When The Bachelor nurtures feelings of love, it’s no surprise. After all, it’s a dating show! But since the ABC reality dating competition debuted in 2002, it has also generated feelings of great disdain — between America and the contestants, that is. This season is no different. Ben Flajnik’s Season 16 frontrunner, Courtney Robertson, nabbed the "villain" title early on, and fans’ fury has only been fueled by Bachelor Ben's increasing affection for her. And while she’ll have a chance to redeem herself someday (as many in Bachelor Nation do), she’ll have to wear the "Most Hated" crown a little longer. But at least she’s not alone! Let’s look back at some other contestants — including those from The Bachelorette and Bachelor Pad — who have rubbed America the wrong way.
