We’ve seen many Bachelor and Bachelorette stars’ love lives play out on national television, but we’ve only seen a few show off their moves on Dancing With the Stars. Ten Bachelor Nation alumni have been part of the famous dance competition show since its first season in 2005, but only three have won — including 2020’s winner Kaitlyn Bristowe, Hannah Brown, who took home the mirror ball trophy in 2019, and Melissa Rycroft in 2012.
