Bachelor No. 1 Tim Lopez, along with being a newly minted reality TV contestant, is also a member of the band Plain White Ts! (Remember, “Hey There, Delilah?” That was them.) And while he may have girls throwing themselves at him left and right, they’re not exactly dating material.

We did meet one of Tim’s exes on the show, and it couldn’t have been more awkward. Actually, I’m not really sure if it’s fair to call her his ex. “We had our moments,” she said. And that was all.
