'The Bachelor': Define 'telling all'
It's the "Women Tell All" episode, and Chris Harrison has brought a studio audience with him to let you know that. We start with a pre-recorded interview with Jake, where Chris notes that everything Jake went through "was real." This critic and countless others tend to disagree. Back to the studio, where Chris looks at what he calls a "sexy new phenomenon" - "Bachelor" cast reunions. Or, as ABC unofficially calls it, potential casting for this summer's "Bachelor Pad" spin-off. Now, a word from Chris Harrison, who would like to remind you that "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" alumni are obligated to give back to the community. The community didn't ask, but here comes Jerry O'Connell's brother and others, helping fifth graders with a mural. Now, are the 5th graders supposed to learn from the alumni or the other way around? Meanwhile, Lorenzo Lamas' daughter tells us that "The Bachelor" is more than just romance - it's also about giving food to the needy. My head hurts. We're back in the studio, where Chris has assembled the "most memorable women" to talk about the show. There appears to be 14 women on the panel, and I can only remember half of them. Chris talks with Gia, who says being on the show was "the best experience of her life." Obviously, she hasn't had much of a life. The conversation turns to Michelle, who admits to wearing her heart on her sleeve the whole time, but she had no regrets. Thanks to the wonders of choppy editing and laugh tracks, we learn that allegations of emotional instability are comedy gold. Now it's time for what Chris called "the biggest TV scandal of 2010." Alas, no one from "Our Little Genius" comes out. Instead, it's Rozlyn Papa, who was kicked off the show many moons ago for allegedly having an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. Chris says numerous times that he harbors no ill will toward Rozlyn. He also asks numerous times if she had an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. He then talks about his son rambling on about unicorns and magicians. If Chris Harrison is auditioning for the Oprah slot, he's failing miserably. Rozlyn denies everything. The women on the panel deny everything Rozlyn is denying. Fingers are pointed about "24/7 cuddling," Rozlyn being on "all fours" and Chris flirting with the ex-staff member's wife. Chris does the worst impression of an elementary school teacher since Kate Hudson in "You, Me and Dupree." After all that fun, Jake comes out, saying it was an "honor" to have all the women participate on the show. We're then treated to the blooper reel, where Jake demonstrates his lack of vocabulary, as well as his problem using beds. Next week, the finale! Tenley vs. Vienna in the bore to settle the score. What do you think of last night's episode?

I was Thinking about Gia being the next Bachelorette. But since she has a hard time opening up it might not be good television.But i would like her in that role. Ali would be good TV but can she leave her job that long?And i really don't care for her so much i might not watch if she is picked.Corrie would be perfect! who will get the Virgin?All the guyS competeing to deflower the Virgin that would be good TV. I liked Jessie i'd watch that too.
Just thought you all might like to know . . . Rozlyn landed herself two nights on The Insider, sitting on the panel. Though it's on another network, that may have been the reason she returned to the show on Monday.
Ok, I got roped into watching this show this year because all of my girlfriends watch it. I have to say....I HATE JAKE!!!!
Not only is he totally boring (I know that there is a sterotype for big hot dumb guys but come on!!!), but he is a huge liar! He swears that he is "falling for" each woman on the show and then drops them one by one like bad habits when the rose ceremony comes. When Ali called him from SF and asked to come back, and he said he had to listen to what his heart was telling him and it was that he liked the other women better....at that point it was pretty obvious that he is just a phoney. Really??? After one week your feeling have just vanished?
Don't get me wrong – he is super hot and I wouldn't mind being in that shower with him, but I would prefer if he was mute. Does anyone else get bothered with his wholesome good-boy act? When he said "oh bless her heart" when he was talking about Swamp Thing Vienna I thought I was going to have to yack.
'Wonderboy Jake' is a flake....... Can't he think of any other word other than 'AMAZING'?...
Vienna- Is she related to that once famous equine, Mr.ED? Also, please do something with your hair...
Tenley– Oh God, that voice is enough to drive anybody to drink......
Rozyln- Who cares what she did or didn't do, considering how loopy Jake is, she might have been the smartest one of all....
Ali- nice smile, but comes off as phoney and pre-staged, The Next Bachelorette? Ya, good luck with that , considering all the hate email you seem to get......
Chris-the cat fight with you and Roz, kinda made both of you look like asses. (I know, I know, the ratings the ratings!!!!! whatever)..... That's reality T.V. folks !!! Now ABC, do me a HUGE FAVOR, and please bring back EASTWICK!!!!! Since Leno vacated 10 pm, put it on after all these bachelor/dating type shows and WOW!!! RATINGS WILL SOAR!!! TRUST ME!!! EASTWICK....EASTWICK.....EASTWICK...........
I think this year's Bachelor is not going to rank as one of the top seasons. I am sure Jake picked Vienna within the first two weeks and will end up with her BUT it won't last. He is too mellow for her, they won't last long I am sure. She will be sick of him within a year. She is so immature, not that it's bad to be, it's just that she really doesn't know what she wants yet, she thinks she does BUT she really doesn't. He is hoping it will last but I don't see that happening.
I think ALL these women would make fantastic Porn stars, I hope Vivid entertainment is watching!! They should give Ali and Gia Porn contracts also Ali's blond friend, the one that said she has no problems getttin dates!! My opinion, All these women that subject themselves to all this are all whores!!!!!!!!
This entire show was the worst ever!!! And to think he will chose Trailer Trash Vienna....I may never watch a Bachelor or Bacheloretter again. They seem to be getting worse and worse.
I have had enough of Ali...I don't like her. Tenly can't stop talking about her ex-husband, Vienna is not Jake's type and I don't think he will pick either of them. Please don't select Ali for the Bachlorette. I think Gia would be a good fit for Jake, she just needs to open up a bit. Oh well, too late and we don't get to choose who he will end up with.
Ok, guys....
Do u guys know that Jake was previously an actor??? That says a lot. He may be good-looking, but he is as fake as the rest of them. Gia has had so much work done that she looks like "the Joker" from the Batman movies. She has dated countless celebs and sports figures. Why would we want her to be the next Bacherlorette? ALI?? FAKE, and mean- spirited. She was soooo jealous of sweet Vienna that she exhausted herself. Yuck!
Although, I have to say I enjoy watching the show, it is fabricated. Everyone knows that, right?? Please say so!!!! It is contrived and gives us that mindless entertainment. So, good TV. I will say, I hope he bails on both the women. They are both idiots.
Chris, that would definitely fit in based on what I saw on last Monday's show.
I think that Jake doesn't pick either of the girls and winds up getting with Ali after the show in "The Most Dramatic Bachelor Aftershow...EVER!!!"
Someone mentioned in their comments that they found it odd when Chris asked Jake if he was happy, that he just said "yes, I'm happy" and didn't gush over his feelings or state of bliss. I picked up on that too. I also picked up on certain looks that were exchanged between Jake and Ali (though I do not like Ali at all). I too think he will pick Vienna but soon split with her. He may spend more time with Gia because he did not really get to know her as she was so afraid to be forthcoming. Once she relaxed a bit and spoke openly on the show, I noted his expression. He seemed a little surprised that she had such feelings for him. I would love to see him wind up with her. If not, at least she should be the next Bachelorette.
I agree 100% with Brian!
As a man I say "I watch it for the PAIN"!!! Then when we get down to 2-3 episodes I say "DON'T HURT HER"!!! I work all day and for weeknight TV I like something that I don't have to use any brain power to watch – So The Bachelor/ette is perrrrrrfect!
It's a comedy show, rehearsed and scripted. The fact that anyone believes that any part of the show is true is mind boggling to me.
Samantha, you are on point.
Samantha February 23rd, 2010 4:48 pm ET
I think they are all "hot, desperate, fake, fame seekers"
Rozlyn is trash but beautiful.But like a black widow i think. I'd do her plenty but never give in to her until she'd leave to con another guy
I cannot believe that a professional like Jake would lower himself to be on show like that. I hope he does not pick Vienna she looks trashy to me.
I really think that you need to get a new script. It is the same old thing over and over. The thing with Jake hanging his head over a railing and crying, isn't that what Jason did on his show. Get new material. As far as Ali, her plan just backfired on her. She just wanted him to say that she was the one.
Ok one more time. Rox was segregated away from the others. She knew what was going to happen. She came on the show. She said on my son's life, no one else said that. She pulled the cheap shot on Chris and the wife of the producer. She asked for all of this. Press rewind and watch her face at the first accusation then the other night. It's the same blank stare. And this is for ratings, and for no other reason. If they cared if they really were going to get married, don't you think ABC would find better relationship material???? Look how many of these ending up with a permanent pairing of the end couple.
