September is here, and with it comes The Bachelorette finale as Jenn Tran decides between Marcus, Devin, or no one. Jesse Palmer has said the ending will leave us on the edge of our seats, and Jenn told us we won’t see it coming, so what does that really mean? It’s truly anyone’s guess.
Of course, many fans are still reeling after Jenn sent Jonathon home last week instead of Marcus, especially since Marcus wasn’t able to tell Jenn he loves her or show much of a commitment. Also…Jonathon was just fantastic, period. And there’s the fact that Jenn’s mom and brother have concerns about the whole thing now that Jenn is days away from potentially getting engaged. Regardless, we’ll be sitting down with the Bachelorette after the finale to talk about everything that goes down.
While The Bachelorette is the biggest finale of the week, The Perfect Couple on Netflix is about to be the most-talked-about premiere. Starring Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, Eve Hewson, Dakota Fanning, Meghann Fahy, and others, the six-episode series is based on the best-selling book by Elin Hilderbrand and is visually stunning (Nantucket will do that), juicy, and exactly what our White Lotus–deprived souls need. It will be all anyone is talking about later this week, so don’t miss it. And check out the trailer below.
On the sports front, the US Open continues on ESPN and ESPN2, and the NFL season kicks off Thursday night on NBC with the Super Bowl champion Chiefs taking on the Baltimore Ravens in Kansas City. Taylor Swift will no doubt be in the house, as will Donna Kelce, and I couldn’t be more excited.
With that, have a relaxing Labor Day weekend. I’ll see you back here next week to preview the return of Emily in Paris part 2, the presidential debate showdown between VP Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, and the already much buzzed-about VMAs.
