Get your tissues ready, Bachelor Nation. Jesse Palmer confessed that Zach Shallcross’ season of The Bachelor was the “most emotional show” that he’s hosted so far.
“It’s really all about the love story and romance and a little bit less about the drama, I think,” the Canadian host, 44, exclusively shared with Us Weekly on Saturday, November 5, at the Bachelor in Paradise Tastemaker event in Hollywood. “The women are really into Zach.

This is easily the most emotional show that I’ve hosted in the franchise.”

While season 27 has not wrapped filming yet, Jesse is “10,000 percent” sure that Zach will find his happy ending even though “he’s already been through a lot.”

The twosome reunited on stage during the first part of the live finale, which aired in September, and the exes ended things amicably. “I want all the happiness in the world for you,” the Florida native told Zach as
