This Reddit thread captures some of the fans’ opinions on the matter. While unpacking the Shallcross’ season’s promo video, one person wrote, “This guy looks like Perez.” While others in the Reddit conversation agreed, it wasn’t the only time this has been pointed out.
In a Facebook story promoting a Twitter Space between Shallcross and Bachelor Nation host Jesse Palmer, another fan of the show commented, “I for real thought this was Perez Hilton for a quick second.” Though they might not be exact doppelgangers, there is no denying that Hilton and Shallcross share some aesthetic similarities.

One Reddit user defending Shallcross wrote, “I understand he’s not people’s first pick, but I feel like people are a little too harsh towards him about being ‘another boring white’ lead … People did the same thing towards Clayton.” The comment brought up some good points, but some people don’t even seem to care who ABC puts in the lead spot.
Another bold but on-point Reddit user stated, “Let’s be real, who else no longer watches for the lead because we all know true love in the franchise is dead for the main seasons? I’m watching because he’s gonna be eaten alive by both the producers and the players. Zach is like a golden retriever.” Golden Retriever energy or not, one thing is for sure, and that is that many are looking forward to tuning into this season of The Bachelor.