Chris Harrison is a big fat LOSER. He comes across looking petty, childish & out to get Rozlyn & we know that's what his intentions were.
They should have let her go the first time. To bring her back was humiliating & unfair. Why did she come back? I sure hope Jake is smart
enough to pick Tenley but if he goes with Vienna he gets what he deserves. Grow up Jakey boy.
I'm surprised that Ali is so popular here, I can't stand her! I don't think she's very attractive and she seems jealous, catty and unpleasant. I liked the lady from Tenn and thought that Jake did, too – not sure why he brought her son into it if he felt certain enough to kick her off so soon. I hope she finds a great guy. More than anything, I felt that he should have chosen Gia, not only to stay but as his potential fiancee. She seems so sweet and sincere, is very attractive and I loved her clothes from the moment she stepped out of the limo (I died when I saw that brown dress with the roses!). Ali's work crisis seemed so incredibly staged, Tenley seems super sweet and is very pretty and also seems well suited for Jake. I like Vienna and have liked her from the beginning but not for Jake so much. She has an amazing figure! The more the girls disliked her, the more I liked her. It really seemed like they were just jealous and their bashing of her only served to make them look bad, especially Ali. There, that's my two cents – thanks for listening! I don't have anyone else to talk to about it. lol I vote for GIA to be the next Bachelorette!!! (count me in for Team Gia!;)
jake picks vienna i've known about it since the show started. just go to realitysteve.com. he has all the behind scenes scoops. he has been right on who goes home all season week by week. rozlyn has been screwed over by abc. there was no affair. the women on the tell all show that talked trash about rozlyn lied. they said in post show interviews they never saw anything, but then on the tell all show abc gave them a script basically to trash rozlyn. valisha said today that the producers hounded her into making accusations against rozlyn. abc and chris harrison who is a piece of crap should apoligize to rozlyn for creating a scandal for ratings.
Oh, by the way, it's also confirmed that Jake picks Vienna...hmm...I wish Jake had picked ali so we wouldn't have a wasted Bachelorette next season...any chance they can bring back Jillian Harris – she was pretty cool.
Unfortunately, it's a done deal that ali will be the next bachelorette. Very disappointed and won't be watching...rather see Gia. Ali?! Oy Vay. It's the fourth reality show she's tried to be on. I liked her at first, but, her true nature came out over time and at the end I couldn't stand her. I can't see rewarding that kind of manipulative of a person.
Maybe Jake is going to finally come out of the closet and propose to Chris Harrison.
Obviously, you don't watch the show. And if you do, you're not a fan. So why are you giving your opinion?
Jake picks no one..................what a surprise!
Rozlyn is such a bad liar! She totally humiliated herself, especially after she took that obvious, cheap, desperate shot at Chris! Trash is trash, no matter how good it looks.
This show just demonstrates the worst in young people today....I mean, really. Whine whine whine, tattle tattle tattle, boo hoo hoo. There is something WRONG with "Ken and his barbie dolls" if they have to go on television to find love. I can tell you there are far more "amazing" women and "incredible" experiences out there to have.....try going to a war zone, a refugee camp, a natural disaster area, and meet some amazing people and have some incredible experiences. These people are all plastic, narcissistic, phoney, boring no minds who get attention like a car accident.....you just HAVE to look!
I think he's stupid if he picks Vienna. She's like Jekyll & Hyde. Tenley is down to earth just like him.
Too bad such good looks were wasted on Roslyn ... I'm embarassed for her ... TEAM GIA for the next Bachelorette!!
ps. I say Jake picks NO ONE ... he's meant to be single - too picky!!!
I agree, Christ Harrison needs to move on and he is a pompass, a**, IMO!! Like they said, WHY bring Rozyln on? Because CHRIS wanted to attack her, to settle a personal vendetta..Way to go Chris, jerk, ABC should seriously consider firing him. I don't think i'll EVER watch ABC for any reason, They (ABC) supported that national t.v., rehearsed, beatdown, cry-fest, because of Chris..especially when she has a Son, Wow, what a horrific debacle he made that out to be..AND, BEST of all..They put Rozlyn (argueably, the most BEAUTIFUL woman in the entire USA) in the spotlight..for her to shine..ROCK ON, Rozyln...and get lost Chris Harrison and ABC, IMO...you have nothing..anymore, Chris ruined this show FOREVER..Get rid of him
Get married already, guy.
I hope he picks Vienna. So what if she is not a looks in 10 her personality more than makes up for that. Plus she has told Jake exactly how she feels from day one.
that reunion phenomenon was like a bad valtrex commercial. ICK
I could be reading between the lines, but it was interesting to hear Chris ask Jake, "Are you happy?"... and Jake replied, "Yes, I'm happy."
Shouldn't Chris have asked of he was in love, i.e. ready to get married??? I thought Jake would have "gushed" a little more thoroughly...? I think he may have dumped both Tinley and Vienna... and is gassing up his Cessna for a flight into Ali's (ahem) landing strip, perhaps?
Jake is the annoying one. He's gorgeous, but strange, boring, and WAY too serious. Does the guy know how to let loose and have fun? Maybe his name was "Mr. Dateless" in high school for a reason!
Tenley's too sweet ... she's going to have heartbreak. I laughed hard when the girls said they think she dreams Disney.
Vienna ... nasty. Seriously Jake? Is this show about "getting some" or is it about "getting married"?
Jake is too self centered to pick any pick anyone but Vienna, and he deserves her. They will make a "cute" couple... as she spends his money and keeps telling him how great he is and feeding his ego. She already took a serviceman to the cleaners while he was in Iraq for her boob job.
This show is sooo scripted it is boring. The show has the women throwing themselves at him, no friends first, love next here. Just get it on and if you're the best in bed we'll see. It is like a horny stud turned loose in the harem, and if the women don't put out, send'm home.
they should just hire pro hookers and be done with it!
You can't believe this soap opera is not staged especially after the past two shows have had the drama of women leaving and then the boyz knowing they made the wrong decisions (especially that last twit -not Jake) Jake's problem was he was delt a cast of sluts, move on Jake!
Carrie is soooo right! If you don't like the show, use your remote or maybe get your lazy behind off the couch and CHANGE THE CHANNEL! You "do" have choices! I'm pretty sure no one is holding a weapon to your head and forcing you to watch this show and then bash all the people on it because you think they are a bunch of whiners! AND Ia356 perhaps we only saw Jake asking Vienna about wedding rings because that is what the editors/producers wanted us to see. He could have asked ALL of the girls that questions and had it all edited out so we would "think" that only Vienna had been asked. After all, I'm pretty sure that everyone on the show has had to use the toilet at least once, and yet we don't see that either. As far as Jake doing "An Officer and and Gentleman" ending with Ali, get a grip, THAT was a movie NOT a reality show. I know this is far from a "true" reality show, but really!!!! That would be about the dumbest ending ever. And I suppose you want him to have the final rose in his teeth too?!
I so agree Cathy! I was pretty disgusted by the way they acting around each other. Plus, I couldn't believe that Jake was ok with what Vienna's dad told him about treating her like an absolute princess-all I was thinking was WHOA! RED FLAG! Loud and proud Jakey!
Chris Harrison...pathetic. Rosyln was old news and treated unfairly...while the man who was actually on staff...not held to face the audience...cheezy! Ali....harsh and now repetent. Did not like her "in your face" presence AT ALL. Gia is classy. Will NOT watch if it is Ali...period. Totally judgemental person and complete cry baby. Life is choices. Grow up!
I agree with others...last night got sidetracked from the Bachelor to create controversy via Rosyln. I like her guysy attitude and frankly could care less about her and the other man. The show was very fragmented and Chris Harrison tried to smash her with mud. Let's be kind. The only point in bringing her back was for embarrassment. That makes lots of people very uncomfortable.
Just had an afterthought - any one else notice the "odd" father/daughter relationship between Vienna and Daddy??? Now that's something I'd be very very afraid of if I was Jake........Daddy is waaaaaaaaay tooooooo obsessed with his widdle girl.
