Is Myrtle Beach’s Own Sam M. Playing the Villain in ‘The Bachelorette’?
In the current season of “The Bachelorette,” Myrtle Beach’s Sam M., known as Sam McKinney in real life and simply as Sam M. on the show, has been charming audiences and lead Jenn Tran alike with his “sexy cowboy” looks and athleticism. However, recently he’s also been showing a more confrontational side, leading to questions about whether he’s emerged as the season’s villain.
A Quick Rise to Bachelor Stardom on the Show
In the opening episodes, Sam M., a 27-year-old contractor, earned much fan appreciation and won Tran’s heart, let alone receiving the coveted “First Impression Rose.” He was promptly labeled a “sexy cowboy” by Tran and regularly struggled to “keep it PG” during their most romantic moments. However, his ongoing dispute with other suitors, notably Houston’s Devon Strader, may obstruct his path to “happily ever after.”
Lingering Friction with Contestant Devon Strader
The show’s narrative recently has been dominated by an ongoing feud between Sam M. and Strader, a freight company owner from Houston. While Sam M. was a voice of reason in earlier episodes, he was unreservedly confrontational in his confessionals over this issue. He also had no qualms about expressing his disapproval directly to Strader, leading to high drama on the show.
At the end of a recent episode, he chose to address Strader directly: “Long story short, bro, I don’t respect you. I don’t like you. I want nothing to do with you. If you want to talk, we can step outside, and we will talk, but don’t speak on me.”
Participation in Group Dates
The first group date of the episode, which featured competitors receiving training from male adult dancers, also saw Sam M. take center stage. Donning an apron and assuming the character “Chef Flustered,” Sam M. was clearly in his comfort zone during his solo performance, garnering cheers from the audience and provoking some intriguing comments from Tran and her fellow judges from the Australian spinoff of the show.
Future Prospects
With his combative approach, Sam M. has certainly ruffled a few feathers, declaring, “If it’s a competition, I’m going to step on your neck.” Whether Sam M.’s competitive spirit will help or hinder his chances on “The Bachelorette” remains to be seen. As the show progresses, viewers remain captivated by his conduct and its potential impact on his prospects of emerging victorious.
