Bachelor 27 - Zach Shallcross - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

@Sprite me too. If she's so confident it's true why not put it out there. Now everyone is begging her to spill. Millsy is having fun with her, inviting her to the ATFR. She would have to divulge the info and take a chance on being wrong.

The recent preview for Monday shows Kaity wearing the white dress we saw in the leaked finale pic of her and Zach! Gabi’s dress is yellow.

Not sure how to bring over.

@southerngirlatheart interesting that we do have Gabi now in an FRC dress. Guess if she self-eliminates it’s before the proposal…or Zach just breaks her heart!

@luvstx I think she goes to the FRC.. and he breaks up with her!JMO

Everything to me is just pointing to Zach breaking up with Gabi and getting engaged to Kaity. We’re also apparently getting a preview of charity at the finale too, so I’m gonna guess there’s no big drama post show either since it’s only one night and they have time for the charity segment too. I’m gonna guess it’s a traditional ending with Zach hashing it out with Ariel and Gabi (probably catching some lumps from Gabi and the audience there) , but then Kaity is there and they’re still engaged. I don’t hate it. I think we needed a normal ending

Zach & Kaity were on GMA this morning and she said he's taking her out for a special dinner tonight. They looked pretty good considering they had to travel overnight. The benefits of youth.  

'Bachelor' star Zach Shallcross, Kaity Biggar talk moving in together, wedding plans

Does anyone know if they were on Kelly & Ryan today? If so, does anyone have the link? TIA

Mike Fleiss is stepping down from the creative team of the Bachelor franchise after more than 20 years.

Season 27, which just ended Monday night with the engagement of Zach Shallcross and Kaity Biggar, is his final season with the franchise. Claire Freeland, Jason Ehrlich, and longtime executive producer Bennett Graebner will be taking over as executive producers and showrunners for the franchise.

“First and foremost, congratulations are in order for Zach and Kaity. I wish them a long and happy life together. I want to thank WBTV and ABC for 21 extraordinary years. They’ve found the perfect creative team for me to entrust The Bachelor franchise and keep this lightening in a bottle bold and moving forward. Let the journey continue,” Fleiss said.

Fleiss created The Bachelor, which debuted in 2002 led by 31-year-old Alex Michel, a Harvard educated management consultant from Charlottesville, Virginia. He is also the creative force behind The Bachelorette, which followed a year later with 29-year-old Trista Rehn as the leading lady.

Outside of The Bachelor, Fleiss has been involved in reality series including Who Wants To Marry A Multi-Millionaire and High School Reunion as well as horror films including The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and the Hostel franchise.

Freeland was formerly showrunner of The Bachelor franchise in Canada, Erlich has been showrunner on several seasons of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor Pad in the U.S. and Graebner has been a longtime exec producer on the franchise.

Freeland, who was also an executive in development and original programming at Rogers Media and Corus Entertainment, has worked on shows such as The Property Brothers and Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan.

Erlich is also the creator of E!’s The Bradshaw Bunch and Amazon’s Shatner in Space.

@Jeepers Great news! But what is going to replace 'Fleissed'?

I don't know if this is where this news goes, so feel free to move it. According to Variety, Mike Fleiss is now no longer part of the Bachelor Franchise.
