ABC says Ariel is "a thrill-seeker," and so far on The Bachelor, Zach has been taken with the bachelorette.

Zach has told Ariel on the show that she's "mysterious" and he's very "intrigued" by her.


Zach and Ariel are also able to laugh together, and Zach apparently appreciates her sense of humor and the fact she's an empathetic person as well as a great listener.

During Week 4 of Zach's journey, he gave Ariel a group-date rose, which made her feel excited and validated. Ariel finally felt like her feelings for Zach were being reciprocated.

Although Zach had to cancel a group date in London because he tested positive for COVID-19, Ariel still received a rose at the franchise's first-ever virtual Rose Ceremony.

Ariel has yet to receive a one-on-one date with The Bachelor star, but according to previews, that's going to change.

The Bachelor host Jesse Palmer recently teased that Zach's season is "a throwback" and the "most emotional" one he's ever hosted. Jesse also noted how Season 27 will be more "about the love story" and "less about the drama."


Will Zach's epic love story include Ariel, or is the Bachelor star falling for someone else?

Until viewers can watch Ariel and Zach's relationship unfold on The Bachelor 27, let's learn a little bit about the bachelorette right now.

Below is a list of six facts Reality TV World has compiled about Ariel Frenkel.

Ariel took a summer culinary course in Florence, Italy at Florence University of Arts in 2012. She learned how to prepare Italian cuisine by region.

While at school, Ariel was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.

Ariel seduced Zach during her virtual chat with him in London

In a deleted scene The Bachelor posted on its official Instagram page, Ariel began her virtual chat with Zach in a seductive black outfit, and Zach's jaw was nearly on the floor when he watched her walk into the room.

"Mr. Shallcross, we have a covert mission today. Are you ready?" Ariel tells the Bachelor.

"I am so excited. I have no idea what to expect, but wow, you look great," Zach replies.

"Are you ready? We have to save London," she explains.

"Okay, we're saving London, yes! What are we doing?" Zach playfully asks with impatience in his voice.

Ariel says, "We're saving London the best way I know how -- through alcohol. We're going to make James Bond's favorite drink. So you should check your door right now, because there's something waiting for you. I believe the butler has delivered something for our covert mission."


Zach proceeds to find a martini, and then he and Ariel both sip one together.

"We took the risk. I don't think they're poisoned," Ariel concludes.
