Is The Bachelor on tomorrow, Monday, January 23?

The Bachelor Season 27 is officially here, Bachelor Nation! Yes, that’s right. After months of waiting (and a much-needed break), we’re heading back into the most dramatic show ever.

This time around, it is Zach Shallcross’ turn to be the lead. We first met Zach as a contestant on Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia’s season of The Bachelorette, but things did not pan out as he would have hoped.

He left the show brokenhearted after a very strange and awkward fight with Rachel. And, well, the rest is history. All that to say, The Bachelor is back, and we’re looking forward to a new season of contestants, ridiculous drama, and, hopefully, a lead we all love and adore.

When does The Bachelor Season 27, Episode 1 premiere?

The Season 27 premiere will take place on ABC on Monday, January 23rd, at 8 PM EST. We can expect a recap of Zach’s time on The Bachelorette, all the limo entrances, and of course, reminding us how the first impression rose was already given out.

It is usually more or less the same with every premiere so Zach’s is no exception. It should be quite the ride (hopefully!). I think we can all use excitement in our lives, and there is no other place I’d want it from than The Bachelor.

I know many of us have reservations about Zach being the lead. I do too, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt. This isn’t an easy gig with the whole world’s eyes on you, so let’s give him a chance, shall we?

See you all tomorrow, Bachelor Nation!

Tune into ABC tomorrow at 8 PM EST to catch The Bachelor Season 27 premiere–you won’t want to miss it.
