Oh, what a hot mess this is turning into! This Jake Pavelka/Vienna Girardi fake romance and breakup seems like a lot of trouble to go through just to prolong your faux celebrity. So, let’s recap: nobody could understand why Bachelor Jake chose Vienna in the first place; both Jake and Vienna became world-class fame whores; some actor dude claimed he made out with Vienna, who told him that the engagement ring she got from Jake was “for the show”; Vienna gets dumped by Jake on the phone and then sells her story of Lies! Fights! Abuse! to Star Magazine. On top of all of that trashy behavior, and these two twits get rewarded with a TV interview conducted by “The Bachelor” host Chris Harrison. As predicted, it was a total trainwreck that ended with Vienna storming off the set in tears and Jake not being able to get a word in edgewise.
Things got very heated between Jake Pavelka and ex-fiancee Vienna Girardi when they reunited for the first time since announcing their split at a two-hour ABC taping Thursday.
The two arrived separately at an undisclosed location to film the segment, set to air during “The Bachelorette” July 5, to discuss their highly publicized split.
Though Internet reports claim Pavelka, 32, raised a fist at Girardi, 24, an insider tells UsMagazine.com: “It did not happen. He was calm and collected.”
At one point, after Girardi kept cutting him off, Pavelka stood up. But the insider says he simply asked, “Will you just let me finish?”
“He couldn’t get a word out — it was very reflective of their relationship,” says the source, who adds that host Chris Harrison often had to tell Girardi, “Vienna, let him talk.”
“Vienna was on the defense,” the source tells Us. “She was trying to play victim.”
She ended up storming off the set in tears.
“Jake has lost all respect for her,” the source tells Us. “She crossed the line when she sold their relationship to Star.”
The blow-up Thursday only reaffirmed that they made the right decision to call it quits, says the insider.
Adds the source, “They couldn’t even have an adult conversation while a mediator was there with them.”
I hope this means we can be done with these two. I’m not sure which one I hate more: the Heidi Montag wanna-be or the commercial pilot-turned method actor. They both seem like shallow, terrible people. And it also really begs the question: Why does “The Bachelor” still air? Year after year they promote one sham relationship after another. Only one couple in 14 seasons has actually made it down the aisle- all the others have crashed and burned.

When he picked her I thought he was ten times better looking than her. And yet, despite the fact that she looks like a Muppet, I think he might actually be uglier than her now.
And now my fondest hope is that I will never have to hear anything about either of those two again.

Change the name of The Bachelor/Bachelorette to “Famewhore Dating Game” “Famewhore Mating Dance” or “How to Extend Your Famewhoring Future” or something more appropriate.
None of these people are actually looking for love, they’re looking for free publicity or fame; the whole thing is even more ridiculous than it was when it started a forever-ago. One of the many reasons I refuse to watch “reality” tv.

Vienna’s eyelashes remind me of a dustpan brush. So can we just sweep these two untalented nobodies under a rug?

He’s lost respect for her?? I think of all the feelings he (may have) had for her at one time, I doubt he ever actually respected her.
She obviously wasn’t prepped before the interview. If there was any doubt before it, I’d say there’s now none regarding how the interview’s going to be cut to look and they probably won’t have to edit too hard to make her look like a total whackjob.
It’s a blessing in disguise he didn’t pick the other one. From the sounds of it she was more genuine and probably more invested in a real relationship. It would have been unfortunate to see her shafted. Vienna, not so much.

There are millions and millions of really dumb and delusional women in America. That’s why the show is still on.

I don’t get it. Before the break up hit the gossip pages, most people assumed Vienna was a fake & a liar. But suddenly now people believe she is completely telling the truth?! HA!! They are both fame whores and want to come out on top of the break up. They are just out to beat the other one down. Pretty sad.

In response to those who can’t figure out why the show is still on or why people watch: I’m assuming the others watch for the same reason I watch, because the people on it are so ridiculous that it’s endlessly fun to mock them. It’s pure mocking gold from start to finish.

Sweet false lashes, Vienna. Lol, they look like something I’d wear for Halloween.
And I thought jake was a cutie the first time I saw him, but in my opinion you (or at least, *I*) can really see a person for who they are in their eyes, and his are full of phony-baloney. I think he’s a snakey snake.

I’m sure this blow-up was well-scripted in advance.
Has there ever been a reality show star who became a successful working actor? Ever? And I don’t mean a “personality” like Elizabeth on The View or the Kardashians. Someone who has a career playing other people. Successfully. I don’t think there’s even one.

These two are both carved from cream cheese. If you are on pretty much any “reality” show, you are at the very least a bit of an attention whore.

I heard that she was “chosen” for him by ABC thus why amidst the “warnings” from the other women she always stayed.
I check out Reality Steve and watch to see it all unfold. If it weren’t for DWTS they’d be history long ago.

