During The Bachelor’s third episode, Lindzi Cox tells Ben Flajnik that she was dumped via text message by her last boyfriend. The nasty message, she revealed, said, “Welcome to Dumpsville, population YOU!” In case you’ve missed that episode, you can read that recap here.

Now, her ex-boyfriend, Eric Lenze, is coming out of the woodwork to discuss the douchey text. He revealed that he and Lindzi dated for most of 2010. After they broke things off, she went on to film the show.

Eric says that he’s disappointed that Lindzi used him to get to the finale on the show and he wants to set things straight. He revealed that it wasn’t actually he who sent the nasty text message, but his friends after they had already split up. Even worse, he said that he and Lindzi had sex just weeks after she got back from filming the final episode with Ben.

In a new interview with the National Enquirer, Eric said, “I dated Lindzi for almost a year. After several months of living together, I realized that she wasn’t the one for me. She’s a great girl but our relationship lacked passion.”

He went on to say that after they split up, he went to Arizona with some pals for a guys’ weekend. He said that Lindzi was still texting him even then. He said, “She wrote things like, ‘When you get back in town we need to work things out. I really miss you.’ After several drinks around the pool, I started reading the texts to my buddies and told them, ‘This girl won’t stop! Doesn’t she realize I sent her to Dumpsville?’”

He revealed that he went to the bar to get a drink and when he got back his friends told him about the “Dumpsville” text that they’d sent her. Afterward, Eric explained himself to Lindzi and they had a laugh.

In November, Eric ran into Lindzi at a college football game in Seattle. He said, “She told me that she had been on an adventure and it made her realize how much she missed me. After the game, we went back to my house and had sex. But a few days later, I realized I made a mistake. I told her that we make better friends than lovers.”

He added, “I assumed that, since she had sex with me, Ben didn’t end up picking her, which I believe is a good thing. After watching the show and reading the internet blogs, I think Ben is a dork. Lindzi is a great girl and deserves someone better than Ben.”

He sounds like a complete douche, doesn’t he? At least he’s right about Ben being a dork!

Stay tuned for our live recap of the show tonight — as it airs!

Tonight’s the night when The Bachelor star Ben Flajnik chooses the woman with whom he proposes! Season sixteen draws to a close tonight when Ben chooses between Courtney Robertson and Lindzi Cox.

All season long, Courtney has become known for being manipulative and nasty, while her counterpart Lindzi has been the nice, down-home girl next door. If you’ve seen the show’s Women Tell All special, then you’ve seen Courtney’s apologetic side. Like a lot of you, we didn’t buy her attempt at being sincere. It seemed very contrived and just a poor attempt at trying to win over the people who have grown to dislike her over the entire course of the season.

Reality Steve has basically spoiled the entire season of the show, cluing us all in to the fact that Ben chooses Courtney in the end. Rumor has it that Ben and Courtney got engaged and then broke things off. Afterward, they got engaged again, but not before it was rumored that Ben had cheated on Courtney.

Tonight is the season finale, so stay tuned for our recap of the show — when it airs. For now, check out this teaser video, aptly titled Good Vs. Courtney.

Are you looking forward to the season finale tonight?

Spoiler Alert!

Now that the competition on The Bachelor has been narrowed down to the top two, Courtney Robertson and Lindzi Cox, Ben Flajnik will have the opportunity to propose to only one woman on next week’s finale. We’ve already heard the countless rumors that Ben chooses Courtney — but we’ve got some scoop that you haven’t heard!

Snitches have revealed that Ben did propose to Courtney, but that they broke up in mid-February. Since, they have gotten back together and he has even presented her with a new ring.

On the March 3rd taping of After The Final Rose, Courtney was sans engagement ring. In addition, she ignored the boos coming from the audience — because she’s been such a nasty person during the show. She was said to be all teary-eyed about her “love” for Ben. When asked if she could ever “trust him fully”, she said, “Not completely.”

Courtney said that Ben dumped her after proposing in November, but has since reconciled with her. During the show, Courtney said that she felt abandoned after getting dumped by Ben around February 7th. She said, “I had bad days where I stayed in bed and cried.”

