It’s Week 2 in the Forever Love journey of Zach Shallcross on The Bachelor, and that can only mean one thing: the first set of dates where we still have no idea who anyone is because 20 women is too many women to tell apart!
The first grouping of women — Davia, Mercedes, Genevie, Cat, Brooklyn, Katherine, Kylee, Brianna and Bailey — go to a club where they meet up with superstar singer Latto of “Big Energy” fame. Former Bachelor villains Victoria, Tahzjuan and Courtney join the fun, because why not. It’s a relative dud of a date as the women compete in a “Bad [expletive]” competition. There didn’t seem to be a clear winner, and Zach said a grand total of about four words.
Tahzjuan brought the most drama of the evening as she interrupted the second part of the first group date to ask Zach if she could join the season, and also overwhelmingly insult the entire group. He ultimately said no, but Tahzjuan’s efficiency rate was incredible with enemies made when compared to time on screen.
Christina Mandrell got the validation of the one-on-one date and used it to meet his family and tell him she’s a mother.
The rest of the ladies went on the second group date, which was literally just Zach making out with each of them in succession. Honestly, that was really it.
Some Brianna-Christina drama was really the only thing happening at the Rose Ceremony, which could be an indicator of future issues.
Let’s get into the contenders, pretenders, those that have work to do and our Top-5.
