Tonight was the big showdown between the former Bachelor star and Vienna. I was looking forward to it. As I stated in my previous post about them, I care way too much about this show. More than is healthy. I also said that I didn't know who to believe and I knew that this interview would help me decide. It's one thing to read what they have to say, it's another thing to see their body language and how they say stuff.
Jake didn't seem to have much to say, when he did, Vienna interrupted. He tried to defend himself, but to no avail. It drove me nuts how much she interrupted, but I do believe her way more than I believe him. I feel like if he wanted to defend himself, he would have tried harder; he would have had more to say. When she accused him of saying something, all he said to defend himself was, "I never said that". I think you would have more to say if you wanted to defend yourself. Reading their body language was huge for me. Jake was sitting back acting like he was hot shit. I think he thought people were already more on his side, which I am sure they are. He is cute, but you have to look beyond that.
Vienna was in tears for much of the latter part of the show. I think is she was lying or faking tears, they would have been a lot more forced. It seemed that she was generally hurt by what Jake had done to her and that she really wanted nothing more to do with him. Jake on the other hand, was smug and arrogant the whole time. He acted like he did nothing wrong in the relationship. Granted, Vienna did the same thing. When confronted about going to the tabloids, Vienna said that she knew Jake would have gone to the media as soon as they broke up. She apologized for how she went about the whole thing, which in my mind gave her some points. I think Vienna felt like she didn't have a voice the entire relationship and this was a way for her to have one. I am not saying it's right, but she did what she felt she had to do.
I think, at first, they were both doing this for fame. Vienna said she doesn't want fame anymore. She doesn't like it and it's not how she wants to live her life. The whole relationship, Jake had been on her to get a job. She now has one in working in marketing in LA. When she said that, Jake wasn't surprised and said that if she didn't want fame, why didn't she go back to Florida? Good point, but the way he said it upset me. She said that people in Florida turned their backs on her. I understand, but she could go back to try and mend them. But at least she has a job. I think when she saw what fame was like and what it did to people, she decided it wasn't for her.
The thing that really made me side with Vienna was that her stories are consistent. Jake seems to jump around and I have heard conflicting stories from him. I think initially Jake went into this whole thing wanting to find love, but got caught up in the whole thing. I feel bad for her because I do think that he led her on for quite awhile. It sounds like they have had problems for a long time. They broke up twice before the official one; that's not a healthy relationship. He seems controlling and that if he's not happy, no one should be.
All in all, I still don't like them, but now I at least know who to believe.