Hey everyone,
Jake is going to pick Vienna because she worships him and Tenley needs someone to comfort her because of her divorce; which Jake can't give. Haven't you guys seen the way Vienna throws herself at him and he loves it. This guy has an ego bigger than the moon and Vienna is just the one to fill it. Tenley needs a man that will worhip her and provide her with affirmations to fill her big void. Jake needs someone to feed his big ego which Vienna will. Also, don't you remember that he asked Corrie if she would live with him before they got married and she responded with an immediate no. Veinna will do it and Tenley won't. This guy thinks all women on the show, which he kicked off, were truly amazing. BARF
I think Jake should do an "Office and a Gentleman" and go to Ali's work and pick her up and carry her away! How cool would that be! This is great TV and we can't wait to get in front of the TV on Monday nights.
Although I agree with Jake seeming to be a genuinely good guy, his taste in women is questionable to say the least, but hey...it's his choice after all! ;o)
Having said that, I wonder why there was so much emphasis on his pecks all throughout the show, the first episodes especially. It was like a bad soft porn, at times! I just bursted out laughing at the camera zooming in, in slow motion(of course!), at Jake's chest, every two seconds. Where's my copy of Playgirl, when I need it!?!? ;o)
Maybe it was jet lag for Jake?
When asked if he was happy, Jake who is always predictable, could of answered with one of his favorite saying “O gosh”! (sigh) I could not have found a better person for my soul mate. But … he didn’t.
My bet is that neither woman will fly off into the sunset with Jake.
Well I agree with many of the posters – this show has run it's course - time to put it on the shelf. It always amazes me that these folks behave the way they do on national television – LOL ok I can only comment 'cuz I've been suckered in to watch it hoping against hope that it will get better – but noooooooo. Don't they remember that their families (and employers) are watching this crap when they let loose with the booze and some of the slutty behavior? The gals aren't the only ones – the guys can be pretty slutty too. They haven't had a successful relationship since Ryan and Trista – not a good track record if you ask me. Honestly – do you REALLY believe it came as a shock to Ali that her employer would not hold her job any longer – I would think that the show would have made her aware that she had to commit to being available through a certain date should she successfully make it through each rose ceremony. They added that phoney job thing to create a drama. Say good night Chris!!
I think judging from the looks on Aly's face and those on Jakes, that he will dump Tenley and the slutty Vienna, and go after Aly.
Oh I hope this isn't just a set up for him to get with Ali at the end. She really bugged me with all the wining and crying, especially when she dropped to the ground in the hallway and started balling after telling Jake she's leaving. COME ON GIRL! Get a grip, she made herself look pathedic.
Don't like Vienna, to immature and bad hair. Don't like the other girl either (name ?), her voice would drive him crazy after a week. But who knows he is a little odd too, and might like an annoying voice like that.
Totally fake – what has happened to meeting people the old fashion way. It has all become about sensationalism and the ratings. While almost all the women seemed fake and scripted, the only one I connected with was Gia.
I watched and listened carefully. Jake and Alli were being very careful, and her kind remarks about Vienna were rather telling. I like Alli and think they're a good match. She hoped he'd jump in his plane and come after her and he hoped she'd jump out of the limo and run back to him. C'mon! He's told both Vienna and Tenley they're not right for him and Alli is the one. Just wait and see...
My bet is Jake doesn't choose either one!!! Then he is free to pursue Ali who remains the one he had both chemistry and connection with. For me for some odd reason the show is entertaining fantasy & brainless TV providing time to check out from the days demands. What I really dislike is all the cat fighting that seems staged and totally unnecessary and this season's women seemed to not have much substance. Can't the show have bachelorettes who have an education and know how to conduct themselves with class and vs the giggly immature models and women who look & act like trophy wife wannabes and have no substantial life experience? Seems to me wearing a size 0 bikini is the only real requirement! This show needs a serious upgrade!
The show has changed over the years, went from silly to mind-numbing stupid, and yesterday's show was just plain ridiculous. It's all done for the ratings and it appears that from the number of people commenting (alas, including me), it's working. I may give it one more shot but it's more than likely that I'll bail mid-season.
Liz-I'm glad you liked my comment! I think that would be the absolute best if that happened! And most entertaining might I add.
Yes, maybe Ali's situation was made up, but I LOVE Ali and I think her and Jake are too good together. They make such a great couple. And as others have commented-Jake teared up when just talking to her last night. It's obvious there are still some feelings there. Plus, who says I have made a "lifelong friend?" What kind of "friend" is Jake referring to?
I like this how because it entertains me. If it's not entertaining to you, then don't watch it! It's that simple...or I find it very simple.
They should all get a life and ABC should dump the show....what a crock of CRAP
This show is a complete fraud.
I agree, Rozlyn is totally crazy! We are to believe she is telling the truth when 5 other girls are saying the opposite. If it is doesn't make sense it is probably not true. And I expect that the "producer" is not married anymore. That barb at Chris was totally uncalled for, but she knew she was going down fast. The faces she made when denying stuff were totally fake!! It was funny.
Michelle is a head case.
"Has Jake found the knob so he can open the door to the closet he is in??? I think Ali did what she did because she wants to be the next bachlorette..."
HAHAHAHA true. but Ali is a schemer. she was trying to play Jake w/a fake job problem. didn't she tell her employer ahead of time about her leave of absence?? all of a sudden, it's critical for her to get back. either she works for a clueless employer who couldn't plan properly for her absence or an employer who thought "oh she'll be booted off in 2 weeks, who would want her?". OR Ali tried to play a game and instead got played.
Gia next bachelorette? nope. her voice is annoying but she's the better choice for Jake. Ella would make a better bachelorette. why not have a single mom looking for complete happiness??
the fact that Jake passed up on Gia for skanky Vienna and the whole lot of divorce issues woman says the final show will be a joke, not what anyone expects.
but leave Chris Harrison alone. he's the bomb and funny as hell, on and off the show.
Why are people writing on here that the show is stupid. If it's stupid don't watch it.
Personally I think Jake is nice on the eyes. He is way too nice though. He needs to be more manly. Gia, she is very pretty, but needs more self confidence. Seriously I can't tell you how many times I wanted to scream when she'd cover her mouth when she was talking. And always making that face with her mouth. Come on!! Vienna's hair is terrible..looks like hay. Tenley, I like, but I'd run far far away from her if I was Jake. She is just trying to get a substitute for her husband. Alli is ok but she just wanted Jake to beg her to stay. I don't think he picks anyone. I don't even think he'll hook up with Alli later.
If he's smart he'll dump both Vienna & Tenley and go back and get Ali back!
I think they are all "hot, desperate, fake, fame seekers" to go on a show to try to find love. Shows like this just add to why no one knows how to have a normal stable relationship anymore and why people think it is OK to date a bunch of people (IE all the stupid internet dating sites) at the same time.
Its one thing to go to dinner with two different men in the same week, but it is a different story to go on a date on Monday with one person "rave about how much you like them and make out with them, then go out to dinner with someone else two days later and say the same things about them and make out with them too, then go back and forth!"
I hate to say this, but if I started dating a man and he showed the "intentions" that all of the bachelors and bachelorettes show the "CONTESTANTS" and he was kissing another girl, we would have some problems.
This show promotes CHEATING, not monogamy – surprise, surprise when someone cheats on the show!
Does Tess really think that this show is funded by taxpayer money? Please try to stay on topic – I see a lot of comments that have nothing to do with the article...
VA- I love that Idea!!!! Jake could come back on Bachelorette and win Ali's heart back!!!
Somebody wins in the end? Seriously? What do they "win"?
Jake needs some advice from his bestie Wes!
I'm guessing Rozlyn had to be on the show due to contractual agreements?
Chris Harrison acted like a jerk last night. It seemed that the show was trying very hard to force a confession of some sort from Rozlyn. I ended up feeling bad for her with everyone ganging up on her.
What bothers me is the fact that the women (or the men on the Bachelorette) say they came on the show to fall in love with Jake (insert bachelor(ette) here). When in fact they applied for the show long before they even knew who the bachelor even was. So it is obvious they just fall for whoever happens to be the bachelor. Of couse people are going to fall for someone when they are living an extravagent lifestyle (limos, yachts, paradise, etc.)...
I really hope Jake does not choose Vienna she looks so fake with her bleach out hair
Fun stuff! For those of us who watch it, The Bachelor is mindless entertainment. For those who participate, it's either a chance to find "Mr./Ms. Right" or an opportunity for exposure. I loved the other contestants' comments about Tenley ... along the lines of she acts like she stepped right out of a Disney movie, she (bleeps) rainbows, and she dreams in cartoons! But, as an Oregonian, I hope Jake picks her.
