The Bachelorette viewers SLAM 'douche' Sam McKinney after he shocks Jenn Tran with 'HORRIBLE' radio confession

The Bachelorette's latest dumped star Sam McKinney left viewers' skin crawling after he brazenly admitted to Jenn Tran's face that she is not his type during a group date that was intended to bring them closer.

In cringeworthy scenes that aired on Monday night, the 27-year-old singleton 'revealed his true colors' during his radio show interview with Jenn, 26, who invited each bachelor into the studio for a one-on-one debrief.

During her sit down with Sam, which was watched by the rest of the group, she asked what his first impressions were and how they had evolved over time.

While the questions should have been pretty straightforward to answer, Sam fumbled so badly, leaving fans so appalled that they branded him 'the biggest ick.'

He said: 'I almost didn't even come here, and I thought, no, like, there's an opportunity to find my wife here and that's exactly what I'm going to do.

During Monday's episode, Jenn, 26, brought each bachelor into the studio, including Sam, 27, for one-on-one interview time 

'And then I got out of the limo. I'm like, "Okay, this girl is not my type."

'Like, this is that whole idea of, like, the unknown right there. I thought the bachelorette was going to be Daisy [Kent] or Maria [Georgas]. But, yeah, it was weird.

'Obviously, like, you're stunning, there's no doubt about that right there. But I know that that fades, but I think I trust the process. I truly feel like I'm meant to be here.

'My dream is to be a father, be a husband. My parents have been together for 30 plus years.'

The interview reached fever pitch when Jenn asked: 'Do you feel like you really know me?'

'Honestly, you know, I told you from early that my love language is physical touch,' he replied, before leaning across the table and kissing Jenn.

Unsurprisingly, the move did not sit well with Jenn, who vented in her confessional: 'I don't know why he's doing this.

'I need him to tell me why he sees me as his wife and what exact qualities in me that he sees that he wants in the future. I didn't feel as if I got any answers.'

The producers were visibly shocked by Sam's no holds barred comments 

Viewers were left with second-hand embarrassment by the scene - with one even branding it 'one of the worst' moments in the show's 21-year history

While the fellow bachelors cringed as they watched the interview, viewers were also left with second-hand embarrassment – with one even going as far as branding it 'one of the worst' moments in the show's 21-year history.

On Reddit, one wrote: 'Him saying she isn't his type and that he was expecting Daisy or Maria made me gasp.'

Another said: 'I've defended Sam in the past, as being edited to be more villainous than he actually is, but man this episode showed his true colors. What a douche.'

A third added: 'I wish I never witnessed that I was so embarrassed for that poor little man. That was one of the worst things I've seen happen on The Bachelorette.'

'Not only did I get the biggest ick, but I'm genuinely creeped out by Sam,' a fourth said.

A fifth posted: 'This was from start to finish, some of the craziest stuff I've seen. It's giving old school reality TV. I'm here for it lol.'

On X, another viewer declared: 'Sam M's radio confession/monologue is the worst thing I've had to sit through.'

Jenn ended up dumping Sam before the end of the episode

By the end of the episode, Jenn was well and truly done with Sam and she dumped him from the competition before the rose ceremony.

Following his exit, Sam took to Instagram to share a video statement in which he admitted that watching the show back had not been 'easy'.

'So y'all's kindness has gone so much further than what you know for me and for my family,' he said.

Captioning the post, he added: 'As tough as this was to watch, I'm thankful.

'Jenn's fearlessness in all aspects of this process showed me that it was possible for me to open myself back up after my past.

'Her ability to feel and respond to all of my emotions in every situation was something that I've never had. It's something that gives me hope for the future.

'I'm not perfect. And I don't claim to be. But I do know where my heart is and the love I have inside of me. And I'm looking forward to the day I get to share that with someone.'
