I aint gonna lie... this is one of the realest conversations I've seen on the bachelorette. Damn

She didn’t ever judge him, even for a second. Tayshia’s a real one.

I like how he said "She did nothing wrong". Shows accountability and responsibility. Unlike Garrett on Becca's Season. Blamed the ex wife.

It’s sad to me how so many people probably judged Zach for being an addict but he became an addict because of pain meds from a life altering surgery. Poor guy. I have so much empathy and love for him. I really hope he treats tayshia well.

I’m glad that she just listened, and she was genuinely interested

I love his story. He is authentic and keeping it real. Yes, he is sometimes socially awkward but I think it's a strength and highlights his authenticity.

The way he took full responsibility👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 and the fact that his sister signed him up for the show. He’s definitely not a clout chaser and is the real deal. Tayshia got a good one. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

What I appreciate about this season is how Tayisha really reads into the different love languages that everyone needs on the show (words of affirmation, etc.) and that listening allows for men to be more vulnerable. Even if it was forced by the producers, Tayisha herself is a good listener. Hopefully this can redefine masculinity more!

She only seemed more appreciative of him the more he opened up :o what an empathetic queen. The fact that she accepted him so unhesitatingly speaks volumes. Seriously, how many people would so swiftly reply “no, it’s not!”

I'm loving the real conversations we're seeing on this season.

I love how honest he is and tells the truth without trying to hide anything or impress her. He looks like Matthew McConaughey and sounds just like him. really like how mature he sounds and he’s so pure when he speaks I like him the best from all the other man

Seems like there's so much pressure on this show to open up about your worst experiences on the first date itself

They vibe so well together finishing each other sentences lol idk I have a feeling she’s gonna pick him

I love how we have real men on this season who have real life relatable stories that we can relate to. Not just perfect men

The best replacement bachelorette EVER

Opening up about your dark past is not an easy thing to do, I applaud Zac really. I know if it were up to him, he probably would have done it differently but seeing how much little time they given on the show, he had no choice but to comply. I feel how slowly he's opening up to T and vice versa, I love it. I love the pair, I really hope this is not for show that they'll develop real feelings for each other and possibly walk down the aisle some day. Don't know of it's because Zac reminds me so much of my ex but I really do like him. #Team TZ all the way#

Tayshia just comes into every conversation with no judgement toward the other person and it is so refreshing.

He is one of my favorite contestants. For some reason I feel their is deep chemistry and tension there. I can feel it through the screen. Although, Zac can be a little cringey with how awkward he gets. He is definitely a mature man that has experienced a lot and is in a stable place in his life. I think he is a front runner for sure and they do look good together. I just think this season feels rushed, and there is no way she can accept a proposal from any of these men.

i kept gasping after every word he uttered, god damn

I feel bad I misjudged him. I didn't know much about him before and got an off vibe from him. But seeing this episode really made me like him more. I think its important to show that these contestants are all normal people like us and they go through things. It helps me relate more to them. I'm glad that he told his story, it shows how much personal growth he's had and he's come a long way. I'm so tired of seeing cookie cutter perfect contestants that don't have any backstory to them. This season is doing a good job digging deeper into the contestants (like sharing Ivan's story as well)

I think I fell in love with Zac C today...

I knew he had a drug past when I saw that he was an “addiction specialist.”

the joy I am getting from watching the connection between Zac and Tayshia unfold reminds me of why I began to watch this show in the first place. After Peter's dumpster fire of a season, Hannah B's disaster choices, and the self-servicing fraudulent grossness that is Colton and his season, I am not only so happy to tune into see actual adults have real conversations week to week, but I am THRILLED to be getting what looks like another love story. Their chemistry is really special and reminds me of Bryan and Rachel, Trista and Ryan, Sean and Catherine...this combination of being both really comfortable and giggly/nervous around each other while also having super strong physical chemistry....that's the magic combo and I am really looking forward to watching their love story play out!

