The Bachelorette Stars: Ranked By (Super Short) Relationship Length!

As predicted by The Bachelorette spoilers, this season’s leading lady, Michelle Young, did in fact find The One!

Of course … whether he’s The One for right now or just the won who became her first fiance remains to be seen.

Sounds harsh, we know. But it’s true.

A lot can happen in a few short months, let alone years. Remember how Katie and Blake Moynes broke up?

Yes, making love 30-46 times soon after they met was a great place to start, but real life quickly took its toll.

Michelle Young and Nayte Olukoya are no Katie and Blake. We’re not saying that. But they are all too human.

Even in the best circumstances, it’s tough out there for a couple that meets in the bubble of Bachelor Nation.

This is a dating competition throwing people together under a pretense that is literally impossible to sustain.

Can they transition into a new normal? Grow together? Make it work? Sure, but often times, they fall short.

Which stars made their true love last?

Which ones fell in love so hard, yet flamed out so hilariously fast you can barely even call it a relationship?

And what about everyone in between?

Below, we’ve ranked the Bachelorettes based on who was most successful at finding love in her stint as queen.

See how they stack up from worst to first, and say a prayer that it works out for Michelle and Nate

1. Hannah Brown

Hannah brown picture
One of the most recent (and most notorious) Bachelorettes, Hannah Brown a.k.a. Hannah Beast a.k.a. Alabama Hannah a.k.a. Beast Mode, comes in first, or last, depending on your point of view. Hannah got engaged to Jed Wyatt on The Bachelorette, but that was over by the time we got to the After the Final Rose special, at which point she asked out runner-up Tyler Cameron. (That short-lived romance fizzled also.) On the plus side, she sets a very low bar for all who follow in her footsteps.

2. Jen Schefft

Jen schefft
Bachelorette Jen Schefft broke up with winner Jerry Ferris on the After the Rose special because she just “wasn’t feeling it.” Not even making it to the day after the finale? As we saw with Hannah Brown, if nothing else, Jen set very low expectations for everyone else to clear.

3. Katie Thurston

Katie thurston and blake moynes engaged
The train wreck that is Greg Grippo aside, Katie’s season was a hit, as Thurston ended up engaged to Blake Moynes. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, it was all over after a few months. It’s almost like not living in the same city or having any shared interests other than banging isn’t a recipe for lasting love.

4. Michelle Young

Nayte olukoya wins
Michelle Young, whose Bachelorette season just wrapped, literally could not have had a worse go of it than Hannah and Jen, or even Katie for that matter, unless she decides to peace TF out of her storybook romance with Nayte Olukoya within the next couple of weeks. We’re assuming Michelle outlasts not only Katie, but many more women on this list as well. Of course, only time will tell.

5. Emily Maynard

Emily maynard and tyler johnson
Emily Maynard and Jef Holm broke up just a few months after his proposal in 2012. He was never the right guy anyway. Should’ve picked Sean Lowe. Not that she or Sean (who is happily married to Catherine Giudici, who he met on The Bachelor) are overthinking it right now. Sean and Catherine are about as happy as a couple can be, while Emily has since married and had a bunch of kids with Tyler Johnson (pictured). Not the NHL player Tyler Johnson, but another good looking one to boot.

6. Andi Dorfman

Andi Dorfman found love with Josh Murray on The Bachelorette, a move that she seemed destined to make from the start despite a lot of red flags. The heart wants what it wants, we suppose … including ugly and prompt breakups. Their engagement ended after only six months or so.

The Bachelorette Stars: Ranked By (Very Short) Relationship Length!

As predicted by The Bachelorette spoilers, this season’s leading lady, Katie Thurston, did in fact find the one!

Then, as predicted by The Hollywood Gossip, and just about everyone else, Katie and Blake Moynes broke up.

Yes, already!

Even in the best circumstances, it’s tough out there for a couple that meets in the bubble of Bachelor Nation.

