For many, especially contestants-turned-leads, this works out in their favor.

Kimball had a turbulent yet endearing romance with Jenna Cooper during the season and ended up engaged to her.

Kimball’s return on Season 6 was more of a joke than anything.
We’d say it’s very possible he was just there to cause a scene.
For fans who love the show’s drama, Kimball was their golden boy.
She was on theBachelorseason preceding Kimball’s, and would also find herself onBachelor in ParadiseSeasons 5 and 6.
The two would even sharea brief romanceearly on.
Her luck quickly changed after leaving the show.

There was even some speculation that he couldpossibly be the nextBachelor.
But Bigger would indeed make it to the beach inBachelor in ParadiseSeason 5.
Things seemed to go well for Bigger at first.
His relationship with Angela Amezcua seemed genuine.
Then Bigger apparently decided to act like a jerk.
Then,he moped around afterwards,claiming that watching Amezcua leaveParadisewas painful before ultimately eliminating himself.
Since his exit, it doesn’t look like Bigger will return to the franchise anytime soon.
So that’s why I was excited about going.”

This is where the trouble started.
He hit it off with Kristina Schulman, butbegan to pursue Danielle Lombardat the same time.
Unglerteventually chose Lombard, but regretted his decision andleft to pursue Schulmanoutside of the show.
He would then go on toWinter Gamesand have ashort relationship with Lesley Murphy.
That seemed to be the end of the Unglert train untilBachelor in ParadiseSeason 6 came around.
No, it wasn’t Bachelor Chris Soules, whose season she appeared on.
Iaconetti seemed to only have eyes for fellowBachelor in Paradisemember Jared Haibon.
Iaconetti was shipped off toWinter Gameswhich luckily had no Haibon for her to fixate over.
She ended up dating fellow contestant Kevin Wendt post-show.
Then, at the most inopportune moment, Haibon apparently realized his feelings for Iaconetti.

Hopefully, that means no more tears.

And at that point, Bukowski"retired” from reality television.

Things seemed to be changing for Bukowski as he left engaged to Katie Morton.
The cracks began to show quickly, though, at the reunion when Morton appeared without her engagement ring.
The two announced their split on Dec. 10, 2019 on Instagram in a since-deleted post.
It might be time for Bukowski to retire for good.
