List of episodes

The twenty-seventh season of The Bachelor premiered on January 23, 2023.[1] This season features 26-year-old Zach Shallcross, a tech executive from Anaheim Hills, California.[2]

Shallcross finished in third place while exclusively pursuing Rachel Recchia on the nineteenth season of The Bachelorette featuring Recchia and Gabby Windey.

Production

Casting and contestants

On September 14, 2022, it was reported that Shallcross was the frontrunner for the role.[3][4] He was officially announced on September 20, 2022, during the live The Bachelorette season 19 finale. Shallcross then met his first 5 contestants - Bailey, Brianna, Brooklyn, Cat, and Christina.[5]

Notable contestants include Christina Mandrell, niece of country music singer Barbara Mandrell; Miss South Carolina 2018 Davia Bunch; and Miss Florida World 2019 Lekha Ravi.[6][7][8]

Filming and development

The season is delayed by three weeks from its standard first week of January start, to avoid a potential clash with ABC's coverage of Monday Night Football.

Filming began on September 26, 2022, in Los Angeles.[9] On October 22, the show was seen filming in Tallinn, Estonia.[10] This season also includes visits to The Bahamas; London, England; and Budapest, Hungary, with filming concluding in Krabi, Thailand in mid-November.[11]

Contestants

32 potential contestants were revealed on September 23, 2022.[12]

The final cast of 30 women was announced on January 4, 2023.[13]

In week 2, season 23 contestant Tahzjuan Hawkins asked to join the cast, but Shallcross declined.[14]

Controversy

Contestant Greer Blitzer faced controversy shortly after the season premiere after tweets of her defending blackface were uncovered, continuing the trend of contestants with racist social media histories being cast in the franchise.[42] On January 24, 2023, Blitzer issued an apology for her past behavior.[43]
