After COVID took him out of the dating game in Episode 5, The bachelorZach Shallcross finally comes out of quarantine and into… A nudist sauna?
The preview for the rest of Season 27 shows Shallcross and contestant Ariel Frenkel sharing some one-on-one time, which is interrupted by an elderly nude couple. Why?! Because their date is of course in a nudist sauna.
Later in the teaser, we see Shallcross and Frenkel making out in front of one of the franchise’s famous fireworks, so it looks like the two will be strengthening their bond considerably in the coming weeks. Will Frenkel get an appointment for the homeland? Does she make it to the final three women of Shallcross? Let’s investigate.
Curious who Ariel Frenkel is The bachelor? And how many more Mondays can we expect to see her on our TV screens? Here’s everything we know about the Season 27 contestant and her Bachelor journey.
Who is Ariel Frenkel? The bachelor? Meet Season 27 contestant Zach Shallcross
Ariel Frenkel is a 28-year-old marketing executive from New York, and although we didn’t get to see an intro video from her on Night 1, she made a memorable entrance by telling Shallcross that even though she missed her flight, her suitcase broke and her dress torn to her, nothing would stop her from going on a date with him. Shallcross’ first impression of Frenkel was: “Wow. She is very cute.” But their feelings for each other have clearly deepened since then.
If you’re hoping to learn more about Frenkel before her date, here’s her official Bachelor bio: “Ariel is thrill-seeking and here at The bachelor, thrill will find. Ariel is adventurous, sophisticated, unapologetically herself and looking for a man who can match her energy! Ariel comes from a large, loving Ukrainian family and is looking to find love like her parents. She is a woman of the world and has traveled everywhere from Europe to Asia to South America and beyond! When she’s not jet-setting, she enjoys exploring her hometown of New York, taking long walks and listening to SZA. Ariel really hopes that Zach is her perfect match!”
And now, just when you’ve been waiting for her three fun facts:
- Ariel loves to read Architectural Digest.
- Ariel does not make tarantulas under any circumstances.
- Dancing to Abba makes Ariel smile.
