Ali Fedotowsky has had a change of heart about Vienna Girardi.

"When I was in the house, did I think Jake and Vienna could have a long-term relationship? No, I didn't think that at all," she tells Entertainment Tonight. "That is one of the reasons I was confused about him picking me and her. Now that I have had a chance to see them interact on the show, I do think they could have a lasting relationship."

See the Bachelor stars' shocking pasts!

Despite clashing on the show, she says she has no hard feelings for Girardi -- who, Us Weekly reports, had an affair with her best friend's boyfriend in high school and drained $5,000 from a bank account she shared with her then-husband while he was deployed in Iraq. The new Us Weekly (out now) even reports that she even secretly has a boyfriend at home!

But Fedotowsky, 25, says, "I do think she is a decent person.... I just think she is a little bit young...." She also says she could see what Bachelor Jake Pavelka sees in Girardi, 25, that he doesn't in 25-year-old Tenley Molzahn, the other finalist.

"I think Tenley is innocent, sweet, nice and much more conservative," she says. "I look at Vienna and she is much more liberal, outgoing and likes to have a lot of fun and be silly."

Hot! See Bachelor Jake and others without their shirts!

Does Fedotowsky ever regret leaving the show for work?

"When I saw Jake at the Women Tell All, I felt a lot of regret," she says. "It was sad. Sometimes when I am sitting at my desk at work, I think I made the right choice. What I can say is that if I have to choose between love and work again, I might chose love. I have to start focusing on that more."

    Hey everyone! i always watched the bachelor, and i could'nt believe this season! I could'nt believe that Jake, the cutest man on earth, picked Vienna! Ali was always my favorite girl in the house, and she was not fake. She truely loved Jake, but she made a wrong choice! If she would have came back, i thing that she could have won! Tenley was always my next favorite! She was much sweeter than Vienna, and she loved Jake, and would do anything for him. I do not care for Vienna at all! Im sorry, but i dont! She is much younger than Jake, and that relationship doesn't seem right. I read in a magazine that Vienna set up the call for Ali about her job. By that, vienna thought that she was a threat, and she thought that Ali could have won! I am very happy that Ali is going to be on the next bachelorette.

    I beleive that Vienna isn't the right woman for Jake.He never gave Tenley a fair chance when it came to being adventurous.He assumed that she's a sweet,etc woman and can't be rough so to speak.He always gave Vienna the adventurous things to do.

    One word, "DE-ANNA" ---just wait and see. Now she says, as they walk out of the studio After the Final Rose - that she just wants to have fun, date and "MAYBE" get married in a few years - or maybe not.She's such a flake - and will leave Jake's heart and life a train wreck after "Hollywood calls."

    Would someone PLEASE tell Vienna that Iâ??s is NOT A WORD! She keeps saying â??Jake and Iâ??s relationshipâ?¦â??. The correct grammar is â??Jakeâ??s and myâ?¦..â?? Her poor communication skills detract from their great chemistry!

    I really liked Tenley the best throughout the whole show and Vienna was always my second choice for Jake. I could see there was more of a connection with Vienna then there was with Tenely though. I think that Vienna makes Jake feel young again. I also think that Jake feels that he can be more himself around Vienna. They both are silly and truely do seem to bring out the best of each other. You could also see that Jake really does truely love Vienna and he is happy. Isn't that what this is all about making Jake happy? I can see that for himself Jake made the best choice! I am so very happy for Jake and Vienna! I see a nice fun and loving future for the two of them!!

    Leave Vienna Alone!! She is not sleeping with his family so it doesn’t matter what they think. Jake is a grown man who can make his own decisions. Why do they need to grow up that’s the matter with all you females who think men want a mature woman 24/7! Loosen up and stop being bitter! You can have fun and be in love! Women nowadays think they can keep a man happy by playing it safe for example like wearing little make-up looking conservative and being mature! I have news for you Men love Women like Vienna who can make you laugh, throw on some exotic make-up, look sexy in a freaking dress, and take control! I’m not saying you can’t be mature but know when to be it and when to let loose!!! So there you go Tenley fans and women like Tenley in case you don’t get it that is why Jake chose Vienna and that is why women like Tenley will end up asking themselves “What did I do wrong?” and end up seeking advice from a counselor and paying big bucks just to be told to spice of your freaking marriage!!!!!!!!

    I think everybody needs to get a grip..and as far as this being about fake boobs vs real boobs that has nothing to do with why Jake chose Vienna. Tenley has Issues and is still dealing with the divorce. She has not let go of the past…To her Jake was a rebound someone to fill the void of her ex-husband. He made the right choice Vienna is not a bad girl she was sabotaged by the other girls. When asked what exactly did she say to make them so mad their response was “She just doesn’t think before she says things”, Okay so just because she totaled three cars and her dad replaced them she’s terrible??? The other girls were only intimidated by Vienna! Brush the hater’s off Vienna live your life with Jake and be happy!!

