6. Colton Underwood
Okay, now here we go with a good one. Stuff happened both during and after his season, including something that legit just happened.
Starting with the stuff that happened during his season. Colton obviously had pretty strong feelings for Cassie; however, her dad didn’t want her to marry him (first of all, was that really him or just a sad excuse for Cassie to not seem like the a*** h*** here). Anyways, when Cassie tried to break his heart, he ripped his mic off, jumped the fence and went after her. He ran so far that producers couldn’t find him for a few hours.
Next up, is the stuff that happened after his season. First of all, according to his Netflix docuseries Coming Out Colton, he was on some meds that made him do things that he’s not proud of, earning him a temporary restraining order (after putting a tracker on Cassie’s car) from Cassie herself.
Second of all, he came out as a gay man! For that alone, Colton, we are so proud of you! Keep being yourself and you can do no wrong! (I’m only one episode in and Coming Out Colton is absolutely phenomenal—tear-jerking, comedy, heartfelt stories all-in-one.)
5. Matt James
Oh, boy, here we go. First of all, Matt was my number one least favorite bachelor. People have made comments about how boring they think Clayton will be, but if he gets more boring than Matt (not humanly possible), then I don’t know what to do or think anymore. It’s all a lie!
While Queen Victoria should’ve been called Peasant Victoria if you ask me, a pretty big scandal, minus all of the ones and drama that she started within the house during the season, hit the news afterwards.
Matt’s final chosen lady, Rachael Kirkconnell, earned herself a badge that she 100% didn’t deserve. Come for me, go ahead, but she didn’t deserve a piece of what she got from all of the haters out there. If Matt was willing to give her a second chance (still currently together – yay), then so should you, America. Show some compassion…what if that was a family member of yours? Would you be saying the same things and treating her the same way? Nope.
Rachael, I love you, I support you, and however you need to better yourself, just be yourself! #MuchLoveGirl
4. Nick Viall
Going quite a decent amount of time back, Viall first made his debut on lawyer Andi Dorfman’s season of The Bachelorette where he earned the coveted First Impression Rose and ultimately made it to the finale. He got ‘beat out’ by Josh Murray (not with Andi anymore).
Nick then was so infatuated with Kaitlyn Bristowe that he somehow ‘snuck’ his way onto her season, causing quite the uproar when they became deeply intimate with each other way before the fantasy suite options.
While he made it to the Final Rose, Shawn Booth ended up winning. Then Nick finally became The Bachelor’s leading man in 2016, where he chose Vanessa Grimaldi (loved her, so cute), but they are also no longer together. Surprise, surprise.
However, Nick is not a single man anymore and is currently dating a woman named Natalie Joy.
