Courtney Robertson & Humberto Preciado - Bachelor 16 - Discussion

I don't believe the condom thing, not because I think tptb are so into their contestants' sexual health but because there would be way more Bach babies running around on the atfrs and not just those belonging to the married couples either.

ITA Alanna... and haven't we heard from someone who won one of the bachelorette "gift bags" that it came with a jeweled condom case along with condoms. I can't remember who it was but it was back in the FORT days.

See--   the theory rulez!
Ripped from the headlines(or at least this one page).
The Hamburger theory is alive and well and working it's magic on TB!!

For anyone to make excuses as to why they don't have condoms, indicates their lack of self respect.

Ick. I could have lived without this in my brain. So happy Ben has moved on and seems to have a great gal.

I guess I'm not getting it. Why is it someone else's responsible for a person's own birth control/sexual health?? I understand they were not able to run down to the corner drugstore but if they didn't think to bring something with them "just in case" then they could have abstained….like you do in everyday life.

I sooooo hope the condom part is not true, and that TPTB sue her for any money she makes off this thing.  Otherwise, aren't they opening the flood gates?  If it is true, I have no words.

I never cared to follow anything Courtney or Ben to know what was going on with them. As for her 'tell all' book, I'll pass. Just another reason why I can't stand this franchise.

ITA. Especially in a situation where a) you have already skinny dipped with a guy and gotten pretty close to intimacy b) you already know what douches TPTB can be. Why would you hold them responsible for anything??

Just an aside if anyone is a Romber fan(Survivor--Rob and Amber) I had heard from a very reliable source that CBS provided condoms for them and they waited until they were the final 2 (and had assured privacy from producers) before considering as Sheldon Cooper would say "coitus". ( I hope this term does not offend anyone).

We know what douches TPTB can be, but do the contestants know when they sign up for the show?  I would say no.  As Juan Pablo has said, they wined and dined him to get him to sign on the dotted line; he had no idea what he was getting into regarding TPTB.

I guess what I'm saying is by the time Courtney was in the position for FD, she had been home for HTD and certainly could have prepped for the possibility of future intimacy. I mean you get your hair restyled or colored or get waxing done in prep for FD, but you don't think about birth control/std issues, if you have already been hot and heavy??
And certainly by this time, she had to also have had some inkling as to true colors(production). Either way, I would never leave something so important to chance.

I could care less about Courtney's sexual exploits, but I do remember CH saying in one of his many interviews that they do provide condoms and by the end of the show the supply is depleted.

Maybe Ben is one of those guys who prefer to ride bareback and he hid the condoms!
