Bachelor's Tenley Still Stumped by Jake's No "Connection" Remark
Credit: ABC/CRAIG SJODIN
Bachelor runner-up Tenley Molzahn is still stumped why Jake Pavelka told her they had no connection before dumping her for Vienna Girardi on Monday's finale.
"I don't know what he was talking about," Molzahn, 25, says on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Wednesday. "He even told me we had such an incredible connection. When he kissed me, he felt like he was riding on a treadmill. There were so many moments that you didn't even see that were so magical and alive and exciting and fun. I don't know - we kissed a lot. I love kissing."
Look back at Jake's cheesiest moments with Vienna and Tenley.
She said she feels her flirty side never came out in front of Pavelka, 32.
"I'm a very playful person and I don't know that Jake got to see me in all those moments because it was so important to me that I could challenge him and take him to that emotional level and build that emotional foundation first," she says. "But we saw that Jake likes that physical level taken care of first ... so it's ok."

In the end, she said she and Girardi, 23, are "very different" and had "completely different relationships" with Pavelka, who "just had to pick which one was the one that he wanted to live with for the rest of his life ... the one he wanted to marry."

Molzahn has a message for any Dancing With the Stars contestants who might get injured: She's available as a replacement.
"The most brilliant idea would be to be [Jake's] competition," she says. "If anything happens, I'll step in there right away."
Tell Us What You Think
80TENLEY IS NOT AS SWEET AS PEOPLE THINK SHE IS, OTHERWISE, SHE WOULD NOT HAVE MADE THAT COMMENT ABOUT DANCING WITH THE STARS. SHE CAN'T FACE THE FACT THAT JAKE PICKED VIENNA OVER HER. HE DIDN'T LOVE YOU TENLEY. GET OVER IT! AND SEX ONCE A WEEK??? GIVE ME A BREAK! YOU CAN TALK ABOUT VIENNA BARING HER SKIN BUT SO DID (AND DOES) SHE..SHE JUST WASN'T FOR JAKE AND I THINK VIENNA IS PERFECT FOR HIM. WHETHER THEY MAKE IT OR NOT, THEY'RE HAPPY AS CAN BE RIGHT NOW SO LEAVE THEM ALONE. AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE OVERLY BEAUTIFUL ON THE OUTSIDE TO BE BEAUTIFUL ON THE INSIDE. SHE MAKES HIM HAPPY AND THAT'S ALL THAT COUNTS.
It is amazing to me to see how many people out there think they know Tenley and Vienna. They also think they know what Jake should and should feel. They also think Jake is "wrong" if he didn't think and feel the way they thought he should. Now why they think they are in a position to know how Jake should think and feel and that Jake is "wrong' for not thinlking and feeling the way they think he should think and feel is beyond me. These are the imbeciles that send gifts to soap opera stars when the character portrayed is portraying having a baby. I especially liked the genius that said as soon as Jake got tired of getting his rocks off he'd think of some excuse to break up with Vienna. Well 1. What exactly is that time frame and 2. Why do you think Jake needs to make up an excuse. If he decides that once he's had time to get to know Vienna that he doesn't want to be with her any longer he'll just break up or maybe she'll break up with him or they may actually grow to love each other and stay together. I noticed that none of you wished a long and happy enduring love for them and yet it wouldn't be hard to guess that you proclaim to be Christians. Hey out of all of Jake's faults and wrong feelings it could be worse, he could be a know-it-all hypocrite.
not a good sport- if she stood a chance of being on dancing with the stars as a stand in she threw it away. Jake obviously made the right choice by not choosing her.
Dear Jake, You will be voted off by the fourth week. The only reason you will last that long, is because all of the ABC execs will keep you there, so as to promote the stupid Bachelor show! Vienna, meanwhile, will be looking at Maks like he is a huge Maine lobster, and she hasn't eaten in weeks! If he takes the bait, she will surely bite! Jake, you are merely plankton next to Maks. Better have one arm on your dancing partner, and a VERRY short leash on Vienna!!!
TO SHER, TRENTON AND SARA: I JUST KNOW YOU ARE VIENNA IN DISGUISE!! SEX ISN'T EVERYTHING, AND YOU ARE ALL SHALLOW! GO TO YOUR ROOMS, IT'S PAST YOUR BEDTIME, SHALLOWEENS!
Tenley! Here is the answer to your question: When Jake said you both didn't have the same connection, what he meant was this: YOU HAVE BRAINS AND HE AND VIENNA DON'T!!! A DWTS dance off between you and Jake would be brilliant! But watch out for the daggers--because Vienna will have those out for every female alive! Tenley, be proud of the Woman you are--you make us PROUD! Vienna is merely a plaything, and I guarantee you 100 PERCENT that those two will never marry! So, you will have the laust laugh--along with the happiest life, ever! You are so special! I wish my son met you earlier! But you will find your Prince charming--one who loves you for all of the wonderful qualities you have! God Bless you, Sweetheart!
Good riddance! You deserve better than him. More power to both of them. He's just another, what his name (really cannot remember, i will not waste my energy trying to remember), the last season's bachelor.
I don't think Tenley has anything to worry about - she dodged a bullet by not being picked by a gay dude. Vienna is a MAN baby!
Jake is a spoiled little brat! All of the girl's told him that she was bad and bad little boys....when told not to do something, only want it more! I thought he was sooo handsome and genuine, and when he picked that witch, it changed my whole attitude towards him. Personality make's you beautiful and he showed his true colors by choosing Vienna. He is soo fake and foolhearted!!
It's because, you didn't throw yourself at him Tenely!! You have to know that Vienna "rocked his world" every chance she got! You are too sweet and innocent for him! She will screw him over and then he will see that he made a mistake! You were everything he "SAID" he wanted! But, the little head made his decision for him!
Responding to "Earth to Tenly" You say only stars are on Dwts?? then explain to me how Melissa Rycroft , Kate Gosselin and Jake made it? They are not by all rights "Stars"!!
Tenley! oh i am so sorry you didnt understand what jake mean. he ment that he was not inlove with you. he was in love with vienna and not you. he didnt want a sweet girl he wannted someone who was out there and you were not. sorry sweetie.
Ahhh, Tenley is so clueless, lol. Jake isn't good enough for Tenley. That is the real reason he didn't pick her, he is her inferior.
Tenley, be glad you didn't get picked. He deserves what he gets(when she takes all his money and his heart) (oops forgot he dosen't have one) Jake only thought with one thing and it wasn't his heart
Tenley, you are too sweet for Jake. Be very happy you are free to pick someone that will make you happy. Jake is in it for him self. I don't give them a year.
Tenley, clap, jump up and down, and thank God that you did not end up with Jake, he got what he deserved.......you could look at the stars and say.....Good riddance to bad rubbish.....
Let it go girl!! Dang, just go away and let go!!
Jake need a "Women", not a"Doll"like Tynely, she It's like a litle girl, "NO SEX APPIL"
Tenley you may come off as a sweet girl but I think God makes the decisions that are needed. I don't believe you went onto the show for the right reasons, the lowest you could have got was the comment about your "ex in laws". I think there's reasons you didn't get the DWTS or bachelorette, simply you dont deserve them. You are not a genuine person and I'm glad there's others that see that. Second of all how sad you say you dont want to be seconds but you go on a show kissing a guy that has kissed ten other woman. What is wrong with you?
Jake is a fake and snake; then there is Vienna, a girl YOU wouldn't take home to mom. As the saying goes, you can't live on "lust"...Jake and Vienna deserve each other, they are both fake ,shallow,arrogant,and i wouldn't trust either of them.
