Ben Flajnik's Bachelor Blog Episode 5

2012-01-31T10:23:00.000-08:00

In his NEW Bachelor blog for People Magazine, Ben Flajnik talks about skinny dipping with Courtney and his dates in Puerto Rico.

On skinny dipping with Courtney Robertson: "What I will say (about skinny dipping) is that I try to focus on all these relationships singularly. It's odd to date more than one woman and in order to do so, you have to try to treat each one individually. If I were in Puerto Rico with a beautiful woman I was dating and she wanted to skinny dip, I would be a fool to decline. I treated this situation the same way. I will admit that at the time I wasn't thinking of the other women and how it would make them feel, and I'm sorry for that, but I can't blame Courtney for going out of her way to spend more time with me – that's why we are all here."

Bachelor Spoiler Alert!

According to The Bachelor preview, it seems something happens to Casey S. to make her leave the show. So what happens to Casey Shteamer? According to Reality Steve, it seems that Casey S might have an ex-boyfriend who wants her back. The boyfriend's name is Michael Patak, CEO ofTopStepTrader in Chicago. Reality Steve wrote on his blog this week: "Would’ve been nice if Casey would’ve filled Ben in on Michael Patak, the guy that plenty of people told me she was seeing before she left for the show and it was well known. Of course, I had her other friends who said they were ‘on a break.’ Uh huh. How much you wanna bet Casey and Michael are back together either now or in the very near future? I’m sorry, but if someone goes on this show while ‘on a break,’ then when they get back from filming they’re back together with that person, they were never broken up."

Seems like another Bachelorette has a Bachelor secret! Producers must love this!

Chris Harrison blogs: "Though we’ve known sweet, Southern single mom Emily Maynard would be the next Bachelorette for a week, host Chris Harrison, who officially announced it on Good Morning America this morning, assures us it was only a done deal today. The producers have long been courting Maynard, he says. “We approached her. She was reluctant, and needed a lot of time to think about it, obviously, because there’s somebody else involved in her life, Ricki, her daughter. It was a huge decision. It wasn’t our usual approach to finding the Bachelorette,” he says. “We took it very slow. We had a lot of interviews. She had a lot of reservations, a lot of them centered around her daughter and how we’ll handle that — logistically, too, is she gonna come along? All that’s being worked out. But ultimately, she, like Ben [Flajnik] and even Brad [Womack], ironically enough, knows that she can trust us.." Read Chris Harrison's full Bachelor blog here!

Another Bachelor lawsuit. Last month, we heard that Bachelor Blogger, Reality Steve, was hit with a lawsuit by ABC.

Now, former Bachelor contestant, Jesse Csincsak, is suing ABC. According to CupidsPulse.com, Csincsak said "“Once you’re on the show, they own you....Even when your contract is up, they still interfere in your life and prevent you from promoting other brands and making money....“I had planned to file my own lawsuit last month but after discussions with numerous people and former Bachelor contestants, we realized that this issue is much bigger than me.” According to the article, former Bachelor, Bob Guiney, also won a case against Bachelor producers when he broke his contract by promoting his CD and music video.

"Shawntel and I had chatted a few times in between seasons and I thought she was an interesting, beautiful woman and she was right to assume that there was a connection. There was, but the timing was wrong. So, you can imagine how surprised I was when she showed up to the cocktail party unannounced. I knew if I kept Shawntel around I would lose all the credibility I had built with these women and it wouldn't be easy to dig myself out of that hole.

"Ben is back in San Francisco, and his first order of business is to meet up with his sister Julia for ice tea and a recap of the "ladies" he's found most memorable so far: Lindzi, Kacie B., Courtney, Emily, and Jennifer. (Does he even remember the other Casey?) I'm sure he probably said something nice about all the remaining "ladies," but who has time for that? Harrison's already gathered the women in their hotel suite to run down their week: one group date and two do-or-die one-on-one dates. The first date card goes to Emily, and she's a little overwhelmed about the card's "love lifts us up" message.

Chris Harrison Bachelor Blog Week 2!

2012-01-10T08:30:00.000-08:00

In his Bachelor Blog for Entertainment Weekly, Chris Harrison writes about The Bachelor Episode 2. Here's what he says:

The controversial figure of the house: Courtney Robertson- "Now we move from one controversial figure in the house to another: Courtney. From the moment she walked out of the limo she caught Ben’s eye and from the moment she walked in the house she rubbed the other women the wrong way. This week you got a great look at what will become a recurring theme, and that is the two sides of Courtney. When she’s at the house she doesn’t exactly go out of her way to ingratiate herself with the other women, but when she’s with Ben it’s another story. As you saw on their date, Ben is taken by Courtney and understandably so. The conversation between them is so easy and you can see the spark between them. Ben asked the golden question concerning Courtney several times: “Is she too good to be true?” Again this is something that will continue to play out in the weeks to come as Courtney’s relationship with Ben grows and her relationship with the ladies continues to sour."

