Fans Think Zach Is Too Boring To Be The Bachelor

Despite this, Zach's journey kicked off during the "After The Final Rose" episode special of The Bachelorette over two weeks ago. While many viewers feel that Zach will be a dull lead, some have hope for the season as the women that were introduced seem intriguing. However, fans are waiting for the new season to start in January 2023 to give their real thoughts on Zach's The Bachelor season.

Zach's journey on The Bachelor has begun, and with filming to commence shortly, viewers will have a lot to look forward to when the season premieres on Monday, January 23, 2023. The 32 potential women competing for his heart have been released (not confirmed by ABC), but only a select few of those women will make the cut. For now, viewers can tune into Bachelor In Paradise, and its contestants, to get their Bachelor Nation fix. With many Bachelor Nation favorites searching for love on BIP while on the beach in Mexico, drama is bound to happen. Viewers can catch all the action when BIP premieres on September 27.
