In a new blog post, Ben Flajnik details how his feelings for Courtney Robertson are strong, despite things the other women on The Bachelor have said about her.
Try as they might, as we saw on last night’s episode, Courtney’s rivals have failed in their efforts to paint Courtney in a negative light. At least in Ben’s eyes.
Flajnik writes in his weekly People blog that while The Bachelor “may not have been the best environment” for Robertson (ya think?), their connection is for real.
Ugh.
Of Courtney Robertson, Ben writes, “Here I was, amongst the clouds, with such an amazing woman. I’d never felt so close to my father and to my happiness.”
“To share this moment with Courtney was an exciting experience, and I knew if we moved forward that we would always be able to share this moment.”
“That evening, however, things got a little strange. It’s a tough thing, I understand, for the women to find a fine line between getting along with the other women and realizing it’s difficult to be friends with people dating the people you are dating.”
“I’ve been there, and it’s tough. I know it’s been hard for Courtney, and to be honest, I’m not sure this was the best environment for her. But, just as I tell the women to take our relationships individually, I try to do the same.”
“My feelings for Courtney are strong and I don’t want to let external forces get in the way. As the rose ceremony approached, I had a lot going through my head.”
“All the women told me about their reservations regarding Courtney; I had to think about what I was missing, or if this was all just the nature of the women living together.”
“It’s amazing to see how deeply the women felt about their dislike for Courtney, and it’s equally amazing not to see any of that coming through in her actions with me.”
“It was a lot to consider, but my conversation with Courtney at the rose ceremony reaffirmed that I have to focus on the way she is when she’s with me.”
“I see what some of the women were talking about, but I still feel great about Courtney because when I’m with her, I feel really connected to her.”
There you have it. She’s on to the final four, and possibly beyond (see The Bachelor spoilers for the scoop, we think, on how the season plays out).
Love her or hate her, there’s never been a Bachelor hopeful like Courtney.
Is she just a victim of editing and relentless cattiness/jealousy? Or does she deserve all the criticism she’s gotten by virtue of her own behavior/quotes?
You tell us: Courtney Robertson …
