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.
Other than looking like Hilton’s twin, loyal and longtime fans of Bachelor Nation have had a lot to say about season 27’s lead man. While some people find Shallcross incredibly handsome and seemingly ready for commitment, others were disappointed with ABC’s selection.
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.

In the social media post, Shallcross was pictured holding an infamous rose, and the photo’s caption read, “This has been an unreal 2022. A complete roller coaster from start to finish. This year has taught me more than I could have ever imagined, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Can’t wait for you all to see how this journey to true, forever love unfolds ?” It is safe to say that viewers and fans couldn’t agree more.
