Bachelor Urgent Headlines: Tenley Loses her Arms in Photo

Tenley seems to have no arms in this photo. She obviously didn't get the memo to cross her arms in front. Did Vixen Vienna bite them off?

Who will fill Jillian’s shoes as the next Bachelorette?

This site reports that " If you’ve been watching The Bachelor this season, you’re probably wondering how the producers have managed to generate such little drama from a show that should be all about the drama. Maybe it’s the choice of Jake as The Bachelor, or perhaps even the choices Jake has made with the women. The first two episodes were somewhat amusing but since then it’s been snoozeville for me. And really, Jake? Vienna in the top two? Maybe he sees something that the rest of the country doesn’t, but choosing her over Gia (or anyone else for that matter) makes us wonder about his priorities.

You also may be wondering why ABC spent so much time on the Jake/Ali phone conversation last night. We all knew Ali Fedotowski wasn’t coming back to the show, so why devote so much airtime to their discussion? Ya know why? Because they’re setting this up for Ali to be the next Bachelorette. A few weeks ago I was hearing rumours that ABC was recruiting her to fill Jillian’s shoes, but Ali’s appearance on today’s Ellen show gives the impression that this is much more than a rumour and almost a done deal.

'The Bachelor' recap: St Lucia

Bachelor re-cap at Entertainment Weekly

"We open on the ''mystical'' land of St. Lucia, where a sweaty Jake is settling into his hotel room and helping producers fill time by recapping his experiences with the final three ''ladies.'' Gia is the one he stereotyped as ''a girl who was really easy on the eyes,'' but then he found out she had her book bag stolen in school and realized she has depth. Tenley was someone he thought was ''too good to be true,'' but that worry was wiped from his mind once he learned about how she was emotionally pulverized by her cheatin' ex. And then there's Vienna, the bold seductress who groped his abs right out of the limo. ''I did feel like Vienna was a very risky choice for me,'' recalls Jake, but then she literally talked him off the ledge during their bungee jumping date. ''At that moment, I realized that she was just an amazing girl.'' So what if she's ''a little immature''? They can get married and ''mature together.'' Stellar plan, my man.

The Bachelor: Us Weekly Trashy Article about Sweet Tenley

Via US Weekly

Tenley Molzahn -- one of Bachelor Jake Pavelka's frontrunners -- won sympathy on the hit ABC show by saying that her 15-month marriage ended after her ex, Ryan Natividad, cheated. But the "alleged" other woman tells the new Us Weekly (on newsstands now) that Molzahn, 25, isn't "the sweet girl everyone thinks." "She'd only allow sex once a week...and sometimes she withheld it," says Christina Latham, who is now engaged to Natividad and denies that he ever cheated on Tenley.

The Bachelor: Tenley dances her way into Jake's Heart

In the Bachelor, hometown dates, Tenley performs a special dance just for Jake. How many guys would actually watch a girl perform a special dance and sit there beaming? Are you for real Jake? Weren't you just a little bit bored?

'The Bachelor' Gossip Update: Gia Into Sports Hunks, Vienna "Not Quite That Vicious"

Will Jake's parents, Sallie and Jim Pavelka like Vienna?

Buddy TV talks about Vienna getting herself into hot water (and we don't mean the hot tub).

Vienna Girardi:

Beyond the disparaging remarks from her ex-husband and ex-mother-in-law, an anonymous former classmate spoke to Us Magazine about Vienna's problem personality, saying she "was the girl in high school who would cry because she claimed nobody liked her, then flirt to get attention. She stole a lot of boyfriends."

After the full-on character-bashing, the mag added in a tiny section "defending" Girardi with two half-hearted endorsements: a former Hooters co-worker says Vienna "was happy and outgoing," while another high school classmate named Lindsay Hitchcock tells Us, "She's not quite that vicious. She was always nice to me."

Radar Online found a more ringing endorsement of Vienna's character from a "close family friend" who claims the accusations that Girardi lied, cheated, and stole from her ex-husband are untrue:Vienna did not cheat on her ex-husband, and "never would have married this guy unless he talked her into it," said the friend. Girardi was a "straight A student" on an academic scholarship, and "her father was devastated when she got married and moved to North Carolina but he loaned her the money to set up their new lives there."

'The Bachelor ' Season 14 Final 4: No Wife for Jake Pavelka

Reasons why this blogger doesn't believe Jake Pavelka will marry any of the final four.

Full story here.

Tenley Molzahn, age 25. Tenley has been portrayed as the "good girl" on the show. But the 25 year old is only recently divorced and still seems pained by that. She told Jake all about how her ex husband cheated on her, and the hurt still seems there (according to Us, Molzahn 's divorce was finalized just last year). Tenley's biggest problem is probably that she probably needs to takes things slow and is likely no where near ready for marriage any time soon. If Jake is is, then that could be a deal breaker.

Ali Fedotosky, age 25- Ali is probably the closest to marriage material that Jake has. She doesn't seem to have any real skeletons in her closet either. But producers of The Bachelor have painted her to be catty and frankly, unlikeable. Ali is usually seen badmouthing fellow cast mate Vienna Girardi. In fact, her disdain for Girradi is a main storyline on the show, making Ali's dates with Jake appear to be just an afterthought. It's a shame, because Ali was a favorite early on.