Ben Flajnik's Bachelor Blog- Week 2

This week, in Ben Flajnik's Bachelor Blog for People Magazine, he writes about his group dates and his one-on-one with Courtney Robertson.

Ben writes about the Group Date: "Wow. I was so excited to see how the group of women would act around the children and handle the actual performance later. I was impressed! These women owned their roles like crazy. I loved seeing this fun side to them and when we were all walking through the town square in our elaborate costumes, I was hysterical laughing with them. It's hard to describe how awesome it was to be a part of the Sonoma community theatre that night. I hope they will have me back sometime."

One-on-One with Courtney Robertson: "I was surprised that we were so lovely-dovey so early on, as it was just the start of my journey and I knew there were lots of other relationships I still needed to explore. It really helped that Scotch was a fan of Courtney's too."

The Blakely drama: "Again, more Blakely drama. Uh oh. Here's the thing. The women might have been upset at Blakely's motivation, but I found it okay in the moment. She was determined to talk to me, finish her conversation and get to know one another better. Most people won't agree with me there, but I liked her persistence"

The Bachelor's, Kiptyn Locke, is thanking his lucky stars. The former Bachelor from Jillian Harris' season (and boyfriend to Tenley Molzahn) had a hospital stay due to a freak accident. Here's what Kiptyn had to say on his Facebook page:

"I'm home. I want to send a giant Thank You to my friends, family, girlfriend & everyone who showed incredible support these last couple of days. I'm the luckiest man alive from the friends and family for being there for me to the surgical team showing up at 10PM for a 4.5 hour emergency surgery. I am forever inspired by you and thankful for you. For curious minds, over the years I have experienced back and shoulder injuries from various sports, but on Thursday, a freak accident severely ruptured discs in my neck nearly severing my spinal cord. Thanks to all of your thoughts and prayers, and an incredible medical team who fused, graphed, and put a plate in my neck, now I am expected to make a full recovery. I won't be on the computer a lot but wanted to take the time to express my greatest appreciation for each and every one of you."

Kiptyn is currently at home and recovering well. Sending good thoughts to Kiptyn and Tenley!

The Bachelor: Interview with Chris Harrison

2012-01-03T11:54:00.000-08:00

Chris Harrison sits down with TV Guide to discuss this season of The Bachelor. Here's what Chris had to say:

Did you feel bad or embarrassed watching Jenna's fight with Monica and her breakdown?
Harrison: As far as the Jenna and Monica stuff, Ben barely knows his own name [that night] much less is able to be attune to the feeling in the room or what's going on. I felt for Jenna that night. She was, in my mind, a front-runner. We thought, based on paper, she was someone who was going to last a long time on this show. We all though this girl is cute, smart, from New York, but that's how quickly things can change. It just got the best of her and she had a meltdown —and it doesn't get better next week.

Ben was immediately attracted to Courtney, but it looks like she's this season's villain?
Harrison: If you're a tall, gorgeous brunette who caught the eye immediately of the Bachelor you're going to be an easy target. I wasn't sure how America would act, but it seems like they're a little put off by her as well. Courtney has obviously set herself aside [but] she's not the only one who makes waves and is an antagonist on the show.

Ben Flajnik's Bachelor blog can be found each week at PEOPLE. Here's what Ben had to say about the first night.

"My conversations that night were really heartfelt. The women seemed to open up to me early on and that was incredible. They kept telling me how I was giving them a "calming" feeling, but I think they were all doing the same for me. The majority of women were on their best behavior and it made my night much easier than expected....I particularly remember my conversation with Nicki being very natural. It was moments such as this one where I found myself thinking that being the

Check out Chris Harrison's full Bachelor blog here!

Here's what Harrison has to say about the Jenna and Monica drama: "As for Monica and Jenna, Jenna just let Monica get the best of her. Monica saw that she could put the screws to her and she did every chance she could. Jenna was already out of her element and Monica smelled blood in the water and attacked. Jenna locked herself in the bathroom and was crying so much we weren’t sure she was even going to make it to the rose ceremony. We had to hold everything up and wait for her. Ben was somewhat aware of the drama and although he was unsure of Jenna, in the end he decided he would chalk up her emotion to first night jitters and give her another chance."

The Bachelor: Get to Know Ben Flajnik!

2012-01-02T18:12:00.000-08:00

Via ABC: "The 28-year-old bachelor has fallen in love three times (Ashley being the third), but has only proposed the one time; that one failed proposal won't stop him from trying again. He is confident that, having found love on The Bachelorette, he will find his soul mate and a lasting, love-filled relationship this time on The Bachelor.

