what? no bachelor jake thread? - Page 3

[Awaken]

yikes, you really have me curious now! i refuse to be spoiled, tho, so won't read the site! i am guessing he picks Gia or vienna if you can't see him with his choice! I am voting tenley all the way! they seem like carbon copies.

i agree about the editing- they really haven't shown why vienna is SO bad- mildly annoying, forward, and young, sure, but anything that explains this universal strong dislike!

I really grew not to like Ali as much after this episode- of course when Jake confronted her about her not liking V, she was all like "oh I support you in whoever you choose!"

[lotus.blossom]

I'm really into this season for some reason. I think that Jake is one of the most genuine bachelors. Some of them have been so smarmy! I didn't think I would like him based on watching the Bachelorette. I thought he was a bit of a wuss (really don't like his nice guys finish last routine) but he surprised me!

Anyway, just saw the last episode and I have to say I am a fan of Gia. Although after checking out the reality steve site I might change my mind. He posted a pretty sexy video of her. Pre plastic surgery. She looks a lot different...... I think that Tenley is cute but maybe too cutesy. Ali is just too catty. And Vienna.....I agree with the PP that said she can't stand watching her talk. I squirm everytime I see her. I know its shallow of me to say this but they put themselves out there. She has weird cross eyes. And her George Washington hair at the last rose ceremony? I just can't even imagine him being attracted to her.

I was TOTALLY thinking the same thing! Her hair was so bizarre for the cocktail party! She looks so much better in her natural state! And why is she so bronze?! And yes, the close-set eyes!

I just saw reality Steves website. I am not rooting for Gia anymore. Jake is such a good boy and he needs a good girl. I think he is wanting to settle down and start a family and if she is modeling still, not family material.

Love it! That is the perfect description for her hair. What was she thinking?

[Hokulele]

Wow - I just watched the Gia photo shoot video posted by Reality Steve. Is that really her? If so, she's not the girl I thought she was.

Love the comments about Vienna!! I don't get why there is so much hatred, she seems easy-going and friendly on camera. But I also don't get why Jake is so into her, I just don't see their chemistry at all!!

[lotus.blossom]

Vienna really does look better in her natural state. When she gets made up she just looks like a guy trying to look like a girl.

Funny thing though, if I was on the show I would probably gravitate towards her because she is pretty carefree and funloving and forward. I like people like that.

I just don't see Jake going for that. But then again who really knows what anyone is like on TV!

[hollytheteacher]

Is anyone else all excited for tonight!? LOL I don't even feel good and i'm really tired and should just go to bed, but I can't miss the bachelor!

I know the end girl thing too and I can't believe it and it's so weird but I do see their chemistry so ...so be it! I guess? We'll have to see how it all plays out.

[Monarchgrrl]

I'm excited! And I don't know who the end girl is. I just like it when there are little twists and turns like him eliminating two at once (twice!) and someone being kicked off. Looks like tonight someone might be wanting to leave?? Looking forward to it...

ETA: Oh and I really like the home dates, meeting the parents, etc.

[lovebug]

i so hope Vienna goes home! i just really dont think she is right for him. however i think it would be funny to see Ali's face if that does happen!

i love Tenley and i think she would be perfect for him.

i guess we will see...

[lovebug]

ok i was not in love with Ali, but im sad she is left. but its the big twist with the call. i wonder if she is going to want to come back or if she is going to warn him about Vienna...

Ooh I didn't think of that (that it could be about warning him about vienna...kind of like how he warned Gillian about wes! LOL). I think, though, that if that is the case he'd be all like "well i'm glad she left because she obviously wasn't for me since i care so much about vienna and don't want to hear the girls say bad things about her."

And did anyone else think Vienna's dad was kinda creepy-weird with the whole "princess" stuff???

I agree. It was a bit creepy.


Did anyone catch that when Ali was saying that she was going to leave, Jake said that she wasn't the one on the chopping block for that rose ceremony? I wonder who it was going to be. This means that Jake is already planning on sending one of the 3 girls home and is going to have to pretend to be in love with her in the next episode.

