Top 10 Most Notorious Villains of The Bachelor, Bachelorette, and Bachelor Pad

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. The last season of Bachelor was no different. Ben Flajnik’s Season 16 winner, Courtney Robertson, nabbed the "villain" title early on, and fans’ fury was only fueled by 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 (most likely, until someone from Emily Maynard's season "wins" the title). 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.
