I would like to believe this is true. Maybe he doesn't see himself with any of these chicks, he told the producers and so they decided to go this route. Aside from him being an idiot, it's the only thing that makes sense.
He seems to be on quite the press/publicity junket throughout this. I think he's on board with whatever is good for ratings and keeps his 15 minutes going. Having a disastrous, heartbreaking rejection that all of us can see coming at the hands of a vapid jerk, plus the fallout from that will extend his time in the spotlight that much longer. Maybe he can even parlay that into a second Bachelor stint ala Brad if he doesn't get enough play in the reality show celebrity aftermarket. And wouldn't that be just nifty.
I would guess there is zero chance they would bring Mr. Personality back for another season for any reason. In fact, I am guessing someone's ### at ABC is on the short list to be fired after the abomination this season. This guy sucks.
If by eliminate you mean mouth-smoosh, then yes I agree. But her humongo chompers would make me a eunuch.
This is a point my wife and I were agreeing on last night. The whole talk on the pyramid scene was a clinical exercise in passive-aggressive "I don't know if I can go on unless you commit to me" antics that got the wine guy begging for the chance to go on a home visit date. As they were walking up the last set of steps I half expected her to say "let's skip the view, I've already got what I wanted on this date."My girl likened the Ben/Courtney thing to Ben regressing back to his high school days when he would never have a shot at a chick like her, so he's willing to grasp at anything to let her back in. Even after she tells him, "I'm losing that spark, etc." (red flag, Ben?), he comes back and says something like, "I really respect her for being honest, etc." She is playing him perfectly. What a chump.I really REALLY now hope that Courtney wins the whole sha-bang-a-bang: 1) She makes the show much more interesting with her craziness, one-liners, and all out "in it to win it" starategies. The rest of the girls are pretty damn boring. 2) This Ben dude is such a freakin' tool, he deserves to get stuck with an evil soul-sucker like her. 3) These other chicks can do much better than this guy.I'm full on the Courtney express, baby! WHOO-WHOO! :trainwreck:

We want what we can't have. Courtney flipped the script and acted like Ben was chasing her. Of course he's an idiot and it worked.You mean if Chantal were skinny and Kacie had breasts?I like Kacie B. cuz she looks like Chantal O.
Yeah. I miss that chubby girl.You mean if Chantal were skinny and Kacie had breasts?I like Kacie B. cuz she looks like Chantal O.
I don't see it. The boobs, I mean.I like Kacie B. cuz she looks like Chantal O.
Great googly moogly.Can we just admit the Courtney is the best contestant this show has ever seen? She's making Bentley look like an amateur.
Bentley was an amateur. This chick is a pro-model/wannabe actress (see commercial above). Even given that she comes off as fake. Him buying it is just as implausible. They've pretty much come full circle from reality t.v. to scripted, staged show here. In that way, she's possibly the worst contestant I've seen on the show - I don't buy anything she's doing as anything but acting.
Not seeing the problem here. She's playing the other girls like a fiddle, and has Ben completely duped. That's winning to me.'Gr00vus said:
I haven't watched the new episode yet. It's the survival of the fittest. Like Richard Hatch with the alliance, I take it this girl has figured out how to outwit and outplay them again this week?
Like I and others have said previously, Ben would have to be monumentally stupid to be truly taken in at this point - I think not, I think he's playing along as well. At the point you remove the premise that these are actual people working on genuine emotions/desires rather than actors acting a role it becomes about as interesting as a daytime soap opera. That's roughly the level they're at right now. No thankee.
This isn't Survivor, or at least it's not supposed to be.
Ben seems kinda slow at times. I think its more likely that not he's a little lost this season.

It's much more entertaining this way? I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. Granted, these shows need a villain but there also has to be some degree of earnestness here to really make it work. She may not give a rat's ### about him, but she at least needs to make me think that she does. Otherwise, as Groovus said, it's little more than a daytime soap.We all know that the chances of any relationship from this show working out IRL are slim but don't you think it changes the fabric of the show when you dispense with the charade that this is ultimately supposed to be about some doofus marrying a chick?
If they all seemed like they were acting, yes, it would be bad TV. But every season you get girls bawling in the limo over a guy they spent 10 minutes with and you get over-the-top reactions like when Casey S. got booted last week. Maybe they're great actresses, but I believe a majority of them genuinely think they'll find love on a reality show and that is entertaining to me. I contrast that with The Apprentice which tries to make it seem like the contestants genuinely care, but fails terribly at it. In this case, the viewer becomes the butt of the joke and it's not good TV.
Groundbreaking TV, and I'm not kidding.Sorry for the delay. My thoughts on Episode 7 are now posted.
Only caught the last 30 minutes, but I will explore this.I will be pointing out that Courtney is related to Khloe Kardashian, though.
Oh sure. That particular genetic trait skips a generation on teh mailman's side of the family.
After she kills her parents.
That was definitely embarrassing. Highligted how young and immature she is.
Totally. And my sources say that she was sent to bed with no dinner after her parents heard her dropping F bombs in the limo.
lolwas thinking the same thing. The no-drinking, no-nookie before wedding shtick didn't help matters.
It's funny 'cause it's true. But then he has that whole outpouring for Courtney during their "vows". This thing is so over.
Crazy talk! When else was she going to get a chance to show her prospective husband how she can put one leg straight up in the air? The possibilities boggle the mind.
Love me some Kacie.Its pretty funny how quick my wife and her friends have turned on Ben. They went from actively rooting for him to hoping he drops all the cute/sweet girls so he can get his heart torn out by Courtney. Chicks rule.
Too much baton twirling practice. No time for showering.
Haven't gotten to the Courtney part yet.
