'The Bachelor' 2012: Ben Flajnik's former co-star feels sorry for Emily O'Brien

"The Bachelor" is traditionally a rather difficult experience for a good many people -- but for Emily O'Brien, it is an even harder experience than for most to endure.

Writing in a new post on the official show site, Ben Flajnik's friend Constantine Tzortzis (who appeared along with him on Ashley Hebert's "Bachelorette") explained that Emily is in a regrettable position -- trying to speak out about someone when Ben is obviously really into her:

"Poor Emily, at this point she has no clue just how far Courtney’s claws have set into Ben ... It’s clear who commands most of our [star's] attention up to this point. Surely though this can’t be a one horse race so soon?"

During the "later this season" preview last week, the show did suggest that some other ladies are eventually going to come forward with warnings about Courtney -- and it's still not clear whether or not Ben will listen.