Later on, she was joined by Ben, who said, “In the last couple weeks we’ve been able to talk.”

It was also revealed that Courtney visited the bridal shop earlier this month as a ploy. Ben said, “Once she saw the photos she wanted to…shift focus. What better way than to go shopping for wedding dresses.”

He proposed to her again and also presented her with another engagement ring. He told her, “I’m going to be there for you forever.”

The show airs on ABC, March 12, 2012 right after the season finale. Will you be watching?

Courtney Robertson was lambasted as she appeared on the Women Tell All special regarding her time spent pursuing Ben Flajnik on The Bachelor. It was no secret that she was playing dirty in order to win the show. During the WTA special, she was called out for all of her shenanigans. In case you’ve missed the show, you can read the official recap here.

She apologized in tears for what she’s said and done on the show…..but did you buy it?!? Some of the other ladies on the show have given their reactions to her nasty behavior.

Kacie Boguskie said, “She will definitely not be a bridesmaid at my wedding. Can you imagine that toast? Not a flower girl. Courtney won’t even be invited to my wedding…I hope she was being completely genuine in all that she said, but…I have a hard time believing that somebody could act that way for so long without some sort of motive and not be a mean-spirited person.”

Casey Shteamer said, “I was happy to see her. After hearing what everyone had to say, it seems the girls’ feelings about Courtney have gotten a lot worse than they were in the house. Watching her on TV…riled them all up. They think she only has a mean side because most didn’t get to know her. That’s not true. She is a great friend and funny.”

Nicki Sterling revealed, “I just don’t buy it. If they’re together, I don’t see it lasting. Just watching the show and seeing her actions and comments would be enough to break them up. I don’t really buy anything about her including the apologies or the tears. I think she showed up tonight because she looks bad to the viewers, to us and to Ben.”

Blakely Shea said, “She said sorry. Whether she meant it or not is the question. I want to believe her. However it is really hard to backtrack when you’ve gone so far and dug a hole so deep. I would be willing to open the door to the opportunity to see if we were compatible as friends. I would potentially like to see a friendship with her so that’s why I cared enough to want an explanation and an apology.”

Lastly, Ben Flajnik offered, “When I walked out there, I could tell something had riled the girls up. She said some mean things and that’s not cool, but she is actually a sweet girl. Nobody gets to see that because of editing and stuff, which is sad. Unfortunately, I don’t think this will be something that gets resolved. I don’t see a world where all of these girls hang out together and get along. Too much has happened and too many feelings were hurt.”

My opinion on the matter is that I totally agree with Nicki. It seems that her apology was fake and that she was only there because no one likes her. She has a nasty attitude and that’s all there is to it.

What do you think?

The Bachelor star Ben Flajnik appears on the latest cover of Reality Weekly with the quote that he picked the wrong woman! Are you surprised at all?!?

Reality Steve has called the show’s ending way before it has even begun, stating that model Courtney Robertson would walk away as the winner. As it currently stands, she is one of the final two, along with Lindzi Cox.

Courtney appeared on the Women Tell All special and apologized to all of the women for her rude and nasty behavior. Her apologies didn’t seem genuine at all and it just appeared to us that they were trying to make her look good to America because she’s who Ben chooses in the end.

According to the tabloid, Ben has been dumped already and is claiming that he picked the wrong woman. It’s like Captain Obvious is crapping all over this issue of the publication. Anyone who has been watching the show could tell you that he would pick the narcissistic model — as opposed to someone who had true feelings for him. We think that in reality, Ben probably felt that he wouldn’t land a model, so he might as well play it up for the cameras. Truthfully, he’s not that attractive, so we’re curious about all of the attraction going on – on the show.

So had Ben been dumped? Why were they doing so much Courtney damage control on the special this Monday? What do you think?

After Ben Flajnik woos either Courtney Robertson or Lindzi Cox in the finale for The Bachelor (spoiler alert: it’s Courtney), we’ve heard that Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow might be interested in searching for love on the reality show.

The rumor mill heated up after the show’s host, Chris Harrison told Access Hollywood that he discussed the idea with Tim.

