On The Bachelorette's second episode, Thomas N. memorably scolded and lashed out at Devin Strader for stealing Jenn first at a cocktail party in Melbourne when more than a handful of men had a group date cut short and were hoping to make up time with The Bachelorette star.

And then on The Bachelorette's third episode that aired on July 22, Thomas N. and Sam McKinney joined forces in their attacks against Devin.


The pals were shown trashing Devin behind his back, with Thomas N. venting "f-ck Devin" and Sam M. calling the controversial bachelor "an ankle-biting dog."

Thomas N. and Sam M. later got into another argument with Devin ahead of the third Rose Ceremony of Jenn's season. Thomas yelled about how Devin always had to have "the last word," but all three men received roses from Jenn.

And based on The Bachelorette previews that have recently aired, Thomas N. isn't going to back down any time soon.

"Devin has twisted Jenn into his little web of lies," Thomas N. complains in one clip.

The Bachelor alums Rachel Recchia and Ben Higgins aren't fans of Thomas Nguyen

According to Season 19 The Bachelorette star Rachel Recchia and Season 20 The Bachelor star Ben Higgins, Thomas N. may actually be to blame for the drama and tension in the house.

"Right now, if I had to pick a side, I'm on Devin's side because Thomas continues to be this character [in conflict]," Ben told Rachel on the July 23 episode of "The Ben & Ashley I: Almost Famous Podcast."

Ben elaborated of Thomas, "He's not just doing this with Devin.... he's continuing to get himself into the drama, and so I have to think that maybe Devin isn't the one at fault here -- or he isn't the problem."

Rachel said she "completely" agreed with Ben, and she went on to share, "I think Thomas is a bit of a bully. I [don't like] the way he was treating [Sam Nejad]."

Rachel confessed, however, she's "not a fan" of either Thomas or Devin, and that they've both been giving her "the ick" while watching Jenn's The Bachelorette season.


Ben said it seemed Thomas "stepped into the drama" from "out of nowhere" and his confrontation with Devin during a Melbourne cocktail party -- which had left Jenn alone in a room with her glass of champagne -- was "not necessary."

Ben noted, "I don't think it was appropriate at that time," and Rachel added, "I think, at this point, I'm over both Thomas and Devin."

The Bachelorette bachelor Grant Ellis even recently said he "wouldn't have done" what Thomas did in that situation, adding, "We don't owe you guys [time]. I'm going to give you time to go on a date with somebody who could be my future wife? I'm okay with that!"
