The Bachelor: Courtney trades birthday suit for Ben’s heart

The start of a dating relationship is an interesting time to get to know someone. In reality TV, where dating is usually stuck in some sort of certain time frame, contestants on a show resort to unique, for lack of a better word, methods to fight for the heart of their object of affection. On The Bachelor starring Ben Flajnik, previews of an episode set to air on January 30, 2012, show a fan un-favorite, Courtney Robertson in her birthday suit as she attempts to woo Ben while vacationing in Puerto Rico during week four of The Bachelor 2012. Think back to your first few dates with someone, did you sport your birthday suit that early on in your relationship? What does it say about someone when they are willing to go naked at an early stage in a dating relationship?

Reality television opens the doors for many unique and exciting opportunities – ones that you might not normally find while in the prowl in the Miami dating scene. For Courtney, it appears her decision to bust out her birthday suit may be triggered by a few things. First, she is on television, and ratings are ratings. Then again, others think that she might truly want to win Ben’s heart and she is pulling out all the stops to get his attention. Coming from such a conservative background, how do you think Ben will react? Some Miami fans speculate that Ben will eventually see through her plot to win him over and realize she is just playing games with his heart.

After the third episode of season 16 of The Bachelor aired, past loves of Courtney’s spoke out – some with kind words and some with no so kind words. Some pinned her as a heartbreaker while others painted her as a quite the sweetheart. Each dating relationship will bring out different facets of your personality. Is Courtney Robertson’s relationship with Ben bringing out her rebellious side - one that others had not seen before? Perhaps she really is just a misunderstood ‘doe-eyed vegan’ as Emily described her during the third episode of season 16.
