Bachelor: Courtney Robertson Threatens One Of Ben Flajnik’s Girls

Courtney freaks out when one of the girls calls her out in front of Ben.

Ben Flajnik and the girls travel to Park City, Utah during the Jan. 23 episode of The Bachelor. While they are all in one of the most romantic settings in the world, Courtney Robertson still seems more worried about winning the competition than Ben’s heart. The other girls can see that she’s not on the show for the right reasons, but Ben is blind. One girl decides to tell Ben about Courtney’s bad intentions — but the conversation doesn’t go as planned. Plus, Ben sends one girl home suddenly in the middle of the group date.

Rachel Truehart gets the first one-on-one date. Ben picks Rachel up in a helicopter. They share a romantic kiss in the middle of a lake on a canoe. Besides the kiss, Rachel and Ben don’t seem to be connecting about much else. Rachel isn’t opening up, and Ben notices this especially during the night portion of the date. Despite the awkwardness, Ben still gives Rachel the rose.

For the group date, Ben and the girls go for a trail ride — but this is when Courtney’s haughty attitude starts to come out. “These other girls don’t have their eye on the prize and I do,” Courtney states. “I don’t feel threatened by any of the girls.”

Courtney decides to “turn the group date into a one-on-one” and pulls Ben away from the other girls while they are fly fishing. She catches a fish and all of the women are instantly jealous.

The tension is growing during the night portion of the date. Samantha corners Ben and asks him why she hasn’t gotten a one-on-one date yet. “The group dates you’ve been on, you’ve been highly emotional,” Ben tells her. “In your actions I don’t see it [your feelings for me] and that’s why you continue to be on group dates. I don’t see this going much further. I wonder if you take this seriously enough. Based on the track record, I’m thinking we should end this right now.” Ben sends her home in the middle of the date.

Ben then takes Kacie Boguskie up to his room at the hotel to reassure her of his feelings. “I’m in trouble with Kacie B.,” Ben gushes. “My relationship with Kacie B. is growing faster than most. I might end up with her. She’s wonderful.”

Courtney steals Ben away again and spills out what seems to be lie after lie just to keep him wrapped around her finger. “My spirit’s down a little bit,” she whines. “I’ve lost sight of everything.” Ben seems crushed and gives her the rose. “Winning, winning,” Courtney says on a side note to the cameras. Does this seem like something a girl who is honestly falling in love would do?

Jennifer gets the last one-on-one date. They jump into a crater and go swimming. They then get caught in the rain, but she still gets the rose. Ben also surprises her with a Clay Walker concert. How fun!

During the cocktail party, Courtney complains to Jennifer that she’s waiting for “a bomb to go off” because everyone has been talking crap about her. She’s right. Emily O’Brien decides to warn Ben about Courtney’s behavior.

“I feel like there’s one girl here who is very different around you than she is around the rest of the girls,” Emily tells Ben.

Emily then tells Casey S. that she warned Ben about Courtney — but Casey is friends with Courtney and defends her. After they are done talking, Casey goes and tells Courtney that Emily was ragging on her to Ben. Courtney freaks out.

“I almost just want to rip her head off and verbally assault her,” Courtney tells the cameras. “She should watch herself. Emily is the first girl to really f*** herself over with me.”

Courtney confronts Emily. “You talked bad about me to Ben and my best friend here,” she says. “It’s not a good look. You’re acting like [you're 10 years old].”

“Winning, I got a rose. You don’t,” Courtney brags as she walks away.

Emily breaks down. “I really like him and I feel like other stuff is getting in the way,” Emily cries. But despite all of the drama, Emily still gets a rose.

Monica Spannbauer is the only one not to get a rose during the rose ceremony.

I hear Courtney is going to be at the “Girls tell all” this coming Monday.
If she is trying to say she is sorry for the way she treated the girls, then
she should stop and think what she said to Emily, when Emily tried to
apologize to Courtney. What goes around comes around!!

