Rachel went on a romantic one-on-one date in France

Rachel, Gabby, and the men headed to France in The Bachelorette Week 4. Rachel had a one-on-one date with Tino Franco in Paris that went very well. The pair walked through the rainy streets of Paris and made crepes at a street vendor’s shop. Later, Rachel awarded Tino a rose over dinner.

Meanwhile, the rest of the men met Jesse Palmer in the port city of Le Havre, where he introduced them to the cruise ship they would be living on. Hayden, Tyler, Ethan, Zach, Logan, Meatball, Aven, and Jordan H. later headed to a group date with Rachel, and things turned awkward fast.

Zach Shallcross joked about his awkward attempt to flirt during the week 4 group date

Before Rachel’s group date in The Bachelorette 2022 Week 4, she attended a boxing date where Gabby’s men boxed for her love. Rachel’s men were also in attendance, and she felt hurt when none of them paid attention to her.

After Rachel addressed the men, they were determined to make it up to her. On their group date, the men were introduced to Flora and Boris, “experts in all things romance.” The men are then given a series of tasks with the goal of “seducing Rachel.”

For their first task, Rachel’s men are told to flirt with her. Zach kicked things off with an attempt to dance with Rachel while standing behind her. “Is he choking me?” Rachel laughed.

The other men didn’t fare much better, and at least Zach had a good sense of humor about it. “We flirted. Not well, but it happened,” he told the cameras, smiling. Zach even changed his Instagram bio to read “Le Havre Strangler.” Thankfully, Rachel still gave him a rose.
