Back in January, spoilers were revealed that named Vienna Girardi as the bachelorette who stole Jake Pavelka’s heart on The Bachelor: On The Wings of Love. Most fans refused to believe it was true, because Vienna had been portrayed by the other women on the show, and the tabloids, as a conniving virus that would infect the clean-cut pilot and take him to the cleaners, for another pair of fake boobs. In fact her ex-husband Sgt. Josh Riley said she is a pathological liar who cheated on him while he was in Iraq, and took $5,000 out of their savings account to enhance her ta-tas.

But couldn’t they all be wrong? Vienna may just be misunderstood, and only Jake possesses the real insight into her true beauty and moral character.

Don’t forget that Ali Fedotowsky, on “The Women Tell All” episode, apologized for the venom that she spewed all over Vienna.

But ultimately there were no surprises for me on the finale tonight, not only because I read the spoilers, but because I watched as the two were clinging together upside down, kissing in relief and disbelief, after bungee jumping together on their first date. I’m told that there is an incredible bonding experience when a couple suffers fear, survival and ultimate trust together, so in light of that, Jake’s choice was a no-brainer.

So the true surprise will come if the two marry and live happily ever after, but my gut says “let the bets begin.” How many months will go by until the couple realize that they are doomed to fail? How many days did it take Jake to realize his mistake? How long will it be until Vienna cheats on Jake, while he is busy flying the friendly skies? Make a bet and ante up.

Tune in for The Bachelorette in May, when we may have an update, and if you haven’t seen enough of Jake, you can catch him on the next season of Dancing With the Stars.
