AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND: Austin Ott is a contestant on the popular reality TV show 'The Bachelorette' Season 21, where he is competing for the affections of the leading lady, Jenn Tran.

According to reality TV blogger Reality Steve, it has been revealed that Austin will be opting to remove himself from the competition in the upcoming Episode 5 of the show. This unexpected decision is sure to shake things up and leave fans eagerly anticipating what will unfold next in this dramatic and romantic journey.

Fans of the ABC dating show are expressing their disappointment with the producers for the lack of screen time given to Austin. Many viewers believe that Austin did not have enough opportunities to build a connection with Jenn, which may have led to his decision to exit the show. It appears that Austin's presence on the show was minimal, and fans are questioning why he was not featured more prominently in the episodes.

One social media user media user wrote, "Why is Austin getting no time when he looks like this!"

Another user commented, "Petition for Austin to get all of the screen time."

A user went on to say, "Austin has had no screen time. Hopefully we see him in paradise."

Followed by a fourth user who penned, "Austin is the most attractive, kind, soul person on that show!  He deserves more screen time."

One comment read, "I can literally see Jesus shining through this. I wish he got more screentime. He's my favorite."

'The Bachelorette' Season 21 star Austin Ott goes on group date with Jenn Tran

During the fourth episode of 'The Bachelorette' Season 21, Jenn Tran decided to take a group of ten contestants, which included Austin Ott, Spencer Conley, Marcus Shoberg, Grant Ellis, John Mitchell, Jonathan Johnson, Dylan Buckor, Thomas Nguyen, Jeremy Simon, and Sam Nejad, out on a group date.

Throughout the group date, Austin found it difficult to have any one-on-one time with Jenn. The group date involved the guys participating in a rugby game, where Sam displayed aggressive behavior but managed to lead his team to victory. Some of the other contestants felt that Sam was too intense during the game. In the end, Jenn chose Marcus to receive a rose during the rose ceremony.
