* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: During Peter's season, {{SouthernBelle Madison Prewett}} ends up leaving during the finale after learning Peter was intimate with other women, and this is treated as justified. As a Christian, Madison was adamant about saving herself for marriage. However, some viewers questioned why someone as religious as Madison would go on a show so contrary to her values.

** Despite Clayton's immaturity during his stint as the Bachelor, the Bachelor Nation has sided with him in the midst of a pregnancy scandal, especially given the woman public bashing him, has yet to even provide any real evidence that he was the father, and him willfully giving his DNA to settle things once and for all. When the woman claimed she "lost" the baby, the support for him has doubled.

** Many fans were NOT happy at Sarah Coffin's early elimination on Peter's season. She was just out of a serious relationship (almost engaged!), and many thought that could have been interesting.
** Daria Rose, a Hurricane Sandy survivor who was accepted to seven Ivy League schools is eliminated in the first week of Clayton’s season.
* UnintentionallySympathetic: Yosef in Clare's season is treated like a selfish jerk by both her and all the other men for calling Clare out on her degrading group date, and while he carries himself in a very arrogant manner and gets unnecessarily personal in insulting Clare (and, frankly, could have just ''left the show''), he does raise a good point about how "naked dodgeball" had nothing to do with winning Clare's heart and was just there to be humiliating, emphasizing a DoubleStandard in the show.

!YMMV for the film:
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: After Artie puts the ad in the paper, the film shows various women across the city noticing and getting dressed for the ad. With only a dozen or so in the church near the end. Then cuts straight to Jimmie's friends seeing HUNDREDS of brides mob the church. For context, the original Seven Chances had a slow start of one bride, the a few, then a few dozen before hundreds fill the church and streets.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot:
-During the church scene, they could've had the previous lovers of Jimmy show up knowing he's worth money now. It could've been both funny and interesting to see them interact with both Jimmy again and all the other brides.(Plus a reference to Brideless Groom.)
-On that note the entire bride chase feels rather wasted. Given that some of the brides have some personality plus having more women chasing than Seven Chances, they could've made a chase that was more chaotic or at least on the standard of Seven Chance's chase. (Their was some aspects in the trailers that didn't make the cut, like Jimmy enter a bus to see dozens of brides filling it, or jumping from the top of buses full of brides with more filling the street.)
* OneSceneWonder: The main talkers of the brides (Those being the punk bride, biker bride, older bride, peppy bride and African American bride) only talk during the church, with their criteria scene being one of the more memorable moments of the movie.
* AwesomeArt: Despite it being rushed due to lack of budget. The prospective brides at the end are a rather impressive. With the crew gathering over a thousand women (& men!) to chase Jimmie.

** Some fans like Nick Viall as the Bachelor and felt he was a good choice after having been runner-up on two previous seasons. Other fans cannot stand him for being an AttentionWhore who just wanted to extend his FifteenMinutesOfFame. The fact that he and his winner (Vanessa) broke up not long after doesn't help.

Other fans cannot stand him for being an AttentionWhore who just wanted to extend his FifteenMinutesOfFame. The fact that he and his winner (Vanessa) broke up not long after doesn't help. Then with his podcast a lot of other Bachelor alums have taken to calling him out on some his views, defending Bachelors and Bachelorettes he's called out, which Nick will usually then take as a personal slight against him.



** After his failure to choose either Jenna or [=DeAnna=], Brad quickly became Bachelor Nation's public enemy #1! Bear in mind that this was before Juan Pablo, Brad was easily the most hated Bachelor up to that point. So to peoples unpleasant surprise, when it was announced that Brad would have another go around as the Bachelor, the Bachelor Nation did not react well. However, as his season went on, it became clearer and clearer, Brad did seem to have an emotional investment with the ladies, particularly Emily, and seemed to have matured from his past mistakes. So when he proposed, and Emily accepted, it was a well thought of moment. Even when their relationship didn't make it to marriage, fans still tend to look back more fondly on Brad's second tenure as the Bachelor much more fondly than his first.

** Demi still hanging around on "Bachelor In Paradise" after she definitively hooks up with her girlfriend Kristen from back home. Many people point out this defeats the purpose of the show, as she found love and was taking up space for other Bachelors and Bachelorettes to have their chance, therefore the two should have just left the Beach. On the other hand, other people were happy she remained, as her commentary on events was often seen to add levity to some of the more serious moments during the season.

