Greer Blitzer: 5 Things To Know About ‘The Bachelor’ Contestant Who Tested Positive For COVID

Greer Blitzer is one of seven women left on season 27 of ‘The Bachelor,’ but a positive COVID test has kept her from spending time with Zach in the last two episodes.

• Greer Blitzer is a contestant on season 27 of ‘The Bachelor’ with Zach Shallcross.
• Greer received the first impression rose on night one.
• Greer tested positive for COVID during week six of filming and had to quarantine in her Estonia hotel room.
• Greer will return in the March 6 episode and reunite with Zach after nearly three weeks apart.

After Zach Shallcross tested positive for COVID-19 during week five of The Bachelor, one of his remaining contestants, Greer Blitzer, also received a positive COVID test. She had to quarantine during week six, and did not get the chance to go on a date with Zach in Estonia. However, previews for the March 6 episode reveal that Greer is out of quarantine and hopeful to continue her journey with the Bachelor.

Earlier this season, Greer got Zach’s first impression rose on the first night of filming. However, she never received a one-on-one date after that, and was admittedly worried about her future with Zach after losing time with him amidst the COVID debacle. Viewers will find out Greer and Zach’s fate during the March 6 episode. Learn more about her below.

5. Greer Blitzer’s Blackface Apology

When season 27 of The Bachelor began filming, some of Greer’s old tweets defending someone wearing blackface resurfaced. She took to her Instagram story to apologize. “The journey to love is filled with lessons and these lessons are also made on our journey of growth,” Greer wrote. “In my past, I have made some uneducated, ignorant and frankly, wrong, comments on my social media accounts. In particular, I used misguided arguments on Twitter to defend a student who dressed in Blackface as Tupac for Halloween. I am deeply sorry to those I have hurt, especially those within the Black community, not because these screenshots have resurfaced, but because I ever shared these harmful opinions at all. Time and age do not excuse my actions, but this is not a reflection of who I am today.”
