praised Tran’s handling of the technical issue, calling her a “true professional.” Thanks to her composure, the couple managed to earn a score of 19 out of 30. DWTS judge Bruno Tonioli was particularly impressed by Tran’s efforts, comparing her to a “sassy, glossy, mischievous little kitten.”

Tran and Farber also managed to escape the episode’s double vote-off. During the Sept. 24 episode, Anna Delvey and Tori Spelling became the first two contestants to leave the competition. The results led to a viral moment when DWTS co-host Julianne Hough asked Delvey what she’d take away from her ballroom experience. “Nothing,” Delvey declared.

Jenn’s DWTS Journey So Far

Many supporters hope Tran has a healing experience on the show. She joined the cast of Dancing with the Stars Season 33 soon after taping the live Bachelorette finale on Sept. 3, during which she revealed her now ex-fiancé, Devin Strader, had broken up with her.

“I got off stage, was crying in my dressing room, and then they’re like, ‘Alright, 45 minutes, you gotta get on a flight. We’re doing it,’” she recalled to Us Weekly.

Following her DWTS debut on Sept. 17, viewers have been paying close attention to Tran and Farber’s social media activity — and one TikTok of the pair recently caught fans’ attention.

In the viral clip, Tran is seen enjoying ice cream in a car next to her dance partner. “We just stopped at McDonalds,” Farber says, before asking, “Babe, can I have some?” Fans quickly commented on the TikTok, pointing out Farber’s term of endearment.

“Excuse me, babe?!” one follower commented. “The chemistry is loud! Obsessed with you two.”
