Zach Shallcross recently sat down with former Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe and shared his reactions to Nick Viall’s show commentary.
Although she was initially critical of Zach’s choice as the Bachelor, Kaitlyn seems to have changed her opinion and invited Zach and his new fiancée Kaity Biggar to join her on her Off the Vine podcast. Us Weekly has the details.
“Thank you for reaching out,” Zach said on the March 30, 2023 episode. “It means a lot you know, when you’re someone very prominent [in the franchise]. There’s so many negative comments.”
“Oh, my God,” Kaitlyn agreed, “Nick was so hard on you.”
Zach claimed the Season 21 Bachelor had told him prior to filming, “‘Hey, man, I got your back, like I’ll support you.'” But soon afterward, the tech exec started seeing critical comments from Nick in the press.
Zach admitted he was hurt. “I’ve never met him. And I [thought], ‘It’s kind of an a-hole move.’ Maybe he didn’t mean to — maybe something he said got taken out of context . . . but from what I could see, it looked a little harsh.” No, I’m pretty sure he meant it, Zach.
“It was harsh,” Kaitlyn concurred. “And I was like, ‘Oh, that’s not very nice.’ Because once you’re in, like, you guys are family now.” But a pretty dysfunctional family, am I right?
As we all know, Bachelor Nation first met Nick when he competed on Seasons 10 and 11 of The Bachelorette. He finished as the runner-up for both Andi Dorfman and Kaitlyn, and reportedly slept with both of them. Next, he rehabilitated his “bad boy” image by being a good listener in Season 3 of Bachelor in Paradise. Nick so successfully won America’s hearts, he got the job as the Season 21 Bachelor.
These days the University of Wisconsin grad recaps all things Bachelor Nation on his Viall Files podcast, where he posted some not-so-flattering comments about Zach during his journey.
“That’s 2 weeks in [a] row now Zach was a total dick to one of the [women],” Nick tweeted on February 27, 2023, when the Bachelor sent Jess Girod home for obsessing over the one-on-one dates. “It’s literally all about the one on one,” Nick continued. “Zach knows that. He made Jess feel like she messed up for expressing a valid concern. #thebachelor.”
The following week, Nick was back at it, tweeting his reactions to Zach’s interactions with the women. “Every time Zach hears any of the woman express an insecurity, instead of showing an ounce of empathy, his face just drowns in disappointment . Zach is now fully in ‘I’m the Bachelor, and it’s your job to prove to me you’re worthy’ mode.”
After surviving his journey on The Bachelor and coming out successfully betrothed to Kaity, Zach expressed his “empathy for all [the] previous leads.” See, Nick? Zach has empathy. He says so.
“There hasn’t been one season where everyone has made the right decision or done everything the right way,” the Cal Polytechnic grad added. “There’s literally no right way. And people are very critical.” What about Sean Lowe, Zach? He didn’t tell multiple women he was in love with them, he didn’t sleep with anyone and he married the woman he chose at the end. Seems like he was pretty close to perfect, don’t you think, Zach?
Admitting that he sees Rachel Recchia in a different light now that he’s been in her shoes, Zach continued, “Sometimes you just make the decision that sounds right at the moment, and then you . . . look back and [realize] ‘I should have done things different.’”
Zach then offered up possibly the best (worst?) example of a Bachelor who totally f ***ed things up, Clayton Echard. Also known as the man whose own father said he’d “screwed the pooch.”
“Clayton, for example, you know, he’s someone that reached out to support me and encouraged me during the negativity,” Zach explained. “He made a mistake in a very tough boiling point moment, and you can’t completely fault someone or make huge character claims about a single decision. So I have the utmost respect for everyone that have been put in those positions, obviously, if there’s good intent.”
“Unless you’re an a-hole,” he added. “I have a couple on my mind.”
Quick to agree, Kaitlyn laughed, “There’s a few of those! . . . [I know a couple of those] too.”

Every city in the Real Housewives franchise has its own quirks and has generated its fair share of OMG moments. But I would venture a guess and say that since Real Housewives of Atlanta debuted in 2008, few have created as many legendary scenes. If you haven’t watched from the beginning, I humbly request you clear an entire weekend to binge the entire thing. RHOA offers the most quotable, sarcastic, and hilarious material. It also has some pretty dramatic disputes. If you’re lucky enough, sometimes all of this goes down in one scene before a commercial break.
