The Bachelor & The Bachelorette: Must Reads from Around the Web

by Eden Godsoe posted to TV, Movies & Music | 34,777 views

It's fair to say I am obsessed with The Bachelor and The Bachelorette series. I've watched every show since the first Bachelor aired with Alex Michel. Here is my roundup of good reads, gossip and much more.

Ellen Is On The Bachelor | You Tube

They've ignored her storyline all season, so today Ellen decided to show a scene of her on this season of The Bachelor. It looks like she had a great time with the ladies in Belize!

This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. You have to give it to Ellen - she has moments of incredible humor!

The Bachelor: Why Smart Women Watch (and Love) It | Huffington Post

Confession time: I watched "The Bachelor" ... and I liked it. I've been hopelessly and unfortunately trapped in the series' web of tears, overly-earnest declarations of love and tacky dresses -- and I'm far from alone.

I am pretty open about watching (and loving) The Bachelor. Heck I even created this whole list of related good reads. I suppose it is partly the train wreck aspect since I can't stand Ben and most of the female contestants. I think it also helps me relax with mindless brain candy after a full day at the office and parenting two young children.

Am I the only one who thinks Bachelor Ben looks like Francine Frensky?

Love this comparison from @Mr_AndrewHunt. Personally I am not a fan of Ben's whole look.

Illicit Sex Tape of Courtney Robertson | The Examiner

An insider says the sex tape Courtney Robertson of "The Bachelor" 2012 is "pretty dirty." Will her ex-boyfriend release it?

I have a feeling more than a few of these Bachelor 2012 contestants have sex tapes or other dirty little secrets. How many are really looking for love on this show as opposed to getting exposure thinking it will catapult a career.

Best Bachelor Tweets | Huffington Post

It's already been established that (some) smart women love "The Bachelor" and that there are a variety of rockin' "Bachelor"-watching parties said women can throw.

A roundup of the best #Bachelor tweets from the week of Feb 13th. Plenty of tweets on Ben's hair like this one from @MissLeslieG - Are we just gonna sit here and accept Ben's hair?

Why Ben's the Worst 'Bachelor' | Buddy Media

I've seen a whole lotta Bachelors in my day. And Ben is the worst Bachelor. Definitively, the WORST.

I have to agree with this post on Ben being the worst Bachelor. Of course I can't stop watching!

Courtney and Ben Skinny Dip | Daily Mail

She has already declared war against Emily on last week's episode of the show. But it seems that Courtney has decided to play dirty, break the rules, and strip off to ensure she has the full focus of Ben’s attention.

Ben skinny dipped with much hated Courtney. Not sure that was a good idea...

Direct link to the Shawntal's family-run mortuary business. I kinda think it's cool that she loves her job and didn't go on The Bachelor (both times) to try to advance her modeling or acting career.

Amanda Davis: Hmmm, I, like the other girls trying to earn Ben's love, felt very negatively about the arrival of Shawntal this past ep. But you're right, it is cool that she is proud of her job, even though most would feel it is creepsters.

Crazy Contestant Jenna Burke's Blog | The Over-Analyst

I enjoy analyzing. It’s one of the things people may consider a problem, yet it’s one of the things I really like to do. I think it makes us more interesting and leads us to new discoveries.

Jenna has to be the craziest contestant yet. She describes herself as a freelance writer and cites this blog. It has so little traffic it cannot be analyzed on Compete. And love her description of herself as someone who "enjoys analyzing." What does that mean? Does she think it makes her sound smart?

Amanda Davis: She is totally cray cray... you know when they use your breakdown in promos before the season starts, you probably aren't the most stable.

The Bachelor: Where Are They Now? | TV Guide

This 2011 round up of where all the former Bachelors have ended up is a little outdated since I know that Alex Michel was married in 2010. Nonetheless a fun read to see where your fave (or most hated) Bachelors ended up.

Now that the hype and dramatic buildup surrounding Sonoma’s home grown contestant on the television series “The Bachelorette” has died down and we now know that Ben Flajnik did not win Ashley’s heart, maybe it’s time to look at what “Ben...

It's pretty tough to start a winery so we'll see if Evolve succeeds. As someone who is pretty into wines (at least I like to drink them!) I'd love to taste one of Ben's wines to see if he's the real deal.
