The Complicated, Interconnected History of The Bachelor Franchise

Before Bob and Meredith, there were Jen and Andrew. Jen appeared as a contestant on the third season of The Bachelor, on which tire-magnate Andrew Firestone was the suitor.

Andrew proposed to Jen, but it didn't get far, and the two broke up pretty publicly. Jen went on to star as the season three Bachelorette, and she didn't accept the proposals of either of the final two men — a shocking turn of events for the time.