Chris said, “I’ve actually met Tim Tebow. I met him about becoming our next Bachelor. I think he’d be a great Bachelor. He did say yes, but he would never do it. He has a little job called quarterback for at least another year.”

Tim addressed the rumors on his official Twitter page, saying, “Haha rumors can be crazy! Even though I’ve watched the show before, I’m definitely not gonna be on The Bachelor.”

Are you sad that Tim won’t be doing the show? Did you want to see virginal quarterback dating twenty-five women at once? How do you think he would do if he were to appear on the show?

Who do you think should be the next Bachelor? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Tonight, we won’t see an all new episode of The Bachelor with Ben Flajnik and his final two women, Courtney Robertson and Lindzi Cox. Instead, we are being treated to the network’s Women Tell All special!

Normally, the two finalists wouldn’t be available for the taping of this particular show. Somehow, the show managed to get Courtney to attend. We’re guessing that’s because she was the drama queen of this season.

Here’s who’s showing up for tonight’s show: Brittney (the one who brought her grandmother to meet Ben), Erika, Elyse, Jenna (emotional blogger chick), Rachel, Kacie B., Jamie, Jennifer, Amber T., Blakely, Emily, Nicki, Casey S. and Jaclyn. Lindzi isn’t going to be on the show at all.

Courtney is under fire tonight for all of her antics during the season. She got called out for calling Blakely a stripper and defended herself and apologized for her behavior.

Emily talks to Courtney about their fight on the show, and Courtney admitted that she didn’t handle Emily’s apology in the right way.

It seems that tonight’s show is all going to be about Courtney bashing. The ladies feel that Courtney basically would’ve done anything to get the final rose, no matter who the Bachelor was.

Stay tuned for our official recap as the show airs!

READ THE FULL RECAP HERE!

After Ben Flajnik proposes to Courtney Robertson on the season finale of The Bachelor, we’ll be left wondering who’s going to be looking for love on the show next. Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow perhaps?!? Stranger things have happened, right?

The show’s host, Chris Harrison recently spoke about the rumors that Tim may join the show. And why not? He’s been rumored to be dating the likes of Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry and most recently Taylor Swift.

Chris revealed that he has already met with Tim to discuss the possibility of looking for romance on the popular reality show. He said, “I’ve actually met Tim Tebow. I met him about becoming our next Bachelor. I think he’d be a great Bachelor.”

The interviewer asked if Tim was receptive to the idea, to which he said, “Well, they always say yes, but it never happens. He’s a really good guy.”

So did he actually say that he would do the show? Chris revealed, “He did say yes, but he would never do it. He has a little job called quarterback at least for another year.”

Would you want to see Tim Tebow looking for love on an upcoming season of The Bachelor? If not, then who would you like to see on the show? Hit the comments with your thoughts!

Tonight is the long-awaited Women Tell All special from all of the ladies that competed on The Bachelor for Ben Flajnik’s heart. On the show, all of the ladies confront Courtney Robertson, who has been a thorn in the side of everyone since the show began. You can’t tell us that she was made to look so mean from editing, right?

What I don’t understand is why they air this prior to the show’s finale? Why not wait until he picks a girl and gets down on one knee? Reality Steve has previously reported that Ben does, in fact, propose to Courtney, but we’ve also heard that they have already called off their engagement. Not shocking, I know.

On tonight’s show, Blakely Shea confronts Courtney about her stripper comments. Blakely said, “Courtney, I just wish you’d retract the things you said about me. You said I was a stripper on national television and it hurt my feelings.”

Courtney stare wanders off in another direction, which prompts Blakely to get her attention. She said, “Courtney, I’m trying to be nice to you and you’re not even looking at me. I wanted you to say, ‘Blakely, I really take that back…and say, I’m sorry.’”

Courtney holds back the tears and says, “I’m sorry. I take it all back.”

WATCH:

Are they really trying to make Courtney look like a good person this far in the game?!? When you’re nasty to people 99 percent of the time and then try to show that you’re human one percent, it’s just not going to work.

Stay tuned, we’ll be recapping the Women Tell All special tonight as it airs!

On Wednesday, The Bachelor finalist Courtney Robertson was photographed in Beverly Hills trying on wedding dresses. This hasn’t really shocked anyone considering that she’s already been rumored to have won the show and is said to be engaged to the show’s star, Ben Flajnik.

