Cover Story: Bachelor EXCLUSIVE: Taunting Ali Was Part of Vienna's Winning Strategy
Bachelor winner Vienna Girardi, 23, complained on the March 1 finale that her fellow contestants - particularly Ali Fedotowsky, 25 - hated her, but perhaps the animosity was deserved.
"You don't see the things Vienna said to me. They were very hurtful," Fedotowsky, ABC's new Bachelorette, said on After The Final Rose March 1. Indeed, in the new issue of Us Weekly, one of the season's contestants, says that the fan fave took Girardi's insults personally.

"Vienna would always thank us for coming to her 'bachelorette' or 'engagement party,' then tell us we were all going home," the contestant tells Us. "Ali would just call her out on it."

The fiercely competitive Girardi ("she always had to one-up people," another show castoff recounts) quickly recognized Fedotowsky as her main obstacle to winning the heart of pilot Jake Pavelka, 32.
Will Vienna and Jake actually make it to the altar like this Bachelor couple?
"Vienna would say to Ali that she was going to shake her boobs in Jake's face," explains another show insider.
"I think Jake hasn't ever been with a girl like Vienna and is experiencing a 'wild side,'" a source observes. "Once she figured that out, maybe she was a little more seductive."
No, Jake, no! Hear the accusations of a former pal
To read more about Vienna's calculated strategy to win -- including how she would "grab Jake's butt," how Tenley's holding up since Pavelka dumped her, and the surprising details about the Bachelor's shocking contract for its contestants, pick up the new issue of Us Weekly -- on newsstands today!
Tell Us What You Think
184The red flag for this relationship was when Vienna's stepmother and sister told Jake that she always has problems with other women. They said it's because the other women are jealous. I call it B.S. She is catty and manipulative and the other women saw through it. She was there to "win" the contest. Jake was a prize to her, not someone she hoped to possibly fall in love with gradually. I hope his family will help him see the what she is really all about. I don't think they changed their mind about her during their visit with her. They just wanted to spare Jake's feelings and hoped he would choose Tenley. I'm sure any misgivings they had about Vienna that day will only be further amplified when they watch the show each week. Jake will see the light before they get married. I don't see how Vienna can help but reveal the lack of character on her part when they are together.
Vienna is nothing but a bad person with no morals. Of course, she is not a Christian and winning is everything, no matter who gets hurt. She deserves all of the attacks on her, She is nothing but a high price call girl.....that bought jake with her body. He is nothing but a person that used his third leg and wagged it....so he got the girl that knew what he was doing.
I did not watch the show but I did see the magazine cover and say, "who is that ugly girl with that handsome guy"? When I saw her body I realized why he picked her. She looks cheap, dresses cheap and has no class. He must be a jerk if all he focuses on is the body and hot sex. and he is the older one?????
she looks like a crossed eyed he she thing, as kevin mcallister would say, WOOF
Oh! And by the way The issue with the above article is sold out ALREADY as I knew it would be. I guess I have to go to a doctor's office or somewhere to find it now.
Thank you Becky for your comment on March 3@7:32PM. You are absolutely right. When you have a real relationship based on actual LOVE, you don't need a strategy. I would go as far as to say not only actual LOVE but VERY MUCH IN LIKE.We all saw it was a GAME for Vienna. A lot of people are just stating how they feel about this girl. BUT HEAR THIS!!! It is based on what they saw her do and what they heard her say on TV. Those ACTIONS only magnified her physical looks. I don't think she is sexy, but then I'm a female. I assume looking sexy has different meaning for men also, based on the zillion comment I have read lately. So LET THE COMMENTERS COMMENT.
