The Bachelor...

Oh how everyone was in love with Jake! I was for sure, well, I was more smitten with him and I thought he was everything that most of us girls wanted (myself included). He seemed like an all-American guy who really wanted to find love and eventually a wife. And someone tell me, what makes pilots so darn attractive? I agree, that they are, but I just don't know why there are! But, I mean look at Jake! Isn't he adorable?!

Well, the finale was this Monday and it probably had to be the most nerve-racking Bachelor for me. One minute I thought and hoped that it was Tenley and the next minute I thought it was going to be Vienna. Not cool ABC!

I'm a huge fan of Tenley. I thought was so cute when she said her name was like the number 10! So cute and memorable on the first night of meeting Jake! I thought she was adorable. She seemed full of life and wanted Jake to be a part of that and more important wanted her to be life "teammate". And when Jake met her parents and vice-versa, it just seemed to be great to me! I was hoping for a Tenley and Jake finale. I thought it would have just been perfect. I do have to applaud Tenley for going back in to the field after what seemed to not be a great divorce. What a great thing you did and I hope you brought some of the women who were in the same situation as you to get up and go out and find someone. America loves you Tenley and you will find someone who loves you for all of you! And, you have the majority of American rooting for you to find love. You will find someone! At least I think so.

Right from the bat, I didn't like Vienna. She seemed to immature for Jake and someone who was just in it to be on television. I mean, the girl asked right away when she first met him if she can feels a guys abs. Um, awkward much. I wouldn't have like that if I were Jake. Throughout the show, when she got into tiffs with some of girls, the I-Don't-Like-This-Girl meter went up even higher. Then, when I started reading the tabloids, I didn't even like her even more. But, I probably should remember that that's the tabloids wanting a story. And when the hometowns came along and her mom said that she has been having girl problems for long time... hello another red flag!

As much as I am a "Team Tenley" girl, the thing is: what we see on The Bachelor is not everything. It's only a glimpse of what actually went on. When I was watching the show, I had a sneaky feeling that it was going to be Vienna. The only time it fooled me was when Jake had both rings in his hands and put the princess cut one down. (Real Bachelor fans know which one is which, but you can check out the picture that I made.) I got really excited because this meant that it was Tenley. Leave it to the Producers of The Bachelor to throw me for yet another loop.

However, looking back on it, Jake was in love with both and he wanted to find love and a wife. I guess he found one. The show didn't really show Vienna in the best light, but, after reading an interview on E! I was not that disgusted with Jake's choice. At least it seems like they have the same values and I can totally see him wanting a wife who wants to be a stay at home mom. I mean, it could have been really bad, he could have picked crazy Michelle! Looking at the photo that is on the fan page for The Bachelor on Facebook, Vienna and Jake look happy. And, that's what Jake wanted.

Let's face it though: no one from The Bachelor, not The Bachelorette, has ever married the person that they proposed to on the show or even dated after the show. So, maybe history will repeat itself? Looking at the track record, I think so.

This probably was the most controversial Bachelor in a long time. Let's not forget about Rozlyn, Jake sending Michelle home before the rose ceremony, and of course, Ali having to choose between Jake or her job.

I do have to say, I am quite excited that Ali is going to be the new Bachelorette. New Trista? I sure hope so. I see a lot of myself in her (I probably would have chose my job too if I were her!) and I can't wait to see the 25 guys in May! Although, anyone who didn't see her becoming the new Bachelorette is kinda blind, they already had her doing publicity like The Ellen Show.

Oh, and let's not forget, we'll get to see Jake show his moves on this season's Dancing With Stars. Crossover ABC... I think so. Maybe we'll see Vienna in the audience (most likely if she seems like the girl who wants to be on TV) or maybe the now "friend if Vienna allows it", Tenley will be there to support Jake too? I don't think he'll last that long unless he's a really good dancer because most people are still upset with his choice of Vienna, so Jake will have to win over America again. Although, he did show off his moves with Tenley several times. Hey ABC! Put Tenley as his dancer! That will definitely spice things up!

What did you guys think of The Bachelor? Are you happy with Jake's choice or not? Do you think Vienna and Jake will last? Are they the new Trista and Ryan? (I don't think they will be, but that's my opinion!) What do you think about Ali being the new Bachelorette? Who else do you think it should have been if it wasn't Ali?