At first, I notcied Ben as most attractive, but suddenly I can see the beauty in Zach, Brendon and Riley....the angles are hitting different.

I was Team Zac C since the start of this season but i didn't like him with Clare luckily we all knew she would end up with Dale so i knew my guy Zac C could find someone much better and that better is Tayshia 🤗 -🌸

Thanks for sharing...i was moved to tears because I work in that environment and it's always a joy to see people renewed. Thank God for his timely intervention and the family

I’m glad he opened up there so much clarity! I would rather have someone show me who they are but without any pressure! He has a powerful story and only strong people can say that. Thank you Zak! I hope Taynisha finds the right guy who’s she’s looking for! 🙏🏼

Man after seeing the spoilers from Reality Steve and watching this whole season as to why she made connections with certain people. Dang it’s getting deep!

This is the moment where I became team Zac! It’s hard to open up ab something like this especially to somebody you’re trying to win over. And Tayshia responded really well

We all make mistakes but do we live and learn to brave them. I have much respect for Zac for being honest about his past.

TEAM #ZAYSHIA FOREVER! I love these two, I love the honesty, courage & humility shown, I love the acceptance more than anything.

I gave up on the bachelorette for a couple seasons, but heard how real and genuine the dialogue was on this season, so can’t wait to watch! These should be real people with genuine intention or why watch...who doesn’t hope for a real love story.

Zac and Tayshia are both so mature, most honest couple in this show ever. I'm happy for them.

im sobbing that was such a genuine raw moment

It takes a good man to do this! So brave! Thanks!

Lots and lots and lots of stars in their eyes!!

This is the realest season of the Bachelorette ever.

He was so amazingly humble in this moment that I can’t believe men like this actually exist. I am over here wishing for a love like this! I love them 😍

I love them together. I hope the last forever. She had me in tears in the end. Best Bachelorette show I've seen in years

I like that he open up about his pass in order for someone to be apart of your future they have to be part of your pass.that's my motto he's a good guy and mature good luck you two.

Finally some real conversation

I think a lot of people just can't see the power of their connection. it is unexplainable, pure chemistry. they are just DRAWN to each other as Tayshia said herself, are super attracted to each other, and emotionally very in-sync. I would be shocked if Zac doesn't end up with her at the end. People are so used to bachelor dates and how fake everyone is, how they say what they think the lead wants to hear...there are so many words said that often don't mean anything. Zac and Tayshia literally communicate and convey so much with a single look...i'm swooning and rooting for these two!!!

For some reason l like him because he is real he being through a lot but at the end of the day he is sober now! Mature and wise!

Not gonna lie, I do hope that Tayshia picks Zac in the end.

She laughs differently with ivan like they are true best friends

Hes so honest

This is why I love and respect this two people in my life my clean Cleary Mr Zac I will never stop praying for him his Queen family 🔥❣️♥️🥰😍😘😇🇯🇲❤️‍🔥👏🏾👏🏾

Raw real honesty and accountability

I love how honest and real he is! #TeamZach

Serious conversation immediately when they say ACTION !!!

His so honest very nice guy

Nd they are still Inlove ❤️ …,just love them

I love Zach

LOVE THEM TOGETHER FOREVER ❤️❤️🌹🌹

Lmao did anyone catch that weird giggle she let out after he said his own name

Best Bachelorette EVER ❤️

Well, interestingly enough, he's like a mixture of Shawn Booth and nick Viall.

He is saying brain tumor and she is smiling hahahaha

WHEN ZACHRY TELLING TAYSHA ABOUT HIS JOURENEY WITH BEING IN A BAD WAY,, TAYSHA WAS LIKE FINISHING ZACKS SENTENCES, IT WAS WORKING FOR THEM ALREADY EVEN IF THEY DI NOT KNOW IT, BUT IM PRETTY SURE THEY NEW ALREADY THAT THEY WERE IN LOVE

I wasn’t expected that this 2 end up together but maybe I’m wrong 😑 wish you best of luck

She definitely pulls away from him after this I feel (and let’s someone else become the front runner). I get it, it’s a risky choice but i feel like he’s worth it.

