Stuck in Reality

Former 'Bachelorette' Ali Fedotowsky Is Lying to Her Fans

ali fedotowskyAli Fedotowsky loves her new life. Her engagement to Roberto Martinez ended in a nasty split, but the reality star says she got her happy ending after all. "I'm so much happier," she said during a sitdown with Talk Stoop.

The reason? Well, the former Bachelor and Bachelorette star has a sweet new gig traveling the world as a correspondent for NBC's 1st Look. She swears she didn't intend for her search for love to turn into a TV career -- it was just a lucky accident. Yea right! She must think her fans are fools.

After 20 combined seasons of those dating shows, one thing is clear: you don't sign on to find The One. You do it to get your 15 minutes of fame. "No, I really didn't. I loved Facebook, I loved Silicon Valley, and I didn't really think I'd be good enough to do a TV show, at the time," Ali insisted. "So I went on to find someone, and I didn't."

Come on, girl. Everyone knows the real prize on The Bachelorette is getting on-air gig, throngs of fans, and living the high-life whether you land your dream man or not. Love is never the goal. If it were, you wouldn't waste your time going on a show that hardly ever nets a lasting match. In all these years only a few romances have actually survived. So do your fans a favor and just admit it -- a few dates with a bunch of cheesy guys and buckets of crocodile tears are a fair trade for a cushy TV gig.

Do you think Ali really did The Bachelorette to find true love?

    I think she may have started with the idea of finding love, but fame took the front seat.

    I like the bachelor/bachelorette blogs that are informative and not speculative.  I can make my own judgements without the help of someone who knows someone as much as I do.  I think contestants do go on to find love, learn something about life/love and some times something might come of it because they are so likable, like Ali. There is no reason to criticize someone who does what you do, but at this time gets more press.  Pot and Kettle.

    Sounds like Ericka Souter is jealous. Who cares what reason Ali had for going on the Bachelor. It's a phony reality show all the way around. Get a life folks! Do a good ded for someone! Say something nice about anyone.

    Ali u are nothing but a liar. You used the show to get your fame & not only the show but Roberto. Your show won't last and by the time you want to marry you will be too old. I am beginning not to like you and could you please stay away from saying stuff to the magazine or whoever asks you questions? You know you can just walk away & not say a thing. But like always you want to be everywhere & I am so tired of you. Please stay away!! You couldn't stand that they were saying so many wonderful things about Roberto that you had to put your mouth where it doesn't belong anymore!!

    I agree with Tracy, not your business.  There are plenty of people that were on the show and aren't heard of afterwards whether they have found love or not.  Let's not be jealous because she landed herself a great job! tsk tsk
