Not every Bachelor Nation star is from California, Florida or Alabama. There have been Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants from nearly every state in the U.S. since the show’s inception in 2002. With the exception of Wyoming, Delaware, South Dakota, North Dakota and New Hampshire, Bachelor Nation has made reality stars out of everyone from farmers in Iowa to makeup artists from Alaska.
But who is the most well known star from each state? We narrowed down the most popular Bachelor Nation stars in almost every state based on their social media following. Sure, there are tons of Bachelorette contestants from California, but we can tell you who tops the list based on their number of followers as of November 2019.
