Melissa Rycroft Bio: Melissa Rycroft is a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader who became famous as the jilted "winner" of the spring 2009 season of The Bachelor, after nationally-acknowledged jackass Jason Mesnick chose her on the season finale and then dumped her on the reunion show.

Melissa was a last-minute Season 8 replacement for Nancy O'Dell, who injured her knee in rehearsals.
