Leah Block took a while to make an impression on Ben Higgins' season of The Bachelor, but she certainly went out with a bang.

Leah, a 25-year-old event coordinator from Denver, CO, is best remembered for stirring up trouble on The Bachelor when she threw Lauren Bushnell under the bus for being fake and two-faced, which viewers knew at the time was not true.
Instead of taking Leah's word for it, Ben dumped her because she was more focused on other women than on her relationship with the Bachelor. (It also didn't help Ben was already smitten with Lauren, his now-fiancee].
Leah will be appearing on the third season of Bachelor in Paradise this summer, so will history repeat itself or will she take a different approach to dating and come across sweet and confident?
Below is a list of 9 facts Reality TV World has compiled about the bachelorette:
