He made some huge mistakes, but he had very good taste in his final four. All of them were lovely and seem genuinely nice.
Agree. It’s the first season in a very long time that the lead and women all displayed normal feelings and didn’t act out for their 15 minutes of fame. Both Ariel and Gabi were articulate in calling out Zach’s mistakes, and he owned his missteps.
Oh and my interest in the next season of the Bachelorette just went up to a 15 out of 10. Well done show, well done.

It's definitely so much more convenient for him with Kaity being in the same town. Has this ever happened on this show before, the lead and his (probable) pick already living in the same town?
Dr. Travis Stork and his F1 (Sarah?) both lived in Nashville. IIRC he had a lot more chemistry with his F2 but went with the safe bet. I don't think this is the case with Zach - he's clearly smitten.

Best hometowns in a very long time. Autumn in Vermont (though I believe maple tapping is in the spring?), NYC pizza and a real Jewish deli, genuine southern hospitality in Georgia, and Texas where Zach hopefully was able to go home for an evening. (And no one’s mentioning Zach’s comment at Sarge’s Deli about the tongue sandwich?) Plus not only are the women beautiful this season, but their families are all attractive too. Well done, show.
I don’t think Zach likes to go outside his comfort zone, and it showed in his dates tonight on the women’s home turfs, most obviously with Ariel. Kaity is on the same wavelength and so appeals to him the most. Not that anything is wrong with that; a relationship should be built on resonance.
Assuming Kaity is F1 (and I have no idea), it will be interesting to see whether Gabi or Ariel leaves first, or if it’s a most-dramatic-ever double elimination. I don’t recall if there have been any proposal previews.
And please make Ariel the Bachelorette and have the show set in NY. I think Jen Schefft had her season in Brooklyn, so it’s time.

FF’ed through most of the episode. Saw a bunch of crying and exits.
Great group of girls for hometowns. Zach did very well.
Kaity - kind, pretty, warm. Closest in wavelength with Zach. I can see them together for real.
Gaby - down to earth, funny, easy rapport with Zach. Another great match for Zach.
Ariel - confident, cool, articulate, witty, worldly. Possibly a touch out of Zach’s league, and he likes it. Her family is going to be amazing.
Charity - most striking of the 4 but a bit guarded. I’ll need to go back to watch the mentalist date to see what she revealed. Not sure she’s even that into Zach.
PS: I’m intrigued by Brooklyn’s thick silver glitter eyeshadow. Can someone with more experience with makeup share how it’s able to stick to her eyelids?

Zach is my favorite Bachelor in a long, long time. Absolutely no tolerance for drama and nonsense and is kind but direct about sending people home. He doesn't waste anyone's time and I love it. He's so much more mature than some of the 30-something leads they've had.
Same. Not quite Andrew Firestone, but Zach’s up there. He’s mature, not afraid of conflict, and seems genuinely comfortable with himself. It’s still early in the season, though, so hopefully all the attention doesn’t change him.
I can’t remember all of Christina’s “offenses” - I know she blurted out that she thought she’d get the date rose and some comment about Brianna’s first night dress having roses but she seemed at worst catty and self-absorbed. Was there something else? Like a lot of you have said already, she’s a far cry from the “villains” from years past.
Overall liking this season so far. The women have normal jobs, and the attention seekers seem to have been weeded out already.

Especially if you compare him to Jacob, whose main accomplishment is that he's "mastered breathing air."
This season has really been dragging for me. Does anyone know how many weeks are left to go?
According to Wikipedia until Nov 22.
Same. The time of year it’s being run is a bit odd to me, too. Crazy antics on end of summer tv is amusing. Not as enjoyable this time of the year. I watch about every 2 or 3 episodes and even then only parts.

Not everyone. I'm Team Rachel. I don't think she was a great lead, but I also believe the bulk of what people are hating her for are mostly manufactured by production.
I've actually been meaning to write up/organize my thoughts on this, but I haven't gotten around to it, and by now probably no one but me is interested :)
I agree with you @phlebas. Rachel wasn’t great, but I can’t imagine what it was like to go straight from what sounded like the disaster that was Clayton (I only saw the last 2 episodes of his season and - just wow) to all of this. And as nice as it was to have Gabby with her on the journey - and their genuine friendship and mutual support was one of the highlights of this season - it was also probably hard not to compare herself constantly.
I suspect what we saw was an exaggerated version of herself due to these stressors.

Can anyone confirm or deny if it is Lace’s birthday? What’s up with those heavy fake eyelashes? She’s a hot mess, and well, not even really that hot.
I feel like this year’s eyelashes are actually toned down from what they were, and yeah, still a hot mess.
(Can I just say your avatar makes me smile every time.)
Having skipped everything between Pilot Pete and Gabby/Rachel, I barely know anyone. There are 2 guys with beards but I can’t tell them apart. Who are the 2 women fighting? No cheesy intro theme song?
Dang, Jesse still looks so … polished compared to the guys.

How funny would it be if someone from an earlier episode showed up at one of these ladies’ F3 dates offering a room key, like Trish from Jesse’s season? Just me? Even the contestant with the best personality on this season (Zach) can’t keep me interested.

I left the room for a minute and now I'm confused.
Did they use the fantasy suite or not?
And why is she upset about Jason when she has ERICH?I did the same thing and had to rewind twice, watching that Samsung commercial with Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now twice because it’s so catchy, to see that they didn’t use the fantasy suite. And just now I googled that commercial while Gabby was talking with Jason because a freaking phone ad was more interesting than a conversation with Jason. Gabby, pull yourself together! It’s not that he didn’t love you. He just had a mission to uphold his blandest reality show contestant title.

