While there have been dozens of seasons ofThe BachelorandThe Bachelorette,the first impression rose hasn’t always been a marker of long term success for the contestants. Throughout the years,there have been a few selectBachelorandBachelorettecontestants who have won their season after earning the first impression rose, but some of the couples have lasted, while others have fallen apart.