Now, the newly ousted contestant, Nicki Sterling, has something to say about the bold display from the model. She says that she is shocked by the pictures and the idea that Courtney will win Ben’s heart.

In a new interview, she said, “I’d have to chew on that for a little while. I don’t even know. I’m kind of shocked right now. I’m sorry, wow, my mouth is open right now.”

Was that a publicity stunt by Courtney — or perhaps a photo shoot? Either way, it’s obviously sticking the knife in that much further for Nicki, who was seemingly very interested in winning Ben’s heart.

As far as a publicity stunt, Nicki said, “I would hope and pray that is not the case. There are no words to describe how horrible that would be. I mean, somebody’s heart is on the line. And not just somebody’s, but it’s Ben who I care deeply about. I cannot believe that anyone – even as manipulative as Courtney – would take it that far. I would hope not.”

What do you think?

After the hometown dates on The Bachelor, Ben Flajnik eliminated Kacie Boguskie. Ben went to Kacie’s hometown of Clarksville, Tennessee and learned that her parents were religious and her father doesn’t drink. He didn’t feel as if he got their approval, so he sent her home. If you’ve missed that episode, read the recap here.

On Monday’s episode of the show, Kacie went to Switzerland to ask Ben what actually happened that led to his elimination of her from the previous week. She also warned Ben about how Courtney Robertson really is, prompting him to fake contemplation about his future with her.

Kacie appeared on today’s episode of the Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about the show. She told Ellen that Ben really did break her heart. Ellen asks her if she thinks Courtney is really that manipulative and she says yes. Editing only goes so far and the producers can’t edit the actual words that came out of her mouth.

She said that she was shocked to learn that Ben and Courtney went skinny-dipping in Puerto Rico and her “jaw dropped” when she found that out.

Ellen asked Kacie if Ben picks Courtney and she said that she thinks he does. Afterward, they played a clip from the upcoming Women Tell All special, in which all of the women gang up on Courtney. Casey S. tried to defend Courtney, claiming that she wasn’t the only one bad-mouthing the other ladies. But that was debunked when one of the ladies asks why they are all friends except for Courtney.

Drama, drama, drama! Will you be watching the Women Tell All special?

It’s almost as if Us Weekly just figured out how The Bachelor works. Apparently, the tabloid had no idea that the show’s star gets to hook up with three girls in one weekend. Ben Flajnik took the remaining three ladies, Courtney Robertson, Nicki Sterling and Lindzi Cox, to Switzerland for Monday’s show and invited all three back to their respective Fantasy Suites courtesy of the show’s host, Chris Harrison.

Now, Us Weekly claims that Ben was hooking up with the ladies. Duh. Of course he was, it’s reality television. Now for the shocker, they’re claiming that Ben was cheating! Is it really cheating if the other girls know that he’s doing the nasty with the other two?

I’d be more miffed if I was Nicki, considering how he hooked up with her and then subsequently ditched her afterward. The tabloid has exclusive photos of Ben’s cheating spree. It also reports that Ben proposed to Courtney, but now he’s embarrassed by her. Who wouldn’t be? She’s been quite the evil villain this season. After watching the show, he has to feel like a dolt.

The tabloid also reports that Courtney is in tears during the filming of the Women Tell All show. Are you going to watch? What secrets will be revealed when that airs? Hopefully someone will call him out for looking like the Geico Caveman and being so blinded by the fact that he landed a model that he was too dumb to realize how badly she was playing him.

Last night’s episode of The Bachelor was all about the overnight fantasy dates in Switzerland. Ben Flajnik and his remaining ladies, Courtney Robertson, Nicki Sterling and Lindzi Cox all had their dates and it was time for Ben to decide who was going to be in the final two.

Even though Kacie Boguskie came back to the show to warn Ben about Courtney, it didn’t seem to matter to him. He wanted to make it look as if he had a lot to think about, but in truth, he still wanted to have Courtney in the final two.

When it came time for the rose ceremony, Ben gave the first rose to Lindzi. After an insanely long pause, Ben gave the final rose to Courtney. That left Nicki feeling sad that she fell in love with this twit.

