Can't have it both ways, Casey!

Ben Flajnik's search for love hit a snag on Monday's episode of The Bachelor when he was blindsided by 26-year-old Casey's stunning admission that she still had feelings for an old boyfriend back home.

After Flajnik went on a group date led by a flirty, bikini-less Courtney and chose Rachel over Blakeley in an awkward two-on-one date, he was forced to make a snap decision as to Casey's fate on the show.

Told by three separate people that the bachelorette still had strong feelings for a man she called her ex-boyfriend, Bachelor host Chris Harrison insisted Casey admit her hesitation to Flajnik. Arguing she was "completely in love" with her ex, Casey couldn't deal with the fact that he wouldn't marry her. "I broke up with him because he wasn't going to compromise and then we got back together. Maybe I should be in therapy," she reasoned.

When Casey spoke with Flajnik, he quickly dismissed her -- and with good reason. "I wish you would have been more honest with me earlier on. There were women who I sent home who genuinely wanted to be here," Flajnik said. "I don't sugarcoat things and I think you should go home."

Flajnik's seven remaining bachelorettes went into the rose ceremony with mixed feelings. There was Courtney, who "was feeling pretty awesome," and then there was self-professed "prude" Jamie, who pulled out all the stops to seduce Flajnik at the last-minute cocktail party.

Up against Emily for the final rose, Jamie knew she didn't stand a chance, especially after her wacky PDA. "The funny thing about love is that I'm so scared of it, but it's the one thing that I want," she said, packing her bags. "I [tried] to be vulnerable and let him have me, but I don't think he thought that was cute."

    BEN IS NOT THINKING WITH HIS HEART AT THIS TIME AND WILL GO DOWN IN FLAMES. AND YES LOVE IS BLIND IN HIS CASE.

    She had no chance anyway. If it was one of the front runners he would have kept her.

    I'm an open minded girl from US, Recently, I found a cool place -- ? Tal l Loving .c? m -?- where many tall people chatting there. I also like discuss fashion and love with tall guys on it! it's the most effective site in the world to connect with, date and marry tall people.. It's worthy a try.

    Didn't they start filming this season within 2 months of him proposing to another woman that he was in love with?!?!?! Either he wasn't really in love with Ashely when he proposed to her or maybe he was trying to get over her by moving on and finding someone that wanted to be with him....just as Casey was doing. I think Bachelor needed some more drama this season, dug up the fact that she had recently broken up with a guy and threw her under the bus. The show makes me sick.

    Oh and one more thing: he quickly dismissed her is true and so mean because he claimed that other people were genuine and wanted to be there. Casey also wanted to be there. She never said that. Truthfully after last night I really think all these girls, even Courtney deserve better. He is a good guy but has a lot of maturing to do.

    Casey is darling and appears to be genuinely sweet (and very confused). I hope people won't judge her harshly because it's obvious she is a very nice young lady who just needs to step back and re-evaluate her relationship with her 'ex'.

    Ben was actually really mean to her last night. She was very nice and admitted that while when she came on the show she was fully broken up with her ex, Michael she did have some feelings for him still that she wish she didn't have. Casey so sincere. I am sorry but on this one: Ben and the Bachelor are the bad guys and Casey is the innocent one.

    Who can believe this - my best friend's step-aunt makes $73 a hour on the computer. She has been laid off for 8 months but last month her paycheck was $8367 just working on the computer for a few hours. For more on this site... http://is.gd/imVkfm
