Is the First-Impression Rose a Curse on The Bachelor? We're Investigating

Colton Underwood gave his first-impression rose to Hannah G. Ultimately, she made it all the way to the final three, but Colton chose to eliminate her and Tayshia Adams in order to pursue Cassie Randolph, who had quit on her own because she wasn't feeling as strongly for Colton as she felt she should.

Chelsea got Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s first-impression rose in season 22. She made it through to week six before getting eliminated.

Rachel got Nick Viall's first-impression rose and wound up coming in third place on that season. But she got a pretty amazing consolation prize: she was chosen to be the next Bachelorette, where she met her now-husband, Bryan Abasolo. And in an adorable twist, Bryan was actually the recipient of her first-impression rose!

Ben Higgins presented Olivia with the first-impression rose, but she only made it to week six.

After getting the first-impression rose from Chris Soules, Britt made it to week seven and was then eliminated. She was then chosen for the dual-choice Bachelorette season, but Kaitlyn Bristowe won the vote to be the official Bachelorette that year.

Juan Pablo Galavis presented Sharleen with the first-impression rose of season 18, and she stayed on the show through week seven.

Bachelor Sean Lowe broke with tradition by giving out not one first-impression rose but 12 over the course of the night! The list included Catherine Giudici, who won the season, and she and Sean are currently married with three children.

Tierra received a first-impression rose from Sean Lowe almost right away, and she stuck around until week seven. After being the "villain" on the season, Tierra ducked away from the public eye, keeping her social media on lockdown.

Desiree made it to week eight of Sean Lowe's season, but she stuck with the Bachelor franchise, becoming the Bachelorette. She ultimately married her final choice, Chris Siegfried.

AshLee eventually placed third on Sean Lowe's season, then returned for Bachelor in Paradise.

Selma made it partway through the season before being eliminated in week six, along with fellow first-impression-rose recipient Sarah Herron.

Robyn was eliminated halfway through the season in week five. But there's a silver lining: she's still friends with some of the women from her season, and she even threw Selma's baby shower!

Katie received a first-impression rose in her first week, then quit the show the following week!

Jackie made it to week five before being eliminated, then joined the first season of Bachelor in Paradise.

Leslie was able to stick around through week four before being eliminated.

The first-impression rose didn't save Diane from being eliminated the following week, along with two other first-impression-rose recipients, Brooke and Katie.

Sarah wound up with a perfectly respectable run on Sean's season, staying on until week six.

After getting the first-impression rose from Ben Flajnik, Lindzi was down to the final two contestants, but Ben ultimately chose Courtney Robertson instead.

Ashley was one of the shortest-lived first-impression-rose recipients, making it only to week five of Brad Womack's (second) season.

Jake Pavelka gave Tenley the first-impression rose, and she ended up in the final two before losing to Vienna Girardi.

Bachelor Matt Grant gave Amanda the first-impression rose, and she stuck around almost until the end, getting eliminated at the final three.

Brad Womack gave Jenni the first-impression rose, and she ended up becoming part of one of the biggest Bachelor shocks in history. She made it to the final two, where Brad infamously chose neither of his final two contestants.