I love to watch the "Bachelor "or "Bachelorette" because of the incredible places they travel to and the beautiful clothes they wear.
Other than that nothing more or nothing less ! People are what they are and will gladly do what they have to to be part of the whole scene..
So please enjoy the scenery and write your own story if you want the outcome to be what you want it to be.
Jake seems like a nice guy, says all the right things etc. But what self respecting woman would put herself into the position of being "picked" from a herd of cattle? I feel sorry for all of them. They deserve whatever happens.
If you want to know who he picks, check out realitysteve.com. He said who would win before the first episode aired and has been accurate in everything he has said.
I agree with most of you-so what if Rozlyn wasn't in love with Jake, not everyone would be! I will say though that some of the things that were said were a little suspicious...like, the producer and the producer's father visiting her. Umm...pretty sure that's not "normal." Maybe this relationship between her and the producer really didn't happen, but that's what the entertainment industry is all about-finding ways to make their numbers go up which means having more viewers. If there isn't some kind of drama, who is going to watch the show?? I know I wouldn't!
I watched this season religiously, I have yet to miss an episode. With that, I will say I think that some of these things were plotted-I mean this is a TV SHOW! You can't just let everything happen on a whim, some of it has to be planned. On that note, I think Jake picks Vienna, but they only last a few months since she is so immature. I think Jake is totally attracted to Vienna for the instant sex drive he gets from her. She's young and has a lot of that right now. I like Tenley a lot, but I don't think she's anywhere near being over her ex. That's all she talks about on some of the episodes-my ex husband this, and he was my last, and we saved each other for our day. GET OVER IT! YOU'RE DONE! I think Jake will be single after this whole thing-like someone else had mentioned in the blog (sorry can't find who said it) he said he was happy with his decision-nothing about BEING happy. Ali was my favorite from the beginning. Yes, she wasn't always poised, but I know being a woman myself that I'm not either. We all have flaws. I thought her and Jake really hit it off. I think it would be the best thing ever if Jake went back on the bachelorette show to see if he could win Ali's heart again. That could be interesting!
Reality t.v. needs ro have a more realistic name.
i hardly see anything real come out.
it was leaked out on some web site that Vienna wins... Me I like Ali
For all of you who says this show is trash and makes women look like sluts, you have no way of knowing unless you are watching it! LOL! So, stop watching if you don't like it! Geez, Louise!
I wished Chris' response would have been MUCH better when she made the comment about him flirting with the producer's wife. Saying you won't dignify it with an answer is only a "mature" way of NOT having an answer! So to ME, he WAS guilty of flirting since he didn't want to offer any defense to it. But how trashy and cheap of Roslyn to bring it up. It's no surprise though, because trash spills trash.
If he picks Vienna, you gotta worry about HIM! OMG!
Terminate the Bachelor – Keep "Better off Ted" and "Ugly Betty". Two worth while shows that are getting killed by ABC.
Kiraxx.......YOU ROCK!!!!
OK folks... here goes. Jake will not select either Vienna or Tinley and will opt out, waiting til after the show and then, go after Ali. Plain and simple. Look at what he said last night when talking about her leaving – he was obviously in love with her and in my humble opinion, still is. Ali has feelings for him as well. Anyway – when it comes down to it – it would make a repeat of the Jason season, with a twist. No selection, just plain truth.
Ali will be the next bachelorette these shows are so horrible words cant even come close to describing them....
call me stupid.............I enjoyed the show
zzzzzzzzzz
jake is gonna pick Vienna, the white trash stripper. Ali is a little spoiled brat, but i like her for Jake. I agree that Gia should be on the next show. Rosalyn is a complete liar, and that whole part was lame and seemed staged. WEAK
I love watching this show every week – all the drama of "falling in love" like my husband says, of course you'll feel like your in love in the most beautiul places, with top shelf wine and food – not reality AT ALL!! Come down to our level and show these people in real life locations and situations and see if "love" happens.
I want him to go after Ali – she has been our favorite since the beginning.
Gia would be the best Bachelorette!
Also, Jake should take Ali back!!!
I think Chris did an excellent job keeping things under control. Plus, He hardly blinked when Rozolyn brought up him "flirting with the producers wife in New Zealand." Regardless if he did or didn't, he has enough class to keep it off the camera.
to the idiot who thinks our tax dollars pay for network programming...you need to get yourself some education!!
I don't understand what anyone sees in Ali, the pretentous leave for her job, she kept wiping her face over and over again as if she had a bad headache – she wants to win, but it wasn't about love. I don't care for Vienna's forwardness, she's almost scary of her assurance, and I think Tinley is very sweet, so I hope he decides on Tenley – but good riddens to Ali. I agree with most, Gia should be the next Bachelorette, I can't imagine what he didn't see in her -she is beautiful inside and out. I'm still shocked that Vienna is in the game, still, but I thought Ali's apparent spite of Vienna was very very unbecoming and unattractive. As much as Vienna is a tad bit immature and overly agressive, I thought Ali was jealous and vindictive inside – I was beginning to think her who mission was to make sure Vienna didn't get further along in the show – I didn't see Ali blossoming at all as wife material.
I can't believe these women are so desperate. They sure must be doing something wrong to have to pimp themselves out on this show.
Disgusting.
At the risk of wearing out my welcome, I have to make one more comment. I think many of you are correct in that he chooses neither Tenley or Vienna. I've watched this show for awhile and there was little said between Jake and Ali during the tell all show. It's as if more can be gained by what wasn't said between the them compared to what was said. Their glances at each other and their body language was completely different than that the other girls. It was as if it was all Ali could do to keep from smiling.
I think whiny Jake will wuss out and not choose either girl.
And why do all the girls always think it's them....how about getting a batchlor with a real set of balls! 🙂
Take Ali back, he obviously still has feelings, kick Vienna's ass to the curb, what a low life scumbag Florida river rat, interesting relationship with her dad!!! What???? Tell Chris that he doesn't have to come out EVERY STINKIN SHOW and let us know it is the last rose!!!! Really???? I hadn't noticed. And so what about Rozyln on her all fours, that's probably where she spends most of her time!!!!! What has TV come to!!!!!!!!
Gia was definitely my top choice for Jake and for next Bachelorette, please. Although, I was impressed with his interest in Christina last night because I was sad when he dropped her so soon. If the rumors are true and he chooses Vienna, who, as much as I dislike Vienna, is less repulsive to me than Tenley for some reason, I can see why he has already dumped Vienna and is already putting out feelers for someone new. And this is kind of mean, so forgive me, but as much as I love Gia and I want her to be next Bachelorette, I just thought of who her smile reminds me of - Jack Nichelson's The Joker - ooh, that's mean though, cause she is totally gorgeous and sweet and deserves to be next Bachelorette - no Ali, please - I cannot stand her.
I agree that Gia should be the next Bachorette. She's wonderful.
I think Chris Harrison has a lot of class and loved the way he handled Rozlyn last night. Clearly, he felt the need to defend the show from the idea that Rozlyn's behavior was staged for television purposes. The premise of the show is a bit unrealistic but it is entertainment. And ABC never fails to entertain with the Bachelor. Whether it's contrived or not, it's light hearted and fun.
Tess...what the %@#! does the bachelor have to do with taxpayer money.
Since when are reality TV shows funded by "taxpayer money"?
I don't understand why Rozlyn bother to come back the show to "explain" herself? And it's obvious that she is lying and her goal of going on this show is not Jake. It's probably publicity that she wants since she's in the modeling business. I believe what Ali said about "taking risk" is true. It's risky to let go of her job over Jake who might not choose her at the end. Then she will end up with no man and no job!
I thought this show was great! It was funny and entertaining! To all those who think this show is stupid, a waste of time.. and I believe someone even mentioned a waste of tax payers money- don't watch it! Why would you waste your time watching this show if it's so terrible? I don't know about you but I have something called a remote and I wouldn't waste my time watching something I thought was that bad. I can't understand all of you that complain so much about the show...yet you're obviously are watching it and taking time out of your day to comment?
By the way... in response to Jackie....
Vienna gets chosen...and Ali is the new bachelorette!!! Just wait for the announcement.
Oops. I misspelled informed. LOL
By the way, the show does a poor editing job when splicing clips together. You can tell when you roll back footage. I love my DVR!!!
