'The Bachelorette' Season 21 fans bizarrely slam contestants for inappropriate 'skin-baring' outfits

'The Bachelorette' Season 21 contestant Jonathan Johnson made a dramatic entrance wearing nothing but a hospital gown, lying on a stretcher with a bandage on his face

SANTA SUSANA, CALIFORNIA: In the premiere episode of 'The Bachelorette' Season 21, viewers were introduced to Jenn Tran's suitors in a memorable way. One contestant, Jonathan Johnson, made a dramatic entrance wearing nothing but a hospital gown, lying on a stretcher with a bandage on his face.

In addition, Brendan Barnum grabbed attention by entering while eating two habanero peppers, showcasing his love for spicy food. Meanwhile, Hakeem Moulton made a memorable entrance with balloons tied to his chest.

Hakeem told Jenn that the balloons represented how he felt when he found out she was the Bachelorette, saying he was "on cloud nine." However, the audience is criticizing the contestants for exposing their ankles and for not wearing bottoms that fully cover them.

On X, one fan wrote, "Watching some of these entrances is aggravating. Hospital gown showing your bare butt and talking about your “big” p***. Jenn is a LADY, these dudes need to respect her more."

Another fan said, "Another year asking men to show a lil decorum and cover up their ankles."

One fan wrote, "Mans came in on a stretcher, head wrapped like the Weeknd, said he was lovesick and mooned her... whatever happened to "Hello"? " Another wrote, "These men r 😂😂😂."

"Let me tell you…none of these men are doing it for me. I’m sorry and I hate to sound mean, but most of them are making me cringe and very much giving," added another fan.
