What does Bachelor Jake Pavelka see in Bachelorette, Vienna Girardi?
The women hate her. I mean, with a passion. She’s self-absorbed, boastful, and at times, completely thoughtless. So what is it about Vienna that keeps the roses coming? Week after week she moves on to the next round. And to the shock and disgust of her roommates, Vienna’s bond with Jake only seems to be getting stronger. She has already beaten out Elizabeth, the hot nanny, Corrie, the fashionista, and Kathryn, the cute-as-a-button flight attendant. On paper (and on TV) each of these girls seem to have much more appeal than their conceited counterpart. Oh, and just a side note… I predict that Vienna will take out swimsuit model, Gia, next. But enough fortune telling. What is the deal here? What are we missing? How is this chick – who is unemployed, spoiled, and not nearly as cute as the rest, winning over the bachelor? Why is it that Jake can’t see what we see?
Maybe the reason we can’t find the answer is because we are asking the wrong question. Maybe we should be asking ourselves, what don’t we see that Jake clearly does. What is it that we are so blind to that is keeping this guy so smitten? I mean, come on, have you seen Vienna’s introduction video? It’s a sub par Paris Hilton imitation. Vienna Video
But he likes her, and there are reasons why. First off, have you met all the other contestants? One word describes most – boring. The other girls just don’t have any pizazz. Vienna is full of surprises and personality. She’s a one woman show. Entertaining, funny and intelligent. While gorgeous Gia is biting her nails and asking for reassurance, Vienna is making jokes, smiling confidently, and asking Jake real questions. This is a clear case of brains triumphing over beauty.
Also, Vienna takes charge. Did you see her march down to Jake’s room last night, two glasses of wine in hand? She’s a woman with a plan. Gotta respect that. True, he did send her back to her room, but her tenacity scored big points at the rose ceremony. She edged out clean-cut Corrie and showed us that savvy can be hotter than sweet.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Vienna went home with the gold. Or more accurately, the diamond. Ignore for a second the “daddy’s girl” attitude, she’s got the edge that guys like (yes, men like edge too.) In comparison to the rest of the remaining contestants, I think she’s got the best chance to go all the way.
The lesson of the day – you don’t have to be a swimsuit model to win over the man of your dreams. In fact, you can be on a date with a swimsuit model and still win him over! You don’t need a perfect body, flawless face and pearly whites. You just need that inner attitude. Vienna is living proof of that.
If you feel like your inner attitude is lost and don’t get the attention you want from men, come to Party with a Purpose Feb 10th at Tattoo bar in DC, and seek Jess’ advice. Jess will be answering dating questions all night, so come prepared with yours.
