Arie Luyendyk, Jr., is doing a great job wooing Emily Maynard on The Bachelorette so far this season, but a series of strange details about his past have cast serious doubt about both his character and motives. Are we looking at Mr. Here For the Wrong Reasons? While none of the revelations are that scandalous, Arie’s level of success this season (see The Bachelorette spoilers for more on that topic) makes them quite consequential as a serious candidate to become Emily’s fianc
Jesse Csincsak, former winner of The Bachelorette, is speaking out about the new lawsuit against Reality Steve , whose Bachelor spoilers have roiled producers for years. Csincsak says the real culprit in all of this is the show’s head honcho, Mike Fleiss, who he claims ruins people’s lives for a living, yet can’t take what he dishes out. The ex-fiance of DeAnna Pappas doesn’t understand capital letters, or know how to spell the names of certain toppled global despots, but he has strong feelings on the topic. Excerpts from his unintentionally hilarious blog post appear below: “Mike Fleiss Production Company Next Entertainment came to me just over a year ago and offered me 30k to find out who Reality Steves Leak was ?” “The problem is that they have hundreds of people who see the tapes in editing so nailing it down would be a tuff one so of course I was unable to cash in.” “Mike Fleiss is the steel fist of hollywood he makes everyone sign a 20 page contract signing away there lives and is the only Production company that doesnt pay his talent.” “He wants to be feared because he thinks that will solve his problems but what he doesnt understand is PIGS GET SLAUGHTERED look at every tuff guy in the history of the world … what happened to them ?????? Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, Sadam husane once you piss off enough people someone will eventually take you out of the game !!” “Fleiss you cant contunue to USE PEOPLE & push people around YOUR day is coming its only a matter of time !!” “As for reality steve he should stick to his day job he knows nothing about the actual bachelor show except what his Source leaks to him yet he calls himself an expert ??” “it would kinda be like me writing a blog about barbie dolls and calling myself an expert when in reality I have a friend who work for a barbie doll company feeding me intel…” “hope it was worth it steve enjoy your Tango with the devil and his mob !!” “I Think this Lawsuit is a perfect case of ADULT BULLYING !! Reality Steve has no contract with mike or ABC this is simply a SCARE TACTIC on mikes behalf to scare past & future contestants from talking about how he bullys people.” “Notice Chris Harrison has a new hosting gig with that game show !! “Congrats Chris your the man but could that be a sign that the bachelor franchise could be coming to an end ?? Are you running out of Fresh Ideas Mike ?? Eveyone Noticed you stole the Bachelor Pad Hanging Game from the Big Brother Franchise.” “all i am saying is cut the crap if you wanna dish it out VIA the Editing then be a MAN and take the haters like all of your contestants have to after being on your show. STOP HIDING BEHIND THE MONEY AND OWN UP TO WHAT YOUR DOING TO PEOPLE…” “I am only saying what everyone else thinks LATERZ I AM OUT !” THG NOTE : Get out while you still can, Ben Flajnik .
In an interesting piece of TV news, The Bachelor is suing Stephen Carbone, a.k.a. Reality Steve, claiming $75,000 in damages, according to reports . NZK Productions and Alternative Television, Inc. take issue with his tactics of “soliciting information from participants, cast, crew and/or other employees” by “inducing them to breach their confidentiality obligations.” Steve has been posting lots of The Bachelor , Bachelorette and Bachelor Pad spoilers for years, and surprisingly detailed, mostly accurate ones at that. The wild ending of Jason Mesnick’s season of The Bachelor, when he dumped winner Melissa Rycroft for Molly Malaney after the show aired, was Steve’s first big scoop . It’s unclear who the mole is – Steve is just some dude from Texas who posts this stuff in long-winded rants on his personal site – but producers claim he’s liable for damages because those who participate sign confidentiality agreements. Several of his tactics are highlighted, like this one email: “Let me just say, I’m very well aware of your contract,” Carbone allegedly wrote an unnamed source. “I also know that over 500 contestants have been on this show and not one of them has ever been sued for the $5 million.” “It’s just a scare tactic. Trust me. Just like they had no idea you sent me that last email, they’ll have no idea about any correspondence either.” “I know you’re scared and a little paranoid, but don’t be. Unless they are hacking your email or tapping your phone, there’s absolutely no way for them to find out.” The suit also highlighted this email to a former contestant: “I’m aware you were eliminated at the SF rose ceremony, so I probably actually know more about what’s happened since you left than you do, however … I do have some blanks that need to be filled in during the early episodes.” “I’m aware of your contract, but no one would know of our conversing.” The producers claim to have sent cease-and-desist letters to Carbone earlier this year. Now they’re arguing his actions “constitute unfair and illegal business acts” and are “unscrupulous, immoral, unethical, oppressive and injurious.” Carbone did not respond to an email from EW . The Bachelor returns January 2, with Ben Flajnik in the starring role. Steve has yet to spoil who wins this coming spring.

