As painful as it is to watch Bachelor Ben Flajnik's unsuccessful attempts to keep his mushroom hair out of his eyes every week, we just can't help but stay glued to the TV on Monday nights. Seriously -- what is up with Ben's season of the show? The women are super-catty, the dates are somewhat lame, and Ben -- well, he's really turning out to be kind of a boring dude. But despite all that, we still want to watch. It's almost like this season of The Bachelor is just so bad that it's good.

Even though he usually comes across as either dumb, shallow, naive, or some sort of combination of the three, I think it's safe to say that we all had high hopes for Ben to find the girl of his dreams. And according to a new story in Life & Style, he did find love and put a ring on someone's finger. However, it also sounds like the engagement is off, and Ben's fairytale is already over. Total shocker -- I know.

Viewers of last night's episode of 19 Kids and Counting couldn't help tearing up after watching Michelle Duggar find out that the baby growing inside of her no longer had a heartbeat. That's the absolute last thing that any parent wants to hear at a routine doctor's visit, whether they are expecting their first child or their twentieth. Grief does not discriminate, and the Duggars were just as devastated as any mom and dad would be.

Going through a miscarriage is very emotional and also incredibly private for a lot of parents, but Jim Bob and Michelle decided to share their experience on reality TV because they hoped to help other parents. They were brave to publicize their awful moment, and they should be applauded for it.

Somewhere out there Tamra Barney's ex, Simon Barney, is saying, See what I had to put up with! after tonight's episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. It all started when Tamra and her hottie boy toy Eddie Judge invited Vicki Gunvalson and her new man Brooks Ayers to Catalina for a little getaway to celebrate Tamra's birthday.

You knew things weren't going to end well when Tamra started tweezing Eddie's nose and ear hair against his will in the limo; it quickly became clear that their honeymoon phase was long, long behind them.

Let's face it, the ladies of the Real Housewives of each and every city are much better known for their fighting than their loving. With all of that clawing and cattiness with one another, there's not much time for romance, but a few of them have managed to bring a little of it to the table.

Just like with everything else, these ladies push the limits when it comes to matters of the heart. In honor of Valentine's Day and love in all forms, let's revisit five of the steamiest, sexiest (or at least sex-filled) scenes in recent Real Housewives history.

Tonight was the third and final installment of the reunion for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It started where we left off last week with Taylor Armstrong revealing more horrific details about the abuse she alleged endured from her deceased husband, Russell Armstrong.

While it was awful to hear how he supposedly hid surveillance equipment in her car and in their home, and how he committed various other atrocities against her and some of their friends, Brandi Glanville really said it best when Andy Cohen probed her, "It freaks me out ... because he can’t defend himself." Exactly.

We also saw a brief and annoying appearance by semi-Housewife Dana Wilkey who added exactly nothing to the show or reunion. She made an attempt to make people feel sorry for her because of her rich/poor background, but just came off as more ridiculous than ever. Moving on ... hopefully for good from her.

The first few days they were in South Africa, the ladies of The Real Housewives of Atlanta were a complete embarrassment to themselves and all Americans. NeNe Leakes and Marlo Hampton led the way for sure, but all of them and their ridiculous quarreling over who got the best rooms and who got invited to what party was just painful to watch.

From throwing up a "rain shower" of money while dancing in a club to demanding hair and makeup artists before going on safari, Marlo is adamant about making her moneyed ways known. But as another Housewife once sang, money can't buy you class, which was more than apparent when Marlo showed up for the safari in sequined disco pants. Classy they were not.

Tonight's episode of Jersey Shore was mostly a mind-numbing mix of the same old things. We saw Pauly D and Vinny hooking up with any woman who would take them with a bonus stalker thrown in; Snooki and Deena getting blotto drunk and doing disgusting things (Snooki laying on the Smush Room bed when it had no sheets, ewwwww!); and Mike continuing to display just how pathetically vile and childish a grown man can be.

But the real issue at hand in this episode was JWoww's relationship with Roger. They've been doing so well for so long, but recently hit a rocky patch. When the guys ran into Roger on the boardwalk last week, and Jenni had no idea he was there, that's when the problem started. This week we saw it fester.

OMG. Can someone please tell me what in the hell is wrong with Ben Flajnik? Because there's just no way that he can be smart enough to own and operate a successful winery and still be dumb enough not to have figured out that Courtney Robertson is playing him like a cheap game of strip poker. That is, of course, unless he's sucking back way too much of the "drink" while on the job.

There have been some pretty nutty chicks who have appeared on past seasons of The Bachelor, so it's really not that big of a surprise that there is someone who has a major screw loose this time around. But seriously, Courtney takes the whole "crazy mean girl" thing to an entirely different level. She's certifiably nuts.

And just when we thought Courtney couldn't possibly get any more bizarre, new rumors suggest that she may have a sex tape floating around. Pick your jaw up off the floor, already. Are you really that shocked?
