It’s a wrap.The 23rd seasonofThe Bachelorcame to an end in March 2019.
As the first virgin Bachelor, there was certainly a lot of hype ahead of Season 23.
And there’s already hype around the upcoming star of the spinoff franchise:Hannah B., the nextBachelorette.
Either way,The Bacheloris a big part of many people’s lives.
Here are some examples of the latter.
The first Bachelor was a 31-year-old hunk who attended Harvard and Stanford.
Whether we admit it or not, we’re nowveryfamiliar with the concept.
Trista Rehn, a 29-year-old physical therapist, ended her time on the show as the Bachelor’s runner-up.
Shannon Oliver, a 24-year-old financial-management assistant, came in at third.
Luckily for Rehn,she became the first Bachelorettein the spinoff series aptly titledThe Bachelorette.
But, whatever happened to Oliver?
According toher blog, she left the finance world and started dabbling inacting, presenting, and event-hosting.
Season 2: Brooke Smith
The second season ofThe Bachelorintroduced us to bankerAaron Buerge.
The former contestant toldABCthat she married a man named Scott in a “fairytale southern wedding.”
O’Connell eventually made a choice (Brice) duringThe Bachelor: After the Final Rosespecial.
After becoming O’Connell’s runner-up, Kennedy went on to star in another Bachelor spinoff,Bachelor Pad.
Still, that was in 2010.
Although her book has yet to come out, she might just dish about her time spent with O’Connell.
We’ll wait as long as it takes.
What happens on that visit to meet the family can make or break your chances of winning.
That’s not to say the dates always go well, though.
And it really was.
Rantuccio eventually admitted it was a joke, which left Grant “speechless” at first.
“I can’t believe I fell for it,“SFGatequotes the former Bachelor as saying.
Nevertheless,Grant chose Shayne Lamasin the finale.
As Rantuccio’s Instagram shows,the former contestant has found love again.
Since Spivey’s run onThe Bachelor, she’s continued to have an impact on the series.
The former contestant has given uptanningandmost of her makeupin exchange fora healthy skincare routine.
During her time on Season 15, Michelle Money was branded avillain.
“This word is fully loaded.”
The former contestant revealed that she visited an “energy healer” to address her feelings.
She added, “I have been so hard on her.
I have been ashamed of her and her behavior.”
Another contestant, Robyn Howard, called LiCausi delusional.Yikes.
But, people can change, right?
At the end of 2018, LiCausi got engaged to Anthony Luca.
The former controversial reality television show contestant also made the decision to get baptized in 2019.
And, apparently, “reborn.”
Season 17: Lindsay Yenter
Seeing Sean Lowe send Lindsey Yenter home broke all of our hearts.
“I honestly can’t imagine my life without you,“she told the 17th Bachelor.
After the season ended, though, Yenter got back out there to look for love.
“I am really content in how everything ended.
She revealed that she was also in a new relationship.
In 2015,Yenter married Karl Swanson.
She has also since becomea stay-at-home momto two adorable little boys,KadenandLiam.
Now, that’s a true fan.
When the former professional soccer player handed Nikki Ferrell the final rose, he didn’t profess his love.
Instead,he told her, “I like you a lot.
Still, Ferrell accepted the rose and became the winner of Season 18.
“We were just going back and forth through texting.
He was questioning the relationship and I was questioning it back.
I sent him a message saying, ‘We should fight for this.
We should work this out.’
And he didn’t respond.”
Most gorgeous couple ever?
And she doesn’t care if you don’t like it.
“So I squatted twenty times harder and ran two extra miles.”
She continued, writing, “Don’t tell me what to be or who to be.
I won’t fit in your box.”
That’s right, girl.
“I’ve burned a lot of sage, girl,” she told interviewer Lauren Zima.
“I’ve saged my soul.
I’ve saged everything.”
All that energy-cleansing must’ve worked.
Krystal Nielson and formerBachelorettecontestant Chris Randone met onBachelor in Paradiseand fell in love.
Despite only dating for a number of weeks,the couple got engagedduring the season finale.
And we’re all here for it!
