Zach Shallcross is a lucky man. But he is not a smart one. At the very least, he is easily influenced. So it was disappointing to see how royally he ruined Fantasy Suites aka Sex Week by not trusting the process on a show that is CONSTANTLY
reminding its participants to trust the process. We all saw what happened with Clayton (
"the worst Bachelor ever" according to some) and it is understandable that Zach wanted to avoid the drama associated with it, but it was not so much what Clayton DID but HOW he did it. Add some guidance from still-married-to-his-finalist former Bachelor
Sean Lowe, and you've got one foolish and (sorta) abstinent lead who ends up doing the wrong thing by thinking he is doing the right one.
It's hard for me to be truly objective here, because had I been in Zach's position I would have handled things very differently, but this wasn't my journey, it was his, so who am I to say what he should have done. But as my co-host
Scotty Boombox put it, you have to respect privacy in addition to being honest. And as I like to say, you should never make promises you can't keep. And as the universe likes to say: if everyone wants to bang, then bang!
This was still the best episode of the season! And while the subject matter creates some serious conversations for me and Scotty, we still manage to have a great time.
This is the recap I referred to in the episode --->