This evening on The Bachelor, Brad Womack takes his final three potential wives – Ashley Hebert, Chantal O’Brien and Emily Maynard – to South Africa. There can be only one Final Rose doled out March 14, though, which means two emotional decisions await Brad before then. Two beauties must be cut. We now know for sure who wins that final rose – and if you’ve been reading The Bachelor spoilers up until now, it’s actually NOT who you think. Will Brad pick Ashley (left), Chantal (center) or Emily (right)? Last week, we reported that one of the women above would be the next Bachelorette . This still appears to be the case. But the winner of this season? Intelligence now suggests a different conclusion to the finale than we believed to be accurate as recently as this weekend. So who’s it gonna be? Follow the jump for all The Bachelor spoilers … Having led people to believe Brad was engaged to Chantal O’Brien for three months now, Reality Steve is now eating crow , and a hearty helping at that. Brad has been engaged to Emily Maynard this whole time. Whether sources were deliberately misled to keep this ending a secret until the end (or at least very close to the end), is unclear. But that’s how it is. The dominoes started to fall recently. Chantal was seen out on a date – potentially explaining why she would turn down the role as The Bachelorette . When we assumed it was Emily who got rejected in the end, and then heard Ashley H. would be The Bachelorette , we assumed Emily didn’t want it. This made more sense, given her family situation. But why would Chantal turn it down? If rumors that she met a new guy are correct, this adds up. Also, Emily’s house is on the market in Charlotte, and Brad supposedly let it slip (in not as many words) on vacation in Cabo that Emily is the one. Cue the deluge of emails from insiders saying with 100 percent certainty that it’s Emily, not Chantal, and we’re all up to date, having done a 180. There you go. Sorry, fans of Chantal O’Brien, but as a leader in the field of celebrity gossip , sometimes we report on just that. Gossip and rumors. We don’t like to be wrong, but we’re only as good as inside sources purportedly are. We’ve now given you the latest, most accurate scoop we’ve got. No matter what, you can always count on us for that. What do you think? Is Emily Maynard right for Brad? Would you have rather seen him with Chantal or Ashley – and are you convinced this is correct?
All season long, The Bachelorette spoilers we’ve reported have been spot-on. So while we can’t personally vouch for what follows, bear that fact in mind. Since before Ali Fedotowsky even began her quest for love, we’ve known the identity of her final two suitors this season – and the one she does not pick. What’s eluded us, and the soothsayer of The Bachelorette spoilers , Reality Steve, is the end result. Is Ali engaged? Are they dating? Is she still single? The lowdown was always that one of the finalists, whose name THG has withheld here for those of you who like to remain in suspense, was eliminated. The other finalist’s fate was unclear. Either Ali Fedotowsky chose him and they’re engaged, she chose him and they’re just dating, or she chose neither. That question has now been answered with 99.9 percent certainty. Ali Fedotowsky’s final decision has been debated for weeks . There is no gimmicky ending with someone returning, just the two men from which Ali must make a heart-wrenching choice – one likely to leave many fans disappointed. WARNING: Do not read on if you do not want to read SERIOUS spoilers for the end of this season. This isn’t vague, Us Weekly-style nonsense, it’s a dead giveaway. On the season finale of The Bachelorette , Ali Fedotowsky chooses … Nobody . Sorry, but that’s what overwhelming evidence suggests, courtesy of Steve . For almost a month now, we’ve known Chris Lambton and Roberto Martinez are the final two. The guy she didn’t pick – the one whose fate was clear – is Chris Lambton. He will be rejected at the final rose ceremony, leaving Roberto and Ali to … well, about that. All indications suggest that Ali is single today and didn’t choose Roberto Martinez either. Five different sources report that she’s single, up from three just days ago. Again, you can choose not to believe this if you like, and there’s always a chance Steve is wrong, sure. He’s admitted as much. But he’s never led us astray in the past. Weeks ago, the fact that she didn’t pick Chris became clear. However, the news that Ali picked Roberto never materialized. Evidence that she’s single has – in spades. Well, what do you think? Do you believe it – and are you disappointed in the result? Is there a chance this is all bogus and she and Roberto will live happily ever after? Discuss The Bachelorette spoilers herein by leaving a comment below .

