He also had the opportunity to speak with Ariel Frenkel, who came in third place.
It still happened, and I wanted to them to know that that was the last thing I wanted.
But Im manning up for the decision that I made.
I hope that they understand that I do have the utmost respect for them.
Was that important for you?
KAITY BIGGAR:Oh, absolutely.
I think throughout the whole show, we all confided in each other.
In such a foreign atmosphere, we really leaned on each other.
So Im very appreciative and grateful for them to be in my life.
DEADLINE:How have you seen your relationship grow since production ended?
Were traveling the world together.
Were doing crazy once in a lifetime experiences.
Were not naive to that.
Where the real relationship can really start to grow is when you enjoy life together.
And sure, ours has been kind of solitary confinement in a way basically just nice Airbnbs around LA.
it’s possible for you to just spend a lot of time together.
You learn a lot.
And now were finally just actually doing public stuff.
BIGGAR:Yeah, finally.
Theres only so much time you do get on the show together.
You get to know each others morals, values, their heart and everything like that.
I fall in love more and more with [him] every single day too.
DEADLINE:Whats something youve learned about one another since the cameras stopped rolling?
SHALLCROSS:I think Ive learned so much.
But something that I love, Im a big food guy.
and shes a great cook.
We still havent had a lot of opportunities for that.
But she made this one dish that shes amazing at making, this salmon quinoa.
Shes also just the funniest person in the morning.
BIGGAR:Im not a morning person whatsoever.
I get grumpy, and I get hangry.
With Zach, he has lots of quirks about him.
I dont think he really likes when I say this, but I love his impressions of people.
He makes me laugh so much.
DEADLINE:What would you say is the biggest thing you learned about yourself throughout this process?
BIGGAR:I learned so much about myself on this show.
I didnt know I could grow so much as a person in two months and in that bubble.
I wasnt really a vulnerable person, truly.
I didnt really like expressing my emotion.
On the show, it really forces you to talk about the things that arent easy in your life.
I tell people its like a giant therapy sessions that I now need to go to therapy for.
But yeah, I learned a lot about myself.
And like I said, I grew so much and Im so proud of the woman I am today.
I took a leap in front of a bunch of people that watch this show.
I could have had my heart broken.