I do feel like she’s into him but I really hope she chooses IVAN!!!

The first Black Male Bachelor(Matt James) will start on Nonday Jan 4th ,ABC at 8pm Est. Turn in.

Is this the 'Zack Clark' that makes Horror Movie Shorts?

He is coming clean' but I have a feeling there are more cats in the bag ready to come out 🤣😄

Gents, this right here is a REAL man

He looks like chase utley

I’m not sure about Zac honestly. If Tayshia choose him okay but nah if it was me I don’t think I would choose him still. What we need to understand is when we open up we shouldn’t always expect someone to understand and feel our pain neither should we feel like we expected to sympathize with someone’s past or pain. To your eyes can be pain but to someone else it can just show what kind of mindset , willpower and personality you have towards life. We literally dive in to such situations because we just want to help someone or sympathize or give someone confidence not knowing you keep taking a piece of yourself.

Beat couple. He is a grown up who made mistakes. He grew up.

Zac has walnuts in his cheeks.

is this more clear than normal I feel like I can see every pore on their face lmao

WE NEED MORE BRENDAN.

I thought you can’t be on the bachelor if you’ve been arrested

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!????????

when they were walking to the ferris wheel, he tried to kiss her, she pulled away

& he reminds me of nick viall

Was he vulnerable to be the bachelor or because he really likes her ?? Because it became on going theme in this Franchise..when you have a story be vulnerable, cry , and compete in the final 4 .. there is a very big chance that you will be chosen to be the bachelor or bachelorette..

I worry about Zac’s addiction. Ok I know he’s in recovery but you are still an addict even in recovery. I’ve been with recovering addicts and I just can never do it again. I’m also worried about Zac’s health, you can tell in his skin that he trashed his system with drugs or something and there are some further health problems coming. Clearly she has a ton of chemistry with Zac but he’s not cuter than Colton. Ivan is way cuter and age shouldn’t be a factor, my spouse is 13 years younger and we still feel like honeymooners 5 years later. Ivan would be the peaceful fun one but I also don’t think she’s in love with either one of them.

I adore Tayshia but why does she purse her lips at 0:11

I honestly don't see a match happening for Tayshia with any of these guys. I think Ben is really into her and if I absolutely had to choose one, I would choose him or maybe Brendan, but really just can't see it with any of these guys.

I think she likes him a lot but he isn’t very into her. Also I really don’t like his voice lol I know he can’t change it but idk I don’t feel like he’s very genuine.. she’s so glowy! And makes me want to dye my hair like hers

Zac C. Remind me of Nick who use to be on there shows. He was trying to find love too. I’m kinda scared about Zac C. I just don’t want to see Tyashis getting hurt. She has other four guys she like. One is very one to close to her more. Hope she will look at these other before she pick one out. Her family doesn’t want her to get up again. She need someone to love her, treat her like a queen. That what she need in her life she very intelligent lady and beautiful inside and out. So I pick two I kinda like for her is Brendan or Ivan. But what we can say about that it her life. Just want her to be happy that all.❤️

I am going to be honest, I like Zac but I am turned off and scared for her.

Teisha we tired of looking at you taisha Wii title looking at you

I understand why Clare went with Dale i dont see Teyesha going out of this having a lasting husband

Something about him, maybe his eyes, remind me of Shawn Booth. Other than that, his whole vibe is Nick Viall, 100%! (Let me know if anyone else sees this.)

Tayshia please pick Ivan, I don't see you as a match with Zac, too many obstacles

He is more into her than she is into him

Red flaggggggggggg

zac is to intense for me

Did she really just say... was it scary having a brain tumor....

Sorry but he's a little too cool and suave... I don't trust him.

😴😴😴

God American shows are sooo dramatic. Ugghh

I just can't stand him don't know why. Always feels like he's playing a character
