Is Jenn Tran getting sympathy votes? 'DWTS' Season 33 contestant enters the show after emotional heartbreak
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Dancing With The Stars' Season 33 has invited 'The Bachelorette' star Jenn Tran soon after she wrapped up filming the After the Final Rose special, where she revealed she and fiancé Devin Strader had broken up. Jenn's dramatic heartbreak seemingly might help her get sympathy votes.
During the premiere episode, Jenn performed Cha Cha with her dance pro partner Sasha Farber on Miley Cyrus's song, 'Flowers'. The song playfully echoes her own story of heartbreak and seems like another ironic move. Jenn has also reflected on her heartbreak claiming, "I truthfully felt like my heart was getting ripped out of my chest," tugging at viewers's heartstrings.
However, she admitted to gracing the dance floor with a little bit of vengeance, and the ABC show also seemingly promoted her heartbreak. Additionally, 'DWTS' host Alfonso Ribeiro skillfully teased Jenn's performance with his tantalizing announcements before each brief break, keeping viewers glued to their screens.

However, he also criticized her performance and claimed that she got ahead of the music. Meanwhile, Bruno Tonioli claimed that it was a quality cha-cha performance and Jenn has a natural sense of music. He also suggested that Jenn needs to work on foot placement.
