Everything to Know About ‘The Bachelor’ Season 27 — Including Who Already Received Zach Shallcross’ 1st Rose

usmagazine.com:

One rose down, dozens to go. Just minutes after Zach Shallcross was named the newest Bachelor, one of his contestants received a First Impression Rose.“I was telling you there were women from all over America who were coming to see you.

In fact, some of those women have flown here and they’re going to meet you here tonight on this stage,” host Jesse Palmer told season 27’s leading man during the Bachelorette After the Final Rose special on September 20. “One of these women will be receiving a First Impression Rose. … For the first time in the history of this show, we’re going to be awarding America’s First Impression Rose.”Zach then met five of the women who will compete to win his heart on the upcoming season of The Bachelor, including New Jersey resident Brianna, who took a selfie with him in front of the Bachelor Mansion backdrop. “I wanted to do something special for us so we would always remember this,” she told Zach, before they snapped the sweet photo. “It’s a little something for you to remember me by, and I’ll see you at the mansion soon.”Her touching move won over the tech executive — who kept the photo in his suit pocket — and the rest of America, earning Brianna the very first rose of the season.

As a result, she will be safe from elimination when she and the rest of the women pull up at the Bachelor Mansion on the first night.Zach, for his part, revealed that the introductions made him excited to meet more women when filming begins. “Everyone impressed me.

That was incredible,” he said. “Everyone [is] obviously beautiful, but everyone had their own way to make an impression.”One week before the ATFR special, Us Weekly reported that Zach was the frontrunner for the next Bachelor.
