Bachelor why does everyone hate courtney

This means investing in a variety of outfits to prepare for various travel destinations and climates — from icy winter gear to tropical beachwear. Jillian Harris, the former Bachelor contestant turned Bachelorette, confirmed this on her blog, writing "The girls do have to bring all of their own clothing and of course, they want to be wearing the best clothes EVER to be seen on TV in!!!

No one can really fault the ladies on The Bachelor for wanting to look as good as they can all the time. Not only are they vying for the love and affection of the "man of their dreams," they have to do so with millions of people watching them every week. So it stands to reason that they'd want to stay fit. This is a little difficult to do though, since, as Andi Dorfman from season 18 revealed to Women's Health , "There isn't a workout room or any kind of equipment in the mansion.

They run throughout the grounds of the mansion and use anything with a little heft as makeshift free weights. When contestants sit down over elegant dinners for some one-on-one time, they're not allowed to touch that food.

Sean Lowe, the Bachelor from season 17 revealed in his book via Bustle that "this was just for show. No one looks good eating, and microphones pick up all kinds of chomping.

Don't worry though. Contestants do get to eat. Lowe said, "Before we went on the date[s], the producers sent food to our hotel rooms. We ate in our rooms and then went out for dinner. In this case, pricey is a bit of an understatement. The ring Chris Soules gave to Whitney Bischoff, the one with the 3. Bustle reports, "the exact details of the ring have always been shrouded in mystery.

It's not known for sure whether Neil Lane "donates" the rings in exchange for the promotion, or if ABC foots the bill, but one thing is for sure: the contestants definitely don't have to put any money down. In an interview with The Daily Beast , season 17 contestant Leslie Hughes observed, "From watching it from day one, there wasn't a lot of diversity, [contestants] were always Caucasian, blonde, blue eyes.

According to Splinter , no previous season featured more than two African-American women, multiple seasons had no non-white contestants at all, and the majority of African-American contestants left the show in the first two weeks. Season 17 broke new ground by casting four black women as contestants, but that didn't happen entirely without prompting.

The previous year, two black men named Nathaniel Claybrooks and Christopher Johnson filed a lawsuit against the show , alleging that its creator "knowingly, intentionally, and as a matter of corporate policy refused to cast people of color in the role of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.

The lawsuit has since been dismissed, but it's a claim that's not without merit. Though Rachel Lindsay made history in when she was cast as the show's first black Bachelorette, there has yet to be a black Bachelor. In , rumors began swirling that Wills Reid, a contestant from Becca Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette, would be chosen for the role.

However, former football player Colton Underwood was ultimately cast as the Bachelor for the 23rd season. Hopefully the franchise will diversify itself sooner rather than later. When asked in an interview with Us Weekly if he ever thought any of the bachelors made the wrong decision, Bachelor and Bachelorette host Chris Harrison said, "You bet.

Harrison said, "She was happy for a while, but obviously I think she ended up probably with the wrong guy. Another match that was certainly not made in heaven was season 14's Bachelor Jake Pavelka and his now-ex-fiancee Vienna Girardi — they had a famously tumultuous split.

But obviously they were a little bit like oil and water," Harrison said. According to Ali Fedotowsky of season 14, "You spend so little time with the person you choose before the final rose ceremony. I would say you probably spend about 72 hours tops with the person you wind up choosing, and 12 of that is spent 'sleeping' in the fantasy suite.

You can't really get to know a person in that time frame. Lest you think that the mansion where the Bachelor and Bachelorette receive their suitors was a set created by ABC, you were wrong. It turns out that the palatial house outside Los Angeles belongs to an actual family who rents their home to the producers twice a year, when they move everything out so the show can turn in it a singles' paradise. The family, whose last name we don't know, stays in a hotel during taping.

According to Good Morning America , fans occasionally show up at the mansion hoping to catch a glimpse of the cast. Marshall, the husband and father who owns the house, is a contractor who designed the house along with his wife. He has even been known to let fans take a swim in the family's pool. In November , it was thought that the mansion might burn down as the Woolsey Fire devastated Southern California, as celebs like Miley Cyrus and Gerard Butler lost their homes in the area.

But fortunately, the mansion managed to make it through, as reported by ABC News , and fans thankfully didn't have to say goodbye to the famous Bachelor pad. What happens to that enormous Neil Lane diamond ring if you decide the person you picked isn't the one for you?

The funny thing is that Courtney was very aware that she was a villain—she even hinted that it was her intention all along. Sounds about right. Justin was known by his wrestling nickname, Rated R, for a reason. When Ali confronted him about this, he literally just ran away. Chad Johnson is one of those names Bachelor Nation will never forget—for better or for worse. Chad also called out his fellow contestants who claimed to be in love with JoJo after only a few days, which, again, fine, is kinda fair.

With only a little cajoling, we convinced a friend to read it aloud complete with voices! It covers everything from the staging of contemplative shots to a covert rendezvous that resulted in an allergic reaction in very uncomfortable places.

Now, having read it, I can safely say that going on The Bachelor is not on the table — after all, I value my sanity. Robertson and co. Too difficult. No, thank you.