All of the Real Housewives are wonderful, but few compare to our beloved RHOA. Let’s take a look back at how this particular show became a huge fan favorite and Bravo’s ace in the hole. Here are some iconic and memorable moments from our Atlanta ladies.
This one stung because fans were invested in Kandi Burruss’ friendship with Phaedra Parks. We last saw Phae Phae on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, but she hasn’t been on RHOA since she left in Season 9. Phaedra went full traitor and was complicit in a rumor that alleged Kandi wanted to “rape” Porsha Williams in her “sex dungeon.”
To say Kandi was blown away by Phaedra’s betrayal would be a gross understatement. She was incensed by the accusations because she believed they could harm both her reputation and her personal brand. Porsha revealed who was leading the gossip pack during an incredibly heated reunion. “THE LIES, THE LIES, THE LIES” is burned in our memory banks forever. Phaedra never provided a motive for flapping her lips and crawled away into the night. Kandi said if Phaedra ever returned to RHOA, she would be out. Bravo must feel Phaedra paid her dues because she appeared on RHUGT and just nabbed a slot on Married To Medicine.
On RHOA, fights can be both vitriolic and humorous. It might sound like a fun combo in theory, but it’s a problem. When Marlo Hampton and Shereé got into a fight on a Season 4 trip to South Africa, it became quite evident. Shereé had a dinner party and left Marlo’s name off the list. It caused a huge commotion that resulted in some terrific verbal and nonverbal attacks. Although the actual battle of words took about 5 minutes to happen, its impact lasted for years.
Marlo criticized Shereé for spending time with “drug dealers” and having money issues. Shereé basically called Marlo a hooker and mocked her for “messing with an 80-year-old man.” Hands were tossed and hair was flicked. Marlo wound up saying some pretty offensive words and hopefully learned a lesson that day. Due to their friendship and apparent fondness for self-deprecation, Shereé and Marlo mimicked the famous altercation during Season 14.

I’m pretty sure I could just write BOLO and everyone reading could come up with their own segment to this article. Some might even include carefully hand-drawn pictures. RHOA has given us many men over the years. Sure we love Miss Lawrence. Dwight Eubanks and his dancing with Phaedra at her baby shower will live on forever. And Gregg Leakes was obviously the king over a very tumultuous group of people. Then there was BOLO. Michael Bolo Bolwaire was not a “friend” of the cast. Nor was he a relative. BOLO is a dancer, of sorts, and he has… special talents.
People weren’t talking about BOLO’s interesting Chanel interpretation wardrobe pieces. They were mostly talking about his massive personal situation and what he might have done with it during a naughty soireé. For a reality television show with multiple cameras, something happened only certain people know about. Drew Sidora, Porsha, Tanya Sam, LaToya Ali, and Shamea Morton were dancing the night away and Kenya Moore twirled herself to bed. The rumor mill was buzzing and we never heard from Tanya again.
I know this is a heavy part of RHOA canon, but I still can’t believe it happened. I literally watched it with my own eyeballs and heard it with my own ears and still can’t comprehend it wasn’t staged. Along with natural shade and the ability to be the moment, Porsha also has a ditzy side that we love. I mean, this is literally the same person who once declared there were 265 days in a year. Look, we can either laugh or blame the school systems. But few Porsha moments stick out like the Underground Railroad. As the granddaughter of civil rights pioneer Hosea Williams, who collaborated with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., her snafu wasn’t very cute.
When the cast visited Savannah, Georgia’s First Black Baptist Church the ladies learned it was a stop on the underground railroad. Porsha proceeded to open her mouth and say, “There has to be an opening for the railroad at some point.” Our sweet summer child thought there was a subterranean choo-choo train running people back and forth. Porsha added,” ‘Cause somebody’s driving the train. It’s not electric like what we have now.”
