Nick Peterson wasn’t the only man who betrayed Rachel Truehart on Bachelor Pad — Mike Stagliano took a stab at her heart as well. Rachel opened up to HollywoodLife.com in a tell-all interview about what happened to her Bachelor Pad boyfriend after the cameras stopped rolling — AND where their relationship stands now!

HollywoodLife: Where do things stand between you and Mike now? Are you talking or are you totally over him?
Rachel: There’s no bad blood between us anymore. There was for a little bit, but it was something I was dealing with the second filming was over. It kinda just went from like 60 to zero so it was a lot to handle. I talked to him a lot of times and I believe that he’s sorry and he’s apologized to me many times, both publically and just the two of us. It’s hard, I do think he led me on and I
think he knows that he did. There’s no bad blood between us. It is what it is. I’ve moved on. Happy for him.

HL: How did you find out about his girlfriend in Chicago?
R: That was a tough one to deal with because I found out he had a girlfriend about two weeks after I had gotten back and he waited ten days to tell me so that was a little bit tough to find out that way and then another couple weeks later. That was a tough one to get over and I kept finding out from people that things were going on. I kind of wish that he told me everything from day one.

HL: How would you say that your feelings for Mike compared to your feelings for Ben on The Bachelor?
R: Day and night! Sorry Ben. I just really wasn’t falling for Ben. I think you try to talk yourself into it a little bit because of the setting, you’re on these romantic dates and you want to. He was a great guy and we enjoyed our time together but at the end of the day I think that we could tell that we’re both just gonna be friends.

HL: Do you have a boyfriend now?
R: I don’t.

HL: We would love to see you as the next Bachelorette, would you be open to that or do you think after Bachelor Pad 3 you’re done with it?

R: No, I don’t think I’d be done with it all. I would definitely be open to it. As much as I’ve had some tough experiences through these shows and a little bit of heartbreak and disappoint, I’ve also had some amazing experiences and I’ve met incredible friends. It’s really changed my life for the better I think. I would definitely be open to it, I would need some down time. Obviously,it doesn’t film for a while so I have plenty of time to relax. Right now I’m just trying to get back into normal life and just be me again without all of the drama of everything. That’s definitely something I’d be open to.

For More About The Season 3 Finale Of ‘Bachelor Pad’ Watch The Interview With Rachel Below!

Rachel Truehart thought she had a friend in her Bachelor Pad 3 partner, Nick Peterson, all along — until the very final minutes of the final episode.

After being named the winners of Bachelor Pad 3 – and on the verge of winning $250,000 — Nick turned his back on Rachel and decided to keep all of the money — rather than sharing it with her! Fans (and HL!) were totally shocked when Nick’s greed kicked in, and Rachel tells us EXCLUSIVELY she still hasn’t been in contact with him since the finale!

“We have not spoken a word actually. The only things I know that are going on with him are what I read in interviews which is frustrating, you know, because a lot of times I’ll read that he hasn’t reached out to me because he’s waiting. And I’m not really sure what he’s waiting for,” she tells HollywoodLife.com. “It’s been weeks since we’ve filmed and you know I think he kind of owes it to me to talk to me a little bit about it.”

We couldn’t agree more! But Rachel tells us if he did find it in himself to say “I’m sorry” — she’s not so sure she would accept his apology right away.

“Right now probably not. I think it’s too little too late. He’s just somebody I don’t want to have in my life anymore. I did consider him a friend at one point,” she tells us.

It was definitely a shocking finale  on September 10– and we were disappointed Nick didn’t share the prize with the blonde beauty!

And we’re sure you’re wondering about Michael Stagliano! Look for out HollywoodLife.com‘s ENTIRE exclusive video interview with Rachel for more juicy Bachelor Pad details coming soon!

Has Ben Flajnik finally figured out that Courtney Robertson isn’t on The Bachelor to find love? During the Feb. 13 episode, Ben confronts Courtney about her true intentions. Will she be honest with him or will she fool him again with her lies?

Lindzi Cox gets the first one-on-one date. They jump out of a helicopter into the ocean. “I’m definitely falling in love with Ben,” Lindzi admits to the cameras. They write a message and put it in a bottle to send out to sea.

