Updates on Past Contestants - All Seasons - Discussion - #2

That's crazy that she's still friends with Ben F's sister, since she was pretty harsh about their mom in the book. I listened to an interview Ben did not that long ago and he still seemed pissed.

I've heard her talk about turning down a reality TV show before, that was centered on her life, which is always weird to me, since she's kind of old-news and none of the new people seem to be getting these offers. I guess it's because of her celebrity connections. I remember Adrian Grenier talking about her comments about him on WWHL.

I actually really like Courtney since reading her book. I wasn't so much a fan on the show but I can understand her social awkwardness better now and her competitive nature. I'm glad she is in a serious relationship and has a life close to her family.

I actually enjoyed listening to her on the podcast. Being on the show really didn't do her life any favors. Good for her putting it in the perspective it deserves. Kind of "funny" she thinks some of the producers are friends. I really don't think they are any contestant's friend, but they sure want them to think so. IMO

Yeah, its weird that a lot of contestants do. But anyways, I think she was pretty good friends with Amy Bean who used to be a producer.

Okay I am listening to the podcast now and again, I like Courtney. She seems very open and honest and she can own up to her mistakes. She has good perspective on the whole bachelor fiasco. What a contrast to Andi who did none of this but still acts like a victim.

I really enjoyed the podcast with Courtney and thought she came off as very real and likeable.

Lesley Murphy. I want her job! Anyone know what exactly she does? Who's funding all that travel? Does she have a photographer following her around? Inquiring minds .

She has a travel blog. She gets paid by airlines, hotels, places to visit and then write/post about it. Her job would be fun for about a month but the living out of a suitcase for over a year would get old real quick for me. Lol

Dude, I want her job too. She even stays in luxurious places. She was always one of my fave contestants-very likeable.

She gets paid to write for her blog/IG or actual articles in publications? Either way, that seems like a sweet gig considering she doesn't have too high a following and her writing isn't extraordinary. I'm super jealous! She comes from a pretty affluent family, IIRC, so I wonder if she had any connections that way.

She definitely travels more luxuriously than the average travel blogger. And she really doesn't even seem to be super good at it . She's just there. I couldn't remember what she was doing before her season.

Wasn't she doing something politics related before the Bachelor?
