Ariel Frenkel reveals the difficulty of dating Zach Shallcross
Ariel was well aware of the fact that Zach was also dating 29 other women except her. But, that was not happening in front of her eyes, and that made her feel like an "individual" in the story. She confessed, "throughout the entirety of our relationship, he is making me feel like an "individual"." She added, "So, the difficulty of dating someone who is dating 30 other people is that to feel like an individual." Ariel claimed that Zach made sure that she felt it throughout their journey. Even though Ariel was well aware of the fact that there were other women in the competition but she never felt threatened by it when she was on a one-on-one with Zach. Ariel claimed, "I just forgot that he really had other strong relationships." The reality hit Ariel when she stood in the rose ceremony round.
Did Ariel Frenkel sense the elimination before it happened?
Ariel believes "female intuition is so strong." Therefore, Ariel felt the elimination before it happened. The star confessed in the podcast, "He wasn't making eye contact and he wasn't looking to me for the first rose ceremony I had ever experienced, except for me at the beginning where there was very minimal eye contact if any at all." Ariel sensed from Zach's words and terminology that something was off. She said, "I knew when he wasn't looking at me", that I was going home. However, Ariel thought that the dates with Zach were "real."

Ariel Frenkel was 'shocked' by the elimination
Even though Ariel sensed something was wrong with Zach before the elimination. She was still shocked when the elimination actually took place. The reason was that she always believed whatever was there between her and Zach it was real, therefore, it never came into her mind that things could turn out this way. But, when Zach eliminated Ariel, she did not break down into tears despite being shocked. The star confessed, "Whenever I have been broken up with, I don't get emotional, I don't cry in front of that person, I cry after." Ariel says, "I feel like a message delivered, I understand that you are now leaving the relationship, I'm not going to fight for you if you have made your decision, I'm not gonna fight against that. I'll give the relationship grace." Therefore, she chose to deliver the final words and speak about how she has been feeling about Zach rather than choosing to cry in front of him.
Ariel believes that crying in front of a person when he/she is breaking up with you makes things difficult. She says, "Sometimes when you cry so much in a break and you do such type of things, it makes it much harder on the other person to deal with the breakup as well." Ariel confesses that she cries a lot more in private.
Ariel Frenkel was 'frustrated' with the way Zach Shallcross handled things
Ariel finds it frustrating when someone takes away the ability of the other person to have a fluid conversation. She does not like when "people come with the idea and you're not having a dialogue." Ariel addressed, "I just don't like the way he handled any of that and I don't like the way he handled the conversations." Ariel also voiced out her frustration, claiming that she had an equal right to information. She further slammed Zach saying, he's "not a man of his words" when he claimed to Jesse Palmer that he was sure of not going with Gabi Elnicki. She felt like releasing the information about Gabi was "wrong." Above all, Ariel believed she owed honesty. "Regardless of me potentially going home and that relationship ending, it doesn't mean you don't show that relationship respect and honesty," claimed Ariel.
Well, it seems Ariel had a lot to complain about Zach as she was not happy with what happened to her.
