Vienna Girardi: The Bachelor Winner! Engaged to Jake Pavelka on Season Finale!
On an epic season finale, even by The Bachelor standards, Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi decided to spend eternity together. Tears of joy flowed as he proposed.
Congrats, guys! We give it at least a couple of weeks!
Despite her best efforts, Tenley Molzahn could not compare to Vienna, a pariah all season long but a free spirit who has always had a vice grip on Jake's heart.
Our traditional point-system recap of Monday night's shocking events - and the most difficult decision Jake Pavelka will EVER have to make - appears below ...
Jake reflects that Tenley seems so perfect but he has this "lightning-hot chemistry" with Vienna Girardi. Minus 4, because no one talks like this dolt. No one.
Tenley and Jake jump in the pool with all their clothes on. So totally unrehearsed and totally romantic! Plus 8. The rest of the family joins them. Minus 8.
Sallie, Jake's mom, is not a fan of Vienna. Her weird sarcasm and lack of anything nice to say is really making it awkward. Funny how that works. Plus 2.
Jake thinks his fam's opinion is because he set Vienna up to fail, telling them Vienna was not well-liked in the house. Dude, you are delusional. Minus 5.
Vienna and Jake make out and rub mud all over each other. Plus 17, because this belongs on Cinemax late night and took place on ABC at 8:40 EST.
On the boat, Jake worries he and Tenley have emotional chemistry but he feels no physical chemistry. Tenley sighs, "I feel it." Ouch. Poor girl. Minus 10.
The best production assistant creation of the night goes to the photo collage Tenley "made" for Jake. Honorable mention? Vienna's promise ring. Plus 9.
Shirtless Jake tries to look contemplative on the balcony. Neil Lane arrives and the network makes it look like Jake and Neil are BFFs somehow. Plus 17.
Tenley Molzahn is first to hear Jake's decision. Kiss of death. Minus 250 for the wrong choice, and because she "appreciates his honesty." Preposterous.
Vienna arrives and Jake gives back her promise ring, a total fake-out move before he proposes for real. Plus 125 for the writer who thought up that one.
On "After the Final Rose," Jake calls Vienna, who is moving to Dallas with him, his "baby" and says they have "so much heat." We're creeped out. Minus 11.
Chris talks about what a "maverick" Jake is. Sarah Palin rolls in grave. Plus 7.
As predicted, the new star of The Bachelorette is Ali Fedotowsky! Plus 20.
Oh yeah, and Jake has actually been cast on the new season of Dancing with the Stars. Is this a great addition to reality competition? Or a case of ABC forever giving up the farce that The Bachelor is about finding love and not ratings? Eh, we love it. Plus 100.
TOTAL: +17. SEASON: +26.
Will Jake and Vienna last?

yes its me again im so shocked on what everyone has written about vienna she is not a bad person Ali was the one that made her out to be, just because she was so up front, at least she was honest theres no way in hell im going to be watching the Bachelorette Ali don't deserve that chance as se hurt jakes heart as her job was so important so whats going to stop her from this show i think Gia would have been the best choice she was a lovely person, Tenley (yes all you people thats how you spell it not with an "I") is so not ready for a relationship shes just on the rebound finding something just to heal her heart for the mean time she needs to be true to herself why come on a show like this when knowing it could break her heart again shes just tryna find some healing. she is a lovely girl i know but not her place to be. well any way leave Jake and Vienna alone its not any of our places to say whats right for him he has made his choice and i think its great i loved her from the start at l

He should have picked tinley Vienna is just a horrible person

Everyone need to back of and leave the couple alone. The tabloids lie. Jake and Vienna really love each other, which is very obvious. They will make it just fine as long as the media leaves them alone and stays out of there life. Vienna may have had mistakes in the past but haven't we all. Would you want to be judged according to your past mistakes? Congratulations to the couple!! Have a very happy life being so in love!

Tenley's voice would get on my nerves if I had to hear it, day in or day out!! Viena is fun loving! Jake saw this side to her!! Good for him. Lisa no calling people sluts..what goes around..comes around!! So glad Jake saw through the nastiness of the other contestants and picked the best..and forgot the rest!@!
