Jake Pavelka and fiancee Vienna Girardi didn't cope so well after the Bachelor star, 32, was booted off Dancing With the Stars Tuesday.
Before the elimination show even started, Pavelka -- who had the lowest score Monday after stumbling during his samba -- and Girardi, 23, huddled together, held hands and prayed.

But that didn't save him.
When his name was called, he and Girardi looked devastated. Pavelka mouthed to her, "It's OK."
After Pavelka cried his way through his farewell speech ("Thank you for keeping me here for six episodes," he mustered), he eventually made his way over to his fiancee, whom he called "beautiful" in his closing show remarks.

The two looked absolutely miserable, depressed and inconsolable as they hugged and chatted when the cameras went off. Deena Katz, the head producer/casting director, even walked over to comfort Pavelka.
"Well guys, I did everything I could," he Twittered. "Layed [sic] it all out there on the dance floor. I'm pretty bumbed [sic]... :("

Interestingly, Pavelka and his pro partner Chelsie Hightower parted ways immediately after cameras stopped rolling, hardly appearing as the best friends Pavelka has claimed they are. (But Hightower did get a "long" hug and "sweet kiss on the cheek" from beau Mark Ballas.)
A DWTS insider previously told UsMagazine.com that he has made her "cry." The source said, "She tries to help Jake, pointing out where he went wrong in rehearsal. But he feels Chelsie's picking on him."
Tell Us: Did Jake deserve to go?
Tell Us What You Think
189Where's the admiration, support and compassion?! Jake had been vigorously practicing and working for weeks. He was probably among other things, exhausted both physically and emotionally. In all of the times he has spoken on TV and the press that I've read, on both The Bachelor, and DWTS, I have never heard him say one really petty or malicious thing. He's a reflective, wise man who controls his tongue and thought. He did his very best whichis all any of us can do! I think he's a true champion in many ways, including moral and spiritual. I also think it's quite despicable indeed that the clip of the "slip" at the top of those steps was played over and over. How cruel, unfair, and mean. Shame on whatever was back of this. And Vienna, she has demonstrated strength, loyalty, and sincerity every step of the way. She's a beautiful woman, and obviously bright and perceptive. She's shown integrity, and great dignity. Her character is sterling, and that's a large part of what Jake adores about her. I think they make an exemplary couple. We should all be as tender and compassionate with each other as they have been. Hatred and animosity can hurt those harboring it. Health and well being come from celebrating each other's successes and triumphs, while holding each other's hands in times of surprise and grief. Let's salute this salutary couple. The grace, joy, and gratitude they've expressed has been uplifting and inspiring! slsc
There were 2 other stars who are worse dancers than Jake and are still on the show. Also, on DWTS its not how good or bad you are at dancing, its how many outside votes you get. Look how long Kate lasted and she was awful!! She hardly moved on the dance floor. The astronaut was almost better than she was and he was 80 yrs. old. They both were worse dancers than Shannon D. who got booted off the first night. In other words, nobody really knows the number of votes everyone gets. This show has the potential to be the most fixed show on T.V. And, it probably is, who knows?
Who cares what woman he is with - they are just sorry their time in the spotlight is ending! Jake was an awful dancer and should just get back in the air flying as that is the only thing he seems good at.
Vienna is ugly, worst decision he made
FINALLY!!!!!!GOOD FREAKING RIDDANCE TO THESE TWO LOSERS!!! NOW MAYBE WE CAN ACTUALLY ENJOY WATCHING KNOW THAT THE MOMMY FROM H-E-L-L AND THAT FLORIDA SWAMP TRASH LOVING LOSER ARE GONE! THANK YOU AMERICA...MAYBE JAKE AND VIENNA WILL FINALLY GO AWAY...WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY????? YOU PEOPLE ARE SO RUDE, EVIL, AND HAVE SO MUCH HATE FOR JAKE AND VIENNA???? THEY ARE HUMAN YOU KNOW. THEY ALSO HAVE FEELINGS! NOW MOST OF YOU ARE DISSAPOINTED BECAUSE JAKE PICKED VIENNA. THAT'S WHY YOU ARE SO HATEFUL TOWARD THEM! NOW IT'S JAKE CHOICE WHO HE WANTS, NOT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE!!!! IT'S HIS LIFE. I THINK THEY LOOK GREAT TOGETHER, THEY HAVE CHEMISTRY. AND ALSO ITS UP TO THEM IF THEY TRULY WANT TO GET MARRIED!WHY DO YOU PEOPLE GET SO INVOLVED? IS IT BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A LIFE, OF YOUR OWN? SO STOP JUDGING THEM!
Personally I think viewers were hoping Jake would dump Vienna and take up with one of the ladies on the show. Since it was clear he wasn't going to do it they went to Plan B. If he was free of DWTS perhaps he would pursue Ali, since she had yet to tape her Final Rose Ceremony. Now that would be a dramatic Final Rose Ceremony. Jake flies to wherever they are taping and of course Vienna follows. Jake begs Ali for forgiveness and she takes him back. Ali's final 2 guys show up and Vienna is there to deliver the news and she asks them if either of them would consider her for a relationship.
Maybe they can strike it rich and gain some fame by entering Vienna in the Kentucky Derby. Neiiggghhh!
Maybe the viewers got tired of seeing Vienna :< :( Bye bye, we're not going to miss them :)
Unbelievable...couldn't believe his tears nor imagine why the tears. Good riddance. He was an awful dancer.
It's all about him anyway.Nice little act at the end.I wouldn't be surprised if he dumps his fiance if she can't be "used" anymore
I am glad he left because it was all about him.He wants it all. I wouldn't be surprised if he dumped his fiance.It's all about him.Good riddance.
He should have been booted off DWTS sooner than it happened. He is a pompous ass and comes on as so conceited! I think he really believed he could win; this is a laugh in itself. Always tripping over his own feet and you could tell poor Chelsie disliked him but had no choice in the matter. She is so sweet and I felt sorry for her every week she had to put up with his arrogant ways self centered ways. Everyone hated his choice of bride on The Bachelor but just maybe the two misfits belong together. As the saying goes, ``Birds of a feather, flock together``. SO TRUE IN THIS CASE!
If Vienna cares so much about Jake, why did she always ignore his mother? She definitely needs to be taught some manners, but maybe she knows his mother doesn't approve of someone like her.
Yes.....he deserved to go!!
Yes, he deserved to go--he was a klutz.
Well pardon me all the hell. Why don't i break out my violin. Are we suppose to feel compassion for this Bozo? Numb nuts has to realize you can't win them all. Participate on competition show,there's always going to be risk of losing.
you don't pray for fame or fortune you pray for other people.
Finally, the inevitable has happened to our intrepid Jake, that is, his ouster in round 5 which I say WAS his time. But do not feel sorry for him or his fiance, Vienna. As most psuedo stars who are still looking for another 15 minutes of fame, now, they as a couple can go hark their talents to the lamented Amazing Race show where other reality stars land to continue their quest for fame. LOL! Although I would suggest that maybe there could be a Celebrity Big Brother at one point, but I would not think that Vienna would be too comfortable to have Jake go off and be a contestant on that show knowing how much hanky panky goes on there unless she truly believes in their love like both of them say. Time will tell!
what a pathetic loser! Hes inconsoleable after getting the boot..Seriously? Hes got some serious problems then! He is so full of drama and so fake. Honestly, he should get rid of Vienna and pair up with Kate Gosselin. They are two of a kind and have the same aspirations of being a star. Oh ya...they both like to cry too.
