Though fans don’t take a shine to all of the contestants that pass through The Bachelor franchise, there are always some undeniable gems hidden in the cast. Much of the time, these stellar singles pass right under the lead’s nose and get sent home broken-hearted. They may not get the final rose, but they gain a reputation among fans as being some of the most dateable singles in the franchise.
Some contestants are more memorable than others, and throughout the seasons there have been a handful of women who truly stick out in Bachelor Nation’s collective memory. There have been 25 seasons of women, but not all of them made a lasting impression. These are some of the female contestants whose combination of brains, beauty, personality, and overall it factor make them a cut above the rest.
Sharleen Joynt
The stunning opera singer made her first, and only, Bachelor Nation appearance on Juan Pablo’s season of The Bachelor, but she’s been hard to forget. Sharleen is intelligent, worldly, and well-traveled, and she was a frontrunner from night one. Sharleen is also very intuitive and self-aware and realized she didn’t have a lasting connection with Juan Pablo so she sent herself home. Sharleen got married in 2017, so unfortunately she’s no longer on the market.
Jubilee Sharpe
Jubilee made her debut on Ben Higgins’ season, and then appeared on two seasons of Bachelor in Paradise. She unfortunately never made a real connection on either show, but why that is remains a mystery. Aside from being smart, strong, and absolutely beautiful, Jubilee has a heartbreaking past that has helped shape her into the resilient and outspoken person she is today. It’s surprising that no one from Bachelor Nation has tried to date Jubilee, because any guy would be lucky to be with her.
Kristina Schulman
After appearing on Nick Viall’s season, Kristina was on Bachelor in Paradise for two seasons, but left the show by choice after not finding love both times. Kristina was briefly involved in the Blake Horstmann drama, and the strength she showed when calling him out displayed her assertive and confident personality. The Russian beauty is currently single, but with her amazing qualities, she won’t be for much longer.
Katie Morton
Katie first appeared on Colton Underwood’s season, but after that she briefly found love with Chris Bukowski on Bachelor in Paradise. It’s not hard to see why Chris fell for the funny, gorgeous, hazel-eyed girl, but their romance didn’t last long and the couple broke up soon after the show. Since then, Katie has shared her insight and emotional maturity with fans on Instagram, and it’s clear that she’s ready for a new relationship.
These four former contestants are just a fraction of the exceptional women who have been featured on The Bachelor. All the women on the show are obviously beautiful, but the most memorable and impactful contestants have the brains and personality to stand out above the rest. Although Sharleen, Jubilee, Kristina, and Katie may be some of the most dateable women, every year there are new contestants for fans to fall in love with.
