Maurissa didn’t receive much screen time on her original season of The Bachelor. The 25-year-old bachelorette first appeared in Peter Weber’s season. But Peter eliminated Maurissa on the first night.

Meanwhile, Riley made more of a splash on Tayshia Adams and Clare Crawley’s season of The Bachelorette. Riley slowly developed a solid relationship with Tayshia, and he became a fan-favorite. However, it wasn’t meant to be. Tayshia eliminated Riley ahead of Hometowns, noting that she didn’t want to string her contestant along.