Emily O’Brien gets the second one-on-one. Ben takes her to catch lobster on a small boat. He gets lucky and hooks one. During the night portion of the date, Emily invites Ben to meet her parents.

Back at the hotel, Courtney whines to the cameras about Ben choosing to take Emily on a date instead of her. She states that she’s not sure if she wants to take him home to meet her family next week. “I really liked him,” she pretends to cry. “If I don’t get a one-on-one this week, I won’t be accepting a rose from Ben.”

Lucky for Courtney, Ben gives her the next one-on-one date. Ben and Courtney find a temple in the Belize jungle, but Courtney has something to tell Ben. “If I didn’t [get a one-on-one] I wasn’t going to accept a rose,” Courtney reveals. “I’m not going to bring someone home if I don’t know where we’re at. I haven’t felt that spark. I lost the spark babe.”

“If anything I respect those kind of things,” Ben responds. “It’s hard for me not to console you. You made yourself stand out out of anyone else that’s been here. I’m thinking I see my life with this woman. Today, I felt certain.”

“I have refound the spark,” Courtney tells him after they climb the temple steps. “We fit nicely together.” Ben is whipped.

Courtney then spews out lie after lie to Ben about the other women and complains about not liking them. Red flags start to go up for Ben. He likes Courtney but doesn’t want to be with a woman that other people don’t like.

Rachel Truehart, Nicki Sterling and Kacie Boguskie go the group date which takes them swimming with Ben and sharks. Kacie gets the rose.

Nicki and Kacie then talk to Ben about Courtney. “We want you to be cautious about Courtney,” Nicki warns. The women hint that Courtney isn’t on The Bachelor to find love.

Before Ben starts the rose ceremony, he pulls Courtney aside. “I know it’s been difficult for you, I just want to know that you are in this?” he asks her.

“The only reason I’m here is for you,” Courtney responds. “It’s been hard for me, but I think we can make each other happy. I’ve been nothing but honest and open.”

To the other girls’ disappointment, Courtney’s lies convince Ben to give her the last rose. Rachel and Emily go home.

Will Ben Flajnik ever find love on The Bachelor? During the Feb. 6 episode, Casey S. is forced to tell Ben that she’s in love with another man. And Courtney Robertson pulls another manipulative and provocative stunt when she takes her top off during the group date.

Kacie Boguskie gets the first one-on-one date with Ben. They take a helicopter to a private island. During the dinner part of the date, Kacie admits that she was bulimic and anorexic in high school. Because she opens up, Ben gives her the rose.

Emily O’Brien, Nicki Sterling, Lindzi Cox, Casey S., Jaime Otis, and Courtney go on the group date. Ben takes them on a boat ride down a river to a village where the women dress up in the traditional clothing of the local tribe. While the other women refuse to take their tops off to sport the traditional bead and colorful crop tops, Courtney is the only one to strip down. “I’m bare chesting it,” she brags. “Why night? I don’t do anything half ass.” Ben, who is in a loin cloth, notices that Courtney is the only one to participate. Ben and Courtney end up dancing together. They basically have no clothes on.

During the night portion of the date, Courtney again temps Ben to spend alone time with her. “I just want to feel special,” she tells him. “I feel like I need to keep that spark alive. I’m in room 1611. We can just lay there … “

While Jamie is having a private conversation with Ben, Courtney strips to her bikini, gets in the pool and deliberately distracts Ben. “I see Courtney in her bathing suit,” Ben confesses. “It’s very difficult to focus. Obviously I want to look.”

Lindzi gets the rose — and Ben never visits Courtney’s room.

Blakeley Shea and and Rachel Truehart get the two-on-one date. He takes them salsa dancing. Rachel gets the rose, and Blakeley goes home.

Host Chris Harrison next surprises the girls and asks to speak to Casey S. alone. “It was brought to my attention by three different people that you’re in love with someone else,” he confronts Casey. “Michael is your boyfriend back at home. That’s what I want to talk to you about. We spoke to Michael — he said you guys are still in a relationship. He said you were practically living together before you left.”