After all of that talk about how he was feeling his connection with Nicki and he sends her home. She was definitely more genuine on the show than Courtney, who is fake, fake, fake. Still, one had to go as three became two. Who were you pulling for?

Check out the photos from Nicki’s exit on the show:

Did Ben make the right choice? Sound off in the comments and let us know your thoughts!

Courtney Robertson gets the last date of the show with Ben Flajnik on last night’s episode of The Bachelor.

Ben made a big fuss on their date about how worried he was about how Courtney treated the other ladies on the show. For their date, they hopped on a secluded train for a tour of the Alps and made their way to Wengen. She tells him that she feels badly about how she treated the other women and then she starts to cry. Are those crocodile tears?

Afterward, they end up in a meadow for a picnic with some cows. She fails at cow calling or yelling “Hey cow!” as loudly as she can to get their attention. Ben decides that this is the opportune moment to call her out for how she treated the other women. She said that she has said some things that she’s not proud of and if she could do it all over again, she would do some things differently. He said that he doesn’t want to talk about that right now because he doesn’t want to ruin the day.

Later at dinner, Courtney brings it up again, saying that the experience brought out the worst in her at times and she’s not proud of it. He agrees with her that there’s been more good than bad. He says that he feels that they are good in moving forward. Afterward, he offers her the Pimp Master special card for the overnight date in the fantasy suite, courtesy of host Chris Harrison. She accepts because obviously you can’t win a dating show without banging the guy who’s making all of the decisions, right?

The second date with Ben Flajnik on The Bachelor last night went to Lindzi Cox. In case you’ve missed the show, you can read the full episode recap here.

Ben just wants to prove that he’s an adventurous guy, so he takes her on a cliff that is 300 feet above a gorge. They go rappelling down the side of the mountain into the gorge itself. I’m sure that was a crazy adrenaline rush for both of them. They both said that they were terrified and got over their fears together. Bonding my butt!

In his confessional, Ben admits his love for Lindzi. Awww. Back to the gorge…At its bottom, there is an outdoor jacuzzi where they kiss.

At dinner, they discuss her previous relationship and how she’s been more able to open up to him. She tells him that she wants to see this whole experience end with a proposal. She says that she’s been nothing but vulnerable with him and that she’s falling in love with him.

After all of the relationship and vulnerability chatter, he offers up the fantasy suite date card (from the pimpmaster Chris). She says that she’s excited to spend the night with him. They go directly from the patio outside to the bed. Of course this is another tricked out room, so you know Ben’s getting some. They didn’t waste any time, either.

On last night’s episode of The Bachelor, Ben Flajnik took Nicki Sterling on the first date of the show. In case you’ve missed the episode, you can read the full recap here.

They first board a helicopter to take them on their date and the view looks pretty awesome. They end up on the top of a mountain for a nice picnic. She tells him that she’s been realizing more and more that she is in love with him. Afterward, Ben asks the pilot if the chopper can land on a small spot even higher up.

Later, they go a log cabin where dinner is already waiting for them. He asks her what she thinks her daily life would be like with him. She says that she can see herself living and working in San Francisco with him. She asks then how many kids he wants, to which he replies four. He says that he comes from a small family, so he and his sister both want larger families. Nicki tells him that she wants two children. She goes on and on about how she’s been putting herself out there.

Putting herself out there leads to Ben offering up the date card for the overnight date at the fantasy suite. It’s a card from the host, Chris Harrison. Does anyone else find that strange? Along with the card is a key to the room should she wish to forgo her individual accommodations. She accepts and they seal the deal with a kiss.

Obviously Ben has no game because this room is tricked out so much that even Mr. Bean could probably get laid here. They share some kisses in the jacuzzi as the camera fades out.

Ben Flajnik thought he had The Bachelor all sewn up with all of the overnight dates in the respective fantasy suites with the three remaining ladies when drama shows up to kick him in the teeth. In case you’ve missed the show last night, you can read the full recap here.