Gia Allemand, age 26. Swimsuit model Gia's racy photo shoot for Maxim has already been all over the Internet. Clearly looking for fame, GIa seems to like Jake, but most fans don't think she'd settle down in Texas to be his wife. According to Us, Gia has already had a few famous boyfriends, including former NY Yankees pitcher Carl Pavano and Chris Campoli of The Ottawa Senators. Let's face it, the girl isn't hurting for dates and Gia's career seems to be the main thing she's pursuing right now.

Vienna Girardi, age 23. Vienna Girardi has been this season's most hated bachelorette, so is it any wonder that her (many) skeletons have come tumbling out of the closet? While she was upfront with Jake about her failed teenage marriage, her story is a tad different than what her ex-husband is saying about their 10 month union.

Jake - maybe Shannon Bair from Season 13 is still available!

The Bachelor 14: Preview of Episode 6

Buddy TV reports that "It's time for the highly anticipated hometown dates on The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love, and this time there's another unexpected twist coming Jake's way. But before Jake crosses the country to meet Gia, Tenley, Vienna and Ali's family to learn more about the women his falling in love with, check out what went down in last week's episode through our recap: I Left My Heart (and Brain, and Dignity) in San Francisco...

The Bachelor: Interview with Chris Harrison

TV Guide Interviews Chris Harrison about The Bachelor and Vienna.

Full interview with Chris Harrison here.

TVGuide.com: Did Corrie ever have a chance?
Chris Harrison: I honestly don't think so considering her competition. I think any other day in time, absolutely, but she dropped that bomb on him way too late in the game. It wasn't like that's what made him run, that actually finally endeared him, but she was so far behind Ali, Vienna and Gia. I think for him it was actually one of the easier decisions of the season.

TVGuide.com: Why is Vienna still there?
Harrison: America is up in arms over what he sees in Vienna and I know its killing people because I see it on my blog and twitter and Facebook and everyone's like, "What is going on?" He sees something in this girl that really strikes him and it's very interesting to watch. Even when she snuck down there and he was kind of appalled and sent her back upstairs, you can tell he enjoyed hanging out with her ... she just kind of does something to him. I told him, "Next time a girl shows up in your bed with a bottle of wine and lingerie and you send her away, I'm going to kill you."

TVGuide.com: Which girl are you most surprised to see make it to home-town dates?
Harrison: If I were looking back to Week 1, I would say like most people, Vienna. Just knowing the animosity in the house and knowing what was going on and when she was living by herself, I didn't know she was emotionally going to be able to stick with it and handle it. Second would be Gia, just because I'm pleasantly surprised at what a real deep, loving woman she is. Jake and I literally had this conversation one night how pleasantly surprised we were because I think we both judged that book by its cover — and a rather bodacious and opulent cover that is. I think we both realized like, wow she's not only beautiful, but a wonderful person.

TVGuide.com: Will past Bachelors or Bachelorettes be in attendance?
Harrison: I assume, it's not confirmed, that Jillian and Ed will be there; they keep in touch. Hopefully Trista and Ryan and their kids will be there. I think it will kind of be red-carpet style where I'll be hosting and welcoming the guests and then call to action like I did with Trista and Ryan's wedding. On a personal note, I remember back to Trista and Ryan's wedding and, aside from the spectacle of it being on TV, it was a great wedding; we had an absolute blast. We know and love these two and have gone through this journey with them so it's a special event for us and we had a great time at their wedding. I assume it's going to be just the same for Jason and Molly. I'm really happy for them, these are two friends of mine that are going to get married and hopefully Jillian and Ed will be next.

Jake’s Bachelor Blog: From San Francisco with Love!

Via: People Magazine

This week in SFO was awesome! I have it narrowed to my five best girls and I went into this week really excited because my heart had gone out to each woman. Also, with two fewer women, the dates were much more intimate.

Let’s start with Tenley. What a doll face! We had some of the best conversation and I realized just how smart she really is, which is something I’m definitely attracted to. It was funny though … In Chinatown you saw us standing up eating in a little restaurant. Little did you know, Tenley wouldn’t try any of the ethnic food! I had to eat both of our plates. Lol! Afterwards when we were in the alley listening to the man play the erhu, I knew all Tenley could think about was wanting to dance. Our dinner on the top of Coit Tower was so romantic and my heart was pounding because I was so attracted to her. I always say, “Great minds think alike,” so what a cool coincidence that both of our fortune cookies said, “KISS ME!” It still makes me smile. By the way, Tenley and I both burned our hands making those fortune cookies! Rest of the Bachelor Jake's blog visit here.

It has been another great week for The Bachelor and I want to thank all of you for already making this season such a huge success. This has been one of the most emotional seasons we have ever had. I understand this has also been an emotional season for you as well. Some of that emotion has turned into anger and some of that anger has been aimed towards me in the comments. I’m perfectly okay with this and appreciate the honesty. I do want to mention one particular comment that really impressed my wife and I. V wrote a comment early last Tuesday afternoon and it was awesome. I highly recommend you all go back and read it, as it was as nasty as it was eloquent. I must admit I had to look up a lot of the words she used but V, you rocked the rant. READ CHRIS' FULL BACHELOR BLOG HERE!
