Shallcross brings an endearing, almost wholesome approachability to the series that makes you want to see how things turn out for him and his group.

Zach is as bland and generic as most of the men who have filled the Bachelor shoes before him. ... There are some normal entrances, but then we suffer through the usual gimmicks. ... The night is a blur of awkward get-to-know-you gimmicks and first kisses.

Cat Carter could be fun for us. From the jump, she brought a sort of chaotic energy that might actually wake Zach up a little. ... Almost as soon as he [Zach] started talking, I felt my eyelids get heavy. He simply isn’t charismatic enough to command a room on his own. ... Hopefully, the producers know who they’ve chosen in Zach and will do what’s right to give the season a prayer of being worth watching: Send Zach to the back. Let the women do the talking.
