The Bachelor season 27 aired episode 10 on Monday, featuring the Fantasy Suite round.

For those unaware, the Fantasy Suite segment involves the lead star making the choice to sleep with his suitresses. In Zach Shallcross’ season, he initially made a decision to not have s*x with any of the three finalists — Ariel, Gabi, and Kaity.

While he broke his own rule after he slept with Gabi, fans were more upset with him because of the way he handled the situation in front of Kaity. He told the latter about his Fantasy Suite moment with Gabi, which seemed like Zach cleared his conscience at Gabi’s expense.

The account executive, too, felt that Zach should have kept their special moment private and not told the other finalists.


Fans didn’t appreciate the way Zach handled the Fantasy Suite situation

In the latest episode of The Bachelor season 27, Zach Shallcross decided to not sleep with any finalists. Ariel respected his decision and the two shared beautiful moments together without having s*x.

Zach then picked Gabi for his second Fantasy Suite day. When he told her about his decision, she was a bit disappointed. The two later confessed that they slept together and shared romantic moments. However, the guilt took over Zach and then he decided to tell the truth to Kaity and Ariel, which broke Gabi’s heart as she thought the moment was private.

The Bachelor fans slammed Zach for not handling the situation well as he told Kaity the truth just before their Fantasy Suite segment.

The next day, after spending a night with Gabi, Zach met Jesse Palmer and explained the situation. He said:

“We both agreed and wanted to have s*x together. It was very special, it was important and it was both what we both wanted and needed for the relationship. I feel terrible because, obviously, I’ve gone against my word and I have fears with how Kaity would feel, how would Ariel feel. … I have a guilt about the whole week now.”

Zach then informed Gabi that he decided to tell Kaity the truth. In a confessional, Gabi said:

“I do feel like my trust was broken because I do feel like it was between us and now it’s between us and everyone else.”

He told Kaity the entire truth, leaving her heartbroken. She mentioned that she wished Zach had kept the secret to himself and had not told her as it ruined their Fantasy Suite segment.


Who was sent home in The Bachelor season 27 episode 10?

In episode 10 of The Bachelor season 27, Zach Shallcross looked pretty upset with the entire Fantasy Suite situation during the rose ceremony.

He told the ladies:

“This week, I, at times, felt like a failure. I've caused pain, I've made mistakes and I'm so sorry for that.”

Zach then gave roses to Kaity and Gabi, sending Ariel home. Despite receiving a rose, Gabi looked upset because she felt “uncomfortable” with the scenario where Kaity mentioned that she knew about Gabi and Zach.

Gabi stated that she felt like having “a big A” on her chest, especially when she noticed Zach was only making eye contact with Kaity during the rose ceremony.

Meanwhile, The Bachelor 2023 has two finalists — Gabi and Kaity. In the next episode, Zach will propose to his chosen partner.


The Bachelor season 27 finale will air on Monday, March 27, 2023, at 8 pm ET on ABC and the following day on Hulu.