Kacie Boguskie returned to the show for two reasons. Firstly, she wanted to know exactly what happened between them when she was eliminated because, like us, she was in total shock. She said, “I’ve come here because I feel like when I left I was in such shock I didn’t know what to say. I left and I couldn’t even think. Even at home I couldn’t rationalize it. You’ve had your heart broken before and I’m sure you wanted answers. I wanted to see if you could tell me what happened. Before the rose ceremony I was confident in what we had and I didn’t see that coming at all.”

He replied, “For me I kind of felt like we’re worlds apart – from two wonderful families that are just so different. I don’t think I could’ve given you everything you need. You didn’t do anything wrong, it’s just that, did I see you in the end? No. The last thing I want to do is drag it out.”

She says that in the end, it would’ve been her decision on whether or not to live together before getting married, and not that of her parents. They’re old-fashioned, but she does what she wants.

Afterward, Kacie tells Ben, “I feel like if you were to choose Courtney you would get your heart broken. I’ve watched her for a while and it seems like she’s in it to win it. She’s said stuff like, ‘If it’s not Ben, there’s other fish in the sea.’”

As we’ve already told you, The Bachelor’s Courtney Robertson didn’t go on the show to make friends. We also don’t feel that she was on the show to find love with Ben Flajnik, either. It seems as if she’s willing to do whatever it takes to win the show, even play dirty.

On this week’s episode of the show, she staged a mock wedding, using lines from Sex & The City to woo Ben. In case you’ve missed that episode, you can read the recap here.

A source revealed that Courtney did her vows with Ben because she felt that the other competitors didn’t stand a chance in winning. She even had names for Lindzi Cox, Nicki Sterling and Kacie Boguskie (prior to her elimination). A source said, “Courtney told her family she had it all wrapped up. She didn’t see any competition from, in her words, Horsey, Fatty and the Kid”.

According to the tabloid’s report, Courtney admitted during casting that she “doesn’t go for guys like Ben” and that she willed herself to find him attractive.

The spy said, “If you tell yourself for long enough that you like someone, you will like them.”

Host Chris Harrison said, “Love is a game, and this is the way Courtney plays.”

Do you think she’s being dirty in trying to win him over?

Anyone with two eyes who’s been watching this season of The Bachelor can tell that Courtney Robertson really has her sights set on winning the show. Winning, of course — and not necessarily having Ben Flajnik’s best interests in mind. Is she just in the show to win the competition and not love? Surely a model wouldn’t REALLY go for a guy who looks like the Geico caveman, would she? Only on TV!

We’ve been covering this season of the show and you can tell that she’s totally playing mind games with this poor schmuck. She wants to win and she doesn’t care how she does that.

In the latest issue of Us Weekly, the tabloid claims that Courtney admits to never finding Ben attractive. Even worse, she has nicknamed some of the other girls “fatty” and “horsey”. The tabloid reveals that she used “sleazy tactics” that blinded Ben to her true self.

Let’s hope that Ben is using his head after being allowed to watch the current episodes of the show. According to Reality Steve, Ben and Courtney end up together. Even if that’s true, it doesn’t mean that they’re going to stay together. Recent rumors suggested that Ben and his show fiancee had already broken things off and went their separate ways.

Courtney Robertson’s ex-boyfriend Cavan Clark says that she’s not mean in real life like she portrays on The Bachelor. Is she the victim of editing? Somehow we doubt that!

Courtney has become known on the show for being mean to the other ladies and taunting them in order to win the competition. So why would we think that she’s not an evil maneating vixen in real life?

In a recent interview, Cavan said, “Unlike what you see on the show, she’s actually a nice girl. I still keep in touch with Courtney and her family.”

He went on to reveal that he wasn’t upset that Courtney broke things off to try winning Ben Flajnik’s heart on the show. He said, “We dated, and after it ended she went on The Bachelor. Life happens, people fall in love and people break up.”

Cavan added that Courtney is definitely in it to win it, as previously evidenced by her “winning” attitude. He added, “She’s obviously doing everything she can to win, seeing that it is a reality dating competition.”

Isn’t this the same guy that was rumored to be considering releasing a sex tape featuring Courtney? We’re suspicious. What about you?

