'The Bachelor' Season 27: Meet the 30 women vying for Zach Shallcross's heart
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Meet the women vying for Zach Shallcross' heart on Bachelor Season 27! On TikTok live on Wednesday, January 4, ABC revealed the ladies who will be 'dating' the 26-year-old software executive from Anaheim Hills, California on the show.
Given that the premiere of 'The Bachelor' with Zach Shallcross is in less than three weeks, isn't it past time for him to meet his women? Of course, as is often the case, we are entering the season with the anticipation that the suitors will be the star rather than the lead. Zach's duty is to find love, but also to respond to the chaos surrounding him. There will be squabbles, heartbreak, and antics. There will also be some cynical contestants who aren't there for him but only want to be on television and/or want to be on 'Bachelor in Paradise.' This will continue to be the case for the duration of the show.