Looks like anyone who thought Lindsey Johnson and Bethany Steffen were just making this stuff up to get paid by celebrity gossip tabloids was mistaken. EDITOR’S NOTE : No one thought that. We all know Ed is shady.
On last night’s episode of The Bachelorette, Jillian Harris bid farewell to Reid Rosenthal, to the surprise of no one, keeping Ed Swiderski and Kiptyn Locke.
With the exception of Ed’s performance anxiety and the show’s hilarious ways of wording that situation, Monday’s episode was fairly vanilla and predictable.
But now that Reid’s gone and Kiptyn and Ed are the last men standing, The Bachelorette spoilers and rumor mill are starting to go haywire. Ready for this?
If our sources are to be believed …
Ed Swiderski proposes to Jillian Harris on The Bachelorette season finale in two weeks (next week is the useless “Men Tell All” filler clip show).
The “unexpected confession” on the seasonfinale is that Jillian’s just-vanquished “Honey Bear,” Reid Rosenthal, returns to say he loves her.
Kiptyn Locke has already been named the next star of The Bachelor.
Oh, and Ed may have a girlfriend back home.
Will Jillian choose Ed, Kiptyn, or a returning Reid?
First, Reid Rosenthal. You knew after DeAnna Pappas told The Bachelor‘s Jason Mesnick she “made a mistake” – this even before he chose Melissa Rycroft and dumped her for Molly Malaney – that The Bachelorettefinale would include some stunt.
Reid coming back to Hawaii to profess his love for Jillian Harris, which he just couldn’t quite do all season long and resulted in demise, makes perfect sense.
But is it too little, too late? Is it completely contrived? Probably. But is there a chance Reid can come back and steal this title in dramatic fashion? Sure.
It would certainly be a stunning (albeit blatantly scripted) conclusion that would fall short of the Jason-Molly-Melissa drama, but not by too much.
As for Kiptyn Locke, he has been rumored to have signed a deal to be the new star of The Bachelorfor some time now. Mr. Perfect certainly looks and acts the part, making some fans wonder if he was being groomed for this all along.
Finally, Ed Swiderski having a girlfriend in Chicago?
A shaky rumor, to be sure, but our man Reality Steve has never been wrong before, so his Bachelorettespoilers have to be taken semi-seriously …
Who will win The Bachelorette’s heart?
The blogger reports that Ed Swiderski left a female in Chicago high and dry – a girl who “without a doubt” was Ed’s girlfriend before he left for The Bachelorette.
This girl was under the assumption they were dating when he left to film the show. He came back to Chicago (after bailing on Jillian) then went AWOL again.
An email was sent asking “So I guess we’re seeing other people now.” Ed responded with “No, I just need to wait until this show is over.” This girlfriend of Ed’s is under the assumption they are together and she just has to wait out the show.
Shady stuff if that’s true. Wouldn’t it be wild if Wes Hayden drama was manufactured and it turned out to be Ed with a girlfriend back home – who came back to bite him? Or if all this were a red herring and Kiptyn Locke ended up winning?