Yeah but i dont' know if he had completely made up his mind yet or not...just that he knew he wasn't gonna send home ali.

Did you notice that two seconds before Ali says "chris can i talk to you for a sec" her lips moved a little and I think it looked like she said "now?" in like a questioning way to Chris...like it was already planned that she would address chris to say that but needed to wait until the cue or something LOL ...I could be reading too much into it but if anyone has it DVR'd or something go back and look at her lips right before she says that to chris.

I bet he was going to send Gia home. I just didn't see the real chemistry lat night. It seemed to fake to me.

I agree...

[Hokulele]

I am SO GLAD Ali is gone. I loved her in the first couple episodes, but then when she took on the role of ringleader against Vienna I thought it was just cruel (no matter what Vienna is really like). And from then on it just felt like she was being manipulative and overly cute and fun for the camera.

I don't think she really had strong feelings for Jake, I think she was in love with America seeing her life. And the way she left was just torture... sitting in his lap waiting for him to pledge undying love to her, for her ego. UGH!!!

Tenley is the right girl for him, but while he can see she's the right fit I don't think he has that spark for her.

Vienna's dad - CREEPY!! Was that her mom or two sisters? I kept wondering how her mom felt about V and her dad being so close and weepy over each other while she stood around just watching.

[HappyMommy2]

I think you might be right about Gia, although the chemistry has been there before! Is she the ONLY one where he didn't ask for her hand in marriage? Or did I miss a scene??

[Monarchgrrl]

Well if I were in Ali's shoes (assuming for conversation that this is all real and they are in "love") then I would have made the same choice as her. BUT I think that if she would have stayed then he would have picked her as the last girl standing. He would have used the whole "anyone that would give up her job for me is really in this for love". I wonder about her calling next week though! Interesting. And, I'm sorry, but Ali looked like a really bad kisser. She was all tight-lipped the whole time. Yuck!

I like Tenley's personality but I can NOT stand her voice any longer. I'm sure it's her real voice, but I think she plays up her mannerisms and coyness to seem little girlish. Her voice makes her seem like she's 5 yo. I can't stand it any more. And there is no way that he should pick someone who is one year or less out of a divorce where she was hurt so badly! She is obviously not over her XH. I'm sure it was editing, but she mentioned him a lot. Way more than someone who is over someone. And her dad crying about her divorce? Whoa! And she hasn't been home since she told them of it? It all seems weird to me. And her mom saying that she's still going to have lots of emotional outbursts about it? Dude...RUN away!!!!

[Ditto]

I'm really sad that Ali went home. She was my favorite. She did harp about Vienna a lot, but I think she was mostly mature about it. I think that she is secure and settled enough that she would be able to handle the demanding life of a pilot. shrug.

Vienna's dad creeped me out! That scene where he messed up her hair when they were hugging. Just really strange...

Tenley reminds me of the meek, submissive church girls I grew up with. I think she would be swept off her feet by any "good" man at this point. It feels like if you asked she wouldn't be able to tell you what's special about Jake, specifically, ya know?

Gia. Eh, she's cute.

[Awaken]

ugh, I think it was a bit of a cop out to have ali leave. i really wanted to know where everyone stood after the hometown dates, and now we don't know what he thought. he did say ali wasn't on the chopping block, so i wonder who he was considering!

The whole scene with her agonizing over it and sighing and sobbing was so boring, and made her look really unattractive. the baby doll dress didn't help, either. why would her job wanting her to come back be a surprise? you know how long the show potentially is when you sign on and would have told your job to get leave in the first place! Ed all over again!! Although there is still nothing stopping them from being together if she is truly "the one"! He could just not propose to anyone and they could get together after the show!

I totally didn't see chemistry with Gia- it was all so superficial! I don't she her and Jake's lifestyles melding if they were together.

I think personality wise Tenley is best for him, but the pp's have good points about the divorce being so raw! weird that her parents hadn't seen her since then, and the first time is when she's on a reality show, bringing home The Bachelor!

Vienna and her daddy were creepy! if i were Jake i would not want to be in the middle of that and have to live up to the role daddy's played in her life and her "princess" standard!
