The Bachelor Season 27 Episode 2 aired on Monday, featuring Zach Shallcross and the 19 contestants going on dates.
In his first group date, Zach introduced the women to American rapper Lato, who came on the show to bring “bad bit*h” energy out of the girls. Three Bachelor Nation stars, Victoria (Season 24), Tahzjuan (Season 23), and Courtney (Season 16), also joined the group to cheer the women as they walked the ramp.
Fans found the segment cringeworthy as the ladies tried to dance and catwalk to impress Zach, who looked awkward in that situation.
The first group date consisted of eight girls, including Brianna, Brooklyn, Katherine, Mercedes, Bailey, Davya, Genevie, and Cat.
Fans call the group date “awkward” and “weird”
The Bachelor fans were not happy with the second episode’s first segment, involving Lato. It was held to bring out the bad bit*h energy, but it turned out to be an “awkward” session. Neither the rapper performed nor did Zach Shallcross look comfortable at the time.
Fans described the segment as “weird”, “cringe,” and “awkward.” Take a look at their reactions:
After the group date, Zach took the eight ladies on an evening date, where he had a one-on-one conversation with each contestant.
While all the suitresses were drooling over Zach’s personality and behavior, The Bachelor alum Tahzjuan crashed the date. The girls were shocked by the turn of events.
The Bachelor Nation star wanted to add her name to the mix and thus she crashed Zach’s group date to tell him about it. Zach listened to Tahzjuan’s proposal but later refused to give her a chance as he felt it would be unfair to the suitresses.
By the end of the first group date, Zach gave the first rose to Katherine, leaving others feeling jealous and disappointed.
