Brianna Thorbourne was one of the contestants vying for Zach Shallcross’ heart on season 27 of The Bachelor. She first caught the eye of the Bachelor nation during After the Final Rose on season 19 of The Bachelorette. Brianna appeared alongside four other women, who got to meet Zach ahead of filming of season 27. During the live show, viewers got the chance to vote for one of the five women to get the first impression rose of the season — and Brianna eventually emerged as the winner.
The rose meant that Brianna went into season 27, knowing that she was safe from elimination at the first rose ceremony. Although it is an enviable position, Brianna still had some worries, which she shared with some of the other women during the January 30 episode. While speaking to the other ladies during a group date, Brianna expressed concern about where she stands with Zach. She revealed getting the first impression rose meant she could not know if Zach saw a future with her, unlike the other ladies who got a rose from him on night one.
However, Brianna maintained she was thankful to the viewers for voting for her, but the situation still left some doubts in her mind about whether Zach felt anything for her. Sadly, getting the first impression adversely affected Brianna’s chances of winning Zach’s heart as the other girls ganged up on her. Despite her chances as one of the early favorites, Brianna self-eliminated during the February 6 episode of The Bachelor.
