Former Bachelor contestant Tenley Molzahn couldn't hold back the tears when Jake Pavelka dumped her on Monday's finale.
But looking back, she says she is probably better off.
In an interview airing Thursday on The Bonnie Hunt Show, Molzahn, 25, says she is "feeling good and ready to see what's next."
On the finale, Pavelka, 32, claimed he was in love with both Molzahn and Vienna Girardi. He said he proposed to Girardi, 23, because he felt more of a spark with her.
"I think it is actually an OK thing that I am here today in this position," Molzahn says of being single. "If he was in love with both of us, really in love with us, if he was saying 'I do love you' to me at the same day he told Vienna, 'I love you, will you marry me" … I think I am in a good position because I don't want to be someone's second."
On Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show, host Chris Harrison said he doesn't understand why so many viewers are opposed to Pavelka choosing Girardi.
"Who are we to say that they don't deserve each other and aren't happy?" he said.
"If this was put up to popular vote, Vienna would not be the girl," Harrison went on. "Jake did what was best for him … I am proud and appreciative of that. In the end, he really fought like hell for Vienna and maybe that goes to show how in love he is with her."
