1. Becca Kufrin
God bless Becca Kufrin, she is just as sweet as they come and we can’t get enough of her!
Bachelor Nation first met Becca when she appeared on Arie Luyendyk’s season. “Let’s do the damn thing!” she would always say and, whenever it came to Becca, we always agreed with her and got on board. She was tall and gorgeous, had an honest and upfront way about her and always seemed like one of the most easy going girls in the house. It was impossible not to love her.
Alas, Arie was the one person her charm didn’t ultimately work on. While Becca won her season of The Bachelor, only a short while later Arie reneged on the engagement and left her for his runner-up, Lauren Burnham. It was all televised in a brutal, heart-wrenching clip. Many members of Bachelor Nation still hate Arie for what he did to Becca.
Thankfully, she got another shot at love. Becca was chosen to be the Bachelorette and it was a truly redeeming season. While many fans disagreed with her final choice (doesn’t that seem to be a running theme in Bachelor history?), she seems truly happy with fiance Garrett Yrigoyen.
These days, Becca’s life is a little quieter. She’s not making headlines as often and that’s probably a good thing. She’s not a drama starter, choosing instead to have a peaceful and joyous engagement with Garrett. It’s easy to admire her easy-going style and feel like other Bachelor or Bachelorette alums should take note.
