The Bachelor Season 27 aired Episode 4 on Monday on ABC, featuring Zach Shallcross picking Katherine “Kat” Izzo for his one-on-one date.
They had a romantic time in the Bahamas where they danced on a motorboat and then went snorkeling. The two seemed to be having a great time, which led to a dinner date. Kat shared something deep and personal with Zach and ended up crying.

In the latest episode as well, Kate shed tears while talking about her family and then Zach consoled her.

Since the premiere of The Bachelor Season 27, all the girls who went on a one-on-one date with Zach Shallcross ended up shedding tears. It was not because of their date but because they felt like opening up to Zach and sharing some of their deepest moments or truths of life on camera.

The official synopsis of The Bachelor Season 27 Episode 4 reads:
“This week, Zach begins his international journey to find love with a deep-sea dive and ATV adventure on the romantic beaches of The Bahamas. But has everyone made it to the tropics for the right reasons?”
Zach’s date with Kat was quite romantic. He was very excited as he shared in his confessional:
"I have a very exciting date with Kat today. She’s so fun and she’s great to be around, but it’s almost like a little bit of me asks, ‘Why is she here? You’re really dating me? Like me?’”
In Kat’s confessionAL, she stated that she was out of her comfort zone but felt at ease with Zach Shallcross. She said:
“I’m doing things I’ve never done before, but with so much ease. We’re snorkeling and seeing all these sculptures, which is so much fun and out of my comfort zone, for sure. But holding hands with Zach, it feels like our fire just keeps building, and it doesn’t feel like the flame’s ever gonna go out.”
Kat received a rose on her one-on-one date, which means she will advance to the next round.
Interestingly, Zach's one-on-one date with Brooklyn also ended with the latter in tears after sharing a personal anecdote.
