Jenn Tran Rooted for Fellow ‘Bachelorette’ Gabby Windey on ‘The Traitors,’ Admits She’d ‘Probably’ Be a Faithful Herself (Exclusive) ArticlePure

Warning: This story contains spoilers from season 3 finale of The Traitors.

Jenn Tran wanted to see a fellow Bachelorette alum emerge from The Traitors victorious.

Jenn, 27, recently spoke exclusively to PEOPLE about watching former Bachelorette star Gabby Windey on the latest season of The Traitors

Jenn was the most recent “Bachelorette” for season 21, which aired in 2024. Gabby, 34, starred in the series’ 19th season in 2022. That season there were two bachelorettes: Gabby and Rachel Recchia.

Jenn told PEOPLE that she thinks the experience of being the “Bachelorette” can help someone’s strategy in the Peacock game show. “I definitely feel I have a better read on people now after dating 25 men at once and having to categorize them and figure them out,” she said. 

Gabby shared a similar sentiment during the season 3 reunion that aired on Thursday, March 6. She told host Andy Cohen that her time on The Bachelorette helped her in the castle.

“Oh, you sniff out the bulls— fast, dating 26 men. Boys,” she said before adding, “And now I’m gay!”

Gabby announced on Wednesday, March 5, that she and her girlfriend Robby Hoffman secretly married in Las Vegas.

Jenn told PEOPLE she became hooked on the show, describing the gameplay and drama as “so incredible, so good.”

“The entire time I’m watching it I’m like, ‘How would I play this? I’m not a good liar,” she said, before acknowledging she’d “probably” be a faithful if cast.

However, the TV personality entertained the idea of going to the dark side of the traitors.

“Although it would be kinda fun to deceive people, do something out of my element, I think that’d be fun,” she said. “But I don’t know how good at [being a traitor] I would be.”

Ahead of Jenn’s conversation with PEOPLE, Gabby said, unlike the Bachelor franchise, “Traitors gives you a little more room to be yourself and see you in a different light,” she explained the Monday, Jan. 13 episode of The Nikki & Brie Show

“I feel like for us coming from our reality TV [shows], we don’t even know what the other sector is of real gaming, challenges, survivors, so I feel like we got a crash course,” she said to podcast host and Traitors costar, Nikki Garcia. 

“I’m like, ‘This is not what I signed up for! I’m showing up in a full beat. My hair’s done and teased, in a sick outfit that a stylist planned, and you want me to do these crazy challenges and think like a Survivor person? Like, this is crazy.’ But they were great.”

Despite not coming from a competition show background, Windey took home the cash prize of $204,300 alongside fellow faithfuls Dolores Catania, Dylan Efron, Ivar Mountbatten.

While the next season of The Traitors hasn’t even been filmed, you can catch Jenn on an upcoming episode of Stir the Pot with Kelli Mi Li through the SPECTRUM TV SELECT PLAN on ChimeTV.
