In an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, Season 16 Bachelor Ben Flajnik shared a few qualities he’s looking for in a woman. Now we all know that Ben is coached to say certain things, so it’s seems silly to expect him to give us any revelatory clues about his final choice. However, at times, information can come through involuntarily when the person least expects it. Sigmund Freud referred to this phenomenon as the slips of the tongue. The question is: did Ben make a verbal faux pas revealing his final choice?
Consider the following:
When Entertainment Tonight inquired what would be a relationship deal-breaker for Ben, he replied: “The only deal-breaker I could think of is a woman who didn’t want to move back to Northern California.”
But wait a minute … pay attention to the phrase “a woman who didn’t want to move back to Northern California.” Perhaps Ben meant that the only deal-breaker he could think of is a woman who didn’t want to move to Northern California. The phrase “to move back” specifically refers to a person who used to live in Northern California. Knowing that Ben’s final two girls are Courtney and Lindzi, his verbal slip seems to point toward Lindzi.
Here is my reasoning:
Courtney Robertson was born and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona. She is currently living in Santa Monica, California. Courtney was discovered at age 17, working in Abercrombie & Fitch. Since then she’s been a busy model! Besides possible modeling projects, there is simply no evidence suggesting she ever lived in Northern California.
However, Lindzi Cox used to live in Clovis, CA; she graduated from Fresno State University. Different internet sources indicate that she currently lives in Seattle, WA where she works as a business development manager and rides horses in her free time. Thus, the phrase “to move back to Northern California” seems to be more applicable to Lindzi. I also believe that Lindzi would be willing to move back to Northern California if she is indeed the recipient of Ben’s final rose.
In addition, Ben told Entertainment Tonight that he likes a woman who doesn’t mind getting dirty:
“It’s important for me to be with a woman who enjoys the outdoors [...] Roughing it a few days here and there is really important to me.”
Well, that’s totally Lindzi. If you recall, Lindzi is very comfortable with dirt. In fact, in episode 2 she made a confession about dirt being her makeup!
As for Courtney, I just can’t imagine this high-maintenance model getting dirty.
