Team Vienna


Regardless of your opinion on "The Bachelor" and the whole concept of falling in love in about two months in a romantically enhanced fantasy atmosphere there is no mistaking one thing: It makes for some damn good television.
I for one am addicted to bad television. I groan about shows like the "The Bachelor" and feel like an idiot for watching but still set my DVR for it. Damn you ABC! Anyways what I am weighing in on is the recent drama on the set of "The Bachelor" aka Jake & Vienna's very public and very immature break-up and appearance on Ali's season of "The Bachelorette."
I am not nor have I ever been a fan of Jake. From the moment I saw him amongst Jillian's potential suitors I thought there was something 'off' about the guy. Yes he is attractive and yes he is a pilot and those two things alone have girls swooning but he was also very...predictably dramatic. I mean I like a sensitive guy just as much as the next girl but this dude seems like he knows what "the perfect guy" is like and acts it out. It just was not genuine and this became apparent during the appearance on ABC.
We all know about Vienna. She is a talker and drama seems to follow her. Jake KNEW THIS! He heard all the other women's warnings about her and to Vienna's credit she never changed! Like it or not Vienna is genuine not because she is a good person but because she is who she is! She did not put on a act for Jake and him choosing her proved that he wanted the Vienna he had on the show. Unfortunately for Vienna she did not see the real Jake.
During their time on ABC Vienna came off as a puppy that was finally let off her leash. She did not care how she looked in her attempt to tell her side of the story and would not hold back each and every time she caught Jake in a lie (which seemed like 10 or 20). Jake sat, staring straight forward in silence. He would interject rude passive-aggressive comments here and there and for the most part tried to play the maryter. When Vienna became very animated at one point of the conversation he calmly said, "Why are you raising your voice?" Only to-moments later- scream so loud at this girl that she looked like a 5 year old being scolded by her father. Is Vienna immature? YES. Did Jake know what he was getting into? YES. Don't take Jake's side because you don't like Vienna's personality. I wouldn't be the girl's bff but I do agree with her and think the world should get off her back. And as for Jake...he is a toolbag the probably ruined any chance of an acting career with his temper problems becoming fearful and public.
