Viewers of The Bachelor franchise tend to fall into two camps. While some people cringe at the idea of dating and getting engaged to someone they barely know in front of millions of viewers, others can't help but get caught up in the romantic fantasy of it all. It takes a certain personality to thrive on these shows, and some signs are better suited to this requirement than others.
To stand out during the audition process, you must have a strong, charismatic personality. Producers may be looking for someone with a flair for the dramatic who can dish out witty bits.
Of course, The Bachelor and its spinoffs should be centered around finding love, not Instagram followers. Every season, at least one cast member is accused of being absent "for legitimate reasons." True romantics do not have to bear these charges. But if you're planning to make it to the finals, it doesn't hurt to feel at home in the spotlight.
Not everyone is willing to rush in and propose—I'm looking at you, cautious Capricorns—so the ideal contestant needs a spontaneity. (The latest season, starring Joey Graziadei, was filmed for just eight weeks. He and fiancée Kelsey Anderson probably had no more than 72 hours together before deciding to get married.)
Here are three zodiac signs who did well on The Bachelor .
Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
The camera just loves Geminis. "They make great reality TV shows because they have endless curiosity and you can't predict what they're going to say next," said astrologer Erin River Sunday. They're witty, spontaneous, charming and certainly won't bore the audience.
When contestants audition, they often don't know who exactly is the Bachelor or Bachelorette. Geminis get along well with almost anyone, which makes their odds of getting a rose pretty high.

Leo (July 23-August 22)
Leo's energy governs the heart, making this sign a perfect fit for this series. "It takes quite a bit of time to impress them, but once they're smitten, they're ready to express their love with romantic gestures (and expect the same in return)," Sunday said. "They just love being in love."
Lions are fun to watch because they feel right at home in the spotlight. While they can stand out on a group date, they'll really shine on a one-on-one date.
Leos in Bachelor Nation: Zach Shallcross (July 31), Peter Weber (August 4), Blake Moynes (August 9), Susie Evans (August 19)
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Pisces is empathetic and compassionate and is one of the most romantic signs of the zodiac. If it wasn't love at first sight before, it was love at first sight when they stepped out of the limo that first night.
They are known for indulging in fantasy, and what could be dreamier than a candlelit dinner on a remote beach? "They're likely to fall hard and fast and be confused by the 'reality' of the situation," said Sunday, who called the sign "date show gold."