Porsha’s co-stars were… astounded. The tour guide was… laughing in disbelief. When it was explained to Porsha there was no real train down there she responded, “Just a railroad?” Some people weren’t able to reconcile Porsha’s mistake and laugh it off like a joke. In a confessional interview, Kenya said, ”It’s almost hurtful to me to watch her be so dumb.” Thankfully Porsha has redeemed herself in recent years.
This is easily one of my most-watched moments on RHOA. I will go ahead and confess most of the moments I consider most watchable involve Shereé. I just can’t quit someone who granted the world a blessing with, “Who’s gonna check me, Boo?” But Shereé gave us that and so much more. The wigs worn by Kim Zolciak have drawn a lot of attention, especially in her first few seasons. NeNe even used to call Kim “wig” as an insult. At one point her dismissive “bye wig” became what I regularly say to my cat when he huffs out of a room. As a result, one of the most famous RHOA moments is when Kim’s wig is yanked in a Season 2 episode.
Kim met NeNe and SheBySheBroke at a restaurant. They wanted to confront Kim about some rumors she was allegedly spreading about them. Everything started out just dandy and Kim even brought a bike helmet as comic relief. She probably should have put that thing on her head after all because the dinner went from just dandy to “Oh snap.” Voices rose and other people at the eatery were staring at Shereé and Kim verbally going to town. Kim told Shereé to “go f**k yourself” and made a run for the door. NeNe’s obvious embarrassment made it even funnier as she ran after them when they took to the sidewalk. The yelling on the sidewalk jumped to Shereé pulling on Kim’s Party City wig. In her interview, Shereé denied trying to yank the hair off Kim’s head. She only wanted to shift it, you guys! Shereé later said she just wanted Kim’s attention after she walked away from her. That’s certainly one way to get it.

Welcome back to another round of What I’m Watching This Week. Or as I like to call it, a guide to staying horizontal and disassociated from your own personal reality. If you can tear yourself away from TikTok long enough, you might just enjoy what Bravo, Netflix, and Peacock are giving us lately.
Yowza this show never misses. So far, eight episodes of Love is Blind Season 4 have been released. Things are taking place in Seattle, with couples coming from all over the Pacific Northwest. As a local to the area, I can confirm those dark wooden apartments are actually the best (Nick Lachey) money can buy around here. I can also confirm these nerds are a high-end display of what this city’s dating scene actually has to offer. At least watch this series for the scenery and Zack Goytowski’s singing.
Watch on Netflix now. New episodes released Friday.
If you’re already into Love is Blind, then you’re going to love Married at First Sight. Season 16 is airing on Lifetime right now. But you could also binge all of Seasons 10, 11, and 12 on Netflix now. Personally, I haven’t been keeping up with this one, but I’ll be catching up this week. I am gripped by the blind marriage/love shows right now. Except, instead of a boy band frontman leading this series, there are actual doctors and psychological experts guiding the contestants of MAFS through the process.
Watch on Lifetime Wednesday at 8 ET. Or stream seasons 10, 11, or 12 on Netflix Now.
Okay onto the real blind romance of the year. Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard. What in the babe has gotten into these two? Are you buying this love story? Am I a total monster for thinking it’s completely fake, even if the two lovers themselves don’t notice yet? Where is this new “fairy tale” romance going to leave Danielle Olivera and Kyle Cooke at the end of the day? Will Rad-House even have a reason to come back next year?
Watch on Bravo Monday at 8 PM ET.
Obviously, I’m watching Vanderpump Rules this week. The crew is finally in Mexico for Scheana Shay’s wedding to Brock Davies. All eyes will be on Raquel Leviss, though. Much to Katie Maloney and Lala Kent’s chagrin. Last week Ariana Madix said she was excited to spend some quality time at the resort with the man she once swiped from Kristen Doute. Don’t miss this one! It’s sure to be a roaring dumpster fire.
Watch on Bravo Wednesday at 9 PM ET
Thank ya baby Jesus for this franchise. I cannot get enough of watching Heather Gay be thrown under the bus for her loyalty to Jen Shah by the Housewives guild. I’m also loving the Candiace Dillard Bassett vs. Gizelle Bryant and Porsha Williams arc. And please don’t forget Marysol Patton and her sudden yet deeply concerning stomach ulcer. We have a lot to check up on.
Stream on Peacock now. New episodes released Thursday.
