11 of the Most Iconic Bachelor Villains in Franchise History
Being loved may be out of your control, but being hated is an easy feat to achieve. Stirring things up can go two ways, the fans either love your outspoken opinions or they hate you for them.

Often, a more abrasive personality takes over as the season progresses, but there’s always a point where their act evaporates and the real version of themselves comes out. That’s what happened to Devin Strader, who broke Jenn Tran’s heart in the shocking Season 21 finale.
One thing's for sure: Being a villain means you'll be etched in Bachelor Nation history forever. Scroll down to see our ranking of the Bachelorette villains and cast your vote for the biggest bad guy.
