Here’s how many followers the women on Peter’s season gained during their time on the Bachelor.

We all like to joke about contestants going on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette for the Instagram followers. A career as an influencer isn’t the worst consolation prize if you don’t win the heart of the eligible Bach or Bach-ette.

But how many followers can you really pick up from an appearance on the show? And how long do you have to make it to really, uh, cash in? We made note of how many followers the women started the season with, and now we’re checking in to see how many we count after the final rose.

Let’s dive in.