How is this show "wasting taxpayers' money" ? Isn't it a 100% private enterprise? (The network and the production company)
Anyone who wants to know what really happened need to read "Reality Steve's" blog on realitysteve.com he has a totally reliable inside source who tells all, and accurately!!!! The majority of the show is fabrication. Roslyn did not have any inappropriate relationship. The girls were all given scripted statements to make about Roslyn which were all false. And that phone call from Ali to Jake in St. Lucia was also completely scripted, and she was required to stage the call. Remember everyone is under contract to the show, and the show has complete control!!!!
Dumb in so many ways. Makes Showgirls seem a masterpiece.
Ali admitted that she bailed because she got scared, was afraid that he wouldn't pick her and said he was a pilot and she thought he would get in his plane and come get her?!?! Nice strategy but afraid it back fired! However... was I the only one that saw Jake start to tear up last night when talking to Ali?
Jakes doesn't choose either... Vienna is definitely trashy...why didn't Roslyn show her how to apply make up? Tenley....truly needs to get over her Ex and hopefully after looking at the tapes of the show, she will realize that.
I say Tenley for the next Bachlorette.
Jbo
I am sooooooooo over this season. Too much fake drama. I started out adoring Jake, now I just think he is one shallow, arrogant, selfish, man. And what is up with all the women....they all whine???? They all have just toooooo many issues. Give me a break...Whatever happened to honesty, charm, unselfishness, and being genuine???
I still don't understand why Chris Harrison was so upset? What exactly is an inappropriate situation when Jake is kissing, feeling on 25 women? Dude, that some junior high crap. As far as I know all the girls were single, if she had the hots for the producer so what. Plus Chris... FYI.... you're the host... not the bachelor.
I wish when bloggers get up on the soapbox (Tess) that they'd at least spell what they're spewing correctly.
Exactly what is "money(s)"? Or "foney"? Or "education plannings"?
Jake said he never had second dates and I think that's because he makes poor choices. In the end, I predict that Jake will choose neither Tenley nor Vienna, but hopes that Ali is still available. He never said he was happy, only that he was happy with his decision.
About Gia...does anyone else think she looks like she's related to Octomom???
"Amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing" which is about the # of times Jake said AMAZING!!....NOT!!!!!. Time wasted of which I'm guilty.
I don't think Jake will end up with either of the finals. I'm still pushing for Ali. I tell myself every year this is it but I always come back.
When Chris Harrison said he harbors no ill will toward Rozlyn he was being as a big a liar as she is ! I dont know how either of them kept a straight face.
And that looney-tune Michelle is seriously deluded if she thinks she came across ok after watching herself on the show.
At least Elizabeth ?(the kiss-teaser) admitted to being stupid.
My favorite part was the bloopers and when the other girls said sweet Tenley sh*ts Disney and dreams in cartoons – LOL!
HOW DOES EVERYONE KNOW JAKE IS SINGLE??? FILL ME IN???
LOVE THE SHOW! KEEP ME POSTED?! And if he picked Vienna why arent they together??!!!!
Gia should be the new bachelorette. She had morals so that probably won't happen
Love Gia – very classy and WOULD LOVE TO SEE her as the new bachelorette.
does anyone read spoilers he picks Vienna .. they arent even together now . .. and Ali is the next Bachlorette!!!!!????? I wish Chris or someone woulda smacked Roz.... really .. she was the ONLY one telling the truth and everyone one else was lying on poor sweet innocent Roz... Honey where there is smoke there is fire !! what i want to know is where do they find these women...and i use that term LOOSELY???? everyone of these shows... they dont care they just sleep with him ????.. on national television??? so what i want to know is what do they do in private off camera at home ??? all these so called i havent been with anyone since my husband ... or im a single divorced mother but get on TV... whhooohooo off come the thongs ??!!!! what skeletons do they have in the closet??? a cemetary probably!!!!
You know, I still fail to see what Vienna does that bugs everyone so much except have bad hair (she needs to deal with that color and cut yes?), But, that petty thing said, she doesn't act like a Barbie. So what? She is very genuine and if you recall, she was NOT the one who was hacking up the other contestants. She remained more of a lady in that respect than any of them, Gia included. Gia needs to drop the baby cooing. It's old already. "Is it okay to fall?". THAT was immature. Gag. Going to bed with a little girl would become a big yawn in a big hurry.
Okay, I just looked up the former producer and I have to say that Roz and him make a great pair – he's ugly on the outside and she's ugly on the inside.
i literally watch this show just so i can read your article on it the next day...you are spot on and laugh out loud funny.....it is my trashy guilty pleasure!
Not happy with the show this year. Very trashy and catty. I do not like Jake's choices. If he picks Vienna, which I feel he might, it will never work. Vienne is too immature and a partyer.
How pathetic, this show propagates the idea love is for the beautiful. when are they going to put some average people on here , so its more real to life. instead of these beauty clowns . Oh and I mean the guys too.
please. its not fascinating in america that hot looking people get whatever they want , oh if you have money thats another given.
whats the intrigue.
My prediction is that he will turn them both down. Then he'll hook up later with Ali.
I think Ali is going to be the next Bachelorette. Might be Gia though. One of those two. Oh, wait. If Tenley gets turned down it will be Tenley hands down.
sigh.
He needs to pick Vienna. She's the only one he relaxes and is himself with.
To: Less
Since when did commercial television start using tax money? Please educate yourself before making ridiculous accusations about this show wasting tax payers' money. Our tax money does get wasted, but at least not on this show.
I don't know why you're Mr. Dinan is trashing Chris. You're starting to remind me of Rozlyn. Luckily I didn't start watching The Bachelor until he was down to about 6 girls. Initially I thought Ali was a doll. Then I witnessed her and the other 2 girls that were kicked off together (which I thought was fantastic) being cruel, judgmental and vindictive. I immediately was disgusted by all three after that. I was impressed that Ali smartened up and realized that she was being vicious. I have a new respect for her. Leave Vienna alone. This is Jake's choice – not ours. I'm disgusted to see such BULLYING by these women. It's really very disheartening. As far as Rozlyn goes, things happen for a reason. Jake is WAY too nice of a guy for this lying tramp. She really seemed to have an ax to grind with Chris when in reality, all of the girls ratted her out – as they should have. That woman is pure evil. How sad that her son has her to look up to. Yuck!
Michelle is just plain CRAZY!!! I can't believe she thinks she is normal. That girl needs to see someone.
After the women tell all and the scenes from next weeks show, this is what I am hoping. that we see a recap of officer and a gentleman!! That jake sends both women packing and flies off to get Ali. That is what should happen. Vienna needs to wake up, she only makes comments " this is how I want to live" Ane Tinley.. My exhusband this, my ex husband that.....get over it.
I hope that Ali or Gia is the next bachlorette!! We need to kisss this season Goodbye!
The Bachelor is low life TV at its finest. What a crock. Didn't Jake look a little sheepish on the show. Why, you may ask? Oh, because he picked Vienna at the end. Yes, that white swamp trashy girl, and they have since broken up, of course. He is a loser of the royal degree, and picking Vienna just shows you what low life he is.
So, all his lines (fed by the producers) were pure bull. Jake would not know a quality lady if she ran him over. He is a scumbag for sure.
And yes, Ali will be the next Bachelorette. Anyone could see that they way they highlighted her.
I feel most sorry for Tenley, who is a real nice lady. Unfortunately, not so bright for 1)going on this fake show, and 2)actually falling for flakey Jakey. She is lucky for sure he is going to dump her.
I wonder at the end of this Women Tell All show, if Jake went over and hit on a few of the gals that he dumped, now that he is no longer with Vienna. I'd give you great odds that he actually did!
To whoever wrote this article... it looks like somebody named James Dinan... If you don't like the show, why do you have to have to write about it at all? If you're forced to watch and write, you must not have had much of a life. Couldn't you find a job writing about something you like? Maybe not, the writing's not very good.
The Bachelor is an okay show. It's better than most of the stuff thrown out there today, "reality" or otherwise.
I love the thought of Ali coming to Jake's rescue next week. She has been my favorite since the day she got out of that limo in that yellow dress. So, she wasn't a fan of some of the other girls...what girl is truly BFF with all the girls in their mans' lives? I know I'm not.
I think Gia would be just fine on the next stint. I think her own deal would help her break out a bit. I think Ashleigh would be a great next bachelorette as well.
Gia looked like Criss Angel in a dress. Her lispy babytalk is exhausting.
Blah! We could have just gone to the final episode so that this season would just end.
