The Bachelor season 27 contestant Christina Mandrell made quite an entrance when she arrived in a party bus during Zach Shallcross' premiere episode, and now spoilers reveal if Christina and Zach get engaged in the end. Christina, a 27-year-old content creator from Tennessee, is a divorced single mom to her 5-year-old daughter, Blakely. She is the daughter of actress and singer Irlene Mandrell and the niece of country music legend Barbara Mandrell.
Christina was one of five women who had the chance to meet Zach early on The Bachelorette season 19 "After the Final Rose" episode. She memorably brought two mini liquor bottles for her and Zach to drink. During The Bachelor premiere episode, Christina and Zach had some one-on-one time in the party bus, during which they took a compatibility test that Christina had made with hand drawn cards. After laughing about how they disagreed about some of the questions like mountains or beach and dinosaurs or dragons, they shared a kiss that was prompted by one of the cards. The other women then crashed their time together, and the bus erupted into a dance party. Later in the night, Zach gave Christina a rose at the rose ceremony.
Christina Mandrell Receives Zach Shallcross' First Bachelor One-On-One Date
According to Reality Steve, Zach asks Christina on the first one-on-one date of The Bachelor season 27. The date took place in Zach's hometown at the Anaheim Hills Golf Course. They then had dinner at the Orange County Mining Company. During the date, Zach gave Christina a rose.The week after Christina's one-on-one date with Zach, she participated in a group date which included a tackle football game at Moorpark College. Reality Steve reports that Christina is the woman in the previews who was shown sleeping on the mansion stairs because she drank too much. Christina confirmed this in a TikTok video shared via Instagram.
Christina Mandrell Does Not Receive Zach Shallcross' Final Rose
The third Bachelor rose ceremony cocktail party was replaced by a pool party, which occurred earlier in the day. During this event, Christina was the ring leader of a group of women who decided to remind Brianna Thorbourne, the America's First Impression Rose recipient, that her rose was from viewers and not Zach. This escalated at the pool party, and Brianna left the show. Christina was later eliminated at the rose ceremony. Reality Steve said that he believes that her behavior at the party was erratic, and that she was drinking too much.
Christina is already a polarizing figure on The Bachelor season 27. She has been seen as a fun and exciting contestant, but also as someone who is not there for the right reasons. She does not seem to be the right fit for Zach, and he figured that out early in his season. Although Christina and Zach were not a great match, hopefully they will both find the love that they are looking for.
The Bachelor airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
