'Bachelorette' Recap: Emily Maynard's Downfall Is Painfully Obvious

Posted by Sasha Brown-Worsham

Emily Maynard doesn't belong on ABC's Bachelorette at all. I don't recall in any season ever seeing anyone I actually buy as SO sincere on this show.

Maynard set the show up as well as she could have. She is home, in Charlotte, North Carolina, near her daughter and her mother. The show never bent this much before and it's easy to see why. She is a winner and far too good for this show.

There isn't a single man thus far who even seems a quarter as genuine or as worthy as Emily.

John Mayer's 'Bachelor' Ben Impression Was Spot On & Hilarious (VIDEO)

John MayerJohn Mayer may have apologized for his raunchy comments about exes Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston, but he's still the same old John with a big old mouth. And now it looks like his latest target is former Bachelor Ben Flajnik!

That's right. Not only did John admit to Ellen DeGeneres that he is a huge Bachelor fan, he also proved that he can do a ridiculously accurate impression of Ben. It's pretty hilarious. Unless of course you actually like Ben, in which case ... you'll probably be mad. Either way, John clearly has a lot to get off his chest.

So say what you need to say, John, say what you need to say ...

'Bachelor' Host Chris Harrison's Divorce Was a Long Time Coming (VIDEO)

Chris Harrison may host The Bachelor, the show that makes a mockery of marriage, but he managed to make it 18 years with the same woman. It's a feat that deserves a round of applause given how many gorgeous, single women he is surrounded by every day of his life. And yet, why did his marriage end? Was it an affair?

My guess is that it's the damn show. That show makes a complete mockery of marriage. It's like marriage poison, in fact.

How many real marriages have come from the show? Two? And even those were fraught with drama and multiple chances at love. See below for some speculation:

Courtney Robertson & 'Bachelor' Ben Are Smart to Put Money & Fame First

Even though his season of The Bachelor has been over for a couple months now, people still can't resist picking apart Ben Flajnik and mocking his engagement to Courtney Robertson. Good grief! When are people going to accept that these two are hopelessly in love with each other and could care less whether the world is happy for them or not?! (Gah!)

And if the initial attacks on Courtney & Ben after the show ended weren't bad enough, now there are reports insisting that they are only staying together for the sake of the money they're pulling in right now. I still think they're a great match and are in this relationship for the long haul, but even if they were hanging in there solely for the cash, could you really blame them? Because it's not an entirely bad reason to stick things out for at least a little bit longer.

No DUH ‘Bachelorette’ Emily Maynard Isn’t Looking for Love

emily maynardEveryone take a step forward if you think that The Bachelor is more about finding fame than about "finding love." Not so fast, Jesse Csincsac. The season four winner apparently is the only one left on the planet who buys into the lie that the ABC reality show is truly about finding a husband or a wife. He told Celebuzz that all the guys should "run as far as they can" from the new Bachelorette Emily Maynard because she's only in it for the money, and isn't in it for the looooooove.

Jesse. My man. Do you honestly think that people really go on a trashy reality show to meet their soul mate? Dude.

Chris Harrison HAS to Be 'The Bachelor' Now That He's a Bachelor (VIDEO)

Isn't it kind of a funny twist of fate that Chris Harrison has tried to help people find lasting love on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette for so many years -- and now he's suddenly single again? I have to admit, I was kind of bummed to hear that he and his wife Gwen had decided to split after 19 years together. (Don't any Hollywood marriages last anymore?!)

I vaguely remember an interview of his I read back when The Bachelor first started, and I want to say that part of the reason he was selected to be the host is because he was a happily married man. I guess producers were worried about the potential funny business that could go on with having a single dude around all of those eligible women.

But now that he's a free man, the game has definitely changed a bit.

Courtney & Bachelor Ben Pics Show He Is Crying Out for a Makeover

ben and courtneyYou'd think dating a model would positively influence one's sense of style, but Bachelor Ben Flajnik proves that no one can pressure him into changing his ways, no one. He and his partner in "engaged dating", Courtney Robertson, were out in Las Vegas recently celebrating some C list product of some sort and the two were photographed in their bathing suits poolside before hitting the town.

Have to hand it to Courtney Robertson here, she always looks good. I guess you could say that she's, sigh, winning. But Ben, on the other hand, not so much. That butt cut is still alive and kicking.

Courtney Robertson & 'Bachelor' Ben Heading to Vegas With One Thing in Mind

Posted by Mary Fischer

ben flajnik courtney robertson

Well, well, well -- that sure didn't take long. Former Bachelor Ben Flajnik and his pick of the litter, Courtney Robertson, have only been engaged for a couple months, and they're already picking up and heading for Vegas. Not that I can say that I blame them.

After how bad the media has torn these two apart, it's really not that big of a surprise that they'd want to stay off the radar and do things their way when it comes to their relationship. And even though they met and fell in love on television, they just don't strike me as the type of couple to go and tie the knot in front of a live TV audience. (They're just not quite Kardashian enough for that sort of thing.)

Yep -- Ben & Court definitely have one thing on the forefront of their minds these days, so taking a trip to Vegas now makes perfect sense.

'Bachelor' Ben Flajnik Can Use Ashley Hebert to His Advantage (VIDEO)

ben flajnik

Now that Ben Flajnik's journey as The Bachelor is over, he must be getting a little bit nervous about falling completely off the radar. And while he's probably relieved that the hype surrounding his controversial engagement to Courtney Robertson has died down, it's highly unlikely that he's ready to take himself out of the spotlight for good. The whole fame thing can be kind of addicting, you know.

Lucky for Ben, it looks like he made the guest list for a super exciting reality-TV-star-studded event -- Ashley Hebert & J.P. Rosenbaum's wedding. And if he knows what's good for him as far as keeping his 15 minutes of fame going, he'll RSVP a big fat "yes" for sure. (Duh. Declining the invite will make him look like a heartbroken loser -- which he so isn't.)

‘Bachelor’ Ben’s Sexy Layers Are Proof He CAN Make Good Decisions

Ben Flajnik from The BachelorI'll never really understand Ben Flajnik and his wacky thought process. I mean, what person would WANT to date another person (read: his partner in "engaged dating" crime Courtney Robertson) who they very well know is an extreme beeyotch. OK, so maybe that's a little high middle school of me. And well, I wasn't technically there -- so who am I to judge?

While Ben and I may not see eye to eye on who the perfect girl was for him on this past season of The Bachelor, we do have an understanding when it comes to clothes. How random, right? Ben recently told Stylecaster that he's so totally into layering. That'a boy, Benny! Maybe you have a better head on your shoulders than I thought.
