Over the years, many members of Bachelor Nation have joined Dancing With the Stars after their search for romance — but not all have taken home the mirrorball.
Melissa Rycroft was the first Bachelor contestant to compete in the series in 2009. While she didn’t win her season, she was asked back for an all-stars season and took first place.
Following her success, many more women from the reality series have gone on to make it to finals including Hannah Brown, Kaitlyn Bristowe, Gabby Windey and Charity Lawson. Both Brown and Bristowe ultimately won their respective seasons while Windey came in second place.
While the leading ladies of The Bachelorette have gone on to do well, the men haven’t had the same luck. Jake Pavelka, Joe Amabile and Matt James were all sent home rather early on when they competed.
