Tonight is a big episode! We’re in Thailand and we watch Zach Shallcross navigate the beautiful landscape as he talks about how he feels about the remaining women in tonight’s ABC’s The Bachelor. It’s Fantasy Suites week and we all know what tends to be involved during this portion of the show.
We can’t wait to see which relationship with Kaity, Ariel and Gabi will advance. Jesse Palmer and Zach talk about what is taking place over the next few days. He lets Jesse know that there will be no sex in the Fantasy Suites! We’ll have to see how he navigates that.
His first date is with Ariel who is excited to take things to the next level! They take a tour through the town as they head to where their date will be as what they’re doing only happens at night.
Gabi will be up next as she’s waiting for her date to begin. She sees Ariel and Zach on their way to the next portion of their date.
At dinner, Ariel talks about where she has a moment when she retreats when she really likes someone. She lets him know that she is falling in love with him and had even told her mom this by accident. Zach says he feels that and he takes it seriously. He lets her know that he can see himself with her and that he will only say that he loves someone one when it’s just the one person. He gives her the Fantasy Suite card and tells her that he came to the decision that he will not have sex this week. He knows that he could enjoy that with her, but he wants to save it for the person that he is engaged to. She lets him know that respects his choice, but she is not one to make a plan as whenever you do, it changes. They head to the suite where they have their personal tool and there are heavy vibes between the two of them.
Gabi and Zach have their date on a private island. It seemed like it was a great date, but Gabi got upset as she got in her own head. Zach talked with her through it and they had a great rest of the day. They talk at dinner and connect more and she receives the Fantasy Suite card. Zach shares his rule that he’s doing for the week. She takes it well and is happy that he will not be “test driving” anything. They have a great night and wake up cuddling. Gabi feels secure in where they are and she knows that she is falling in love with him.
Zach catches up with Jesse and tells him that being with Gabi was great. He had sex with Gabi! He lets him know that he feels that all the women need to know about this so that there are no secrets. He feels that even though he didn’t do what he said he would, he knows that what he did with Gabi was special.
Kaity preps for her date and she is so excited. Zach goes over to Gabi’s house and although she is happy to see him, she wonders why she wasn’t on his date yet. He lets her know that he wants to be honest with the women as he doesn’t want secrets. He also told her that he’s falling in love with her.
Zach goes on the date with Kaity and they have a fun time, but he knows he wants to tell her. He lets her know about his no sex except for Gabi and Kaity is absorbing hearing everything. You definitely feel for her as they’re in the middle of a jungle on a log and she can’t even get up to have a moment to herself. They leave the area and we see Kaity talking with production as she asks how she is supposed to continue the date knowing everything that she knows now. Kaity ends up going on the next portion of the date. We’re also thinking about her Hometown where she had him putting up things in her apartment. Walking back into her home, she’ll be thinking about Zach’s presence when he was there. Somehow, Kaity has gotten on board and she feels like she got clarity.
The women assemble for the final rose ceremony. Each woman is coming to the table in their own headspace - Gabi feels that he trust is broken, Kaity wonders if their relationship is strong enough and Ariel is also figuring out what their relationship is. He talks with Jesse to get prepared for his next round of decisions. The first rose goes to Kaity and the last one goes to Gabi.
Zach sits with Ariel and lets her know it was a hard decision. Ariel is such a class act and leaves Zach. Kaity lets her know that she is aware that he slept with Gabi. Gabi feelsthat she has a letterA on her chest and still feels that she lost her trust in him.
