Zac during the two-hour finale met Tayshia's parents Desmond and Rosario as well as her brothers Desmond Jr and Tice.
Tayshia earlier in the episode allowed Ben back in after previously denying him a rose and eliminated Ivan Hall, 28, for religious reasons.
Ivan was dismissed after their Fantasy Suite experience as Tayshia during the three-man rose ceremony asked to speak with him privately.
'This past week, we've talked about some important subjects. ...There are some things that kind of posed concern,' Tayshia said.

'I wish I could say that there were a lot of red flags prior to this week. And there haven't been. It's just like, at the end of the day, religion's part of my morals and my beliefs,' she told him.
Ivan accepted his fate rather calmly after bonding with Tayshia over their mixed-race backgrounds and the Black Lives Matter movement.
"I definitely get it... That is the roadblock for the two of us. I was definitely struggling with bringing it up, 'cause, you know, all the girls I have dated in the past, it never ended because of religion or anything, but I know that's something that's important to you,' Ivan said.

He apologized for not bringing up sooner as Tayshia told him, 'I really do think the world of you'.
'It's all good. It just sucks,' he responded. 'I meant every word when I said I was falling in love with you this week, and I just hate that it couldn't work out.'
Ivan on his way out admitted that he knew 'this thing could really be the bomb that explodes everything here' and also predicted that Tayshia wouldn't pick anybody following his departure.
