Cover Story: Bachelor's Courtney Robertson Calls Other Girls "Fatty," "Horsey"

Entertainment February 23, 2012 AT 7:45AM By UsWeekly Staff

Courtney Robertson didn't take part in The Bachelor to make friends -- that much is clear -- and she's willing to play dirty to win Ben Flajnik's heart.

Fans may have been stunned when the 28-year-old model wooed Flajnik with a mock wedding ceremony on the February 20 episode, but a source says Robertson went ahead with her vows because she decided fellow finalists Lindzi Cox, 27, Nicki Sterling, 26 and Kacie Boguskie, 24 (who has since been eliminated), didn't stand a chance.

Upon returning to Scottsdale, Ariz., to tape the hometown-visits episode, "Courtney told her family she had it all wrapped up," a Bachelor insider tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands Friday). "She didn't see any competition from, in her words, Horsey, Fatty and the Kid" -- her secret nicknames for Cox, Sterling and Boguskie, respectively.

Though Robertson -- whose celeb exes include former Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe, Entourage actor Adrian Grenier and Reese Witherspoon's CAA agent husband Jim Toth -- admitted during casting that she "doesn't go for guys like Ben," she willed herself to find him attractive.

"If you tell yourself for long enough that you like someone, you will like them," says a source of Robertson, who boldly went braless on a group date and begged Flajnik to skinny dip with her in Puerto Rico.

While her fellow contestants see her as a conniver, Bachelor host Chris Harrison thinks of Robertson differently. "Love is a game, and this is the way Courtney plays," he explains of the bachelorette, who made "Winning!" her mantra.

For much more on how Robertson stroked Flajnik's ego while angering her fellow bachelorettes with her diva demands (she had to take a four-hour nap before dates!), pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands Friday.

The other girls didnt have a chance. he had already made his mind using the wrong 'head'. saddly, the ones who truly loved him genuinely were let go. I guess life is a game. Courtney may win this one, but truly she will forever be a looser. i guess her nickname is 'psycho'. there is no way in hell she is capable of loving anyone but herself.

She will get hers.

Oh, please! This biggest loser here? The whole Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise for making it super-clear that "finding a SOULMATE on their 'journey'" is an hilarious crock. They've just cast the most pathetic and lame-brained dude they could find and then had him led around by his d _ _ _ by a "character" so shallow, transparent, and inarticulate (let's not forget her astounding judgment "she's so PRUDE"). In English the term is "prudish" bee-yoch, and TVs across the country tuned-out permanently weeks ago - mine sure did. How much more of a mockery of love and marriage could the producers of the show and their impossibly idiotic bachelor and bachelorettes possibly make of it? Unless they immediately declare the show's always been satire, then they have permanently outed themselves with mono-syllabic, hang-dog Ben and the venomous Courtney.

Chris Harrison thinks love is game?, of course he would defend Courtney. Chris does'nt want to loose his job....By, the way Chris the show is scripted and you sound like an idiot.

I just cancelled my subscription via my nook after seeing this cover. WHY is ANYONE giving this fame seeker any attention?? She is the very last person I would ever want to read about in any magazine. Goodbye, US.

I'd hate to see Ben fall for the likes of this chick, but, if he's letting his p-----r lead him around, that's on him.

Does everyone believe that Ben was on the show to marry? Trips, food, booze, women, sex and publicity for him. Wait until they go on The Jimmy Kimmel Show. He holds no punches and will totally embarrass the two of them-can't wait.

LOL Nicki is fat??? I must be a whale!

I agree with you Angela.

Sad that she is like that. I wonder what her exes think of her or thought of her when they were with her. You can't buy much class and it is obvious she is lacking though. I guess her family doesn't mind it though, get the money and who cares what people think if you and your family.

Courtney is another Vienna..

Here's a thought~all those who hate Courtney, refuse to buy US ...and any others that feature her! Beg (from a less enlightened friend), borrow (from the library~they all carry them) or "steal" the mag/rag (read it standing in line at your local grocers if you MUST read it). Send US and the other mag/rags that a cover shot of the ^H@R@ will not sell copies!

And we gays are a threat to the sanctity of marriage. Yeah, right!
