The Most Outrageous Jobs in ‘Bachelor’ and ‘Bachelorette’ History — *The Bachelor* and *The Bachelorette* are quite literally the most lovably bizarre shows on television, mostly thanks to the contestants—bless their whacky hearts! It goes without saying that in order to appear on this beloved franchise you have to (a) pass a grueling background check and (b) be able to take time off work. Which is easy when your job is quite literally being a professional “chicken enthusiast.” Or in one very real and troubling case, a “magician.” While both those jobs are...um...unusual, they’re not even the weirdest “professions” to be featured in cast bios from *The Bachelor* and *The Bachelorette*. Check out the absolutely wildest job descriptions to grace the annals of this show’s alarming history, including the woman who described herself as a professional sloth (same), the dude who listed his job simply as “hipster,” and finally, my personal lord and savior Evan Bass, the Erectile Dysfunction Specialist.
