LOS ANGELES — The "Bachelorette" didn't work out the way contestant and Anaheim Hills resident Zach Shallcross planned, which is why he's giving the process another chance as the next star of ABC's the "Bachelor."
During the Tuesday finale of its historic "Bachelorette" season that featured two leads instead of one, ABC confirmed that Shallcross will be the next (and only) eligible star looking for love when the "Bachelor" returns for its 27th season on Jan. 23, 2023.
Twitter met ABC's announcement of the tech executive with divisive reactions, with some users questioning ABC's "bland" choice and other users supporting Shallcross on his second go with the "Bachelor" franchise. Regardless, Shallcross will usher in a new chapter of the "Bachelor," with previous experience to draw from.
