Jesse Palmeris sharing all the details behindZach Shallcross’s decision to sendTahzjuan Hawkinshome on Monday night’s episode ofThe Bachelor.
Halfway through, Tahzjuan (who first appeared onColton Underwood’s season ofThe Bachelorand later onBachelor in Paradise), expressed an interest in joining his season, saying Zach had “a really good head on your shoulders … and so, I would love to add myself to the mix. Just wanted to see where you’re at.”
Zach decided to send her home “rather quickly,” as Palmer recalls, which endeared him to many of the women in the house.
“I think [other people] in Zach’s position, they may have played it a little bit and sort of gone around the room asking different women what their opinion would be if in fact he did decide to bring another woman into the mansion,” shared Palmer, 44, on Tuesday’s episode of thePEOPLE Every Daypodcast. “And Zach sort of made the decision himself.”

“Zach sort of gets put in a bit of a difficult situation, and I think the one thing to look back on all that, you know, to me it really stood out was just how decisive Zach was in the moment,” he said. “You know, he didn’t let any of the drama sort of fester and manifest itself, especially with the other women.”
Seems in keeping withZach’s promise to dial down the drama (and up the emotion)on his season.