I think Jake and Vienna are a match. She is sneaky and deceptive. There seems to be something about him that makes it difficult for him to communicate about ANYTHING. He may be able to fly a plane, but I would not want to be on the plane that he is flying! He seems a little slow. Therefore, I think in about six months, he will realize that he made a mistake. (Something his family knew IMMEDIATELY). I think he will deserve anything Vienna dishes out to him. She loves the trips, attention and the fact that she now knows someone that makes a decent living. I agree with Twiggy in the fact that Tenley was the lucky one. She will find someone a lot more dignified that Jake.
What Tenley was missing that Jake couldn't put into words was the "hooters" experience!!! Tenley you are lucky you weren't choosen, YOU are the real winner.........Your past is too squeaky clean for Jake!
Why am I not at all surprised that "Taunting Ali was part of Vienna's Winning Stratgy" Jake picked a girl..not a woman..too bad for him. Last season with Jillian..Ed too was the only one who told Jill I love You. That is such a repeat this season now with Vienna telling/writing "I Love You" on Jake's mud covered abs... He's super cute but not "all that bright"...Know what I mean? Last night seeing Vienna give Jake that box with the hand written letter and the ring around it..just made me feel like Vienna was never on the show to find a husband..she's on the show to find the next bank account she can clear out.. Looking back at the beginning of the show I believe that all of Vienna's moves were totally calculated since the start..She knew exactly what to say and when to say it and poor Jake fell for it. She totally had Jake where she wanted him. The sister in laws and mother were all right. There are many red flags....but the poor boy just doesn't see it. I get that Everyone wants to find the person they are meant to spend "forever" with..but nobody needs to be lied to,betrayed and tricked into believing they met their ultimate girl/guy. Relationships are build on love and respect...and commitment not "ha ha I tricked this next dude and will clear out his bank account as soon as he thinks he can trust me"
Ya know, I am all for hot sex, BUT this girl is dishonest, just about everyone hates her and most of all she is hideous homely...frankly, a mutt. I don;t care how big her double D's are. Wake up Jake...you screwed up the last 3 months. Let's see if you can figure it out and not screw up the next 30 years. Any guy who can;t see that Tenley is as close to perfect as anyone I have ever seen, deserves a girl like Vienna.
HILARIOUS!!! Look at how nuch loooooooonger her face is than his. Bye the way, he is an cheesy TOOL!!!
Does anyone watch the Bachelor anymore?? That's the real question!! I know nothing about Vienna, but she has a HORSE FACE!! Out of all these women this is the best he could do?? Nice.
Does abc think we're all idiots? I use to love that show until this past season. Jake is a former actor and so is everyone else on that show. Like a guy that looks like jake would pick a trani like vienna! And please abc, spare us all and dont make ali the next bachelorette she's a horrible person for acting the way she did on tv. dont make us watch that wench
Jake only picked Vienna because she let him $crew her like a man... up the poop shoot. Plus with a big mouth like hers, she must be able to make a good vacuum seal for bjs. Heck, she probably pulled out all the stops and let him talk dirty to her and then gave him a golden shower. ALL the women couldn't be wrong -- they hated her because she is a user and heartless trailer trash. Jake isn't as much of a prize either. He should've quit while he was ahead. It was OK for him to tell tales out of school and blab to Jillian, but when MANY of the other women told him about Vienna he said they were just 'jealous'.
"he/ABC would like to" ="he/ABC would like us to"
They're perfect for each other... Jake is not really a FT commercial airline pilot as he/ABC would like to believe; he owns a limo business in Dallas & that's his main gig. Pilot just sounded better. They both wanted an identity makeover & 15 min of fame, and they (kind of) got their wish.
I feel so bad for his mom I bet she is so disappointed ( AND IF SHE ISNT NOW JUST WAIT)
oh please-Christine was handing out jellybeans as gbye gifts in the first episode and ella And Elizabeth were also very confident in declaring they will win him. Its all just good fun of the show- quit making mts out of molehills. I think Vienna is very pretty and charming!
She's rude. Just watch the footage from the finale, she couldn't interact with his parents at all. No one liked her...she doesn't learn at all.
Im Happy for any1 who finds love.
