Ben and Courtney are making everyone think all is forgotten and it’s time to move on. Fans of “The Bachelor” don’t whether to believe that or not. In the past two weeks both of them are working hard to convince the media and watchful eyes that they’re right back where they started. In all honesty, they’re doing a pretty good job of it. Courtney just gave an interview to Wetpaint that perfectly explains everything. She even trusts her fiance again. Almost everything that was said on “After the Final Rose” has done a 180. Ben and Courtney weren’t going to talk to the press or do any media tours, yet Courtney interviewed with Wetpaint. Is this the first of many other interviews to come? As Reality Steve wrote in his latest blog, a lot of money will be thrown their way to give interviews.

For the most part Ben and Courtney are trying to make things work. Courtney was hurt when Ben initially dumped her for a few weeks when he saw her claws come out during “The Bachelor” season. This led her to admit on “After the Final Rose” that she didn’t feel trusting of Ben. She seems to have changed her tune and said that Ben always had faith in her. She continued that she wouldn’t be with Ben if she didn’t trust him. Makes sense.

Now that the show is over maybe Ben and Courtney can actually have a fresh start without the distractions of “The Bachelor” on every week, which showed them at different stages in their lives six months ago. In fact, people are already more optimistic. Courtney told Wetpaint that she has people coming up to her offering advice and wishing her and Ben the best of luck in their relationship. It beats everyone wanting to hate her guts.

Obviously the two of them are willing to move on, but are they forgetting about everything that’s happened the last three months? Probably not. They’re forgiving each other. What happens next is anybody’s guess. Hopefully they’ll be happier than Brad and Emily were. That was heart-wrenching.

Ben and Courtney are about to go on a tropical vacation, but it’s not known where yet. Soon enough several web sites will post their destination. Lord knows they need a break after everything’s that happened.

“The Bachelor” 2012 winner is out and everyone knows it’s Courtney Robertson who wins Ben Flajnik’s heart in the finale episode. Did Ben listen to his sister’s warnings that he should have listened to what the other had to say about Courtney? No. Is he happy now? Doesn’t seem like it.

When Courtney talked on “After the Final Rose,” she expressed that she’s not able to fully trust Ben because they had a rough patch after a few of “The Bachelor” episodes aired. One can only imagine the fights they had to have gotten into after Ben saw what a B**** Courtney was to the other women in mid-February. So, it makes sense that’s when the bulk of their problems began. She told Chris Harrison that she felt the most lonely around February 7th when Ben wasn’t calling her. In a magazine report before “ATFR” aired, Courtney said Ben didn’t call her on Valentine’s Day and that she thought he could have sent her carnations — anything.

Boy, he must have been royally pissed at her for not doing that.

The two are still together after “The Bachelor” 2012 season and are trying to make it work. Apparently they’ve never been totally broke up, but had some questionable moments. Mind games happened between them because Courtney was photographed in a wedding dress at the end of February just after photos came out in a tabloid that Ben had been cheating on her with three other women. Ben said later on he had no idea when those images were taken, but they weren’t during the time of the show’s airing.

Courtney tried on wedding dress to derail the focus of Ben’s alleged cheating.

Since the press has been so hard on Courtney and the fact Ben chooses her as the winner on “The Bachelor,” they’ve decided not to participate in interviews or media features. Courtney wants to move closer to Ben’s direction near San Francisco. She’s tired of L.A. and they want to work on their relationship. Will there be any redeeming qualities Courtney can prove to the public and Ben now that “The Bachelor” 2012 is over? Will the world understand finally why Ben chose her as the winner — the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with?

Fans are praying that “The Bachelor” 2012 spoilers are wrong about Ben picking Courtney at the end of the show.  Reality Steve is tired of sounding like a broken record, but it does seem that Courtney Robertson is the woman he chooses.

By reading the comments on this blog and my emails, people are sickened by this outcome. I don’t blame fans for being so disgusted with Ben that they vent here. I agree 200%. I can’t personally stand Courtney. On the other hand, I don’t see it working for Ben and Lindzi, either. I think Lindzi is too good for Ben and they’re too different when it comes right down to it.