@Grace, I agree with you from beginning to end, it is pure entertainment and even fascinating to watch when put in the proper category..although I admit, I do think she is a very pretty Muppet. Unique face. She may be a fame whore but she’s not nearly as irritating as he is.
He is so totally annoying and false and uncomfortable in his own skin and it makes me believe all the gossip about him. He seems to be hiding so much from himself and about himself and it results in a stiff oddness.
I believe he’s gay and locked deeply in the closet because of his religious beliefs and that he picked her because he had no respect for her in the first place and would confirm for him his disgust for women in general.
I am so conflicted about this…I wish he would go away and stay away & yet I love to watch his trajectory toward nowhere.

And the truly sad part is that the “actor guy” that has become tangled in this (Gregory Michael) is actually a really good guy—generous, genuine, drama-free. I really hope his name doesn’t get dragged through the mud here. The last thing that needs to happen to a good guy like that is to be known as “the other guy in that stupid Bachelor shit”.

So many insightful comments, it’s hard to follow these (“I blame society”, “Ice Cubes on the ears”..and who can forget the now classic “FameWhore”).
My take is, i really hope all the networks that have reality shows are taking a page from BP’s lessons learned for the current clean up effort in the Gulf…whenever PROFIT is your number one Priority and you’re dealing with actual lives (whether it be Brown Pelicans who are now Browner Pelicans or “muppet looking”, former fiance’s who can’t get thru an interview now without crying), did the harm done to these lives really get offset by the money you make from the rating boost?
You network guys and producers dangle the promise of “love” (like a mechanical rabbit being chased by greyhounds on a race track) as some sort of reward for these folks. And when that reward inevitably reveals itself to be as elusive and unattainable as that speedy rabbit those dogs are chasing and the relationships crash and burn and these folks are trying to just make sense of it all and pick up the pieces…pieces you helped create as producers (because thats good TV, right?), are you offering them any sort of help? Maybe using some money from the ratings..the ratings they helped generate?
I would think that would be the obvious response. I would think that would be the least you networks could do and it would be done without hesitation. I would think (and hope) that maybe…maybe actually helping someone (that you helped hurt) would be a natural, instinctive response. That’s what i would think….and i’d be wrong every time.

Love to see how much of this was in the original contract and was scripted. Did the show pay for the ring? The other woman (Melissa?) must be overjoyed. Catherine-you are so right-Morons!

jake the fake has the most annoying fake smile. the reason he has lost all respect for vienna, is because he has no respect for himself. he is a total inauthentic fake. he is gay, and an attention whore. the whole deal with vienna was a cover from day one. please take them off the tabloids, the air, and everything else, especially jake, as it all is feeding his narcissism.

Well I know they’re not actual ice cubes, but why would anyone want to have fake ice cubes on their ears?
I watched it this season because my mom records it and I was always trapped in the living room with my little girl as I did homework.
I will never, ever tune in again.

The ring was supplied by the production company and must be returned to it since there is no wedding.

Producing the Bachelor and it’s heinous spinoffs is cheaper than producing a scripted drama.
And the public generally loves it for some unfathomable reason.

I can’t help but notice on all the interviews Vienna gave this week: despite all her boo-hooing and wiping her eyes, her eye makeup (and false eyelashes) do not get messed up at all!
Amazing!! And oh -so- phoney! These 2 suited each other on that level.
And Chris Harrison can continue to do his phoney part in all this: pretend caring for these people as he laughs all the way to the bank!!

I thought he said he wanted to “knock her out” during an interview. Lucky escape Vienna, whether its for real or not, violence against women is not ok.

Yet another lesson in How to Win the PR Game.
Look at the bigger picture: It’s the Bachelor. They do something every season to keep you talking about otherwise irrelevant people.
It’s working for Disick. He took the cue from Pratt.
They don’t like oblivion. They’re far too insecure and greedy for that.

I’m so sick of both of them but to tell the truth I actually feel for Vienna. I think she really felt she could have a happy ending. Jake has done nothing to put anything into making thier relationship work…or real.Everything he has done since the show has been all about him meanwhile Vienna followed him around filled with hope. Each time I see him I think he is less and less attractive, it’s amazing how a person looks when you start to see thier soul. Meanwhile while you see what the show is doing to Ali (setting her up for heartbreak after heartbreak ) I’m giving up watching for good. The producers need to grow a heart and find some morals. These are people they are dealing with, real people with real lives,they need to stop destroying everyone they touch. There are enough hard things going on in this world right now without thier help. The only good thing that the producers have seemed to do over all these years is cure Ali’s fear of flying!

Mooncake, yes! If Tom Cruise and Jennifer Aniston had a baby, it would be Jake.
Has this interview already been on? Or is this the network hyping the special?

I don’t watch these shows but you can’t help but hear a lot. Vienna took the last of her ex’s money to get a boob job, she couldn’t get along w/any of the other girls on the show. She just sounds like a total B-TCH. Jake probably was so sick of her just the idea of making love w/her curdled his stomach.
All this is from other media reports on the 2 of them.

Eden….you said it right. Jake is a tormented soul that will find it impossible to make ANY woman happy….EVER….it is just not going to happen. And the woman that tries to make him happy will self-destruct trying!

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
