If We're Being Honest, We're Still Rooting For These Bachelor and Bachelorette Contestants

Olivia was deemed the villain of Bachelor Ben Higgins's season. Sure, she was a bit over the top with her approach with Ben and made the funniest facial expressions, but I think this was a case of mischaracterization due to the show's editing, and she didn't deserve the hate she got because of that.

Bekah was one of the youngest contestants on Arie's season of The Bachelor and received a lot of backlash because of it. The women questioned her authenticity and readiness to get married, and it really just wasn't fair to her. She's currently living her best life, taking care of her newborn baby.

Wills is arguably one of the most fashion-forward contestants in Bachelor Nation. He graced Becca Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette with his stylish suits and charming personality. Honestly, Wills deserved more screen time just for his fashion alone.

Andi deserved better mainly because she dealt with Juan Pablo for almost an entire season. She then became the Bachelorette and ended up with Josh Murray, who turned out to be another loser. Neither of these men deserved this queen in the first place, to be honest.

Eric was one of the final three contestants on Rachel Lindsay's season of The Bachelorette. He expressed that he had never been in love before until Rachel but was unfortunately eliminated. Eric was very grateful and respectful toward Rachel, and that is why he deserves the whole world forever.

Seinne was well-known for the fact that she graduated from Yale University, but the show didn't include much beyond that. Yes, we were able to see the relationship she developed with Arie, but it didn't feel like we saw enough of her personality. The glimpses we got told us enough about her that we know she deserved more screen time.

Caila had a connection with Ben Higgins from their first date. Even though it didn't work out, she went on Bachelor in Paradise and developed a relationship with Jared Haibon. It seemed like everything was working out between them, but the drama with Ashley Iaconetti got in the way of that relationship. This drama overshadowed her chance to find love on the show, unfortunately.

Matt Donald has officially become the "Grocery Store Joe" of this season. How could Hannah not fall for this cutie? Sure, the limo, er, tractor, entrance was a little awkward, but it was charming! Plus, our hearts melted watching Matt speaking sign language with his family. He at least deserved a chance.

I personally fell in love with Blake the moment he stepped out of the limo on Becca's season. I especially loved the fact that he admired her strength and independence and he would've given her the love she needed and space to be independent. So it was that much worse watching Becca break his heart. He is still one of the contestants I believe deserved better.

Taylor was well-known for feuding with fellow Bachelor contestant Corinne Olympios. However, Taylor was one of the many intelligent and independent women who have graced the show, and she was the victim of mischaracterization due to the show's editing.

When Clay met Becca on The Bachelorette, sparks flew between these two almost immediately. He even received the group date rose when they played football! But when he found out that his injured wrist was worse than he thought, he made the painful choice to leave the show to get surgery. It broke all of our hearts to watch Clay's goodbye to Becca because it seemed like they had something special early on, and it sucked that their time was cut short.

Kenny King is best known as the pro wrestler who was a single dad vying for Rachel Lindsay's love on season 13 of The Bachelorette. The show seemed to focus more on the tension between him and contestant Lee Garrett rather than his relationship with Rachel, and Kenny was sent home shortly after Lee. Kenny was invited back onto Bachelor in Paradise, where his stay was short-lived after missing his daughter too much. Since his time on the show, we're happy to report that Kenny has found love, and we wish him nothing but the best!
