Zach Shallcross' time in the Fantasy Suite didn't go as planned. On Monday night's episode of , the tech executive traveled to Thailand with his final three women, with the intention that he would not have sex with any of them in the Fantasy Suite.«This is the only thing that feels right and comfortable for me.

It can really muddy the situation,» Zach explained to host Jesse Palmer. "… It's going to be really damn hard, but I want my partner to be sure in us as well and not to worry about that I'm doing that right before an engagement… It's not how I imagine a healthy engagement should start.«With that, Zach set off for his first date of the week, which saw him explore a night market with Ariel.

Sparks were flying throughout the evening, and reached a peak when Ariel told Zach that she's falling in love with him. They were doused during dinner, though, when Zach explained that sex would be „off the table“ overnight.»For me, it's inevitable.

I feel a physical connection to you. That's there. That's no joke," he said. «But I think loving one person at the end of this and sharing that intimate moment should be saved for that moment of engagement and when you have that one person.»Ariel told Zach she understood his decision, but admitted being «a little disappointed» to the cameras.
