KRABI, THAILAND: Following the March 13 episode of 'The Bachelor,' fans have a cause to think they know who will be sent home next. Based on that, as well as spoilers from our Spoiler King, Reality Steve, we can affirm that Ariel Frenkel's 'Bachelor' adventure will conclude in Thailand.

On Monday, March 13, 'The Bachelor' Season 27 broadcasted its hometown round in Episode 8. Zach Shallcross paid visits to the residences and families of four suitresses in the episode: Charity Lawson, Gabi Elnicki, Kaity Biggar, and Ariel. Zach sent Charity home during the rose ceremony at the conclusion of the episode, so the surviving three progressed to the fantasy suite round. Following the latest episode, fans anticipated that Zach would wind up with Kaity and that Ariel would be the next individual to leave the show after her confession. Well, it seems like Ariel is going home, as per Reality Steve.

Ariel gets sent home after Fantasy Suite date

While it is unknown whom Zach will choose on his engagement day, his final three overnight companions have been unveiled. Gabi, Ariel, and Kaity are the lucky three, according to the newest episode, which was broadcast last week.

Zach and his top trio of contenders enjoy fantasy suite dates in Krabi, Thailand, as the show resumes the enviable travel that was suspended due to Covid-19. While it's unknown who will be sent home after sharing the night with Zach, the rose ritual will undoubtedly be "the most dramatic" ever.

On 'The Bachelor' Season 27, Ariel had a one-on-one date with Zach. Her one-on-one engagement was in Tallinn, Estonia, in week six, where she got Zach's rose. In week eight, she also had a Hometown Date with Zach in her birthplace of New York City, New York. Reality Steve, on the other hand, claimed that Ariel was eliminated in third place after her Fantasy Suite date with Zach in Krabi, Thailand, where the finale and Final Rose Ceremony were recorded.



 

'Falling in love with you'

During her Hometown visit, Ariel explains that Zach does not need to be concerned about her folks. Bobby, her sibling, is said to be very possessive of her. Bobby confesses to Zach that he is skeptical because the program is an "unorthodox" method of dating. So he wants to know why Ariel chose Zach. Zach tries to respond to the question, but he says he has a large heart, that he has come to know Ariel very well, and that he is very secure in his relationship with Ariel. Bobby, on the other hand, is dissatisfied, pointing out that Zach and Ariel come from distinct backgrounds, with Ariel and her brothers being first-generation Americans. He inquires as to how Zach plans to "reconcile" their disagreements, and Zach appears exasperated, but he believes they will be able to work it out. Bobby now inquires as to Ariel's birthdate and second name, to which Zach has no response. He wonders how Zach can claim to know her without knowing these minor details, but Zach insists that he doesn't need to know those specifics to love her.

Zach now has to meet with her father, who describes himself as a "demanding person," as if her sibling wasn't intimidating enough. He inquires as to what distinguishes Ariel from Zach, and Zach responds with her kindness and ability to make him feel secure and relaxed. During their conversation, Bobby meets with Ariel to assess her interest in Zach, confessing that he is still skeptical of the chronology. Ariel claims she recognized she had feelings for Zach before they grew serious, and she believes he could be her "forever person," but Bobby isn't convinced. Ariel's father informs Zach that he trusts Ariel's choices, but he is concerned if Zach will choose her again. Her father believes he's sweet, but he's not sure Zach and Ariel are meant to be. Ariel informs her father that she understands how difficult it is for him to comprehend, but she is ready to get engaged to Zach at the end of this.

When they leave Ariel's family, both of them are nervous, but Ariel tells Zach that she is falling in love with him. She claims that her family has never questioned her like that before, but it was well worth it, and Zach concurs.

Will Ariel be the next person to bite the dust? Tune into ABC for a brand-new episode of 'The Bachelor' on March 20 sharp at 8 PM ET.
