The track record of ABC's hit reality show "The Bachelor" isn't exactly stellar. Eleven bachelors have come and gone, as have hundreds of man-hungry bachelorettes; some more unforgettable than others. The only match that the show can claim is that of the first bachelorette, Trista Rehn, with her heartthrob, fireman Ryan Sutter. The couple married on national TV and just recent had their first child.
Trista was actually a finalist in the very first show with bachelor Alex Michael. However, despite the fact that he promised to choose her, he sent her packing in favor of Amanda; a younger blond beauty who admitted to breast enhancement for the show.
Unfortunately, Alex and Amanda didn't last long and both have moved on. Perhaps the rumors that swirled around claiming that Michael continued to contact Trista even after picking Amanda had something to do with the outcome. Alex now works at a Management Consultant in New York.
Bachelor number two - - Aaron Buerge - - continues to work as a banker and to expand his line of restaurants. He appeared to have feelings for three women while on the show. They included brunette, Helene, who he ultimately chose, and two lovely blondes in Brook and Gwen.
The choice of Helene proved to be the wrong one and the couple soon parted ways. Buerge admitted his mistake and lamented not having chosen either Gwen or Brook. He continues to search for love, likely in all the wrong places.
Brook, on the other hand, is happy things turned out the way that they did. She is now married to the man of her dreams and works as television correspondent.
Bachelor number three, Andrew Firestone, and his leading lady, Jen Schefft, moved in together but also eventually parted ways. Jen Schefft went on to become the show's second bachelorette and the only one to be proposed to by both of her final men. Jen ultimately chose bachelor, Jerry Ferris, but the two didn't get very far before they also fell apart.
Andrew, on the other hand, when on to meet the love his life, Serbian model, Ivanna Bozilovic. The couple is engaged and plans to marry this fall.
