Shortly after the final rose aired, Ben and Courtney told news that they had not broken up but did need more time together. Since then, the couple have gotten closer.

But could Ben and Courtney be getting married soon? Recently the couple shared the above picture. Ben commented “Should we get married here? a picture of Courtney and I observing a wedding.” Courtney embraced the idea of marriage as well. “I love this candid photo of my boys playing at Baker Beach this morning! I am in love with this place, first time here. I think this would be a fun place for a wedding @BenFlajnik Happy Friday all!”

And while the two were talking marriage last Friday, over the weekend Ben continued to discuss his happiness. Ben said he was happy that his engagement has been going so well. He said “well @bugrobertson brought a lovely little fact up this morning, we have in fact been engaged for nine months as of today”. Ben added “holy —. love you mucho!”

So with no wedding date set, and the two still together, is there really love going on between Ben and Courtney, or is this all for the cameras? When Ben chose Courtney, viewers were enraged. When they found out the two are still together, the reaction was even worse.

And yet, many viewers contend that Courtney and Ben are made for each other. “Whether or not Courtney made mistakes with her words and attitude, however, the person she was with Ben was a good match” reacted one viewer.

When the show aired, most viewers contended that Courtney was out to win the series, but not win a man’s heart indefinitely. Fans have called Courtney’s rise to the top as filled with manipulation, deception, and similar. Others have called Ben’s ability to let Courtney advance, week to week, as indicative of male blindness, lack of seriousness, and libido winning over love.

But for now, Ben and Courtney are silencing their critics, one day at a time. They say they have never been happier, that they are still engaged, and that a wedding could be coming up soon.

As the finale approached, many contended that any win by Courtney Robertson would be short lived. Quickly reports surfaced asking if whether Ben and Courtney are still together, while many asserted that they had already broke up.

After filming ended, the two were spotted walking around San Francisco along with Ben’s dog Scotch. But while followed by camera crews, the two showed little chemistry, claimed local news.

In the end, Ben and Courtney understood that many fans were against their decision and thought they were not compatible. But other fans supported the two. “Whether or not Courtney made mistakes with her words and attitude, however, the person she was with Ben was a good match” wrote one fan.

Others contended that “Ben and Courtney” had become a reinvented “Jake and Vienna”. At the time of Jake’s pursuit for love, online spoilers for months claimed Vienna would win the season. At the time, the negative reaction about Vienna spoilers were just as strong as Courtney spoilers.

But for now, Courtney and Ben are still very together. The couple appeared in Sonoma just this month. Ben’s Envolve winery recently opened its first public tasting room. The couple were present, embracing, and telling news that they were even more in love than ever before. Both are wearing their engagement rings. Yet no wedding date has been announced to news.

Neither has yet to comment about the anticipated winner for the Bachelorette tonight. But they tell news “Watching #thebachelorette with @bugrobertson tonight for the first time. Here is a picture of the two of us. It’s weird to be watching from this end”. As previously covered on LALATE, Jef Holm is the reported Bachelorette winner.

Ever since Courtney Robertson went for a “swim” with Ben this season of the Bachelor, Courtney has told viewers, in her own Charlie Sheen way, “I’m winning”. Courtney Robertson told viewers and news that she wasn’t on the show to make friends with the other female contestants. She was there to win. Tonight, she does exactly that, claims online spoilers.

But Courtney’s desire “to win”, rather simply “find true love”, has resonated poorly with viewers. Most viewers contend that Courtney was out to win the series, but not win a man’s heart indefinitely. Fans have called Courtney’s rise to the top as filled with manipulation, deception, and similar. Others have called Ben’s ability to let Courtney advance, week to week, as indicative of male blindness, lack of seriousness, and libido winning over love.

But are Courtney and Ben still together? Soon Life and Style, and US Magazine, claimed the two were done. Life and Style claimed Ben and Courtney both wanted to call off the engagement. US Magazine claimed he was cheating.

Courtney Robertson and Ben Flajnik haven’t been good at keeping spoilers out of the news since December 2011. Courtney was spotted walking Ben’s dog since taping ended last year. During last week’s Women’s Tell All Episode, she told viewers that she still cares for Ben. But are these two really ever getting married?

If viewers were expecting a massive blowup between Courtney and Ben in next week’s episode, producers have already suggested that isn’t happened. When asked if she still loves Ben, Courtney told fans this week “I still do”. Months of spoilers have claimed that a massive Jake and Vienna like implosion will happen between Courtney and Ben in the After the Final Rose 2012 telecast. We now know that is no true.

But even if Courtney still cares for Ben, that still doesn’t answer key issues. Are Courtney and Ben still together? Are Courtney and Ben engaged? Earlier this year, the key issue was who wins the Bachelor 2012? That issue was answered months ago by spoilers. Yes, Courtney and Ben are engaged in the season finale airing on Monday. That episode was taped last year. Spoilers of that episode leaked thereafter on RealitySteve and Ryan Seacrest.

But the bigger issues since January have been if Ben and Courtney are still together? Nearly a half dozen spoilers and news magazines this month claim that Courtney Robertson and Ben Flajnik have broke up. But that apparently is not true either.

During the Women Tell All episode, Courtney strangely answered that she “cared for him”. By stating she “cared” not “cares” for Ben, many spoilers went crazy asserting Courtney gave away the show, that she no longer likes Ben. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Ben has been the subject of cheating allegations. He has denied those reports. A series of women have been seen embracing Ben since taping has ended. But ironically, Ben knows all those women, they are reportedly friends of his buddies, claim reports. So is this artful media manipulation to drum up suspense for the finale?

Every finale of the Real Housewives, by example, is always littered with news reports that some Housewife is leaving the show, angry with the cast. Each finale of the Bachelor, comparably, is always littered with news reports that the Bachelor and his winner have broke up. But this time, it’s not happening, apparently.

Here, Courtney Robertson and Ben Flajnik are still together, at least as of March 2012. They are currently staying in a “safehouse” in Los Angeles, claims RealitySteve. When tweeting to fans recently, Ben was seated reportedly next to Courtney.

During the After the Final Rose telecast, fans won’t see a breakup. They won’t see a bitter feud and a split. Rather they will see exactly as spoilers have predicted since December, one man engaged to one woman. But really, will this ever last?

Most viewers are not surprised by what will be shown on Monday. Rather, many contend that Courtney and Ben’s time together as couple is limited, that the relationship won’t last, and that the wedding won’t happen. But if you wondering where that engagement ring goes on Monday, RealitySteve reports than Ben re-proposes to Courtney and she accepts, despite how much that news angers fans.

Fans are becoming less displeased, however, with Courtney. When initial news broke of her winning this season, fans were irate. That anger is more now directed now at Ben. “I do know the other women did not like her because they saw that Ben was completely into her early on and it became nothing but stronger over time… But what did she do so wrong that the other women were not doing?… You have to pull out all the stops to get time, and attention.”

Many fans are coming to the defense of the other women, stating that Ben would have been wrong to choose them. “Kaycee was my favorite but after watching Ben and his behavior, I am glad in the end that she was spared being engaged to him.”

But the biggest causality off the season may not be Courtney but Ben. Many viewers contend he is the most unpopular Bachelor ever.

Many fans assert that he allegedly came into the season with humility and suddenly embraced exactly what he professed to not like. As one fan claims “Ben has proven… to be the least popular bachelor in the history of the show, which may be because we feel some kinship with or pity for him and as such, we expect humility of him as evidenced by his actions.” The assertions don’t end there. “But Ben is not behaving with humility at all in his choices or his treatment of the others. “