Ben is a NO personality freak. WOULD any of these girls even look his way in a bar? ALL of these girls BUT Courtney can do much better. ALL he does is say..I AM GLAD YOU OPENED UP and then does a STUPID UH remark and goes in for a kiss. HE ADDS NOTHING to any converstion. With other bachelors/bachelottes you get to know them. He has NO PERSONALITY. He is just blaaaaaa. GOOD for all these beautiful sweet young girls for NOT getting picked. YOU ALL CAN DO BETTER!!!!! Courtney is just nasty..GOOD luck to the girls that are friends with him, his mother and sister. You are going to have a psyco on you hands!!

OH yea…WHY do the girls think BEN is so sweet??? He is NOT that nice. He is NOT taking anyones warnings and is not even sweet when he sends the girls away. I am so lost on why he was picked to do this show.

i heard he chose courtney ….. Wondering after watching all of these episodes if they are broken up by the time the reunion show comes up… that should be the most interesting reunion ever..
All of the viewers hate courtney and ben probably does now .. he only so what she wanted him to see . but now he sees it all on tv for interesting info for the reunion .. so excited more excited fro the reunion then the finally

Look up and see the trend. If Ben were going to figure it out and dump courtney; it would happen already. One girl tries to tell him, and gets sent home for her trouble, yet courtney wines about the “mean girls” and he almost falls over himself trying to make her happy. That skinney dipping night: That would done it for me. The girls still don’t know that. I fault the producers fOR allowing that. I would have joined up with the others , confronted them, and walked out,

Ben is blinded by lust! He can’t seem to see past Courtney’s lewd, crude behavior. I hope he picks Courtney in the end, because the other ladies deserve a lot better! The boy’s dumb as a doorknob!

This show is becoming so dumb! They bring people like courtney robertson on the show who has an obvious mental ilness and keeps her on. It shows that the producers arent serious for the sucess of there show. I hope by courtneys actions on this show she gets less employment based off her actions.

i think ben is a idiot he picked courtney ewwww she is not the one for him i think he should’ve picked kacie b i think they will be a cute couple courtney is just playing the game thats all is trying to do……….. i hope he break up………

I like Courtney! I think Ben is a jerk and he treats women pretty poorly. I am glad that she’ll put him in his place. You go, Courtney!

Ben is officially an idiot. Anybody with half a brain would see through her manipulations. Of course, this man is obviously thinking with the wrong head. All the nice girls can be thankful they dodged a bullet. If this is who Ben wants, it makes him really shallow and foolish, and the other girls deserve better. All Courtney deserves is a long stay in a mental institution. There is something very wrong with her. She has no soul and no heart. Ben seems like he does have heart and soul, but has let her completely dominate the season. What a fool.

Does Ben really see Courtney “the model from Santa Monica” as the type to settle down in a small town like Sonoma? I mean, seriously. Is he that dumb?

Poor Ben. I thought he was smart enough to see through the deceit that Courtney was dishing out. Every time she would say “winning” I just wanted to puke! She seems really unbalanced. Again, poor Ben!!!

Ben is an idiot for choosing Courtney. Emily is right, Courtney should absolutely be diagnosed. She seems to fit the criteria for ALL the cluster B diagnoses! Well…here’s hoping she’ll spend her old age in a mental health institute. That seems to be where she’s heading right now.

After just reading that Ben Flajnik is engaged to Courtney I will no longer be watching the”Bachelor”!!!!!She is such a fake and unsinciere person. Good luck Ben you made a huge mistake in choosing her!!!!!

Courtney is an evil person and I am certain Ben’s mother and sister will hopefully steer him away from her as I did hear that he picks her in the end. I think that Casey B is a very nice girl, as is Rachel (although she might not have enough substance for him) – other than that, there is not anyone I feel would fit – but Courtney is just a mean, nasty person!

I won’t even watch anymore now that I know Courtney makes it to the final 3 and may even be the “winner.” I can’t even stand to watch her – she does this gross mouth upper lip thing that freaks me out, really gross and she defs has narcissistic personality disorder- he’ll be sorry, very bad judgement, especially with so many other great girls to choose from. I’m out. I have never not been able to watch before due to a contestant but Blakely and Courtney are both just too gross!

Oh I know! What is with that weird face she makes with her mouth?!! It drives me nuts. I wonder if she knows how ridiculous she looks!

Ben will eventually see her catty, superficial nature, albeit a little bit too late…she’s not exactly the down-to-earth type that I would think Ben would want in a partner.
