Looking Back
Onscreen Romances That Didn’t Make It To The After Show (Together)
What were they thinking? Maybe they did it for the money, the fame, or for true love, but why would anyone submit themselves, let alone their relationship, to the unforgiving pressures of reality television? Just in time for Valentine's Day, let's reflect on some of the more public failed showmances. From the Newlyweds “Chicken of the Sea” incident to Bachelor Pad drama, Snakkle looks back on some ill-fated love affairs, reality TV show matches (or mismatches) and marriages that didn’t survive real life.

Jillian Harris & Ed Swiderski in 2010
After being eliminated by Jason Mesnick in Season 13 of The Bachelor, Season 5 of The Bachelorette (which aired in 2009) would be Jillian Harris’ year. You’d think with ABC’s good track record of selecting eligible-future-husbands, one of them would be The One. Jillian gave her ‘final rose’ to Ed Swiderski, a technology consultant from Michigan, but their relationship ended in July 2010. What, you mean you can’t find true love on a reality TV dating game?
