23 'Bachelor' contestants who eliminated themselves

Crawley was the star of "The Bachelorette" for four episodes before exiting the season with a fiancé, Dale Moss, in tow. While it seemed incredibly obvious to viewers that she only had eyes for Moss, Foster also had a one-on-one date with Crawley, and it was a pretty intense one at that.

So, when Crawley left and Adams took over, he just couldn't shake his feelings for Crawley — in fact, he said he was in love with her — and decided to leave the season after a day of mulling it over.

After issuing an ultimatum the week prior about Weber "being intimate" with other women during Fantasy Suites, a disastrous meeting with the Weber family, and what she perceived as incompatible lifestyle choices, Prewett left Weber behind in the Australian Outback, leaving him with just one contestant left.

Of course, after the season ended, Prewett admitted she regretted what she did, and proceeded to meet up with Weber after his engagement ended ... but she still initially removed herself from the season.

Stone and Parker were involved in one of the season's biggest feuds. The two got into an altercation on the rugby field, in which Stone claimed that Parker threw him to the ground for no reason, and Parker claimed he was acting in self-defense.

The fight escalated when Parker told Brown that Stone wasn't there for the right reasons, which infuriated everyone, including Stone.

The fight wasn't getting resolved, Brown was clearly conflicted with who to believe, and everyone was upset — so Stone pulled Brown aside right before a rose ceremony and took himself out of the running.

After a season of being told that Randolph wasn't ready for marriage, the "Bachelor" still chose to keep her around until Fantasy Suites.

Randolph hemmed and hawed about whether she was actually in love with Underwood or not. When her father flew to Portugal to inform her he hadn't given Underwood his blessing to ask her to marry him, her decision was made.

What followed was an excruciating conversation in which Underwood all but told Randolph he was going to pick her at the end, and attempted to convince her to stay. She chose to leave anyway, and Underwood hopped over a fence for some time to think about his next move.

Martin's departure from her group date made her the third contestant in a row to voluntarily leave the season.

Martin, who had never been kissed prior to her one-on-one date with Underwood, told him that she wasn't comfortable introducing him to her family at hometown dates.

Lotuaco decided to leave Underwood's season after deciding she wasn't getting enough out of her relationship with him. But before she went, she gave him a piece of advice — to watch out for the contestants who "weren't ready" to accept a proposal from him at the end of the season.

After putting on what Demi, a fellow contestant, called her "statement dress," Dehlbom headed over to Underwood's room to express her difficulties with his dating multiple other women (aka, yes, the premise of the show). When Underwood was unable to tell her he was going to ditch the show to be with her, she left the season in tears.

King and Lindsay came to the joint conclusion that he should leave her season of "The Bachelorette," after he admitted to missing his daughter.

When he returned for "Bachelor in Paradise," he stayed for a couple of weeks before deciding to go home early, after he hadn't made any strong connections and again, missed his daughter.

After second-guessing herself all season long, Trumbull went home after her and Luyendyk couldn't see eye to eye about their relationship — mainly, Trumbull was nervous that she was rushing into something, and Luyendyk believed her life was too complicated because of her plans to attend grad school.

Higgins, a former "Bachelor" himself, left the inaugural season of "Winter Games" when he admitted that he wasn't quite ready to move on from the winner of his season, Lauren Bushnell, during tearful conversations with Ashley Iaconetti and Chris Harrison.

Swiderski exited Jillian Harris' season of "The Bachelorette" after his boss gave him an ultimatum: job or love? At first, he chose his career, and left the season.

However, he had a change of heart and returned to the show, eventually getting down on one knee and successfully proposing to Harris.

Thomson left Bristowe's season after managing to imply that she wasn't there for the right reasons, only cared about making out with guys, and was a "surface-level person."

If that wasn't enough, he was able to drop that he went to Princeton twice in his limo exit, and claimed that he should be the next "Bachelor."

Galavis, a universally reviled "Bachelor," was dumped by Dorfman after she realized that they barely knew each other, a fact that didn't seem to concern Galavis at all.

After her boss threatened to fire her if she didn't immediately leave the show, Fedotowsky prioritized her career over her budding relationship with Pavelka.

Thankfully, she wasn't done searching for love on TV, and was later named the Bachelorette.

Hebert was upfront with the men of her season, and told them that she had seen Bentley again after he had left the show. While none of them were happy, McLean had a particularly hard time dealing with it, and asked her to send him home. When she refused, he took matters into his own hands and exited the season.

A refresher: Bristowe's season of "The Bachelorette" started out with the men picking between Bristowe and Nilsson to become the season's lead. Bristowe won, and Nilsson left broken-hearted.

However, one of the contestants, Toops, told Bristowe that he was more interested in pursuing Nilsson, so he exited the show on night one to follow his heart. Toops and Nilsson dated for six months, but eventually broke up.

Maltby, of Nick Viall's season of "The Bachelor," is a fan-favorite, due to her sweet nature, and openness about her struggles with mental health and her fiancé who passed away.

But, for whatever reason, she didn't click with anyone on "Paradise," so she chose to leave the season early when she got the opportunity to work as a pediatric nurse in Kenya for a few weeks — though she did get a swoon-worthy kiss goodbye from bartender Wells Adams.

"Bachelorette" lead Hebert had been warned about Williams before the season even began, but it didn't stop her from falling for him. Meanwhile, he was bad-mouthing her behind the scenes, telling producers that he wasn't "overly attracted" to her, and excited to make her cry.

He told her that he missed his daughter, but clearly that wasn't the case. Williams returned a few episodes later and essentially told her to get over him.

Shortly before Forester ripped her heart apart, Hartsock admitted that she had "deeper feelings" for him than the other two men left. Sadly, he didn't reciprocate, and brought her onto a dock and broke up with her.

Harbour, a player in the NFL, somewhat ironically injured his wrist during a group date in which the men played football.

In order to properly heal for the season, Harbour took himself out of the running for Becca Kufrin's heart.

After the date card arrived with her name on it, Schreiner decided that she just wasn't feeling it with Ben Flajnik, and left before even going on the date with him.

By her own admission, Morris wasn't ready to find love.

"You can't love somebody else until you truly love yourself, and I don't know if I truly love myself yet. I think it's better that I go," she told Higgins before exiting.

Neuschaefer made it all the way to the final three, but had to come clean to Fedotowsky that he wasn't totally over his ex-girlfriend, whom he visited before he was supposed to jet off to Tahiti for fantasy suites.
