« A private conversation between Courtney and a show producer went public. During Chris’ temporary hiatus, one of the show’s producers went over to comfort Courtney, who was clearly very distraught after being attacked by numerous ladies. I was sitting backstage with a group of other journalists, watching the taping on a remote monitor. While Chris was gone, the camera and microphones were left on on-stage, and so the press was accidentally privvy to the intimate conversation. Courtney complained she felt like a deer in the headlights, and said she’d expected at least one of the women to come to her defense. « But I didn’t play with my hair once. Aren’t you proud? » she added. « Yes », the producer replied. « That was good ». The staffer tried to distract Courtney by talking to her about the kind of cigarettes she smokes – American Spirits, apparently – and the model soon began to feel better. « I’m not feeling very emotional anymore », she said, her tears dispersing. « You made me feel better. I appreciate it ». Then, she began to worry about coming off as too cold : « I don’t know if I can show that emotion again », she fretted. « You have to », the producer said. « This is for you. [Possible spoiler alert!] This is for you and Ben ». »

Fleiss admits that his show has less to do with reality than it does making good television. Which is all fine and good... if a few moments later he hadn’t claimed that the whole premise was romance and the search for love. »