I think if Ben really winds up matching what all “The Bachelor” 2012 spoilers have indicated, he and Courtney will have a public falling out almost immediately after the show wraps up. Remember when Ben said his biggest fear is falling in love with someone that other people don’t like? Well, it’s happening now big time. If he really feels that way then he’s in trouble because that’s exactly what he will have done. Why Ben is blatantly ignoring what the other women have told him about Courtney is beyond stupid. Quite frankly, I can’t see what he even sees in her physically. Granted, I’m a woman and all that, but I’ve seen nicer looking women with far more charm making a play for Ben on “The Bachelor.” What the heck? Even my boyfriend couldn’t see why Ben was so into Courtney.

Wouldn’t it be something if Ben shocks everyone and ends up proposing to Lindzi Cox? Likely won’t happen, but there’s always that shred of hope. What would be better is if he proposed and she turned him down. Oops..not nice. Can’t help it. It’s just that Ben’s been such an idiot this season and you hate to see a good woman get with him when he’s obviously only thinking about one thing. Reality Steve has said all season that Ben thinks more with his other head than the one on his shoulders. He’s not too far off on that observation.

“The Bachelor” 2012 final episode airs in less than 2 weeks. There will be a lot more speculating until that show airs. On March 5th “Women Tell All” will air and there should be some fireworks on-stage. I hear Emily tells Courtney she’s “autistic.” Not cool…not cool at all. My son is autistic and that’s not even funny. I liked Emily, but after that comment I’m changing my mind.

It may seem redundant to post the fact Courtney Robertson wins Ben’s heart on “The Bachelor” 2012, but spoilers have firmly pointed to the same ending that’s been leaked since December. Reality Steve is now addressing this at the beginning of his weekly posts because readers are so distraught over the decision Ben makes. Vienna Girardi was just as disliked, but she won Jake Pavelka’s heart in season 14.

Tabloid magazines are having a field day printing reports that state Ben and Courtney are no longer together. Now that the show is mid-season, popularity is soaring as the final four wind down. Week 8 will have the hometown dates with Kacie B, Nicki, Lindzi, and Courtney. The first 6 weeks of “The Bachelor” are never a big deal and it’s obvious from even the number of hits I get on this blog. People don’t get emotionally invested with this reality show until less than 7 contestants are left standing at the rose ceremony.

I have to say that I fully agree with how fans feel about the 2012 season of “The Bachelor.” I’m none too pleased myself with the outcome. I don’t care what editing Courtney Robertson is getting, she’s not nice to even blurt out the many things she has already. For Pete’s Sakes, she needed to get over herself when Emily O’Brien made the attempt to apologize in week 5. What’s her deal? Maybe I’ll annoy some people saying this, but I don’t even think Courtney is all that pretty. It must be her heart and body frame that get her modeling gigs because she’s not very pretty and is snarky. Not attractive qualities no matter how physically blessed you are. In the end that wears off.

So, Courtney is the one Ben proposes to at the end of “The Bachelor” 2012. It’s suppose to be between her and Lindzi Cox when the show travels to Switzerland for the finale episode. I’m not thrilled with the spoilers, either, but we can’t help how dumb Ben is. I thought Ryan Park would have been an excellent choice for “The Bachelor,” but they had to get someone who doesn’t believe in haircuts and has a thing for the snottiest woman on the show.

I sure hope Emily Maynard’s season of “The Bachelorette” has a lot better love story. We need someone on there who has a head on their shoulders that can see someone’s faults as well as their charms. Maybe fans would be more inclined to support Ben and his choice if he was willing to listen to the women who warned him about her intentions to be on the show. Granted, a lot of tricky editing and splicing goes on before the show is aired on TV, but you can only blame so much of Courtney’s bad behavior on that.

How do you feel about Ben’s choice in the end of picking Courtney Robertson to be his wife? Do you believe all “The Bachelor” spoilers that she wins?
