All the Bachelor Nation Alums Who Have Competed on ‘DWTS’ Prove They Came to Slay

Hannah Brown

The Alabama beauty has her sights set on taking home the win with her partner, Alan Bersten. Last year’s winner, Bobby Bones, exclusively dished to Life & Style that he believes she has the moves to make it to the end.

“I think she’s probably the favorite to win — her or [James] Van Der Beek or Lauren [Alaina] — because she has such a following from The Bachelorette and she actually has dance experience so she’s pretty good already,” the radio DJ said.

Girl Power

Hannah isn’t the first Bachelorette to compete, but she is one of the few. Former Bachelor in Paradise contestant Kendall Long exclusively told Life & Style that it’s her time to shine.

“They haven’t really had a lot of female Bachelorettes … on Dancing With the Stars so I think it’s about time she takes center stage with it … She seems really sweet and I think she’s going to be extremely determined to win this thing,” the blonde babe gushed.

Joe Amabile

Speaking of Kendall, her boyfriend from the reality show, Joe Amabile (a.k.a Grocery Store Joe), was partnered with Jenna Johnson during season 27. As always, the Chicago native’s shyness was extremely endearing and fans fell head-over-heels for him. “I’m very nervous. I don’t know how to dance … like, I don’t know how to dance at all. So it’s exciting!” he told Us Weekly before the season.

Nice Moves

The dancing duo vibed really well and were the eighth couple eliminated. “The fact that Joe and I have made the semifinals is crazy amazing. This has been a very different journey for us than it has for the other couples. We’re just very grateful for every week we have to dance together and to spend together,” Jenna gushed about Joe to Us Weekly at the time. “But the fact that people are so supportive of us and Joe specifically, I’m so proud of him for working hard. I think he deserves to be here. I just can’t believe it!”

Nick Viall

Nick Viall appeared during season 24 and made it about halfway through the season with his partner, Peta Murgatroyd. He even shared a passionate smooch with his fiancée at the time, Vanessa Grimaldi, during one of their performances.

Popular People

Despite not making it to the semifinals, Nick and Peta were beloved by fans and had tons of fun numbers including a Cha Cha to a Tiesto remix of Justin Bieber’s hit song, “Let Me Love You.” Um, yes, please.

Chris Soules

After The Bachelor but before all his legal drama, the farmer was on DWTS. His pro partner during season 20 was Whitney Carson and they actually made it all the way to week 8.

Came Up Short

Chris and Whitney were defeated by Rumer Willis and Valentin Chmerkovskiy that season but they had a good run!

Sean Lowe

Sean Lowe was also partnered with Peta during season 16. The pair made to week 6 before being eliminated. He later admitted that the hectic schedule put a strain on his relationship with his now-wife Catherine Giudici — at the time they were still engaged.

“I was rehearsing 10 or 12 hours a day, so my new fiancée was basically just on her own, which was really unfair to her, but being able to work through that and the challenges that you face because we barely knew each other when we got engaged,” he told Entertainment Tonight in 2017.

One and Done

Although he wouldn’t do it again, he doesn’t regret the opportunity. “I would say, given my experience, it’s probably healthier if you just skip it,” he added. “But with that said, I can’t fault anyone for doing it. I did it. I was an average guy who was approached and they said, ‘Hey, we’ll give you a bunch of money if you want to dance.’ And I thought, ‘Sounds fun, sounds easy and I’m an average guy who could use a bunch of money, so I’ll do it.'”

Jake Pavelka

After a disastrous break up with his fiancée from the show, Vienna Girardi, former Bachelor Jake Pavelka tried his luck in the ballroom.

Short-Lived

He and his partner, Chelsie Hightower, made it to week 5 before the pilot ~flew~ off our television screens.

Melissa Rycroft

You may remember the brunette beauty after she was chosen by Jason Mesnick during The Bachelor finale only to be dumped for the runner-up after. However, she completely slayed during season 8 with her partner, Tony Dovolani.

Yes, Queen!

Melissa came in third place and delivered tons of memorable performances all season long.

Trista Sutter

The Bachelorette wasn’t the only show Trista Sutter was first to appear on. She also tried her luck in the ballroom during season 1 of DWTS. She was partnered with Louis Van Amstel.

Womp, Womp

Unfortunately, she was eliminated first but it was just another way she made history on reality television.