Seems to me that if "Rozzie" girl was innocent, she wouldn't have remained so quiet....would have been defending herself at that point.... but instead was quick to leave when Chris Harrison approached her on that one episode about "inappropriatness" with a staff member. Don't ya think?
i agree with miriam – i think he will reject both and ask Ali to be with him. or bnetter yet, what 'b' said: "I predict Jakes return on the new season of "The Batchelorette" to try and win back Ali's love.....watch."
i'd the producers to pick a better selection of women next time. enough of the early-twentties/models/waitresses girls that are soooooo ready for marriage and kids (did you guys take notice of the reunion gang?? those guys & girls that were sooooooooo ready for marriage and in love and blah blah blah are soooooooooooo NOT! they want to party & flirt & get down and dirty as much as they can – good for them!) – not that age is everything but life esxperience is. a 23year old woman or man can't possibly know enough about life & relationships to be 'ready' for marriage & all. show us the real deal: mid-thirties &up man – late 20s & up women (ok, ok.. that might not work either but can't you give it a try??? we need another 'triista & ryan" happy ending for crying out loud!!
and I love Chris' sarcasm
why doesnt this show take someone girl or guy down short & few extra pounds and show the real world how they find love. The show is over over over.
Did you see how Jake was about to break down and cry when he was talking to Ali??? Oh yeah, there are still emotions for one another there! My thoughts are, is that Jake is not going to choose either Tenley or Vienna, but get back with Ali!
My two cents... Jake will pick neither Vienna nor Tinley... he made a comment in last nights episode that eludes to the idea that he has made other tough decisions 'that have not aired yet." He seemed to have eyes for Ali last night... I bet he will end up with her in the end after this season of the Bachelor has finished airing. Time will tell.
And my vote for next bachelorette (if I bother to watch this show in the future) is for Gia.... beautiful, sweet and classy.
This is the most disapointing show I have ever seen. It was like a Jerry Springer show. Made up to thow mud around and what does it mattter if someone may have been flirting on the show. I can not believe this is the first time. I believe the show was going flat and they needed something to give it news worthy. I dont think either of the girls are a match to someone like Jake. Remeber people what he did in the last show, then you will know he's out for show biz not love.
Yawn. The only part I was awake was when Chris and Roslyn started their cat fight. That was fun.
He should of never not given Gia the rose, Gia seems very calm, out going and likeable. The two left are big mistakes, he is better off not selecting either one.
If anyone really paid attention to the show last week, Jake asked Vienna about rings she liked, thick vs thin bands, stone shape (she likes princess), etc. That should maybe be a clue who he's going to pick since he never asked the other girls that question. Yes, she is very immature and don't think she's even close to ready for marriage. Ali has more grace and maturity than Vienna, hands down. Tenley would be far better but we'll have to see what actually happens. I read a spoiler several weeks ago that Vienna was picked but who knows......
Chris did everything right. Roslyn was disrespectful and only made herself look even worse. I love Chris Harrison and if he wasn't happily married i would want him to be the bachelor
I sure do hope that Jake decides that neither one of the girls left are for him, Tenley not telling all and Vienna well we all know what and how she is and if he thought that he was hurt before, either one of these two would be disaster.
ok, I haven't caught most of the episodes this season, but I haven't missed reading these run-downs. hahaha, what a hoot! thanks for making me smile on Tuesday.
@ Less....who said
"Stop wasting our taxpayers money(s). I use to like to watch the show, but lately it's become ridiculous and foney. Please stop wasting our money(s), and spend it on matters that really need attention....Like getting people JOBS, helping with solutions that can save tpeople(s) homes, getting our children better education plannings, and making ever $ count for everyone..."
What in the heck are you talking about???? What taxpayer money is being wasted??? This is a reality TV show...if you don't like it don't watch...I watch for entertainment plain and simple. ABC recieved no Bailout from the government...direct you anger at the Banks and Auto Manufactuers for taking taxpayer money where it belongs.
I don't think that Jake knows what love really is, especially when he kept saying how he was falling in love with several of the women. If he really had fallen for Ali, he would of run after her. He has no clue. I look forward to watching the next "Bachelor", when Viana and Tenly visit his parents. I hope they make him realize how immature these two girls are. Viana does not come off as being sincere, so I hope that because his parents and friends are on the outside looking in, that they will be able to convince him that definitely, Viana is not right for him, and Tenly, well, she also has immature tendencies. Jake is better off going after Ali. That would be true love. It would be best if he admits that he made a mistake and send Viana and Tenly home, go after Ali, or just start looking for another girl.
I laughed when one of the women from last night's show said that she believes Tenley dreams in cartoons. That was pretty funny. I wouldn't be surprised if Jake rejects both Tenley and Vienna next week.
I don't think Jake will end up choosing either of them! I think Ali would have been in the final two had she not left and he probably would have chosen her in the end!! She blew it.
It's sad that people actually think this stuff is real. People, how many seasons has this show been on? Both in bachelor and bachelorette form? And how many actual relationships have succeeded out of it? Two? Do you really think people go onto this show with love in their hearts? Does that even make sense when history shows that few if any "proposals" actually end up happening? It's a show for pretty people to be dramatic and get ratings. And I think you can tell that by the caliber of contestants. It becomes more and more clear each season there are definitely people on the show simply for the fame it can bring. Saying the right things, acting the part,etc. just to get more camera time.
Tenley talks too much about her xhusband, not too sure about that classy comment. Vienna is too young but Jake seems kind of immature himself.
Well, thanks to blogs, we already know Vienna "wins" if that's what you want to call it. And we all know that jake is now single so... do we really need a finale next week?
So Ive watched some of the episodes of the Bachelor and the last time I watched a few weeks ago I totally got De Ja Vu.......It was like watching my mom's day time soap opera's ( General Hospital, Days Of our lives, etc.) The Bachelor is ovbiousley a fake stage reality show with horrible actors and a dude that just wants to get laid by as many women as possible who has no intention on finding "true love" this show needs to Go Away!
Nice editing.... geez you have to really bash the show eh? Really disappointed with the CNN writer for this one.
NON OF THOSE GIRLS ARE GOOD FOR HIM !! After the show he will find someone out of the spot light. or in the bachelor's reunion from previous season.
Roslyn should not have come back. They all ganged up on her. Ali is such a brat. She was so mean on the show regarding Vienna. If she's the new bachelorette, I won't be watching.
Have ya'll seen this producer???!!!!!!!!!! OMG what is Rozlyn even thinking?
Um Kiraxx, maybe you should learn to read. I was responding to Tess. Then maybe you could respond. Now who is the idiot??? (Democrat)....
And another thing, Ali was afraid she was going to lose the competition – that's why she backed out. She's not used to having to fight for a guy. And she wasn't going to risk losing to Vienna.
Not sure why some of you do not care for Ali, but she actually believed like The Pretty Woman, that Jake would come and get her. That's what she wanted him to do to prove his feelings for her. And he really wanted her to jump out of the limo and come running back. She is right, its a show and if he chooses Tenley or Vienna and it doesn't work, which it won't for long, she hopes he will come knocking at her door saying he should never have let her go. That would be a storybook ending. Whether it happens or not, we'll see. I have no prob with Ali being the next bachelorette if he doesn't. I liked Gia too, but she is so shy and introverted, she hasn't the right personality to be the bachelorette for TV. I was shocked when Rozlyn came out with her comment to Chris about hitting on the producer's wife. Low blow aimed because she had nothing else to go on. She had been proven a liar by too many of the girls. One may have lied or exaggerated, but not so many.
All this being said, I really don't like Jake anymore and don't really care if he gets his wife or not.
Vienna is the best choice. She is real, and speaks her mind. That's more than can be said for the other girls. And I think she is honest. The other girls are just jealous of her. Probably Vienna will become fake and a liar after she gets to be the age the other girls are. But right now she is fine, and that's why Jake likes her.
Chris Harrison is a jerk, and I hate him almost as much as I do Ryan Seacrest. His excuse about 'dignifying her' question was just an out for him. Rozlyn shouldn't have dignified several of his questions too, especially after he repeated them 3 or 4 times. Like he had some real dirt on her.
I think Chris Harrison wants to be the next bachelor. What a jerk.
Every time I see a story about this show I feel the need to ask again: WHY would women want to be on a show and compete with other women for a guy they don't even know? I mean, you can do that at a bar, and when you get shot down it's not in front of a nation. I mean really – is he THAT good of a guy? No, he is like all the other. That last Jason bachelor proved that. Ladies, please.....use the Internet!
