While fans will have to watch to see what exactly transpires, Jackson will be on Clare Crawley’s one-on-one date this week. The actions on this date will draw mixed reactions, according to Reality Steve.
“They have a spa date during the day before getting in some pool time,” wrote Reality Steve. “It’s during this time that Zach has some uncalled for aggressive behavior towards Clare that triggers her.” Crawley decides to skip out on the date’s dinner portion, instead, she sends Chris Harrison to eliminate Jackson.
He may have hinted at what transpires, sharing in saved Instagram stories, “A little uh public service announcement, I am pretty well aware by now that I’m going to be looking very uncool in the very near future. I just wanted to let you know that yeah, that’s fair enough. That’s a pretty accurate representation of what’s going on over here.”
