Zach Shallcross broke his promise to not engage in sexual activity during his Fantasy Suite week on The Bachelor Season 27 and slept with one of his other two final women, Gabi Elnicki. As a result, Ariel Frenkel was sent home during the season’s final rose ceremony. Before their breakup, Zach explained to Ariel that he believes sharing intimate moments should be saved for the moment of engagement, and Ariel respected his wishes. Ariel teased her reaction to Zach’s Fantasy Suites drama on Instagram, and fans previously speculated that she and Zach got engaged after filming. However, her trip to Austin, Texas, where Zach currently lives, was most likely coincidental. The remaining women and Zach’s final decision will be updated on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose.
Ariel Frenkel’s ‘Bachelor’ Elimination After Zach’s Messy “Sex Week” Drama
Zach Shallcross, the lead of Season 27 of ‘The Bachelor,’ faced an unexpected turn of events during his Fantasy Suite week, also known as “sex week.” Zach arrived in Krabi, Thailand, with his final three women, Kaity Biggar, Gabi Elnicki, and Ariel Frenkel, for their overnight dates, promising there would be “no sex of any kind for Fantasy Suites.” However, he broke his promise and gave into temptation with one of the women, eventually sending Ariel home at the season’s final rose ceremony.
Zach explained to Ariel over dinner that he believes sharing intimate moments should be saved for the moment of engagement, and that he wanted to focus on building connections through conversation. Although Ariel was “a little disappointed,” she respected Zach’s wishes and understood his reasoning.
The couple enjoyed a swim and made out, but the details of what happened between them remained private. Despite the night’s events, Zach had no regrets at the time and thought it was the right decision.
ABC’s Season 27 lead explained, “I came into this week not wanting to involve sex, and with Ariel, it was more difficult than I could have ever imagined. But we both agreed on it, and it was very important to just have conversations and not have sex involved. I think it was the right decision, and I know that in the end it will be all worth it.”
In the end, Zach sent Ariel home, eliminating the 28-year-old marketing executive. The details of what occurred during their overnight date are still unknown, but Ariel’s elimination is most likely a result of Zach breaking his promise and having sex during his Fantasy Suite dates, despite his earlier statement that he would not engage in any sexual activity during this week.

Upon arriving at the rose ceremony, Ariel told producers that she and Zach had their best date yet in Thailand, and that she was “feeling really good” about their relationship. However, Zach ultimately handed out his final two roses to Gabi and Kaity Biggar, ending Ariel’s Bachelor journey.
After their breakup, Zach expressed his admiration for Ariel and the connection they shared. Ariel expressed her sadness, saying that she felt hurt and wondered when she would finally find the person that wants her above anyone else.
