Every good show has a villain, and that goes for reality TV as well.
On ABC's "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette," someone can be pegged as a "villain" thanks to editing. But one has to give the editors the footage too. And it's clear that many contestants have earned the title.
Here are 17 of biggest villains from the "Bachelor" franchise:
Brad Womack, "The Bachelor" season 11 (2007)
Womack narrowed down his 25 women to the final two and ultimately picked neither of the two women after they professed their love for him. Fans of the series were mad at him for walking away.
Where is he now? He got a second shot at love when he was the bachelor once again for its 15th season. He chose a winner then, but the two are no longer together. Womack doesn't have any social media accounts, so he's stayed relatively quiet. He did open up a bar in Houston, Texas in 2012.
Jason Mesnick, "The Bachelor" season 13 (2009)
After becoming a runner-up on "The Bachelorette" season four, Mesnick became the 13th bachelor.
Mesnick finished the season engaged to Melissa Rycroft. But in a surprising twist, he changed his mind and dumped her on live TV during the "After the Final Rose" special. He then asked runner-up Molly Malaney if she wanted to give him another try.
Where is he now? Malaney said yes and the couple has now been married since 2010. They have a daughter, in addition to Mesnick's son from a previous marriage. He is a consultant at NWG Real Estate.
Wes Hayden, season five of "The Bachelorette" (2009)
Hayden went on Jillian Harris' season of "The Bachelorette" with nothing but the worst intentions — he wanted to promote his music career. He also made it to the top four and bragged about having a girlfriend the entire time as the limo was taking him away.
"I'm going down in flames," he said. "The first guy on 'The Bachelorette' to ever make it to the top four with a girlfriend."
Where is he now? Hayden tried his hand on "Bachelor Pad" and has released an album and a few singles, which have received little commercial success.
