Bachelor Host: Vienna Is "a Gentle, Loving Woman"

Wednesday – February 03, 2010 – 3:05pm

The Bachelor ladies loathe Vienna Girardi -- and so does her ex-husband, who tells the new Us Weekly (out now) that she withdrew his last $5,000 from his bank account to pay for breast implants while he was deployed in Iraq with the Marines.

But Bachelor host Chris Harrison is defending the unemployed, 23-year-old former Florida Hooters waitress.

"She is not a villain," he tells UsMagazine.com. "She is really not. She is a sweet girl. Jake [Pavelka, the Bachelor] loves her, I love her. She just rubs the women the wrong way."

He says her occasional "little jabs" by themselves are not "a big deal, but add them up, and it's a big deal, especially in this pressure cooker of the Bachelor. There are those little moments where she says, 'I want the last conversation.' Jake even realized, 'Back up a little bit. Don't go out of your way to throw it in the girl's faces.' But she is not there to make friends. She loves Jake and that's it."

Girardi and Pavelka, 32, are actually "very similar," Harrison tells Us."I think people read Vienna as this antagonist. She is not the antagonist, and you have to see it when she is with Jake."

When she is with Jake, Harrison says, "she is a very soft, gentle, loving woman."

    I cannot believe some of the nonsense that the posters on this board are judging Vienna on. Whoa--she's been married! Ho my gosh! She'll never be a "lady"...that's almost as bad as having been married! Get a life! The girl is 23 and will probably accomplish more by the time she's 30 than most of you will do in a lifetime. Who are you to judge her anyway? What's the matter--would you have preferred Jake to be with a perfect little "yes" girl. Thankfully there's more to him than that.

    I'm so happy that Jake chose Vienna. She was the only "authentic" personality out of the 25. I adore her. She's vivacious and sweet and clearly a loving person. I'm always so taken by how gullible the masses are. It's the "I don't need to think for myself" mentality...I'll just follow what everyone else thinks--and "disdain" is apparently so contagious. All those women on and off the show who targeted Vienna based on "Well there must be something to why all the women don't like her"...THAT'S SICK!! What is wrong with you? That's exactly the weakness of character and mind that create holocausts. Jake--you are one awesome guy if there is any reality to this reality show. You're a smart man and she is a great girl.

    Ali tried to manipulate all of the other women as well as Jake- she tried to have Vienna taken out of the running and it backfired in a big way... Bachelor viewers- the defining moment in this season's Bachelor was "the bungee kiss" on Jake and Vienna's first one on one date- that was the moment that decided this season's outcome. I may not like how Vienna dresses but she comes off as positive and confident- she was able to handle all of those beatches when the pressure was high- she's a riot! she should be the "winner"

    I agree with izzie! Jake is so oblivious to Vienna, just like Jillian was about Wes. Vienna will never be a lady. I just can't believe Jake is that stupid, I thought he was a stand up kinda guy you know with morals and integrity.

    Vienna is a sleeze. She's one of those nasty girls that sleeps with your man. Jake open your eyes.

    Come on ..she is 23. Already been through one marriage. Whines constantly and is very very trashy. The way she dresses, the way she looks, the way her make-up and hair are done. A 32 yr old man is in her bedroom making out when he should be interacting with the family. Even my 12yr old daughter understands that is trashy. Ya she may be fun now, but she will never be able to be a lady. She may be sweet, but not marriage material. But if what you say is right that she and Jake are alike, then it is Jake that I have misjudged. I thought he had some class and wanted a partner. It seems this is not so......the fact that he does not get it tells us who he is. I find it funny that he was the one that went out of his way to tell Jillian Wes was not right for her, but he is not listening to the women about Vienna not being right for him...... boy is he clueless. And I am dissappointed. He still has a chance to pick a women of substance in one of the other 2, but it sounds like he doesn't. Lucky for Ali she got out when she did.

    I am proud of Vienna for standing up to a group of tiger bullies. Ali is a good example of bully head ever that it set a very bad example to many young women out there. Even if Jake doesn't Vienna, i am still very proud of her for having the gut to stick around and dealt with things really well. You have a very close family and a father that love you and nothing is wrong with being a daddy's girl. Many people doesn't have a good loving and caring relationship like you do. That is part of the reason why they don't understand you, because they never felt love. Jake probably see something special in you since the beginning. That is why he defended you from everyone and didn't let you go. Vienna, you keep up the good spirit. Don't let all the negative get to you. People doesn't know you, they say what ever they want. I see that you are genuine, patience, and loving toward Jake. If he pick you it's because he follow his heart not what other people want or think.

    The only thing I have to say is that is Vienna wins then I will never watch this show again. I know there is always creative editing and the like, but the material has to come from somewhere, and there is just so much of it, where she is an obnoxious witch that I can't stand her. Any of the others seem more kind and genuine. I just hope that all of this is hype to confuse us, and make the ending more exciting, as if the last seasons was exciting enough. And maybe if he did pick her he'll pull a Jason. We'll see.

    Vienna is just a spoiled brat that expects life to be handed to her on a silver platter; which is obvious by her comments she makes on the show. "I'm daddys princess" come on a man wants a girl who wont go running to daddy all the time. She's a disaster waiting to happen if Jake picks her; hopefully the home visits will open his eyes to the reality.She doesn't know what she wants out of life this is just another exciting adventure for her one more thing she wants to add to her bag of goodies.

    @kat Obviously the women who were picked to be on The Bachelor do watch the show. How many of them look like ugly, old women?
  • February 05, 2010 - 6:04pm Jenii84 Says:

    @ohiomom I'm also sick and tired of it all too. I personally like Vienna myself. This is just a magazine and not everything you read in magazines are going to be true. No one has any real proof of Vienna doing anything wrong in her past or on the show, and no one who posts sleazy, hate-filled negative, comments about Vienna even knows her so how can anyone say anything negative about her? So far I like Vienna...It will have to take a lot for me to change my mind about her. I hope she doesn't dissapoint jake. Some of you who comment are the definition of "UGLY". Your comments make me sick, and when some of you comment the way you do, it's you who sounds "ugly".

    I am so sick and tired of everyone trashing Vienna. Who cares what her ex-husband and ex-mother-in-law have to say? I like her. I hope she wins Jake's heart - he already has said he finds her "exciting." I think she is the most genuine, honest one in the group. The rest seem immature and cruel. I think they're all just jealous of her. She is 100 percent focused on Jake. The others seems to be there for other silly reasons, or preoccupied dissecting each other, carrying on, etc. And what's wrong with being a Daddy's girl, by the way? My mother is my best friend in the world. I think when someone is very close with their parents, that says something very positive about their character. I've got my fingers crossed for Vienna. Hold your head up and don't lisen to the naysayers. You are strong, beautiful and loving. All that matters is what's in your heart and Jake's. The rest is just bad drama for TV ratings.

    I like Vienna. She's fun. Not sure if she is ready to really wed. Jake seems serious about it. I think he should choose Gia.
