(SPOILER): Zach is on a hometown date today with Kaitlyn Biggar in Austin, TX. This was filmed in the South Congress area. I love production with their snotty “You can’t take videos” comment. Really? In a public place right on the street? Uh, yes you can.
(SPOILER): Zach is on a hometown date today with Ariel Frenkel. Earlier today they were in Washington Square Park. Here they are headed into Sarge’s Deli & Diner in Murray Hill.
Zach Shallcross Is Announced as the Next Bachelor and He Sits Down with Jesse Palmer

Here is a recent quote with a link suggesting that producers may have helped Zach during the season with a positive edit. The theory may not exclusive to Zach or in fact, a standard used in propagating new leaders across the franchise. If you have followed more than three seasons then you already have your own examples to share with our audience.
Many fans feel Zach was set up to be The Bachelor’s lead because of his favorable edit throughout The Bachelorette season 19. Zach, 26, was a fan favorite throughout the season as he spent weeks connecting with Rachel Recchia. The two shared several dates, and it seemed they were headed toward a relationship. Rachel even met Zach’s family, after which he told her he was in love with her. Zach chose to leave weeks later after spending some time off-camera with Rachel. He believes he didn’t see the full picture of her personality while filming. Rachel cited Zach as not being ready for a serious relationship, but The Bachelor‘s Zach has refuted the marriage claim, saying he takes the opportunity “very seriously.”

Zach Shallcross Bachelor USA News Spoilers read Bachelor Nation and ABC
7 days ago per his bio on the ABC website, Shallcross is a tech executive based in Anaheim Hills, CA. His LinkedIn lists him as a Senior Cloud Technology Sales Executive at Oracle. The 26-year-old graduated from California Polytechnic State University in 2019 and said the experience was “absolutely worth it” in an Instagram post at the time.
Zach Shallcross, who fans saw vying for Rachel’s heart on “The Bachelorette,” was just announced as the next Bachelor. Check out his sit-down interview with Jesse Palmer above.
Bailey – She had a sticker that said “Hi my name is Bailey,” since Zach had a hard time remembering her name on the ATFR. Brooklyn – She had a haystack as part of her entrance since her background is a professional barrel racer. Christina – She arrived on a party bus. Greer – Did the tortilla slap challenge that’s kind of a craze on TikTok. Holland – Zach had his first 1-on-1 in Holland in with Rachel, and Holland made a joke to him about being in the wrong Holland. Mercedes – She brought a pig on a leash. Not sure why.

The first elimination was decided early. According to sources Madison Johnson was eliminated before the first rose ceremony. It is suggested that she used an over-aggressive approach and Zach ended her journey. Zach Shallcross Bachelor USA News Spoilers read

The other highlight of the first night 10 contestants were eliminated on the first episode. The result was that everyone got to be on a date in the early episodes.
Rose Ceremony #2: 20 to 17 (LA, CA)
Group Date: This was the group date that Victoria Fuller, Courtney Robertson, and Tahzjuan Perkins were “judges”. It was hosted by Latto, the rapper who sings “Big Energy.” Bailey, Brianna, Brooklyn, Cat Carter, Davia, Genevie, Kat, Kylee, and Mercedes. Brianna was awarded the “winner” for having the “big bitch energy” by Latto.
1-on-1: Christina Mandrell. This was the date at the Anaheim Hills golf course and then at the Orange County Mining Company for dinner. Christina got a rose.
The group date featured a puppet show with the girls acting out material which may progress into new reality shows for the parent company in 2023 or 2024. Take notes ABC.
Group Date: Each girl had to put on a puppet show. Gabby, Anastasia (in a bathrobe), Greer, Ally, Kimberly, Kaity, Ariel, Victoria, Charity, and Jessica.
Ally volunteered to go first. Her bit was using a puppet version of herself to practice her first kiss with Zach on an orange. Then a Zach puppet joined and the puppets kissed. When she came off stage to hug him, the audience said to kiss her but he didn’t.
Greer went second and apparently wasn’t very good. She had sock puppets.
Gabby went next. She had Gabby and Greer puppets and talked about them being sorority sisters and Greer getting the first impression rose. Then talked about them becoming sister wives.
Kimberly had an angel puppet and a devil puppet (like she had both of them sitting on her shoulder talking to her). She was talking about the first night coming out of the limo. And the angel would tell her nice things and the devil would say things to make her insecure. The angel would say things like that she looked great and deserved to be there. The devil would say everyone else was prettier and she didn’t deserve to be there. Basically a message about being confident in yourself.
Ariel mentioned being Ukrainian during her puppet show
Anastasia came up in her bathrobe. She had a hot tub prop set up (like a cardboard cutout type thing) and was wearing a bikini top under her robe. She brought Zach up on stage and had him pop a bottle of champagne while they pretended to be in the hot tub.
Kaity had puppets that looked like her and Zach and I think the premise was that they got married, and then “9 months later” her puppet is laying down giving birth. She made “labor” heavy breathing noises. She had Zach’s puppet-like look at the baby come out.
Charity had a puppet therapist that kept telling her to drink tequila for all of her problems. And then she did a shot of tequila on stage.
Jessica centered around the idea of finding a fairytale ending.
Victoria went last. Her costume was like a fortune teller box with a curtain. She talked about 2 years ago her house being flooded, and if she could get through that she could get through Zach dating 30 other women. She made a joke something along the lines of if they have a problem in the future (like a bridge to get over) they “shall cross” it together. So it was a play on his last name.

A self-elimination by Bailey was reported. The reason is not confirmed. Zach Shallcross Bachelor USA News Spoilers read.
Rose Ceremony Eliminations: Christina Mandrell. Her elimination a week after getting a rose I believe had to do with her behavior at the cocktail party. Heard she was acting erratic and might’ve been drinking too much.

1-on-1: Kat Izzo.
Group Date: Ariel, Aly, Charity, Kaity, Kylee, Anastasia, Davia, Gabby, Genevie, Greer, Jessica, and Mercedes.

Rose Ceremony #7: Budapest, Hungary (7 to 4)

Not sure if they did the “if you get a rose on the 1-on-1 you’re safe” and had no rose ceremony, but 7 women went to Hungary and I know that Brooklyn was sent home on her date. The other two women eliminated in Hungary were Kat Izzo and Greer Blitzer.
