'Bachelor' Jake Pavelka on Vienna Girardi: 'I want to chase her down the beach naked'
"Bachelor" Jake Pavelka proposed to Vienna Girardi on the season finale. Find how the couple is doing since the show wrapped three months ago.

On the way Vienna was portrayed on the show
Vienna: Watching it back was very difficult for me. There wasn't one particular thing the girls didn't like about me, they just didn't like me ... I feel that everyone's personalities are very amplified when watching it, so when you see something happen, it did happen that way but it's more dramatic when you're watching it on television. I may have been portrayed as villainous, but I didn't show any villainous qualities. I'm not that way at all.
Jake: Vienna and Tenley were the only two women in the entire season that didn't trash-talk the other women and that was so greatly appreciated. Nobody ever told me exactly what Vienna was doing wrong. "Well, we just don't like her. She's not good for you." "Well that's great, tell me why." ... If there are particular reason,s that's fine, I'll listen to what you have to say, but the broad generalizations I wasn't really interested in.
On Tenley
Vienna: Tenley is an absolutely incredible young woman and she and I will be lifelong friends. I knew going into this that Jake was going to fall for more than one woman, but I'm the one he fell in love with. I pray that she finds love.
Jake: Tenley's going to marry a prince.
Vienna: She needs to find a real prince.
On Ali as the next Bachelorette
Vienna: I'm really excited for her.
Jake: The thing is you want is a Bachelorette that will wear her emotions on her sleeve. She did so much growing and maturing on "The Bachelor" and I think she's going to be amazing. I just know in my heart she's going to find the man of her dreams.
On their plans now that Jake is on "Dancing with the Stars"
Jake: We had originally planned to move to Dallas as soon as ["The Bachelor"] was over. We had an opportunity come up --
Vienna: We couldn't say no to it.
Jake: The opportunity of a lifetime, so we're going to temporarily reside in Los Angeles, but once I'm off the show--
Vienna: Or he wins!
Jake: We're gonna go back to Dallas.
On their future wedding
Jake: We are officially engaged, it wasn't for TV or for show. However, it was an accelerated journey ... We don't have a date yet, but we want to get all the little moments that build a relationship. We're engaged, but we haven't seen our first movie yet! We have a lot of catch-up to do but I could marry her right this minute.
On a possible televised wedding
Jake: I don't think that we would've ever met each other had it not been for "The Bachelor." ... We look at ABC and Warner and definitely the people of "The Bachelor" as our family. We love them very deeply and couldn't imagine proceeding in a wedding without having our great friends there. Whether they bring cameras, who knows? We're stoked about Jason adn Molly, they're going to be a long-lasting relationship.
Will they dance to "On the Wings of Love" at their wedding?
[After they both stop singing...]
Vienna: We'll definitely dance to it at our wedding.
What have they been doing since the finale taped
Vienna: We finished filming about three months ago and Jake and I have been able to see each other every other week for four or five days. We stay in a beautiful house.
Jake: I felt like we were in the witness protection program, we had aliases, it was awesome ... Like Vienna said, it's every week, every two weeks and it's just really good times. No cameras, you're by yourself, you have time to talk about life and liberty and love.
Vienna: We're really getting to know each other on a different level, but we're ready to get out in the real world and see a movie, have some normalcy.
Jake: I want to date my fiance for awhile, I want to chase her down the beach naked. Right now we're in this puppy love phase ... I'm just trying to relish and solidify the next 60 years of our lives.
Vienna: We're thinking at least a year or two [before getting married] and kids four or five years at least. We want to do some traveling, have some time together first.
Jake: But you never know what's going to happen by accident. [laughs] It would be a blessing.

Zap2it Elite Sheet Must Reads from the Web's In-Crowd



This about made me barf. Jake deserves her and any tricks she pulls on him. I like Jason and Molly and love Jillian. Melissa is a fake and publicity hound. She got what she wanted and Jason definitely took the high road and never bad mouthed her. Their relationship was over LONG before their "break up tv show". Yea Molly!!
Eww, that was about the most nauseating thing I've ever read. They lack genuineness. "We're so in love..." *giggle giggle* What are we, five? It irked me that Vienna was like...Tenley is an amazing "young woman", as if Vienna is years older than her. PS, Tenley is older and more more mature. Anyway, that's how I feel about that.
after reading this, it made me actually like jake & vienna together. they seem really happy. don't judge me :)
"Jake: Tenley's going to marry a prince.
Vienna: She needs to find a *real* prince."
Unlike the *fake* prince you got?
"Vienna: Tenley is an absolutely incredible young woman...."
This coming from Vienna??
Tenley is the winner!! She almost got connected to a guy who just want's to be physical and that is all he seemed to care about. Tenley is Highest class player in the whole series. She should consider herself lucky to have excaped. She will find a great person someday!!!
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Yes, Tenley was the most down to earth of all the women and deserves a great guy. She is deep and expresses herself with real inner emotion
What bothered me the most was that Tenley came right out and told Jake's mother about her past, yet we never saw any of that with Vienna. If she couldn't be honest with her future family, why should we believe that the tabloid stories aren't true. Jake spent too much time defending Vienna and didn't have the guts to tell Tenley that she wasn't the one because she had standards. What a creep.
What a joke and how long do people really think these two are going to last? Look at the first picture above...she's about to pick his pockets for money. She's a real treasure, good gravy!!
i love vienna.She is great girl
