Tenley Molzahn

The Bachelor leading man Ben Higgins has been romantically linked to not one, not two, but three women as the new season draws near.

Oh yes. Just before his stint as the ABC franchise standard-bearer, rumors are flying that Ben is not only in a relationship, but a player.

Monday on Bachelor in Paradise Season 2 Episode 4, it was anything but another day in paradise for a number of Bachelor and Bachelorette castoffs.

Brad Womack couldn't find a wife on The Bachelor last time, but the former contestant is confident he'll find someone this time if people will give him a chance.

Tenley Molzahn, who was rejected on the season finale of the show herself (by that stiff Jake Pavelka), believes in Brad as well. To her, the reason is simple.

If you've been watching Bachelor Pad ... we are so, so sorry. But you would know Tenley Molzahn and Kiptyn Locke have some serious chemistry going in that case.

Apparently, the romance kept going after the cameras stopped rolling - at a post-Emmy Awards party Sunday, Kipley debuted as an actual, bona fide couple!

Remember Michelle, the borderline unstable girl who vied for Jake Pavelka's heart on The Bachelor? No? Well, her stint on Bachelor Pad was even shorter.

Early in last night's season premiere, Michelle clashed with Tenley Molzahn, the runner-up that same season, along with other female residents of the Pad.

Millions tuned in to see Jake Pavelka propose to Vienna Girardi on Monday’s season finale of The Bachelor. Most of those millions were pulling for Tenley Molzahn.

In the hours that followed Jake's decision, fans flocked to the Internet, outraged. But Tenley, a 25-year-old college admissions administrator, isn't bitter herself.

The Bachelor finalist Tenley Molzahn couldn't hold back the tears when Jake Pavelka dumped her for Vienna Girardi on Monday night's powerful season finale.

But looking back, she says she's better off, and she's right.

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!

It all comes down to tonight for The Bachelor star Jake Pavelka.

Will he choose Tenley Molzahn, the sweet, effervescent, adorable, squeaky, wonderful girl from a normal Oregon family who seems like she would make the perfect wife in every respect (save for her ex-husband telling Jake to run for it)?

Jake Pavelka is down to two women on The Bachelor, with his final gut-wrenching decision awaiting viewers Monday night on an emotional season finale.

Personality-wise, Tenley Molzahn and Vienna Girardi could not be more different. But they do have this in common: Ex-husbands who say they're nuts!

From the beginning of the season, The Hollywood Gossip has been covering every second of the contrived, but entertaining action that is ABC's The Bachelor.

The traditional pre-season finale "Women Tell All" reunion special of The Bachelor is always mostly filler - and a total misnomer, as they really tell surprisingly little.

Still, there were fireworks as Rozlyn Papa returned to confront Chris Harrison and the stage was set for next week's epic Tenley Molzahn-Vienna Girardi showdown.

Jake Pavelka traveled to St. Lucia with his three remaining women on The Bachelor last night. Despite the best efforts of Gia Allemand and a last-ditch do-over request by Ali Fedotowsky, he narrowed the field to just two lucky ladies:

Tenley Molzahn and Vienna Girardi.

Is Tenley Molzahn the sweet, genuine cutie she appears to be on The Bachelor? Not according to her ex-husband's mistress, to whom he is now engaged!

One of Bachelor Jake Pavelka's frontrunners all season and one of his final three heading down the stretch, Tenley is a fan favorite ... but for how long?

Jake Pavelka toured the hometowns and met the families of his remaining four women on The Bachelor last night. From New York to Oregon, everything went well.

Until Ali Fedotowsky dropped the biggest bombshell in Bachelor history, that is. Well, except for last summer on The Bachelorette when the same thing happened.

She was kicked off The Bachelor after an "inappropriate relationship" with a crew member (which probably never happened), but Rozlyn Papa is over it now.

Producer Ryan Callahan was fired over his alleged dalliances with Rozlyn, although the exact nature of their relationship has always been disputed. Oh well.

Vienna Girardi has The Bachelor all but wrapped up, if last night is any indication. Jake Pavelka is wrapped around her finger and the other girls are at their wits' end.

As always, THG staff members endured Jake's latest trials and tribulations on The Bachelor to recap all the action for you with our exclusive point system below ...

Jake Pavelka's quest for a life partner continued last night, and The Hollywood Gossip staff endured The Bachelor to recap it for you with our exclusive point system.

Awarding and deducting scores as we deem fit, here's THG's take on last night's episode, which saw a very serious Jake narrow his field of contestants to five:

Despite making every episode two freaking hours long, The Bachelor apparently didn't have time to air the bombshell scene it spent the past week promoting.

Conveniently, that scene was edited, manipulated nonsense.

As usual, The Hollywood Gossip staff endured The Bachelor last night to bring you our official recap, with points awarded/docked according to our scientific system.

In the season's third episode, Vienna Girardi emerged as a frontrunner, and Michelle became even more insane. Here's THG's take on that and so much more ...
