He declined to offer Charity a rose, and the pair had a very emotional goodbye.
Things heated up after Christina stole Charitys moment when she got a group date rose.
At the time, Brooklyn called Kats actions classless, which is clearly still a sore spot for Kat.
Ultimately she said she was proud of herself for the way she ended things.
Greer also spoke with Palmer about her exit.
She said she realizes hes not her person.
Kat also spoke with Palmer about her perplexing exit.
Kat told Palmer that she still doesnt understand why he gave up on her leading up to hometowns.
Charity was the last woman to get a moment in the chair next to Palmer.
When he didnt give her a rose, she said she felt blindsided and was heartbroken.
Kat and Charity also wanted closure and, to some extent, they got some.
After the taping, Zach spoke with Deadline about how he was feeling.
ZACH SHALLCROSS:I always feel the nerves.
Im not someone that like really likes public speaking or getting in front of a crowd.
Also seeing all the women again, like this was the first time Ive seen any of them.
So I was really nervous at first pretty much shaking.
SHALLCROSS:Oh, absolutely.
I think thats huge.
This was the opportunity for that.
SHALLCROSS:I really think it showed the the stuff that matters.
So I dont think theres anything that the show is missing.
What was going through your mind when they went home?
SHALLCROSS:It was really tough, because You just dont stop your feelings there.
Its not like Okay, I make this decision and I move on.
Your emotions just hit you like a wave.
DEADLINE: So, how did you manage those emotions while still continuing to date the women that remained?
SHALLCROSS:Theres like no way to prepare for that.
You just want to be alone.
you should probably be by yourself to just recover.
Id say thats the best word for it, because its nearly impossible to just forget about it.
So its like a bittersweet thing.
