Greer Blitzer is one of 30 women ready to compete for Zach Shallcross' heart on The Bachelor season 27 after his relationship with Rachel Recchia soured on The Bachelorette season 19, and here's what we know about her. Zach left The Bachelorette in third place after Rachel questioned his age and intentions, but it didn't take long for him to earn another shot at love after he was announced as ABC's next bachelor in September 2022. As a 26-year-old technology executive, the 6'4'' "gentle giant" is not only ready to settle down and start a family but also provide some entertainment in the process.
Although Greer received Zach's coveted first impression rose, she didn't win over viewers of The Bachelor. Hours before The Bachelor season 27 premiered on January 23, screenshots of Greer's old social media posts began to circulate that were condemned as racially insensitive; an instance where Greer defended someone who wore blackface for Halloween in 2016 was particularly criticized. Although Greer apologized for her previous actions less than 24 hours later, Zach's potential suitor has become another name added to the list of controversial Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants. Naturally, Bachelor Nation is now curious to know more about the person who could become Zach's future wife.
Greer Blitzer's Age
Like America's early Bachelor fan favorite Brianna Thorbourne, who was voted to receive a first impression rose from Zach on "After The Final Rose," Greer is 24 years old. Based on a celebratory twenty-first Instagram birthday post made in 2019, Greer was born on April 14, 1998, and is an Aries. Like her zodiac sign, Greer's introduction on The Bachelor season 27 showcased her as someone with a bold and confident personality, especially as Greer admitted that an emotion she never experiences is feeling embarrassed.
Greer Blitzer's Job
According to Greer's LinkedIn, The Bachelor season 27 contestant is a medical device sales representative, although her profile indicates that she left the position in August 2022. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Greer attended the University of Mississippi from 2016 to 2020, like another one of Zach's contestants, Gabi Elnicki. Greer graduated with a degree in business administration (interestingly, also like Gabi) and pledged to the women's fraternity Pi Beta Phi while in college. After graduation, Greer left Texas and moved to New York City, although she has remained a Southern girl at heart.
Greer Blitzer's Instagram
While Greer's past social media activities created quite a stir, fans of The Bachelor can follow Zach's controversial pick on Instagram at @cheerio_greerio. Like dozens of Bachelor Nation stars, Greer's Instagram is full of selfies, photos with friends, and snaps of her life as an NYC transplant. Greer's posts also showcase her unique sense of style and penchant for short, witty captions. Although Mercedes Northup's first night entrance impressed Zach the most, Greer's present of a (still hot) cup of coffee from New York clearly left a mark on Zach. Time will tell if Greer and Zach develop a deeper connection on The Bachelor.
The Bachelor season 27 airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