I find it hard to believe Ali's job was in jeopardy, considering when she signed up for this gig she knew approximately how long she would have to participate. It seems to me that she was only trying to force Jake to promise he would choose her, which was certainly premature at that point and left him no option but to let her go. Rozlyn, clearly is still in a relationship with the producer. When she decided that the producer was the one she wanted and not Jake she should have gracefully bowed out of the show instead of trying to deny. Calling everyone liars and staking her child life on her claims of innocence did nothing for her reputation. Gia, should have tried to wear her heart on her sleeve, she may have gotten further, and she admitted that. I am not sure why Michelle constantly packed and threatened to leave, you can only threaten that so many times before it comes true, I am sure Jake was just fed up with her bizarre behavior.
Despite what most people seem to feel about Vienna, I like her, she seems honest and fun, albeit she may be young and somewhat immature, I see some of that immaturity in Jake, maybe they can grow up together. Tenley, I like as well, she appears to be fun loving, mature and sincere. Jake has an interesting choice ahead.
I think Jake is going to reject both women next week and then hook up with Ali. The way he talked to her last night was a prelude of what's to come. Mark my words!
After hearing Jake's answers and Ali's comments last night... I think he will not propose to any girl at the final episode. And later, go back to Ali.... I think this is what will happen. They are a good couple and it's obvious that they still love each other.

I'm a big fan of the show, however this season was pretty stupid.
I like Jake and he will make the right choice! and I can tell you, he is NOT going to pick vienna or Tenley. He is going to be another Brad!!
soo, relax ........the boy knows what he is doing, he is super smart, he had his fun on the show and at the end no girl. not good enough for him. YOU GO BOY!!!!!!
There is definately chemistry between Ali and Jake. You can tell by how they look at each other. I have said from the beginning that Jake doesn't pick anyone. Vienna is too young and Tenley is not over the fact that she is divorced. When they show previews for the final episode both girls look like they are not crying happy tears. Roz can't face the truth that she's a floozy. She needs to stop being a loose woman and raise her son. Grow- up. I think him and Ali should give it another try. They act like they still care for each other. Stay tuned.
arabmama: our tax dollars do not fund television. perhaps you should learn more about how your own government works. are you a democrat, by chance?
jake is adorable, ali is annoying, vienna is childish and i just love the sincerity of tenley.
if you don't like the show, change the f&*%ing channel.
is it just me, or is "the bachelor" a lame excuse for a series?
why do we have to stoop so low as to go on a television ahow to find "love" or whatever you call it now?
it is obvious to anyone with an ounce of common sense that most of the women on the show would have no problem finding a suitor. obviously they're very 'telegenic' if you want to call it that, and everyone knows that most of us are shallow these days. that is why i conclude that these so called ladies are doing this for attention, money, or some other alternate reason other than what the show is meant for.
get a real man for the show.
then get some real ladies.
OUT
I agree..this season has not been "the best" . I anticipate it comming on every week but the past few episodes have been...dry..basically 100% predictable, and i find it hard to sit through 2 hrs of it all. Personally I Liked Gia the best..I was extreemly surprised when he let her go. I'd like to see Gia as the next Bachlorette for sure! SO now this fool Jake is stuck with Vieanna, the broke ass, fake Floridian that needs a root job desperately or Snow friggin white Tenly. lol "fell out of a disney movie". I Don't Know what's worse!! Good Luck Jakeypoo..you're in for it either way!
I don't understand why Rozlyn not falling at Jake's feet makes her so awful. So what if she liked someone else? So what if she touched some guys leg, or made a flirty comment about putting her to bed? She is single and on a reality show. When did not falling for the guy who is kissing 25 other women makes that person crazy, unstable, and a tramp? I think the other girls are even crazier for thinking the show is real, and a great way to meet a man. Btw, Chris acted like a complete ass with Rozlyn- like she broke his heart by not following the rules of love for Jake. Seriously??
Doesnt Matter who he goes with – they will be broken up within 3 months! everyone knows that.
I don't think he will pick either Kenley or Vienna, just a hunch. I think he is still carrying a torch for Jillian.
The show is a joke, but Jake is hot.
Gia needs to be the next Bachelorette!
I learned a lot about personality.
I think Gia is the best choice for the next bachelorette.
Ali is not sincere and very show biz.
My vote is for Gia. Is anybody is on the band wagon rooting for her besides me?I read some previous comments and realized some people have the same thinking as I have. Please vote for her.
OMG, don't you guys realize that the whole show is a fake? How have you missed Reality Steve's website, where he's already told you who wins and why. He uncovered the whole Rozlyn scandal and what is going on with Ali. Yet you guys are arguing over who Jake picks, when we already know. About who the next Bachelorette is, when we already know. And whether the Rozlyn thing was fake, which we already know. Clue in please.
Vienna wins...has been reported and leaked since basically the beginning of the season.
"Stop wasting our taxpayers money(s). I use to like to watch the show, but lately it's become ridiculous and foney.
Please stop wasting our money(s), and spend it on matters that really need attention....Like getting people JOBS, helping with solutions that can save tpeople(s) homes, getting our children better education plannings, and making ever $ count for everyone..."
This is my favorite. I was unaware that Obama authorized government spending for the Bachelor this year. I only hope he continues to budget for next season!
That being said, I agree with this reader that we need to put more money in the education system... every time I hear Vienna speak, I cry a little inside for the children of America.
Go Tenley!
Okay, first, to those of you who do not realize that Gia and Ali are off the show, why are you saying anything? You obviously don't even watch the show – they're gone. Gone. As far as all the psycho babble about the morals, values, behaviors, qualities, etc. of the people on this show – if that's what you're looking for, you're totally watching the wrong show – go watch National Geographic. Prime Time Reality TV is all about entertaining the TV audience with the stuff that appeals to our weaknesses as human beings, such as: sex, misbehavior, drama, infidelity, lying, cheating, gold-digging, etc. THAT's why people watch these types of shows. So, if you don't find it entertaining, quit complaining and stop watching, it's as simple as that.
There are no words to describe this show... other than STAGED. Sad Indeed. Desperate people + stupid host = TOTAL embarassment.
he'll be like all the other bachelors' pick the inappropriate one, date here a few weeks then they'll split. and they'll both beon the cover oep People with a big 'split down the middle. Why even bother? At least they got the show right. he'll be a 'bachelor' again.
this show is soooo staged it's sad........
Rozlyn said, "Touché.... Chris Harrison... Touché."
I predict Jakes return on the new season of "The Batchelorette" to try and win back Ali's love.....watch.
Rozlyn is a donkey. She completely embarassed herself.
Ali is being set up to be the next Bachelorette... Maybe they'll bring some REALity back to reality TV with her show... Or maybe not.
Watch, Guys..in the previews in a distance...you see a helicopter......Voila!!! It's Ali to come to his (Jake's} rescue...after all this is "til death do us part...for better or worse...." It's Ali to the rescue...Last night she and Jake just had this look......After all the other shock's...this does seem possible...
Please this has got to be Clear, that Roxy girl is trash. Period. She says that she isn't well you act like it. I think Jake will pick Vienna . and Gia will be the next bachlorette. I don't know what happen to Ali. She was my favored
You go girl, tell 'em like it is!, JH February 23rd, 2010 10:03 am ET
Tess, are you stupid or what? tax payers money–are you responding to the wrong article. Ha
I happened to turn the show on because there was nothing else to watch and I was truly amazed. Has there ever been a larger collection of vapid (both male and female) individuals gathered together in one room????
The FINAL 2 couldnt be more different... Tenley is classy, Vienna is classless.... but they can both get annoying!
Vienna says she's never been in love before. Wait a second, wasn’t she was married to one guy and engaged to another? WEIRD!!
As for Tenley... keeps saying "I love everything about you!" but as usual, she KEEPS bringing up her ex-husband. She reminds Jake AGAIN that she has only been with ONE other man so this is a BIG step. In the Fantasy Suite, they talk about morals before getting busy... Jake's like, "Yeah, yeah, totally, I sooo respect your values and morals. So do you want to go make out in the pool now?" She doesn't hesitate for a second. Maybe its because Jake asked her to dance earlier? Which is her favorite activity, like, EVER...
Aaaaaaaaaaah too funny. I just hope he DOESN'T pick Vienna. But I CANT STAND JAKE either, so I couldnt care less.
As for the next BACHELORETTE, I will NOT watch if it ends up being ALI. The fakest out of the bunch. I would much rather watch GIA!!!!!!! She has my vote 🙂
I hope Gia is the next bachelorette, she is pretty elegant and honest.
