The 6 Best And 6 Worst Seasons In Bachelor History

The Bachelor and The Bachelorette have ruled as the most dramatic reality dating shows ever. Despite a few poorly watched installments, the franchise has managed to keep viewers coming back for more. Here's a look at the best and worst seasons in the history of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.

Season 13 of The Bachelor is among the franchise's best for more reasons than one. For starters, the leading man, Jason Mesnick, was the first single parent in the franchise's history to ever become a Bachelor or Bachelorette. Mesnick's dad-status completely raised the stakes for his season, as he made it clear he was searching for not only a wife, but a stepmother for his son, Ty.

Of course, that wouldn't be the last time Mesnick made Bachelor history. Moments after witnessing him propose to his final pick, Melissa Rycroft, viewers watched as Mesnick ended his engagement to Rycroft on the After the Final Rose special, confessing to her that he still had feelings for his runner-up, Molly Malaney. Rycroft was understandably angry.

However, the evening ended on a happy note when Malaney excitedly accepted Mesnick's plea for a second chance.

While Mesnick's switcheroo landed him the title of Most Hated Man in America for a while, his relationship with Malaney blossomed into one of Bachelor Nation's greatest love stories. The couple married and welcomed their first child together, Riley Anne Mesnick, in March 2013. Keep watching to learn The 6 Best And 6 Worst Seasons In Bachelor History!
