‘The Bachelor’ picks wrong girl

Bachelor

Jake Pavelka shocked viewers when he proposed to Vienna Girardi on ‘The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love.’

On the latest "Bachelor" finale, pilot Jake Pavelka shocked viewers with his choice of proposing to the widely disliked Vienna Girardi.

Girardi not only rubbed her fellow contestants the wrong way but also annoyed the majority of "The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love" fans with her bluntness and lack of manners.

Viewers were shocked each week as Girardi continued to receive a rose from Pavelka, despite the warnings from the other women.

However, the biggest shock came when he chose the obnoxious Girardi over the seemingly perfect Tenley Molzahn.

Although Molzahn was also annoying, with her childlike voice and frequent breakdowns over her ex, she seemed like the better choice and the more moral of the two women.

Even Pavelka's mom disliked Girardi upon first meeting her due to her inability to hold an intelligent conversation and tendency to trash the other contestants and inappropriately flirt with Pavelka in front of his parents.

Molzahn on the other hand, made Pavelka's parents cry tears of joy during an emotional heart-to-heart.

As far as the contestants' families go, Pavelka also fell short in that category–with a creepy biker dad that would scare most pursuers away.

Despite Girardi's flaws, Pavelka seemed to be a bit off some of the time, too.

Aside from his good looks and success, he showed some awkward and downright weird moments during the season and confirmed his weirdness when he shared that his nickname was "Mr. Dateless."

The best choice would've been the most normal of the contestants, Ali Fedotowsky, who is set to be the next Bachelorette but must have also sensed Pavelka's flaws when she chose her career over the show.

Throughout the season it became more and more obvious why Pavelka kept Girardi around: the sex.

"That playful, physical connection" Pavelka tried to explain to Molzahn that was missing, was the clingy, desperate and, well, trashiness, which is Girardi.

Molzahn made the mistake of reiterating the fact that she had only slept with one man, her ex-husband and planned to stay abstinent until she was married again.

At the same time, the cameras were catching Girardi sneaking into Pavelka's bedroom with wine.

Not only was she more aggressive than the other contestants, but felt the need to boast about the "quality time" she spent with the bachelor.

Actions like these made it easy for the audience to figure out something that Girardi never could: why her fellow contestants couldn't stand her.

When asked why she believed she was dumped for Girardi on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Molzahn described Pavelka as someone who "likes that physical level taken care of first."

Sounds like Pevelka's best match would've been Rozlyn Papa who was kicked off for getting caught having an inappropriate relationship with a producer of the show.

Whatever the case may be, bachelor Pevelka lost all respect from viewers and left audiences wondering what he saw in airhead Girardi, whose past hobbies include working as a Hooters girl, posing half-nude as an aspiring lingerie model and sneaking money out of her ex-husband's bank account for breast enhancement surgery while he was deployed in Iraq.

I hope Pavelka enjoys a long, happy marriage with his classy bride.

first of all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And a person could fall in love with someone that is even handicapped or in a wheelchair.. Just because someone "looks" the prettiest--doesn't mean their the right choice. Vienna is a very attractive women---people keep comparing her to all the other girls---it's a PERSONAL OPINION PEOPLE!! AND THATS ALL IT IS!! shouldn't be judging Jake as a person either. NONE OF US KNOW HIM!! and for Tenley to say that to Ellen wasn't right. HE picked Vienna because he simply had a better connection to her, and yes, that does include on a physical level as well. Your suppose to have a physical connection to the person your engaged to. There's NOTHING WRONG with that!! And did it occur to any of you---that maybe some of the things written about Vienna weren't true!!??, maybe there's another side to the story!!
Have any of you even considered that at all?! Judge someone because they worked at hooters when they were young?? Ali was the worse behaved in the house. And look at the people---they "ADORE HER" go and figure that out!! You all need to stop and think!!!

i agree with you-i couldn't believe jake picked v. that's ok, gia was way too good for him-i too wish she would have been the next bachelorette. ali is so fake-i saw her face forcing herself to cry, but didn't see many tears. she tried to pull an ed, from what he did with jillian. i'm not watching her next season-not interested. gia-i wish you all the best! you're a great beautiful woman, and when you least expect it, the man you're meant to be with will be standing right in front of you.

Guess you never felt that kind of attraction with anyone before to say all those things.. too bad for you. Vienna and Jake were simply attracted to each other...they had alot of fun to say the least and why not. Vienna did nothing wrong, she was totally honest and the other girls couldn't stand her stealing their thunder. She has an outgoing personality that the others didn't like and Ali was totally jealous of it. Gia was sweet but perhaps too much high maintenance for him..Vienna is down to earth. A nice girl..has a bachelor's degree, did volunteer and charity work and I wish I could go back in time and be young and in love again...Read stories and believe what you want to, but now that it's over, let's just be happy and move on.

Vienna threw herself at Jake so bad it was disgustung. Why he picked her is beyond me. His mother had her pegged right from the start. Actually, what I do not understand is all the fixation on Ali and Tenley. When it was down to three, Gia absolutley would have been his best choice. No one seems to mention Gia and she really would have made the best Bachorlerette. She has class, maturity, an already established career as a model, who is really loookiing for Mr. Right. Why Jake kept mentioning her $1,000 shoes and did not know if she could fit in with the locals on the Island made me think that he was afraid that he may actually fall in love with Gia. I really think she scared him. She would shine brighter than him. Gia, is never mentioned even tho she clearly had the most class and really was on the show to find love. ABC made a mistake picking Ali over Gia, and I am beginning to wonder if this season of the Bachelor was all staged for ratings. And now Jake on Dancing with the Stars? What the heck is up with that? Vienna, you are nothing but a fling to him. He is looking for Hollywood Fame but soon, you will both be gone. I hope Jake is voted off first on Dancing with the Stars, He is not a star and this season should be called Dancing with Nobody's. Jake loves the publicity as he is looking for his own stupid show too. Vienna is an immature joke and this so called romance will be over soon. When he sent Gia home, I was like Gag me!! What a fool. ABC picking Ali made me sick. If Ali had to leave the show for her job how in the heck can she be the Bachlorette without leaving it too for her job. This is all a joke. Jake, Vienna is sickening and you only want one thing. You will tire of her soon and realize your Mother was right!!

I will not be watching either shows. I only started watching the Bachelor again after all the publicity over the scandals it was getting right from the start. The cast ABC picked for both shows, give me a break. Why does everyone think Ali is so frigging great? Their ratings will fall flat for both shows. I willl enjoy seeing Jake get voted off right away. After that,. it's not worth my time to watch either show, especially Ali as the Bachlorette. Another Joke ABC!!. Gia, would by far have made the best Bachorette and actually raise your raitings!!
