I think his bio answers he gave are a pretty good indicator and also looking at his Instagram pictures and tweets he makes. He likes live music, antique shops, country dancing, fishing, watching soccer, very close to his family, etc. You can tell a lot from just that! Not that I'm stalking or anything...:giggle:

I love that Zak is a free spirit, intelligent, successful, witty and romantic. They could do far worse for a Bachelor lead, IMHO.

Unfortunately, most of America did not get the joke - that Zak was spoofing how the producers constantly showed a shirtless Sean during his season - and many of those viewer are not able to get past Zak's "Will you accept these abs?" entrance at the Meet and Greet on night one. Luckily for Zak, Des did get it and kept him around anyway!!

For me personally, after many seasons of seeing what others guys before him did during the Meet and Greet - like the man with the mask, the guy dressed up as a grandmother, or the man carrying an egg, ect. etc. - Zak's shirtless entrance did not bother me, and I got the humor behind it. But if I had not known that he made it all the way to the hometown dates, then I probably would have been shocked that he made it to the F4 (based soley on the first night alone).

But here is the thing about Zak. Unlike a lot of the other guys that are there, he is someone that continues to impress me and is growing on me each week. Yes, he might not be considered the most classically handsome guy there among the F4, but since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, if I were asked to rank the F4 by looks alone, then Zak would be ranked ahead of the actual F1, who I am not remotely attracted to.

But, I don't know if there are enough of those of us out there who can appreciate what else Zak brings to the table, so I doubt that we will see him as the next Bachelor. However, that is not necessarily a bad thing. I just hope that his "experience" on TB ends up being a good one for him and that he can find his "F1" out there in the real world. I really like the person that Zak appears to be. He has turned out to be a breath of fresh air on this otherwise stale season of the Bachelorette. Without him there, it would just be less entertaining for me.

Maybe, Zak will be able to chat with us here once the season is over with. That would be really neat. :Smiley:

Now, he attracts me more than any other guy this season, but it didn't start out that way. Personality creates the sex appeal, not abs. And his kissing style is pretty danged hawt. :fanningfan

Just for fun while we wait for tonight's epi, thought I'd find some Zak to bring forward.

I like the black and white SC...sort of reminds me of Steve Nash in that picture.

I wonder if Cat ever saw Nate at one of the nude beaches she spoke about. He likes being an exhibitionist. Look how many times he got naked as compared to any other guy before. Having said that. Zak is not irking me as much any more. I do like brainy men.

Zak kind of reminds me of Justin Theroux ( Jennifer Aniston's Fiance) IMO.
