If you watch "The Bachelor", there's endless talk  about "amazing journeys" and "connections" but none of that seems to translate  to REAL life.

Over the weekend, the latest "Bachelor" BEN FLAJNIK  and his "Chosen One" COURTNEY ROBERTSON announced they've  officially ended their relationship.  This means "The Bachelor" is  now 0-for-16 in creating lasting relationships.

Ben confirmed the split, but didn't elaborate on the situation.  This  isn't a surprise though . . . in addition to it being a "Bachelor"  relationship, there was talk that things weren't working out WHILE his season  was airing.

He'd apparently been caught with other women, and on the finale he admitted  that things with Courtney had been "a rough ride".They gave it a go as a  long-distance relationship over the summer.
