The Top 10 Best 'Bachelor'/'Bachelorette' Seasons, Ranked
ABC Go

I’ve been absolutely hooked on the "Bachelor" franchise since I watched Jillian Harris’ season in 2009. Even with all the limos, tears, and being informed by Chris Harrison that “it’s the most dramatic season yet,” I’ve somehow stuck with the show all these years and endured the craziness.

With the beginning of Bachelor Arie’s season, here’s a look back at my favorite seasons of the "Bachelor"/"Bachelorette"!

10. Juan Pablo (2014)

This season was such a train wreck, but that’s part of why it was so good... and it’s OK, right?

9. Ali Fedotowsky (2010)

Despite premiering eight years ago, Ali’s season included some of the most memorable cast members to this day, and Kasey’s “guard and protect your heart” tattoo will never not be funny.

8. Sean Lowe (2013)

I included this season solely because I love Sean and Catherine, and they’re expecting their second child!!!

7. Emily Maynard (2012)

This season introduced current Bachelor Arie, and despite it not working out, I still absolutely loved watching her and Jef’s relationship over the show.

6. Nick Viall (2017)

Nick finally landed a spot as the Bachelor after appearing on the show three times. Even though he and Vanessa may not have worked out, the show brought us a hilarious cast of characters in Raven, dolphin (shark) girl, Taylor, and (my favorite) Corinne.

5. Kaitlyn Bristowe (2015)

Kaitlyn is probably my all-time favorite Bachelorette, and the Shawn/Nick rivalry and introduction of Ben Higgins make the season a winner.

4. Ashley Hebert (2011)

Before there was Sean and Catherine, Ashley and JP reigned as one of the cutest Bachelor couples of all time, and now they’re married with kids! Bentley was also one of the show’s best villains.

3. Chris Soules (2015)

Before “Prince Farming” got arrested for a DUI and a hit-and-run, he was in one of the best seasons of Bachelor history. Ashely I., the pomegranate girl, Becca, Kelsey Poe, Kaitlyn, Carly, Jade- the season welcomed so many future Bachelor favorites.

2. Ben Higgins (2016)

I picked this season since I’m still planning on making Ben my future husband (He’s still single!!!) He is hands-down my all-time favorite Bachelor, and an entire season of Ben can’t be beat.

1. Jojo Fletcher (2016)

The presence of Chad is honestly what makes this season my favorite, not gonna lie. Plus, Jojo is a Baylor grad and her and Jordan are perfect together!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