“Basically I was completely in love with him,” Casey admits. “He told me from day one he doesn’t know if he wants to get married. A year ago, I broke up with him and [got] back together with him. Maybe I should be in therapy. I think that my perfect scenario would be to fall in love with Ben.”

“I don’t want to be in love [with Michael],” Casey continues. “I want to give up hope that he will change. It’s really come to my attention last night that I still have hope he’ll change.”

Chris pushes Casey to go talk to Ben. “I came into this wanting to get over a guy who I was in love with, I think that I’m not completely over him,” she cries to Ben.

“I wish you had been honest,” Ben replies. “If you felt this way, I wish you had told me sooner. I think that you should go home.”

During the rose ceremony, Ben does not give a rose to Jamie and sends her home as well.

Cunning Courtney Robertson has no reservations when it comes to convincing Ben Flajnik to fall for her. During the Jan. 30 episode of The Bachelor, Courtney gets mad when she doesn’t get the group date rose. So, she decides to win her own way and surprises Ben with a skinny dipping adventure in Puerto Rico.

Nicki Sterling gets the first one-on-one date. They get caught in the rain so they duck into a shop. After it stops raining, they go for a walk to sightsee. They pause for a while to watch a wedding. During the night portion of the date, Nicki opens up about her divorce. Nicki admits that she “lost trust” in her husband. Nicki gets the rose.

The group date goes to Lindzi Cox, Courtney, Jennifer, Kacie Boguskie, Emily O’Brien, Rachel Truehart, Casey S., Jamie Otis and Blakeley Shea. The girls have to play a baseball game to see who will get to attend the beach party later on in the evening. The girls are split into two teams, but Lindzi gets to play for both teams. Courtney’s team wins, and the losers have to return to the hotel.

Kacie B. gets the rose during the night portion of the date. “I like watching you, I like being with you,” Ben tells her. “What I think I like most is your ability to get me to open up. You listen.”

This doesn’t sit well with Courtney, so she steals him away. “All I could think about is you,” she tells Ben. “Ideally it would be you and me and a bottle of wine and skinny dipping, getting crazy. Maybe we can orchestrate something.”

Elyse Myers gets the second one-on-one date. Ben and Elyse go on a private yacht for the day. But the night portion doesn’t go so well for Elyse. “I think my relationships with these other women are so far past than what we could get to,” Ben tells her. “I can’t give you this rose.” He sends her home.

Courtney surprises Ben in a robe upon his return from his date with Elyse. “I don’t know if he’s ever skinny dipped with a model before,” she tells the cameras. “It could be fun.”

“We can do something else out there,” Courtney tells Ben. “We felt so frisky.”

Ben complies. “She has taken it upon herself to magically appear on my doorstep,” he says. “Why not? Are you going full nude when you go in?”

Both Ben and Courtney completely strip down and run into the water naked. “I feel like I’m winning,” Courtney brags.

Ben feels guilty going into the cocktail party. “Courtney and I shared a very intimate moment,” he explains. “I feel kind of crappy about what happened.”

Courtney starts to tell the girls about her secret with Ben. “I like to be in my birthday suit as much as possible,” she smiles.

Emily then decides to warn Ben about Courtney again. Ben doesn’t like this. She returns to the group in tears.

Luckily, Emily gets the last rose during the ceremony. Ben instead sends Jennifer home.

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.

3. Bravo’s Andy Cohen Was Approached To Be ‘The Bachelor’

The Jan. 16 episode of The Bachelor is full of drama as Ben Flajnik and the remaining women head to San Francisco. One girl voluntarily packs her bags and leaves the show claiming that it doesn’t feel right for her to date with Ben. Then, Shawntel Newton from Bachelor Brad Womack‘s season crashes the cocktail party to try her chance at winning Ben’s love. The women are furious. But that’s not the end of it. During the rose ceremony, a contestant falls down seriously ill before Ben can hand out the final rose.

Emily O’Brien gets the first one-on-one date. Ben takes her to climb the Bay Bridge. Emily is freaking out about being 250 feet in the air, but Ben gives her a kiss to calm her down. They make it to the top. She obviously gets the rose.

The group date is next. Ben takes the girls skiing on a fake slope set up in the middle of a San Francisco street. How corny! Rachel Truehart gets the rose during the night portion of the date.