The Bachelor star Ben Flajnik made a tough decision last night in sending Kacie Boguskie home after all of the hometown dates. Now, he’s talking about the experiences from last night’s episode of the show. In case you’ve missed the show, you can read the full recap here.

Lindzi Cox – Ocala, Florida

He said, “Getting to see Lindzi in her element was incredible. She was at ease in a way I hadn’t seen since the first time I met her. Never in my life did I think I was going to visit a potential ‘family-in-law” in the South. It was never a thought being a California kid.”

He revealed that her parents are “wonderful” and “caring” who have their daughter’s best interests in mind. He said that he began to fall hard for her as soon as he left.

Kacie Boguskie – Clarksville, Tennessee

Ben said that everything was seemingly going well, until the topic turned to Kacie’s father. He didn’t feel as if her parents would approve of him, due to their more traditional values. He said, “The evening was difficult for me. Kacie’s family was really nice and welcoming, but every time I had a conversation with one of her family members, I felt like I was disappointing them.”

He said that her parents’ disapproval was disheartening and got in the way of his feelings growing stronger for her.

Nicki Sterling – Fort Worth, Texas

Ben revealed that he was developing strong feelings for the “dark horse” of the competition. He didn’t expect her to be “so awesome and understanding of everything.”

He revealed that every time they were together, he would find himself opening up more and more. He was nervous about meeting her family because he really wanted it to go well. Her parents are no longer married, but they are still very mature with how they handle their family dynamic. He said, “I really liked the fact that her parents let her be her own woman and are respectful of her decisions. And they were really accepting of me and this whole crazy experience, which is a plus.”

Courtney Robertson – Scottsdale, Arizona

Ben revealed that he was nervous to meet Courtney’s family because he “had real feelings for this woman”. He also said that he had concerns about her because of the warnings he received from the other ladies, but the trip away from everyone else made him feel “like her behavior was circumstantial.”

He said that meeting her family was a very welcoming experience to him. He felt their planned date was natural and he gave her props because he felt that she was bold to assume that he would go along with the mock wedding. He liked how much she poured her heart out to him.

Rose Ceremony Elimination

On the topic of sending Kacie home, he said, “My decision to send Kacie home wasn’t an easy one. I still had feelings for her, but I did make a promise to her father that if I didn’t see it going much further that I would end it sooner than later to not hurt her as much.”

He added, “The last thing I wanted to do was hurt Kacie, but ultimately it was the right decision, as hard as it was.”

What did you think of the show? Do you think Ben made the right decision in sending Kacie home?

Last week it was rumored that The Bachelor’s frontrunner Courtney Robertson has a sex tape that was filmed with her former boyfriend, Cavan Clark. Since, she’s said to be worried that he is going to release the footage of the tape to the public. An insider said, “It’s pretty dirty. There are photos too. But it isn’t Cavan’s style to release them.”

Another insider revealed, “She’s worried about her ex exposing secrets about her.”

She ditched Cavan so that she could appear on The Bachelor…I wonder if Ben Flajnik knows about any of this?

Of course if the show doesn’t work out, she can always release her sex tape with Vivid Entertainment. Just ask head honcho Steven Hirsch, who says that her sex tape is worth a million bucks.

He said, “There is no doubt that Courtney is the hottest girl on the show. We would definitely like to buy an existing tape, or if she prefers, produce one with her. This tape could definitely be worth as much as $1 million.”

Courtney has yet to confirm whether or not the tape exists, but sources say that she only fooled around for the camera, but there is no actual “sex tape”.

Let’s hope there isn’t a tape, that is, if she has any self respect.

On tonight’s episode of The Bachelor, Ben Flajnik takes a trip to the remaining ladies’ hometowns in order to meet their families. He’s got Courtney, Nicki, Kacie B. and Lindzi left on the show, after eliminating Emily and Rachel last week. If you’ve missed last week’s show, you can read our full recap here.

Tonight’s episode promises to be a saucy one! We’ve already heard the rumors that he eliminates Kacie B. from the competition, so that’s really going to suck. At least afterward, if the rumors are true, we’ll get to hear exactly what happened with the other girls from Kacie herself. Perhaps she’ll talk about how nasty Courtney really is? Only time will tell.