%%Reuqires citation from a reputable source* UnfortunateImplications: Matt James season had several controversies surrounding the contestants (Rachel's racist behaviour in the past, Abigail (who is partially deaf) being treated as a TokenMinority, the remorseless bullying), but the biggest one was Anna spreading a rumour that newcomer Brittany was an escort.

** Like Peter, Matt James as the Bachelor is very polarizing. While he isn't hated, not in the least, being seen as a genuine nice guy with a good heart, as well as his historic turn as the first African-American Bachelor, his inability to put an end to the drama with Victoria for so long led to many detractors.
** Dale to a lesser extent. He really didn't seem to be the villain of his short stay, or even a bad person in general, the fact that he was the obsession of Clare Crawley, often seen to be the worst Bachelorette in the history of the franchise, who would often times treat the other men like shit because they weren't Dale, he received his share of hostility from the Bachelor Nation. Not helped by the fact that he and Clare broke up shortly after her aborted time as the Bachelorette, ''twice''.

** Peter Webber as the Bachelor is an interesting case as his season is seen to be lackluster overall. While not really hated, he was found to be relatively boring, and didn't seem to have chemistry with any of his ladies. His indecisiveness and floundering Rose Ceremonies didn't help, nor did the fact that he and his bachelorette broke up literal days after the final rose.

** Brittany from Matt James’ season. She is put into a horrible position by being one of the “new girls”, and gets treated the worst simply because she kisses Matt. She gets slut-shamed, bullied to her face, and worst of all, gets accused of being an escort by Anna. And then the show broadcasted it, basically spreading the rumour worldwide, and potentially ruining her life.

** It gets even worse as he's come out as gay, which makes the red-flags in his behavior now seem as a [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday desperate attempt to appear heterosexual]].

* UnfortunateImplications: Matt James season had several controversies surrounding the contestants (Rachel's racist behaviour in the past, Abigail (who is partially deaf) being treated as a TokenMinority, the remorseless bullying), but the biggest one was Anna spreading a rumour that newcomer Brittany was an escort.most importantly, the show has been called-out for spreading this rumour even more by broadcasting it. It has also been noted that the show edited this in a way that made Brittany possibly being an escort "scary" by putting intense music over her making out with Matt, which gives the implication that if Brittany ''was'' an escort, that somehow makes her dangerous. During the Women-Tell-All, Brittany made it very clear that while she is not an escort, there is nothing wrong with being a sex-worker, which is something the show made no effort to do.

** Also after the Tell-All, many viewers questioned why the show cut out so many wholesome moments between the women, but felt the need to keep in a rumour that could ruin someone's life. And as Brittany explained during her interview, the rumour has ensured that she will have to defend herself from this accusation the rest of her life.

** Katie from Matt's season. After the first couple episodes portrayed her as the quirky one of the contestants, Katie went on to win over fans by being a genuinely NiceGirl, as well as the only one brave enough to tell the bachelor about the toxic bullying in the house. Even though she is sent home rather unceremoniously, many have called her the highlight of a season filled with unnecessary drama and toxicity.

Yosef was criticized because the disrespectful tone and insults he leveled towards Clare on behalf of other men who generally didn't seem bothered by the activity; leaving all that out distorts what happened.


* UnintentionallySympathetic:
** Yosef in Clare's season is treated like a selfish jerk by both her and all the other men for calling Clare out on her degrading group date. While it was not necessarily Clare's fault, the fact that no one empathizes with what Yosef is saying shows a DoubleStandard in the show. Yosef is making good points about how "naked dodgeball" has nothing to do with winning Clare's heart, and is just there to be humiliating. Instead of taking his concerns seriously, Clare yells at him for being disrespectful and kicks him off the show. Even during the Tell All, everyone in the show was still against him. If the genders were reversed, and a female contestant voiced her concerns in a similar way, she likely wouldn't have been treated so harshly. On the flip side, it's also sexist towards Clare, as Chris Harrison asks Yosef if he would speak that way to his daughter (a child). Apparently, adult women need to be treated like children and never be criticized for their behaviour.