4. Michelle Young

Michelle young and basketballs
Michelle Young, whose Bachelorette season is currently underway, literally can’t have a worse go of it than Hannah and Jen, unless she decides to peace out of the show altogether at some point during her quest for love. Given how unlikely that scenario is, and how badly things ended for Jen and Hannah, we’re slotting Michelle in above them already – and given how fast Katie and Blake flamed out, we’re assuming Michelle outlasts her as well.

The Bachelorette Stars Ranked By Relationship Length: Who’s #1?

As predicted by The Bachelorette spoilers, this season’s leading lady, Katie Thurston, did in fact find the one!

But as far as finding lasting love after the show?

Well, let’s just say she has her work cut out. 

Sure, making love 30-46 times since they’ve met is a great place to start, but real life has a way of taking its toll.

Last season, Tayshia and Zac Clark ended up engaged, while Clare and Dale Moss may be back together.

This was a much better year than most. It’s just hard to bank on a romance stemming from a reality TV show.

Why? It’s just the nature of the beast.

If Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum split, after starting a beautiful family together, that’s all you need to know.

Even in the best circumstances, it’s tough.

This is a dating competition throwing two people together under a pretense that is literally impossible to sustain.

Can they transition into a new normal, grow together, and make it work? Sure, but often times, they fall short.

Which stars made their true love last?

Which ones fell in love so hard, yet flamed out so hilariously fast you can barely even call it a relationship?

And what about everyone in between?

We’ve ranked the Bachelorette stars based on who was most successful at finding love in her stint as queen.

See how they stack up from worst to first, and see if Katie can still succeed where others failed …

1. Hannah Brown

Michelle young and basketballs
Michelle Young, whose Bachelorette season is set to begin later in 2021, literally can’t have a worse go of it than Hannah and Jen, unless she decides to peace out of the show altogether at some point during her quest for love. Given how unlikely that scenario is, and just how badly things ended for Jen and Hannah, we’re slotting Michelle in above them already.

4. Katie Thurston

Katie thurston and blake moynes engaged
The train wreck that is Greg Grippo aside, Katie’s season was a hit, as Thurston ended up engaged to Blake Moynes. Sure, the odds are still against them, but it sure seems like a good fit, so let’s take the glass half full attitude for now. Good luck to these lovely sexy people!

5. Emily Maynard

The Bachelorette Stars Ranked By Relationship Length!

As The Bachelorette spoilers predicted, Clare Crawley essentially got engaged and bowed out of the show early in 2020.

Crawley was replaced by Tayshia Adams, who finished the job of doling out the roses and ended up engaged herself.

In this most bizarre year for the series, and in general, a double shot at lasting love is just what Bachelor Nation needed.

Looking ahead, we’re hoping for the best for both Clare and Tayshia on their journeys, but the odds are not in their favor.

Why do we say that? Life gets in the say.

If Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum split, that tells you all you need to know. Even in the best circumstances, it’s tough.

This is a dating competition throwing two people together under a pretense that is literally impossible to sustain over time.

Can they transition into real life, establish a new normal and make it work? Sure they can, but often times, they fall short.

Which stars made their true love last?

Which flamed out so hilariously fast you can barely even call it a relationship? And what about everyone in between?

We have ranked the 17 Bachelorette stars based on who was most successful at finding love during her stint as queen.

See how they stack up from worst to first, and see if this year’s TWO stars can succeed where others have failed …

DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak broke up seven months after their finale aired. Silver linings: Her journey introduced us to Jason Mesnick, one of the more popular contestants in franchise history, and DeAnna went on to marry Stephen Stagliano, a high school teacher and the twin brother of former Bachelorette contestant Mike Stagliano!

6. Tayshia Adams

Tayshia adams and zac clark wedding photo
We can’t put Tayshia Adams any higher on this list, since her journey just unfolded on ABC, but she and Zac Clark are engaged and head over heels in love. Nothing is guaranteed, but we don’t see these two flaming out as fast as some of the mismatches we’ve seen on this franchise. Or possibly at all! It’s been a solid few months since they met on the show, and hopefully, they’ll be a lot higher on this list as their relationship grows over time.

