Rycroft is perhaps the most famous jilted contestant on reality TV. The Bachelor's Jason Mesnick gave her his final rose in Season 13, but by the time of the reunion show, his feelings had changed. He dumped her on the special, transferring his affections to runner-up Molly Malaney. Mesnick and Malaney married in 2010.
