"I am falling for Zac, absolutely, and life is so good," Tayshia added.

"Ben opens up to Tayshia about how close he is with is sister, and how he tried to commit suicide twice, in 2018 and 2019. He had broken his back in the Army and had to start a new life and essentially had hit rock bottom," Carbone wrote on Instagram.

Ben's sister was apparently always there for him, and according to ABC, Ben had never told anyone his emotional secret before.
Although the pair's evening turns a bit somber, Ben receives the rose and then he and Tayshia are serenaded by country music singer Adam Hambrick, who sings his new song "Between Me and the End of the World."
For the week's group date, five men are put to the test with a lie detector.
The men accompanying Tayshia on this date are Brendan, Ivan, Noah, Riley and Zac.
Truths will be uncovered when Tayshia scrutinizes the guys and subjects them to a lie detector test.
"She learns some surprising things about her suitors, which means they have some serious explaining to do if they are to snag a date rose and a hometown date," ABC teased of the next episode.
According to Carbone, Riley reveals Riley is not his real name. Riley was reportedly named Dwayne Henderson Jr. at birth after his father.
"After getting older and learning more about him, what kind of person he was and reconnecting with his mother, he legally changed his name, which is now Devon Riley Christian," Carbone shared.
All of the men apparently impress Tayshia with their honesty, which in turn makes her decision even more difficult.
Tayshia reportedly chooses not to hand out a rose at the end of the group date because she's not sure who to keep so close to hometowns and says she needs more time to think.

When Tayshia returns to her suite from the group date, Bennett is reportedly there waiting to talk to her!
Bennett professes his love to Tayshia, Carbone reported, and she tells him that she needs time to think about everything.
The episode then apparently ends on a cliffhanger.
Unlike Clare, Tayshia didn't google her bachelors before filming
Tayshia insists that unlike Clare Crawley, she did not google her cast of bachelors prior to meeting them on Night 1 of Season 16."I did not [cyber stalk]. I did not," Tayshia confirmed during a recent interview with Us Weekly.
"When I was in quarantine, I didn't think that this phone call [to be the Bachelorette] was ever going to come. At that point, The Bachelorette had started [filming]. I did look at the guys once they were first announced for Clare, but that was, like, months and months ago."
ABC released an initial cast of 32 potential bachelors for Clare all the way back in March, and Clare previously admitted she had researched some of those guys and checked out their social media accounts.

A revised list of 42 men was later released in July, and then after quarantine and COVID-19 testing, 31 guys actually appeared on Clare's season and got to date her.
Once Tayshia began her stint on the show, she had 20 men to choose from, including the four newcomers who never got to date Clare.
"I didn't really have the chance to look at them before [I met them], and I'm glad I didn't, to be honest," Tayshia said.

"I just went into it just honestly giving it my all and leaning into the process and honestly being me," Tayshia shared.
"And I loved that I didn't know anything about them and they knew nothing about me. They didn't know who was coming through those doors. I loved it all. I thought it was amazing."
Tayshia admitted she was hesitant to sign on for The Bachelorette only because the cast of guys had initially signed up for Clare, but it apparently all worked out in the end.
"I couldn't have asked for, like, a better group of men. I've always said that I want an older, more mature man that has depth, and all of these guys have exactly that," Tayshia gushed to Us. "It was, like, perfect."
Tayshia says she fell in love with more than one The Bachelorette bachelor
Tayshia revealed in a November interview she fell in love with multiple men while filming the show's 2020 season.When Entertainment Tonight asked how many times Tayshia said "I love you" on her season, Tayshia replied, "I say it multiple times."
Tayshia admitted she fell for "way more" guys than she thought she would, but she dodged questions about whether she professed her love to more than just one guy.
"I didn't know it was possible to fall in love with multiple people, but when you just really lean into the journey and really be vulnerable, you never know what can happen. And it happened to me," Tayshia shared.

Brendan quit The Bachelorette after making Tayshia's Final 4 bachelors!
Carbone reported that Brendan chose to leave the show on his own, which may come as a surprise to viewers since he gushed about possibly spending the rest of his life with Tayshia on their first one-on-one date."His family was the only one that didn't show up for hometown dates... Brendan's divorce was finalized just over a year ago, and apparently that played a big role in why he left," Carbone wrote November 4 on his blog.
"Guess he just wasn't ready to jump into another relationship."

The situation sounds similar to what unfolded on The Bachelorette's ninth season, which starred Desiree Hartsock.
Desiree appeared to fall in love with Brooks Forester on her season, but Brooks suddenly decided to leave the show and walk out on Desiree during the last week of filming.
Desiree apparently got her heart broken and wasn't sure whether she'd be able to continue with the process, but she ended up getting engaged to Chris Siegfried in the finale. Many fans then criticized Desiree for ending up with her second choice.

