The Bachelorette's Ali: Flip-Flopper Frank "Did Not Affect My Final Decision"

If you think The Bachelorette's adorable Ali Fedotowsky was forced into her final two because of Frank's late-in-the-game revelation, think again.

"I am so glad you asked that question," the (potentially) lovelorn lady tells us. "I have never been asked that, and I can say with 100 percent certainty that Frank leaving did not affect my final decision." Whew! That's a relief.

Now, about those remaining studs...


Some might say that Ali's strong emotional reaction to Frank's decision to bail on televised love shows he was the clear front-runner and Roberto and Chris L. were the leftovers. But not so says Ali.

"There were so many things that were going through my mind. The first being upset in general because I had really strong feelings for Frank, but also I just wondered if the whole journey was going to work out for me."
Plus, Frank's little fiasco dredged up some not-so-fun feelings for the Bachelorette.

"I felt defeated with everything," Ali explains. "I've been hurt in the way Frank hurt me before. I had an ex that actually reminded me of Frank, who in the past left me for an ex-girlfriend. I know now in retrospect there's nothing wrong with me, but at the time I couldn't help but feel that way."

Needless to say, she's back and better than ever. But before the finale, Ali has to face her eliminated loves at the yet-to-be-taped The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose special—a feat she's actually excited about.

 "It's the first time that whatever I am, whether I'm single or I'm engaged or I'm with someone, I get to be that," says Ali excitedly. "I've been living this secret life for the past three months, and I'm just excited to be whatever I am."

And? "And of course I'm going to see Frank for the first time, which is going to be interesting, how that turns out. I'm intrigued to see what he has to say, and how he's feeling."

Aren't we all, girlfriend?

Ali Fedotowsky: Confident in Her Decision

According to Us Weekly, The Bachelorette star Ali Fedotowsky ends up engaged on the show's August 2 finale, and is now planning an early 2011 wedding.

According to The Bachelorette spoilers we've read? Not the case.

There are conflicting reports, clearly, regarding what the blonde cutie will do when the field stands at just two and that final rose is ready to be doled out.

Some, including the aforementioned tabloid, cite anonymous sources and vague quotes to "prove" she's engaged. Other sources claim she's quite single.

What does Ali herself have to say about it right now? "I'm just confident in the decisions I made," Fedotowsky told ET Thursday at an event in Hollywood.

Hmm ...

On this past Monday's episode, she booted Kirk DeWindt and narrowed her choices to this trio: Roberto Martinez, Chris Lambton, and Frank Neuschaefer.

As for which two make it to the season finale?

"Both guys have so much integrity," Ali Fedotowsky said. "They are stand-up, honorable and have a lot of respect for others. I just think they are men."

In other words, Frank is toast. Two-timing jerk.

She added, "They're the type of guys that any mother or father dream that their daughter would find. I think that's what makes them really great guys!"

Wow, spoiler alert! A little warning next time?

The reality star is looking forward to the finale being over. "I'm sort of in limbo right now.... I'm really looking forward to everything sort of wrapping up!"

Who should Ali choose on The Bachelorette?

DeAnna Pappas to Ali Fedotowsky: Pick Roberto!

Three great guys remain after last night's hometown dates, and The Bachelorette star Ali Fedotowsky faces tougher and tougher decisions every week.

But former star DeAnna Pappas is totally on Team Roberto.

"They have so much chemistry," she says of Ali and Roberto Martinez, whose time in his native Tampa, Fla., featured a (literal) trip around the bases.

"You can tell she really likes him," DeAnna says. "When she gave him a hug and straddled him... He's good looking and seems like the total package."

"His family was wonderful and [Ali] seemed comfortable."

Will the season end with an Ali Fedotowsky-Roberto Martinez engagement?

"Ali is still a little standoffish with everyone," DeAnna Pappas adds, noting that the star seems nervous. "But for Roberto, I think, she's coming around. They're holding hands more, she's cuddling more, and the kisses seem more natural."

She also had high marks for Ali's Cape Cod visit with Chris Lambton: "They had a nice little makeout session at the end. He climbs higher and higher in my book. I think the chemistry is growing, but at first it was hard to tell."

"At least on Chris' part ... I think he's a great candidate for The Bachelor."

No arguments here.

"As much as I like Chris L., I don't think she chooses him in the end," Pappas adds. "I think Chris is the safer choice, but she's infatuated with Roberto."

As for the third man left standing, Frank Neuschaefer, DeAnna says run for it! "Frank is leading her on," Pappas says. Where would she get that idea? (thehollywoodgossip)

Ali Fedotowsky: Engaged (According to Tabloid)!

The Bachelorette star Ali Fedotowsky may have hinted that she ends up alone after this season, but could she just be playing it coy? That's Us Weekly's theory.

The celebrity gossip publication "confirms" (term used very loosely) there's a proposal on the season finale - and the gorgeous Massachusetts native accepts!

For all we know, it's a proposal by Chris Harrison to join him for a glass of water during a five-minute break from filming - but congratulations in any case!

"She's already thinking about the details," a source says - and she's SO excited! "She did the show because she was ready to settle down and get married."

Us claims the former Facebook ad rep is planning a West Coast wedding in early 2011. Who's the lucky guy? The anonymous sources aren't saying, natch.

Is Ali Fedotowsky really engaged - and to whom?

Unlike that stiff Jake Pavelka, who gushed about being engaged throughout the season, Ali's remarks have been of the "I'm happy with my decision" variety.

Some believe that's code for "I'm still single."

Reports that Ali Fedotowsky is already dating some other guy (Patrick Hammon) also cast doubt on any Bachelorette engagement stories, don't you think?

We're obviously not in the know as far as the specifics, but our gut reaction is to call BS on this story. There are only vague details and no sourced quotes.

For more on who Ali chooses, check out The Bachelorette spoilers ... but don't say we didn't warn you, these are serious giveaways, read at your own risk.
