Chris Harrison: Will Bachelor Ben Flajnik Pick Courtney Robertson?

Ben Flajnik, Courtney Robertson And Lindzi Cox

Is ‘Bachelor’ host Chris trying to tell us that Ben Flajnik doesn’t pick Courtney Robertson?

Ben Flajnik reportedly proposes and gets engaged to cunning Courtney Robertson during the season finale of The Bachelor that airs on March 12. But Bachelor host Chris Harrison seems to be preparing us for a different ending. Will Ben possibly choose Lindzi Cox over Courtney?

“Between the finale and After the Final, it’s going to be very different than any of the tabloids and fans think,” Chris tells TV Guide. “All I will say is, let’s sit back, take it all in … “

The Bachelor has changed Ben. “All of this has gotten to him and I think it’s slapped him upside the head in a good way,” Chris says.

Courtney is also trying to rehab her image after portraying herself as the vixen all season. “Courtney was way out of line and there was no justifying the way she acted,” Chris notes. “But for the first time, I saw a real person [at the Women Tell All].”

While people believed that Courtney’s apology at the WTA special was all an act, Chris doesn’t agree. “I learned something about Courtney at Women Tell All,” he explains. “This sounds weird because she’s a model, but she’s extremely uncomfortable in front of the camera. She doesn’t know how to act, she doesn’t know how to hold herself and the only time I really saw [her act] disappear was at the end when the girls really attacked her. All of the sudden you see this cover come off this person and it’s this little girl cowering and crying and very vulnerable.”

BFFs — do you want Courtney or Lindzi to win Ben’s final rose?

Hi! Sorry to comment in such a rnadom place but I didn’t really see anywhere else. I’m an avid YoungHouseLove reader and I saw your House Crash and I am smitten for your beautiful, thrifty, and unique home. One thing I am very interested in is how you made your vintage suitcase end tables. I LOVE vintage suitcases and I have quite a few of them and I was very excited to see them used in another way besides just storage, which is what I use them for. Is there anyway you can explain what you did or post some pics if you have them? Thank you so much and thank you for letting Young House Love crash your home I look at it all the time!

Cowering and vulnerable? I wouldn’t be surprised.
She was super-aggressive through the whole season and expected to get away with it AND the guy at the end. We don’t know for sure if she got the guy, though it’s likely, but she got called out for her nasty behavior on national tv and on the tabloids. Yup I would cower and feel vulnerable, too.

Newsflash for Chris Harrison…google ‘sociopath’ & read the section describing how the only pain they can feel/relate to, is THEIR OWN. Courtney is as phoney as a $3 bill & can’t act for _hit. She had plenty of flippant comments WHILE ON CAMERA during taping of the show, but backed in to the corner of accountability, no doubt with her agent slowly cutting his/her wrists over Courtneys divebomber Q rating, she forced herself to play ‘apologetic’ (PISS POORLY, I might add). If Chris Harrison actually bought Courtney’s ‘vulnerability perhaps they should follow up After the Final Rose with a ‘Does Chris Harrison’s baloon EVER land?’. WOW…does he REALLY thing we ALL just fell off the pumpkin patch truck? OMG!

Yep, it will be different. Ben proposes to Courtney, she accepts, he watches the show, then tell Chris H. there has to be an ending to this hot mess. The edit is Ben breaking up with Courtney… last 15 minutes of the show. The End!

I bet he doesn’t pick either of the girls:)

From Reality Steve:
When I have all the information on the ATFR that I need, I will post what I know. However, with that said, I can tell you what the after effects of the taping are. They are exactly what I told you they’ve been for the last 3 weeks while all the tabloid garbage circulated. Ben and Courtney are together, engaged, and she has her ring that he gave her in Switzerland. He put it back on her during the taping. Also, my sources are telling me they also had their photo-op yesterday with “People” magazine for the cover story that you will see come out next week. And oh yeah, they have been with each other ever since the taping on Sunday night in lockdown safehouse mode according to those same sources. Bow-chicka-bow-bow. So just know when Ben was live tweeting last night during the show, Courtney was with him.

off topic, sort of… chris’ ‘vulnerable little girl’ comment was off-putting to me. while i do think in general we fall in love with people when we see the honest unaffected child in them, i cringe at the 50′s fairy tale notion that the weepy helpless little girl/princess must be saved by a man. he didn’t necessarily say that, but i heard it. maybe i need to reel back my feminist impulses…

he deserves courtney at this point. the very fact that he kept her around this long, i would have no respect for him if i were lindzi. plus, he’s ugly.
