-Here we gooooooo!!!!! And already I’m faced with a conundrum. Zach is being nicknamed by some of the women, “Zach the snack.” It seems to me that the only guys who get called a snack are ones whose name end with the sound of “ack.” Why do they get that privilege? I’ve heard Dak Prescott called “Dak the snack” by certain people as well. I think that’s verbal discrimination and I’d like it to stop please. Why can’t some dude named Joe be Joe the snack? Or Rufus? Or Craig? Or anyone whose name doesn’t end in the sound of “ack.” We’re 14 seconds into this season and I’m already annoyed. I really hope we get a season that’s not filled with snack references or I might have to bludgeon my own head with a baseball bat. Just sayin’.
-We get the standard intro video footage of Zach and we learn that he was in a band called “Public Disturbance” in high school, which ironically is the nickname I have for Stephen A. Smith. In addition, we learn Zach was also a DJ in college, which makes him a future dating option for Selena Gomez should he ever be single moving forward. When Bachelor Nation complains we barely know anything about Zach and why he was chosen as the Bachelor, I’m not sure those were the two things they had in mind about wanting to know about him. Tell us more about his high school football career at Servite and if he got his ass handed to him by Mater Dei every year. Growing up in Anaheim, how many times did he go to Disneyland. Who’s his favorite character? Did he ever hook up with a past girlfriend in the Haunted Mansion? These are the deep dives I’m interested in.
-The footage of the women filming themselves at home the night of the ATFR reacting to Zach being announced as the Bachelor was pretty comical. Not saying that all of them had read my site, but days before the ATFR happened, it was well known after my initial report that Zach was going to be the Bachelor. And if these women had taken the time to fill out application, have Zoom interviews, be in LA for final casting, I’m sure they were well aware what the word was online who the Bachelor was going to be. So watching him on ATFR night and pretending they didn’t know and squealing at the top of their lungs on the announcement was quite comical if you ask me. They knew. Just doing what producers asked of them. Good little puppets guinea pigs students.
-They then showed intro packages for 8 of the women, 2 of which end up in the final four this season. So if you want to know how that’s stacked up to past seasons, our favorite @BachelorData has the answers for you, which is to say, this is roughly the average of how many of the eventual final 4 end up getting an intro package:
