Zach Shallcross made his debut as the Season 27 Bachelor by locking lips with seven women on his first night, and he totally owned it. “The heart wants what the heart wants” he told ET when asked about all the smooching. Here’s everyone Zach kissed Night One.
First up was Bailey, whose name Zach forgot the first time they met during “After The Final Rose.” To make up for it, he kissed her right after her entrance, telling ET, “Gotta do what you gotta do.”
Kaity and Zach bonded over both living in Austin, Texas. “I was living in Austin and she's living [there] and how did we not meet before this? It was pretty surreal to have her there and very sweet,” he said to ET. “It was a great conversation.”
Zach was nervous the first night, but Greer made him feel “really calm” and took him “out of the weirdness,” as he told ET. Not only did she get a kiss, but she also got the First Impression Rose.
Then there’s Madison. After a “forced” kiss and an awkward Griddy dance, she left before the first rose ceremony. “You can't force anything and that's how I approached that,” Zach said to ET. “I don't want to waste her time and I don't want to waste anyone else's time.”
Charity works as a therapist, which also happens to be similar to Zach’s mom’s job. After they bonded over that, Zach asked Charity for a kiss.