"Tayshia really allowed herself to fall in love with multiple guys. It's always such a roller coaster," Rob shared.
"At the end, there are a lot of heartbreaking, devastating moments. There's not really a villain. It's more like, 'I want her to end up with him. Wait no, I want her to be with this guy!'"
The Bachelorette spoilers for Tayshia's winner pick

Although Tayshia picked Zac in the end, the couple reportedly did not get engaged.Carbone reported in late September the conclusion of Tayshia's time on The Bachelorette may be surprising and unexpected.
"I do not think we had a normal ending with Tayshia's season," Carbone wrote in his blog.
The spoiler blogger did not provide specific details at the time, but the shocking ending could possibly be Carbone's early-November revelation that Brendan decided to quit and so Tayshia had to pick up the pieces after that with the two men left.

"I told them, 'I don't think I'm gonna get engaged at the end of this, I think I might just leave with a boyfriend or whatever,' and they [understood] and said, 'We're not gonna pressure you to do anything,'" Tayshia, 30, told the magazine's Bachelor Happy Hour podcast on Tuesday.
"You do what your heart wants, so I didn't ever really feel that pressure of, 'Oh my God, I need to find a husband right now.' So I just kind of lived my journey how I wanted to."
Although Tayshia's journey on the show didn't begin until a couple of weeks in due to Clare Crawley's initial stint on The Bachelorette, Tayshia assured Us that she had "enough" time with her group of guys.
"I don't really think I had too short of a time. That was a fear that I had," Tayshia said.
She continued, "I feel like if I had too much time, I might've done what Clare would've done, like, looked up all these guys on Instagram, kind of had an idea on who I wanted to talk to... And I loved that I didn't know anything about them and they knew nothing about me."
Tayshia said the guys "really showed who they are and what they had to offer" in the time they had together.
"[And] I did the same. When you know you know, I think," Tayshia shared. "Either you have an attraction to someone or you don't, and I feel like that's what I kept leaning into."
Are there spoilers about if Tayshia and Zac are still together now?
Carbone said he's not sure where Tayshia and Zac's relationship stands now and anyone's guess is as good as his own.ADVERTISEMENT
"She's a SoCal girl who wants to be an influencer. He runs a sober living facility in NY. So that's where we are right now."

Considering Tayshia and Zac reportedly didn't get engaged, they don't have much of a commitment to uphold to one another when times get tough.
However, Tayshia has been seen with a diamond ring recently
Could Tayshia be engaged after all?! She was spotted with a diamond ring!Tayshia recently sparked speculation she could possibly be engaged by flashing an apparent big diamond ring on her hand.
Tayshia flashed the big diamond ring when she posted a recipe for her iced coffee on Instagram Stories and also shared a selfie of herself holding up her glass and drinking from a straw while recording a recent episode of her Click Bait podcast, according to Us Weekly.
"New @clickbaitBN being recorded!" Tayshia reportedly captioned the selfie in early December.
When did ABC feel they would have to replace Clare with Tayshia?
Rob Mills told Variety that after filming Episode 3 of The Bachelorette's sixteenth season, it was pretty obvious Clare wouldn't be able to fake it with the other guys since her mind was so focused on Dale.Rob and the other producers were thinking to themselves, "How do we make this a horse race?"
"We have to keep people invested for 10 weeks, and they're just going to see her wanting to be with Dale. She made other connections with other guys -- she was okay kissing them and there was definitely a lot of great drama and all of the typical things that you like on The Bachelor," Rob explained.
"But our one big worry was that we wanted to make sure that she really wanted to be with Dale and wouldn't make another connection with someone else. But by Week 3, she was really emotional over it and she was crying and there were real feelings there."

"They're stuck in this one place -- it's not like we could travel and have that to look forward to -- so the bubble was starting to close in on itself... The guys felt a little spurned that they're going all in for Clare," Rob said.
"They've left their jobs to be there, they've quarantined there, it's insanely hot in Palm Springs, and they never really had a chance because Clare only had eyes for one guy. You just go with instinct at that point."

By the end of filming Episode 3, Rob recalled, "The producers started discussing like, 'What would happen if she wants to leave with Dale?' And that's when the producers thought that maybe we should reach out to Tayshia."
The producers had previously met with Tayshia because she was in consideration to star on The Bachelorette's sixteenth season.
"We had met with her earlier and told her that this time, it's going to be Clare," Rob told Variety in his recent interview.
"So since [Clare and Dale] was so unexpected, she came in and basically said, 'You never know when things are going to shake up in your life.' And we are so lucky that we ended up getting two all-time Bachelorettes."
Rob clarified of producers' decision to switch the lead, "There really wasn't the luxury of time, so it was really instinctual."
Rob also insisted replacing Clare with Tayshia was a "roll of the dice" and never a pre-meditated situation, which Carbone had previously claimed. (Carbone said producers knew all along Tayshia would take over for Clare at some point).
Rob said the fact people are questioning the validity of Clare and Tayshia's storyline is "insane."
"You just think, 'Oh my gosh, I swear we didn't plan this,'" Rob insisted.