Ok, again, how are Gabby and Rachel not swooning over Jesse? Empathetic, good listener, easy on the eyes. C’mon ladies!
Maybe he’s a great guy in real life but Jason’s edit has him as the blandest F3 I can remember. I can’t recall a single way he’s stood out all season. Then again, the man may be a genius - he may have made it through the show with his reputation intact.
Anyone else think Rachel and Aven have similar facial structures - close set eyes, sloping nose, same smiles? I can’t unsee it.

Jesse really rocking this gig!
He really is. He’s the sock-wearing middle-aged guy in the room but still fun.
Tyler is a sweetie. Jared vibes. Hope he finds his Ashley I, whom, despite all the drama, I always liked.
It really is nice how supportive Gabby and Rachel are of each other. (Small voice) I like these two.
I don’t get Meatball.
BIP will be odd to watch in the fall.

I really like Zach.
I hope I'm not imagining it but I think he is a cut above the usual guys that we've seen on the show in recent years. He's sweet and articulate and cute. And if Rachel does not choose him I hope to see him as the next bachelor....along with his uncle Pat!You’re not imagining it - or else I am too. Zach actually has a personality. (Wasn’t he the one who suggested Rachel let out a primal screen to destress?) He looks like he’d be a catch in real life, too. For that reason I don’t want to see him as The Bachelor and get drawn into that vortex.
There is zero chance Johnny is looking for a wife. Jason looks about as excited to be on the show as he’d be waiting for his order at Panera.
For the 3rd or 4th episode now I’m pretty much only looking forward to the Jesse spots. Slim pickings today.

I really liked Gabby’s white blouse during that weird group date. The weird group date not so much.
Is it odd that I only pay attention when Jesse shows up?
Zach seems way too normal and sincere to be on this show. Maybe Spencer too.
Why can’t rose ceremonies be in a climate controlled location? Everyone looks miserable.
I should look this up, but when is BIP starting? It feels late in the summer at this point.

I liked Jessies talk with Rachel. It was basically... Well Rachel.. it is what it is and is unpredictable who is going to be the one who is the one for you. Make the best of all that you do have going on good here and who knows.. you might end up happy after all. We don’t know what anyone is going to say, do or feel, so what exactly do you think we can do about it?
Jesse has been a really pleasant surprise as a host. He shows empathy, he relates with the leads’ experiences, and he looks way better than any of the guys (and his younger self when he was the Bachelor.)

There just seems like the last few bachelors had none of that. And it’s starting to show the way the contestants never seemed all that taken with him. Just blah.
Agree. I think we're seeing the result of recycling contestants who signed up mostly for fame. If they went back to finding new Bachelors with their own achievements like in the early seasons, they might have better connections. My cynical side wonders if they (we) can ever go back to that more organic world, though, now that we've been attuned to the over-the-top drama.
That said, I loved that at least 2 of the final 3 women didn't succumb to letting the lead get away with poor behavior and remained supportive of each other. Who knows, maybe backbone and loyalty will attract a stronger group of men next season too.

I think this is an unpopular opinion, but I like Jesse as the host. He's low key but feels professional and more like the classic type of host. I like Tayshia but can't stand Kaitlyn and the way they hid and giggled and gossiped about all the arrivals on night one always bugged me. With two leads, I feel like the show will need Jesse as more of a professional presence or it could have turned into feeling like a slumber party.
Anyway, haven't seen much positive talk about him so just wanted to give him a little shout out, I thought he did a decent job tonight.
While I was meh about him on his season (remember when a plane ticket or someone offering her room key were shocking?) Jesse Palmer is the host I never knew I enjoyed watching. Slightly older, mature, calm, and much better looking than when he was the lead. I was surprised to be so low key happy to hear that he was coming back.

What. the. heck. Haven't watched a season since Peter Pilot and tuned into just the last 20 minutes.
Did this guy really try to blame Susie (?) for not explicitly calling out that sleeping with other women is a deal breaker?
Who is this Bachelor? Can someone provide a 30 second overview of how we got here???
(small voice) Kind of like Jesse Palmer as host/wingman in the little bit I saw.

Madison and Hannah Ann both looked gorgeous tonight. Madison's makeup was spot on, and HA's longer hair (and sass) made her look much older than she did during the season.
This really was the most amazing finale ever. Did they intend to run 4 minutes over? I could have watched another hour of it. Was Kelley some kind of friend spy?
IIRC Clare also had an extreme mom who spoke Spanish. Oh I would so love it if Barb turned out to be Clare's aunt.
Peter's dad looks like pretty much like every male commercial airline pilot. I bet he can't wait to get back to work.
Barb knows the supposed goal of the show is for Peter to find love, right?

It'd be funny if she was playing us all and she broke up with him to ensure her 2nd place finish and thus her own presumptive Bachlorette season...
That season would be so amazing, if only to have Charles Barkley give commentary.

S27.E11: Finale and After the Final Rose
in The Bachelor
This makes a lot of sense. In the Bachelorette, there was a scene when Zach tried to cheer up Rachel by suggesting she let out a primal scream. At the time, it was just sweet and empathetic, but it totally also fits the narrative of a people pleaser.
