Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson: Will it Last?

To the surprise of no one and the dismay of nearly everyone, Courtney Robertson took home the final rose on The Bachelor season finale Monday night.
The most interesting part of the evening came afterward.
On the After the Final Rose special, taped on March 4 and airing right after Ben Flajnik got down on one knee, the couple revealed to host-pimp Chris Harrison that Ben actually dumped Courtney last month ... only to get re-engaged!

What prompted the split? Ben Flajnik watching his model fiancee act like such a petulant, obnoxious psycho b!tch on The Bachelor this season, basically.
Surprisingly (and it seemed quite genuine ... if this was an act for the cameras it was a darn good one) the two patched things up after their breakup.
Ben said he knows Courtney Robertson regrets her behavior and he should've stuck by his bride-to-be through this difficult time, rather than run for the hills.
And hooking up with some other girl, which he denied in the ATFR taping. Whatever. In case there was any doubt, he put the ring BACK on her last night.
All very interesting. What do you think? Do you believe in Courtney and Ben? Will these two make it to the altar and live happily ever after? Vote in our poll:
Will Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson last?

Ben Flajnik: Kissing Hilaire Fouts and Alison McGlone After Split From Courtney Robertson

The Bachelor's Ben Flajnik adamantly denied - swore on his father's grave, no less - that he kissed other girls during his brief time apart from Courtney Robertson.
These photos clearly show him kissing Alison McGlone and Hilaire Fouts, however.
Here's the deal: Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson got engaged on the finale ... but he dumped her after seeing what a psycho she was throughout the season.
They were apart for a period in February, when the pics (below) were taken.
Courtney and Ben reconciled soon after, but he still swore up and down after The Bachelor finale that he didn't stray from her at any point. Why?
Ben kissed Hilaire Fouts (not pictured) after bar-hopping in San Francisco on February 17. Ben was seen kissing an unidentified woman (red pants) after the bars closed.
Doesn't look like the way you kiss a "friend," does it? Ben was later seen being escorted home by another woman (Fouts), who left the next morning in the same clothes.
The following night, Flajnik was seen on a romantic late night dog walk with another woman, Alison McGlone (above, center and right) whom he could be seen kissing.
Note that there is ass-grabbing going. Not "friend" material. Early the next day, Alison McGlone was seen leaving his house and walking home ... in the same clothes.
Again, he and Court had split up during this window. But he may have also blatantly lied on TV. Pure celebrity gossip fodder, perhaps. But that doesn't mean it's false.
It all makes you wonder ... will Ben and Courtney last?
