Ahem, Let’s Dive Into Some ‘Bachelor’ Season 27 Spoilers, Shall We?

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

In the event that you’ve been living under a literal rock, let me remind you that Zach Shallcross’s season of The Bachelor has ~officially~ begun. The California native made it all the way through Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey’s hectic Bachelorette season last year and wound up being one of Rachel’s final four before his dramatic exit. TL;DR: There were “concerns with the age part” of the duo’s ’ship, and he swiftly exited.

Even so, the whole saga seems to be water under the bridge considering Zach has already been exploring tons of new relationships during his own Bachelor season. Late last year, he even chatted with BachelorNation.com about what he’s looking for: “The biggest thing for me is I want someone who’s really compassionate and kind to everyone that they’re around. I feel that’s kind of rare nowadays. I think a lot of people can be really self-involved. So how you treat people on a day-to-day basis is really important to me. I just want someone who is a really kind, compassionate person.”

He also mused, “Not only do I want to be engaged by the end of this, but I want to find my best friend. That being said, I’m going to do my best to stay true to myself and just hope that it ends the way I want it to. I hope that the person I find that with feels the same way about me that I do about them.”

S’cute! Luckily, we don’t have to do much guesswork re: finding out who Zach actually ends up with, because everyone’s favorite Bachelor sleuth Reality Steve has *all* of the spoilers laid out. Behold: A bunch of spoilers for Zach’s Bachelor season, below. I repeat, SPOILERS lie ahead in 3...2...1....

Victoria Fuller makes an appearance

Fresh off her stint on this season’s Bachelor in Paradise, Victoria apparently makes the switch from contestant to judge as she observes one of the first group dates alongside fellow Bach and BiP alums Courtney Robertson and Tahzjuan Perkins. In-ter-est-ing!!

P.S. Here’s a clip of what’s to come during that episode, which I will most certainly be tuning into. 👀

The theme is international

Well, not really, lol, but we *do* know that Zach travels far and wide this season and lands in the Bahamas, London, Estonia, and Hungary. So how much does it pay to be a producer on the show? Because these travel plans look *chef’s kiss*.

Here are some vids from abroad that our reality TV spoiler king has shared for us all:

The Bahamas

Estonia

Hungary

The How to Win the Bachelor book gets an interesting cameo

Reality Steve prefaced this spoiler by acknowledging that he doesn’t know whether it will be a massive plotline in the season or not, but that while all the contestants are still at the mansion, Gabi Elnicki, who, btw, makes it v far on the show (more on THAT later), is seen reading the How to Win the Bachelor book.

“We know Gabi is at least final 3, so yeah, I’m sure some people who now hear this might change their opinion of Gabi since she’s reading a book about ‘winning’ the show,” he muses about the sitch. Now, I’m not saying that I immediately rushed to order this, but I’m also not not saying that...

We know who makes it to Zach’s hometown dates!!!

BRB, screaming, crying, and throwing up at these REVELATIONS. Although we don’t have all the info on the outings yet, Reality Steve managed to drop the names of the four contestants who end up getting a hometown date with Zach.

First up is Gabi Elnicki, who filmed her date with the Bachelor in Vermont on October 31. Truly wild that while I was busy googling “last-minute Halloween makeup ideas SOS” just a few months back, the California native was on a cute lil excursion and quite literally wrapping up his show. The more you know!

Next is Ariel Frenkel, who shot her date with Zach in New York City on November 2. The duo was apparently spotted together in Washington Square Park and took a trip to Sarge’s Deli & Diner in Murray Hill. Luckily for us, we have actual footage of the outing 👀:

Just two days later on November 4 was Charity Lawson’s hometown excursion—this time, in Columbus, Georgia. Sadly, no pics/vids were taken of these two, so we’ll have to stay tuned for those deets. Apparently, you can’t have it all!

Zach’s final hometown date was on November 6 with Kaity Biggar, who took the tech exec to see Austin, Texas. Apparently, fans sneaking content of the two were discouraged from doing so by the producers, which Reality Steve def had an issue with:

Oh, and we know Zach’s final 3

That would be Gabi Elnicki, Ariel Frenkel, and Kaity Biggar! But because we know you're still not satisfied until you have all the season's spoilers, we'll go ahead and tell you that...

We know who Zach's winner is!

According to Reality Steve, Kaity walks away winning the season and is fully engaged to Zach! Gabi finishes as the runner up, and Ariel gets eliminated after Fantasy Suites. But! Steve does mention that another band of sources said that Gabi was the actual winner—but of course, Steve is sticking to the scoop he's been given, understandably so.

So, yeah, it's still a liiiiittle unclear who winds up being the winner (or the next Bachelorette, for that matter!), but there’s *definitely* bound to be more intel, so be sure to check back here!
