'The Bachelor' Cast Members Everyone Loves To Hate

Samantha Steffen appeared in season 19, competing for Chris Soules' heart, but ended up being disliked by both viewers and fellow contestants, due to her manipulative tactics. She really came under fire after her appearance on Bachelor in Paradise, when other contestants realized she and Joe Bailey had been communicating before the show, and had even planned to "do whatever it takes" to stay on the show until Samantha arrived. To make matters worse, "whatever it takes" ended up being hurting single mother, Juelia Kinney.

Kelsey Poe featured in Chris Soules’ season (19), and quickly became known for her dramatic storytelling about being a widow, which seemed calculated to gain sympathy from Chris, and caused tension among other participants. However, it was Kelsey’s alleged panic attack just before a rose ceremony that really turned viewers against her, as it seemed conveniently timed to distract Chris from sending anyone home.

Vienna Girardi from season 14 also had a controversial run on The Bachelor. Competing for Jake Pavelka's affection, Vienna was often seen butting heads with the other women in the house due to her outspoken nature and perceived lack of respect for others. Her most memorable moment came during a heated argument with fellow contestant Ali Fedotowsky, which led to Ali voluntarily leaving the show. Vienna eventually won Jake's heart, but their relationship ended bitterly, further intensifying viewers' disdain towards her.

Krystal Nielson is another infamous personality from The Bachelor universe. Known for her high-pitched voice, and over-the-top antics during Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s season (22), Krystal quickly became one of the most hated contestants ever. She frequently referred to Arie as "her man," and displayed an intense level of competitiveness that rubbed many people the wrong way. Despite being sent home midway through the season, Krystal’s drama-filled stint left a lasting impression on viewers.

Corinne Olympios, who appeared in Nick Viall's season (21), is one of the most controversial figures from The Bachelor. Known for her bold and unapologetic behavior, Corinne was frequently at the center of drama due to her confrontations with other women, and her unabashed pursuit of Nick. Her decision to take a nap during a rose ceremony, and having a nanny despite being an adult, were among the many reasons she became infamous among viewers.

Olivia Caridi participated in season 20, competing for Ben Higgins' love, but quickly became unpopular among both fellow participants and viewers alike, due to her aggressive approach towards winning Ben's heart at any cost. Her constant interruption of others' time with Ben, coupled with some insensitive comments she made about fellow contestant Amanda Stanton’s children, solidified Olivia as one of The Bachelor’s most disliked figures.