    One more thing. I like Vienna have grown up with women hating me all my life. Not because I am a bad person but because I am not afraid to tell the truth. What is so wrong with someone that tells the truth? Have you all become so accustomed to everyone telling you lies that the truth is no longer acceptable or is now considered to be rude. A woman will always choose a man that tells herlies over one that tells her the truth. For instance - how many women out there would date or marry a man that tells them 'yes honey that dress does make you look fat'? Well I married such a man and we have been happly married for many years. No he isn't ugly. He is actually drop dead gorgeous. I can't take him anywhere without women and gay men falling all over themselves to speak to him. I love that he tells me the truth. I never have to worry about all of the things that other women worry about like, does he find me attractive, is he cheating on me, etc. I am 39 years old and don't have a gray hair nor a wrinkle in site because I don't have to worry about this type of stuff everyday. Try dating an honest person perhaps some of their honesty will rub off on you and you to will age gracefully. Good Luck!!

    Okay this is just getting ridiculous. How many of you have had the public dictate who you should date or marry? Why do you all feel that you should have a say in who Jake marries? It would seem to anyone with even half a brain that it is their life and what they choose to do with it should be up to them. The only people that should be worried about their union is their families. NOT THE PUBLIC! Try worrying about your own life choices and leave them to theirs. If you all know so much how are your relationships working out for you? If your answer is "not well" perhaps you should ask they other opinionated people on this website for some relationship advise. They seem to have it all figured out.

    Vienna is a cross-eyed beast.

    I was disappointed to see Ali as the next bachelorette. She is so very cute and I think because of that people seem drawn to her, yet if you look at her actions during the show she was very jealous and actually played games. She wanted Jake to say she was they one so she wouldnt leave rather than wait it out like the rest, then she expected him to just fly to her ? Hello ? She was so set on how terrible Vienna was for Jake that she made herself look bad to him by doing so, he saw that. I believe she felt the competition in his heart that he was developing feelings for Vienna, so she played that one wrong as well he saw her behavior as a turn off. She just seems fake to me covered by all her outward cuteness. Oh, and by the way... if she had to leave work for Jake then um... How is she going to work and be the next bachelorette ? case in point again, I think I will skip the next Bachelorette, but wish everyone luck.

    Vienna we really hope that you are no longer with your ex-boyfriend. I hope your honest with Jake. We really think that you be real and honest so we like to make sure your not keeping any dark secret.

    Vienna is a beautiful girl,I'm afraid to say i hate somebody,because is that becomes a woman for Jake.when you hate somebody you hate God.Jesus comes in different way,remember the bible story,the little man decorating his house for Jesus to come see him,and Jesus visit him 5 times different way,comes like he is a person was hungry,he wont let him in or feed him,poor need money for see a doctor same things,what happend Jesus came and he ran out and say come on in,I was waiting for a long time to see you,what Jesus said,I was been 5 times to ask you I'm cold,hungry,sick,and you wont help me,he no didn't came,Jesus say whoever you did it to them that was me.He cry but it was too late.

    And, I add: Jake and Vienna really compliment each otherâ??s personality. Vienna brings out the fun part of Jake (He is a bit serious.) Jake will help Vienna mature into a great wife and mother since she is head-over-heals in love with Jake. She appears to be greatly appreciative of himâ?¦and how he brings her into a mature, loving relationship she has never had.

    I wish the best to Jake and Vienna for a happy and healthy relationship. They already appear to be having some fun! Good for them!

    Oh, and it's already been announced that Ali is next Bachelorette.

  • February 22, 2010 - 10:50pm Mr. Matrix

    Fact is, he chooses "NONE OF THE ABOVE". Clues were in his speach about his decision on the WTA episode and the "previews" of next weeks show. Both girls are crying sad tears with sad looks on their faces.

    Vienna is immature and lacks depth. Not attractive either. She is a daddys princess and that isn't realistic. If Jake picks her i don't think it will last.

  • February 22, 2010 - 2:56pm KrisMN

    I didn't like Vienna at first but the way she interacts with Jake, I can see why he picks her. She was always supporting him. Hard to tell if it is an act or not, but from his point of view, she's a great girl. I laugh at all the comments about her nose. It's big, but I don't think that makes her ugly .... and for Ali, she was my favorite from the start, but her badmouthing Vienna and throwing the little fits seemed a bit immature. Gia lacks depth, so I was glad to see her go. Tenly would make a great future Bachelorette. Jake is fantastic, my favorite bachelor so far. I think it would be a tough decision to make when it has to be made under time constraints. There's no taking your time to make the right choice, you have to choose on the programming schedule. Can't be easy.
