Ready or not, it was time for Jess Girod and Aly Jacobs to say their goodbyes on the Monday, February 27, episode of The Bachelor.“I definitely was blindsided,” Jess, 23, exclusively told Us Weekly of Zach Shallcross at the recent Women Tell All taping in Los Angeles. “Throughout our journey, he always reassured me and validated me.

He always told me everything’s gonna be OK and to just kind of hold out, hold on. So as time went on and I wasn’t getting that special quality time with him, I was definitely in my head of like, ‘What am I missing here?

There’s nothing being communicated, that’s wrong.’ So in a way, I saw it coming because it just wasn’t adding it up, but yeah, I definitely was blindsided still.”In order to view the video, please allow Manage CookiesZach, 26, sent Jess home during the evening portion of the group date after she expressed concerns about not receiving a one-on-one date yet.“The exit was frustrating on both ends,” she continued, telling Us that they were both “confused” during their chat. “It wasn’t a good feeling to sit with because it was like, ‘Well, what could I have done better?

What could I have said better? Should I have fought for him?’ But also, I want someone to fight for me. So it was a very weird place that we left off.”Things got tense between Jess and Zach as he didn’t understand why she was putting so much emphasis on the idea of a solo date.