Ben, whose easy going charm and sense of humor made him so popular and relatable to viewers, is part of a very close knit family, including his mother and sister. Unfortunately his father, Joseph, with whom Ben was best friends, died almost four years ago. Always supportive, his father personified the kind of husband and father Ben wanted to be. Ben grew up in Sonoma, California, leaving for Tucson before he started high school because of his dad's work. His mother is a teacher of third grade "gifted students." Ben stayed in Arizona to attend the University of Arizona, majoring in music production with a minor in business. He quickly found success in the business world, working in Internet advertising after he graduated college. After his father died in 2007,

According to the website, "Vienna went on to star in another "love" reality show — Relationship Rehab. Her purpose on the show was to patch things up with Kasey, but oooohhhh noooo. Guess what the producers did! They got her ex-boyfriend, Lee Smith, the same one who she supposedly text throughout her relationship with Jake! According to inside sources (aka peeps with big mouths), as soon as Lee appeared on set, Vienna lost her sh*t! She started screaming and stormed off the set, yelling hate at the producers."

The Bachelor: Interview with Ben Flajnik!

2011-12-19T18:18:00.000-08:00

Ben Flajnik finally speaks! In this new ABC media interview with Ben Flajnik, the Bachelor talks about the new season and (maybe) finding love on TV.
Did you find love?
Ben Flajnik: I can't tell you that. But I'm happy with my decision in doing the show.

Can you talk about maybe your favorite date of the season?

Ben Flajnik: I can't reveal too much. (All the dates) are over the top and outlandish. But I found the dates to be the most normal to be my favorite. You know, the almost - closest to everyday kind of life.

Were you really in love with Ashley Hebert (during The Bachelorette)?
Ben Flajnik: No. I had genuine feelings for Ashley. I worked through a lot of stuff on my own. I think that my self-discovery was something I didn't expect. And Ashley was there for support and to help me get kind of through all that.

Could you describe what you were feeling that first night when the limo pulled up?

Ben Flajnik: Normally, I'm very cool, calm, and collected. When that first limo pulled up,, I felt sheer panic and terror kind of set in...It's nerve wracking on both sides.

What qualities are you looking for in a woman?

Ben Flajnik: It's important for me to be with someone who's well rounded, cultured, and inflexible, and not someone that is so used to routine.

Did you date actress Jennifer Love Hewitt (after Ashley dumped you)?

Ben Flajnik: Yes, I mean, Jennifer Love Hewitt had reached out. And wanted to come up to the winery with some of her friends, which she did. So my business partners and I showed her around the winery. And she tasted some wines. And we went out to dinner and just kind of chatted.

Are happy with the outcome?

Ben Flajnik: I can't tell you that. I'm happy with the experience. I'm happy that I decided to become The Bachelor again.

Chris Harrison talks about this Season of The Bachelor!

2011-12-13T06:02:00.000-08:00

In the NEW interview with The Bachelor's Chris Harrison, he talks about what's happening on The Bachelor Season 16.

AOLTV.com: Now, tell me a little bit about 'The Bachelor' this season. I'm hoping that Sheryl is just one of the contestants' grandma who wants to meet Ben.
Chris Harrison: Yeah, it's much more along those lines than it is her being on the show. Here's the thing: Of all of the stunts and twists-and-turns, we'll never forsake a spot on the show. We really want Ben to have as many choices and as much of a possibility to find love as he can, so to ruin that or to make light of that by bringing in someone he would never have a relationship with, you can't do that. It's funny, but it's also a sweet, kind of romantic story.

What's going to be in store for Ben this season?
It's an emotional, wild ride. He's a catch. The women knew he was 'The Bachelor' ahead of time, so the show was cast for Ben. These women get out of the limo, and it's on. You'll see tears and drama on the first night. It's going to be a little crazy for him, but for me, it was fun to see him evolve this season. Ben and I got to be really good friends, and we spent a lot of time together, and we include that relationship in the show. This season is a lot less formal. I would just walk in, be casual and just talk. That was our deliberation. The show has become a lot more organic these past few years, and I hope our viewers have noticed that. In the end, I really do want Ben to be happy and find love because I really do believe he deserves it. You can read the full interview at AOLTV.com!

Jesse Csincsak Responds to the Reality Steve's Lawsuit!

2011-12-12T09:54:00.000-08:00

Have you been wondering who feeds all the spoilers to Bachelor blogger Reality Steve (aka Steve Carbone)? Last week, Bachelor spoiler king, Reality Steve, was sued by ABC, alleging that RS paid past contestants for his information.

The Bachelor's, Jesse Csincsak, responded to the ABC lawsuit by saying that the "Mike Fleiss Production Company Next Entertainment came to me just over a year ago and offered me 30k to find out who Reality Steves Leak was ? I told them I would look into it and when push came to shove all I could find out is that it was someone in editing but could never find a name of a person."

Csincsak posted his official statement regarding Reality Steve's lawsuit on his blog...
"Yesterday I was approached by many media outlets reguarding this story on Reality Steve and the Lawsuit and so I did them. The funny thing is mike fliess had his people called a few people who published these stories asking them to take them down? A few even did remove them ???

I find this pretty funny because every season Mike Fleiss Makes Millions of dollars by destroying peoples lives without blinking an eye on his hit shows the Bachelor / Bachelorette & Bachelor Pad but when he gets someone saying something negative about him he Loses it ??? Really Mike you can't handle what you dish out ?? I guess money makes people soft.