I can say that I didn't watch, too busy watching real tv to care such as the Olympics. well anyways at this point don't care because he will pick the one we don't want.
When you see the montage of the next episode, it is clear the difference between the two women he has to choose from: Tenley is classy and would be a good wife and Vienna is low rent and would be a good bang. He'll probably choose the latter like so many men do and then wonder later how he got hooked up with a cheap gold digger.
Go Tinley!!!
OK less, you know that our tax dollars don't fund this show, right???
Rozlyn is a lying tramp. Did anyone watch her face??? To bring up that the producer was married only hurt the wife, and children if any. Especially hers. Ali, that was such a put on about the job/Jake thing. I think that Jake is classless, himself. I hope he gets what he deserves, Vienna. What a floozy....Please bring back some class to this show. It used to be fun to watch. Now it's just another freak show.
Chris, I am glad you stood up for yourself but why put yourself in that postion by bringing her back in the first place. Yes, all producers visit the contestant's home, RIGHT!!!!! Gia, you are a doll but you don't have the confidence to do a bachelorette on your own.
As for the next Bachelorette, does anyone else think Ashleigh would be an interesting choice? She seems much more lively than Ali, Gia or any of the other "front runners" for that spot. I think she's beautiful, and guys would definitely like her!
Just a thought! 🙂
I still think that Jake is not going to pick either one of the two left ... He is just going to walk away. It looked as though in the previews his family did not like Vienna!!!!
I think he will seek Ali out and they will date – Didn't he tell her that she had a "lifelong friend"!!!!!
I say he picks Tenley. He'd be crazy to pick Vienna, but then again, most of the time they pick the one you don't think they should (and look at their success rate, hmmm). He should pick neither of them and then run back to Aly, but that won't happen either. (I guess it could though......)
Aly can't be the next Bachelorette - she'd have to give up her job.......(that would be a slap in Jake's face if she were to give up her job to do that, wouldn't it?)
It's called ENTERTAINMENT. It wouldn't be on the air if it did not make money for the network. Lighten up! It was fun. Roz signed a contract and broke it. She was supposed to at least pretend she was falling for Jake for the few weeks she was there. She and the producer BOTH blew it. Did they truly believe nothing would happen when they messed with a multimillion dollar money machine?
I enjoyed the "show" and can't wait till the finale. Everyone knows Jake picks Vienna. (Poor Choice, but then again it is only an entertainment show)
I hope who ever he picks , he dumps them and comes
back to ali . vienna-yech
Has Jake found the knob so he can open the door to the closet he is in??? I think Ali did what she did because she wants to be the next bachlorette...
I just don't get it... if you don't like the show, don't watch it and stop ridiculing those of us to do. My husband & I look forward to Monday nights to watch the Bachelor, it's fun and mindless entertainment in an otherwise hectic day.
So if you don't like the show, and claim not to watch it, why are you spending time on the blogs knocking it? Don't you have something better to do? You're obviously a bunch of hypocrites.
I enjoy the show each season and hope it continues to entertain us for many more.
This season had just as much drama as any other...at least it's pretty obvious that Jake has been sincere, albeit occasionally moronic, throughout the whole ordeal. The Rozlyn event seemed like a producer-fabricated lie to kill two birds with one dramarama episode, and Rozlyn was being victimized for ratings... but in this episode, she sort of indirectly admitted it when she got hostile towards Chris (although no one could blame her- a televised audience just applauded AGAINST her. that is utterly humiliating).
Michelle is a crazy bird, all right.
Ali is over-rated and I am sick of her already. Other women deserved to have air time instead of the show giving the spotlight to Ali, Rozlyn and headcase Michelle. Rozlyn has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.... she is pretty- THATS IT. Rozlyn truly made an ass of herself on national television. She tripped over her own words and had trouble explaining her quick exit. She was nailed to the wall by the other women and did not seem believable at all. Her comment to Chris about him hitting on some guys' wife in HI was tacky. I do not think Rozlyn should have gone on the show-nothing was accomplished except making her look like a liar and a phony. She's an idiot.
If the laugh tracks added to Michelle's disgrace, imagine Roz's reaction when she viewed the final edit on HER segment! As far as Ali is concerned, don't hope for a show with more integrity with her at the helm... she "woke up" in San Francisco with a cameraman filming her. All this cheap stuff has been added to embelish a show that made the unfortunate decision to invite an incredibly BORING bachelor!
I enjoyed the show. People are saying Michelle is emotionally unstable, but I think Rozlyn is a time bomb waiting to go off.....a little scary. Her poor child (whose life she swore on...who does that?). I think Jake will not choose Vienna or Tenley, I think he and Ali already have something in the works. Can't wait till Monday.
It wasn't as bad as you make it sound. Was it compelling TV, no, but then no one ever said it was suppose to be. Jake is a fake & Rozlyn is the biggest liar around. Chris maintained his cool despite the 2 min. wonder Rozlyn telling him to calm down. Who the heck does she think she is? I think Chris showed remarkable calm by not slapping her silly. I don't think Jake pics either Vienna or Tenley. Just my own prediciton, but based purely on body language & eye contact non-contact, I think he finally thinks with his mind & heart & not that other part of him & actually goes after Ali, who in my estimation is not only pretty, but intelligent & handles herself well. I'm just saying.
I think Rozlyn is a joke. I would be totally humilated for not being able to tell the truth. What a liar. I think Chris Harrison handled her comment about him hitting on someone's elses wife very well, although if his looks could kill.....!
I think Jake is a good guy... Not sure about Tenley for him or Vienna, if I was forced to pick, I said he should land with Tenley. Vienna is too immature and is not marriage material.
It's obviously a ratings stunt! The show is wrong. Why do so many people care about this/them?

Body and facial language folks....Rozelyn was lying all the way!!!!!
Michelle STILL seems as crazy now as she was then. I agree with one of the women bachelors, she's unstable and needs counseling! Rozlyn is UNBELIEVABLE. OMG...what a liar!! She needs help of another kind or this whole stunt of hers was about her 15 min. of fame. I was hoping the audience would have booed her off the stage.
All in all the show was good, entertaining. The blooper segment was fun. Jake is still a classy guy!
This trash needs to be removed from the air. The women are all sluts and ABC needs to stop pimping them to their audience. This is the worst TV show in the history of ABC.
Oh, come on, you left out the best part: where Rozlyn asked Chris if he considered that ex-producer a friend, to which Chris responded he did. To which Rozlyn then said that was news to the ex-producer, especially considering the fact that Chris hit on his wife in Hawaii! (???) Chris didn't dignify it with an answer. Good for him. I think it was at that point that I realized just how classless Rozlyn was to say that on the air. She only confirmed to me her untruthfulness in the whole affair. What a fine example to set as a mother. I hate these stupid reality TV shows...go away, all of you!
Stop wasting our taxpayers money(s). I use to like to watch the show, but lately it's become ridiculous and foney.

Are you kidding me. During the Ryan and Trista stage, it
still had some class, but over the past two or three shows, it's
more like Jerry Springer.
Why even bring her (Rozlyn) on the show. Over and done with.
So what if she had a bigger connection with the producer
than Jake....Move on. Right or wrong, your bashing her on the show
to prove that you guys did nothing wrong is WRONG, CHEAP and
made the show cheezy. Well cheezier than what its become.
I hope that if Ali is the next one, they bring it back to where it all
began. Sensationalism is better left to the news media.
Let this be a reality show with some class at least.
Hahaha great article. I totally agree with everything you said. I am still wondering why Rozlyn agreed to come on yesterday – it was awkward for everybody. It is SO pathetic to me how Ali pretended she was being real when she chose work over Jake. It was obviously staged. I cant stand to watch all these women cry over one man – who is very annoying to say the least. I just wonder if they are getting paid to say these things... because it is incredibly dumb on their part to look so desperate.
Chris Harrison needs to move on. He's an a**.
What happened to Ali?! She was my favorite for Jake. I don't really like either of the two finalists for him... 🙁
It was good...why do you guys have to bash it this way.........
how dumb is Rozlyn to announce that the producer is married when everyone is attacking her for sleeping with him. She only made herself look worse.
It's clear Jake is thinking with his 'nether' parts... and has already made poor choices...
I predict he will continue and choose the white trashy vienna...
The only thing I am taking away from this episode is that Ali is still thinking that she's queen of the world. Ugh. My girlfriend and I hope that Gia will be the next Bachelorette!