Bachelorette Favorites Ashley Hebert & J.P. Rosenbaum’s Split Was ‘A Long Time Coming’

While we understand the probability of finding lasting love on reality TV is slim to none, many had high hopes for this couple! Sadly, late last week Bachelorette star Ashley Hebert and her husband J.P. Rosenbaum announced their decision to part ways after eight years of marriage. Now, we’re learning more about the troubled relationship, […]

Clare Crawley’s journey hasn’t even aired yet, but she’s reportedly found love with Dale Moss – and besides, even if The Bachelorette’s 2020 season ends in shambles, you can’t flame out harder than Jen or Hannah B., so she’s already ahead two spots in these rankings!

4. Tayshia Adams

Like Clare, we can’t put Tayshia Adams any higher on this list since her journey hasn’t unfolded on ABC yet – but she also can’t possibly mess it up harder than Hannah or Jen, so hey.

The Most Stunning Women of The Bachelor: Who’s the GOAT?

It may not have the best track record when it comes to lasting love, but The Bachelor franchise does not lack for eye candy.

Let’s face it, members of Bachelor Nation have seen some truly gorgeous human beings in a decade and a half on ABC.

This is true on both sides of the gender coin.

No wonder Pete couldn’t make up his mind last season. Dude’s on his third relationship from the show … since it ended!

In any case, let’s get down to the lecture at hand:

Here are the hottest women of The Bachelor – some of whom became The Bachelorette, and some of whom still might.

Heck, two of them might be The Bachelorette right now!

That whole situation is something else, but here today we’re just going to discuss beauty, which is in the eye of the beholder.

Or something. And just so we’re clear, we also ranked the hottest bachelors; we are 100% equal opportunity objectifiers.

See if you agree or if you think we’re crazy …

43. Kaitlyn Bristowe

Hot kaitlyn bristowe photo
Kaitlyn Bristowe, the 2015 Bachelorette, is a bona fide cutie. And was never afraid to say and do what she thinks, including how she wanted to get her field plowed by Chris Soules. That kind of comment is always good for upping the wild card hotness factor.

42. Raven Gates

Raven gates pic
The pride of Hoxie, Arkansas, Raven Gates, Nick Viall’s runner-up in 2017, is as cute as they come … making it all the more surprising that she has never come. (Sorry.)

41. Tenley Molzahn

A controversial pick, perhaps, but we always had a soft spot for chipmunk-voiced, bubbly Tenley Molzahn.

40. Caelynn Miller-Keyes

39. Courtney Robertson

Courtney Robertson reminded us often that she did modeling. Then wrote a book about reverse cowgirling Ben Flajnik in the Fantasy Suite. That is all.

38. Corinne Olympios

Corinne olympios topless
Corinne Olympios overdid it with her sexual antics and forced theatrics at times during Nick Viall’s season, and later on Bachelor in Paradise when she was involved in a sexual situation that temporarily shut down production. But, hey, drama aside, she is most definitely an attractive female.

The Bachelorette: Leading Ladies Ranked By Relationship Length!

If The Bachelorette spoilers are any indication, Clare Crawley will be handing out the roses this summer on the long-running show.

Her age, 38, has been the topic of many headlines, but 38 is far from old. It’s just mature. As in Clare is ready to find a life partner.

Yet if look at the venerable franchise’s track record, however, the Californian’s odds of long-term success are mixed at best.

Why do we say that?

Isn’t it obvious? This is a dating competition throwing two people together under a pretense that is literally impossible to sustain.

Can they transition into real life, establish a new normal and make it work? They can, but often times, they fall short of that goal.

Which stars made it work?

Which flamed out fast?

We have ranked the 16 stars of The Bachelorette based on who was most successful at finding love during her stint as queen.

See how they stack up from worst to first, and see if C-squared can find what some (if not all) of her predecessors have found …

1. Hannah Brown

Our most recent Bachelorette, Hannah Brown a.k.a. Hannah Beast a.k.a. Alabama Hannah a.k.a. Beast Mode, comes in first, or last, depending on your point of view. Hannah got engaged to Jed Wyatt on The Bachelorette, but that was over by the time we got to the After the Final Rose special, at which point she asked out runner-up Tyler Cameron.
