Bachelor 27 - Zach Shallcross - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Dang, nothing against Zach but I was hoping for a surprise.

NEW: I hear Zach will be the next [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. ABC declined to comment on my sourcing, so nothing official, but it's expected to be announced during next week's finale.

I also hear that Nate was in the running, along with others who were in consideration. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

But I guess his reluctance to get engaged shot him in the foot???

It did for me!.,..Anyway, glad they chose Zach, he's very emotional, ready for a relationship/engagment, genuine, good looking, romantic and he has a great family! Women will go nuts and it will make for a lot of women drama! Truly hope it will be him!

I think Zach is a nice/good guy but not overly enthused for him as bachelor.

If I were WB, I might have chosen Aven for that exact reason.
Then I would have fired the entire executive team and hired the people who produced the early Australian seasons.
Still, Zach seems like a good guy. I hope he will be able to stand up for himself just a little bit more than TPTB expect.

(SPOILER): As we know, Caila filmed an intro video and we thought she was Bachelorette until they went with JoJo.

But from what I’ve been told, it’s going to be Zach. And here is footage I was sent today from this past Saturday of Zach filming his intro video in Austin. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Oh, Zach...I do hope you've learned your lesson from this time...and done your homework and spoke with some previous leads...but I doubt it. Let the tears flow...I suspect most of them will be yours.

I’m not that excited about Zach, but there could be worse choices. IMO.

He certainly got the broken hearted F3 next bachelor edit that we've seen so many times in the past. Erich had the leap of faith date. Sleuthing usually gets it right because lucky for us TPTB copy and paste season after season.

Also this post of August 16th. He posted one more with Rachel and Zach after these two.

This is the second IG post Cary has posted with Zach. He has not posted any other IG's with other contestants.

I'm going against the popular opinion here. I started out not particularly liking Zach as I found him quite vanilla. But my interest in him and respect for him grew when he challenged Rachel. He seems very self-aware and that trait usually serves the lead very well. He's mature and has very good manners and is very well spoken. My only concern is there will be a bunch of young bimbos on his season and that is always a turn off.

TA especially the last line. Can’t trust the recruiters to being in quality girls that match him. JMO.

Oh no not Zach I wanted Jason but I guess he is too private.

Am I correct in saying that Zach is 25 yrs old? if so then I agree alot of young bimbos for sure making it another season of drama, cat fights and tears and less possibility of lasting relationship. jmo