Brittney gets the next one-on-one date card, but she doesn’t seem that excited. “I’m in absolute shock,” she says. “Something doesn’t feel right to me. I should be thrilled, but I’m not. I’m torn and confused.”

Brittney makes a disturbing decision to leave.”These circumstances just aren’t for me,” she cries as she rolls her bags out the door. “I think I’m just going to go home.” Brittney interrupts the group date and says goodbye to Ben.

Lindzi Cox instead goes on the second one-on-one date. Ben takes her on a tour of the city on a trolley. They stop at the City Hall for a private concert and dance the night away. Over dinner, Lindzi and Ben really seem to hit it off. Ben gives her a rose. “She’s got something special,” Ben gushes. “Ben is sweeping me off of my feet,” Lindzi adds. “He’s amazing. I feel like this is the start of something special.”

The drama heats up during the cocktail party when cunning Courtney Robertson verbally insults Lindzi. Once again Ben misses her manipulative ways. During their alone time, Courtney feeds Ben a bunch of silly lines. “I didn’t expect to feel this way,” she says. “We could make cute babies some day.” Sorry, but Courtney seems to be putting on an act for the cameras.

Shawntel finally crashes the party. As Shawntel enters the room, the other girls freak out. “What. Who is that girl? What’s happening?” all of the women scream. Ben is just as stunned to see Shawntel. “Holy,” he stutters.

“When I found out that you were The Bachelor, I was not happy because I wanted to get to know you because I felt something,” Shawntel tells Ben. “So I decided that I have to know. I want to be at the rose ceremony. If you’d be willing to give me a rose, I’d be really happy. I think that you have similar feelings.”

“I’m speechless,” Ben replies. “I don’t know what to say to you right now. I will think about it. Wow.”

The other women are infuriated. “Why are you here,” a women asks. “I’m also here to date Ben,” Shawntel returns.

“She’s uglier in person, which makes me feel better,” Erika Uhlig states. Drama queen Courtney storms off. “This isn’t what I signed up for,” she cries. “If she stays, I’m prepared to leave.” Shawntel quickly earns the name of “Brad’s leftovers.”

The drama isn’t over. The rose ceremony starts and all the women are worried that Ben will give Shawntel a rose. Ben stops before the fina rose to give a speech. Erika freaks out and falls over. All of the women and producers panic. “It’s a three ring circus because of Shawntel,” claims one girl. “It’s all her fault,” another agrees.

Erika gets back on her feet finally and it’s time for Ben to hand out the final rose. Unfortunately, Ben decides not to give the rose to anyone.

Erika falls over again and breaks down in tears. Jaclyn runs and locks herself in a bathroom. Ben walks Shawntel out and says goodbye. These three women will not be returning for the next episode.

Ben Flajnik began his journey to find love during the season premiere of The Bachelor on Jan. 2. In a new personal blog on People.com, Ben gushes about why he’s quite taken by some of his favorite ladies. He also reveals why he decided to give Lindzi Cox his first impression rose.

“When I decided who was going to get the first impression rose I knew I was going to have a lot of glaring eyes on my back as I left the main room,” Ben writes in his People.com blog. “Lindzi had such a good energy about her that I decided she would be the perfect choice for the first impression rose. Let’s be honest too … she’s a beautiful, confident woman who rode in on a horse!”

Ben also fell for Nicki Sterling. “I particularly remember my conversation with Nicki being very natural,” he shares. “It was moments such as this one where I found myself thinking that being The Bachelor was the right decision.”

One moment in particular stood out in Ben’s memory. “Sheryl the grandma was also a highlight of my night,” he admits. “I am close with my grandma and found it to be very endearing that Brittney would bring hers along.”

“I also really enjoyed talking to Rachel [Truehart] and Courtney [Robertson],” he adds. ”They both seemed like they had good families back home, and had experienced life a bit more than some of the other women.”

Ben also hints that his journey as The Bachelor has a happy ending. “It took me a few months to decide whether or not I wanted to try and find love this way again, and after thinking long and hard about it, I ultimately thought it would be another positive experience,” he says. “Guess you’ll have to wait and see just how positive it turns out to be.”
