Excited for a new episode on Bachelor in Paradise? Former college baseballer turned publisher Zack Kalter will make his comeback on the show tonight!

Unfortunately for Zack, he didn’t get much airtime with Desiree Hartsock and was eliminated in Season 9, Episode 4 when Desiree and her dudes headed to Atlantic City, New Jersey to hang by the boardwalk. Although Zack made a great showing, roller-skating around stage like a champ, he was eliminated when the final rose went to Mikey Tenerelli instead of him.

Zack is super fine, he has a great smile and has that “good guy” air to him; even though he left a career in sports he was bound to be on TV, he could easily be a model, did we mention he did some modeling for Abercrombie! Now you remember him?

Do you consider yourself a romantic and why?
Definitely. It’s important to always be thinking about your girl and to continue growing together each and every day.

What is the most romantic present you ever received and why?
In my past relationship, I would always receive handmade cards on Valentine’s Day. I loved them because they were sentimental and took a ton of effort to create.

What’s the closest you have ever come to being married?
Very serious “future” talks and ring shopping. That’s pretty close.

Do you like being the center of attention, or do you prefer being more mysterious and why?
Definitely mysterious. I don’t like to be too predictable.
