Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi took their he-said-she-said circus to the air on Monday night in a previously recorded interview about their relationship. Among the heated subjects they tackled were Vienna selling her story to a tabloid, the emotional abuse she says he inflicted, and the constant undermining Jake says he endured.
Trading bitter insults throughout their talk with Chris Harrison, the exes battled it out in a verbal boxing match that proved no winner — and pulled no punches. Here’s a recap of how it all went down:
Round 1: How it all fell apart Jake: “The relationship was going downhill but I wasn’t ready to quit fighting.”
Vienna: “The first month together was great. He was crazy about me. From there it went straight downhill. It felt like a relationship when cameras were rolling or we were out on a red carpet, but when we were at home [it was] lonely. I just wanted him to be around me and talk to me and kiss me like a normal relationship.”
Round 2: The tabloid interview Vienna: “Either way, our relationship had been public. The world was going to want to know what happened . . . I hadn’t had a voice this entire time.”
Jake: “I’m so mad at you. I’m disgusted with you.”
Vienna: “You are a fame whore is what you are.”
Round 3: Their life after The Bachelor Vienna: “My impression was that you were a pilot and we were going to go back to Florida and Dallas and live a normal life. Instead, we’re in L.A. and you’re pursuing a career in acting.”
Jake: “At least I was pursuing a career in something.”
Round 4: Jake’s turn on Dancing with the Stars Vienna: “He never acknowledged me. We were never together, ever, throughout the whole thing. I was excited to spend time with him [on the show].”
Jake: “She was excited because I put her on TV.”
Round 5: Who broke up with whom? Vienna: “I called you and broke up with you over the phone.”
Jake: “She’s like a tabloid. You get 40 percent of the truth.”
Round 6: Who’s at fault? Vienna: “He was always mean to me and treated me like I was a child.”
Jake: “She breaks me down, she undermines me, she’s mean . . . this is it, right here.”
Round 7: The knockout punch Vienna: “I am sorry that I went about it the way I did. But I know you, and I knew you would have [sold your story to a tabloid] if I didn’t.”
Jake: “You don’t know me and I wouldn’t have done it . . .”
Vienna: [Interjects]
Jake: [Shouts] “Please stop interrupting me!”
Vienna: [Storms out, crying] “He is the biggest liar I’ve ever met in my life!”
Jake: “Unfortunately, that’s what one of our arguments looks like.”
Jake Pavelka isn’t afraid to show his emotions! The former Bachelor star gave a heartfelt goodbye to Dancing with the Stars Tuesday after fans voted him off following a flawed performance with partner Chelsie Hightower Monday.
Through tears, he admitted he never “imagined how hard it would be to say goodbye,” as his heartbroken fiancée Vienna Girardi watched from the audience.
“Right now we’re a little bummed out, but it’s okay,” a more collected Pavelka said backstage following the show.
“It’s always a little bummer when you go off the show,” Hightower agreed. “But at same time, I feel at peace because there was nothing more that we could’ve done in this competition to do well.” Pavelka said what he’ll miss most “is the camaraderie with the other dancers,” and particularly his “best friend” Chelsea.
While toting the disco-ball trophy may not be in the stars for Pavelka, he guarantees dancing will be part of his future. “Dancing is part of me now!” he said. “The Latin dances are where my passions are.”
And Vienna better dust off her dancing shoes: Pavelka promises his future wife will join him on the dance floor soon. Until then, the couple is looking forward to some quality down time.
“I feel pretty sure that we will go to Tahiti or Hawaii and kick our feet up for a little while and focus on our relationship and just see where life takes us right after that,” Pavelka says.
Following a night of Argentine tangos, sexy sambas and a swing marathon, the seven remaining pairs on Dancing With the Stars — including low-finishers Niecy Nash and Louis Van Amstel and Jake Pavelka and Chelsie Hightower — faced another elimination Tuesday night.
Thanking his partner Hightower for being “one of my best friends,” Pavelka was bounced from what he called “the best season of Dancing With the Stars I’ve ever seen.”
“I can’t put into words how much I’ve enjoyed this,” he said through tears. “I didn’t imagine how hard it would be to say goodbye.”
Reigning Bachelor Jake Pavelka channeled Tom Cruise in Risky Business on Monday night’s Dancing With the Stars by stripping down to his skivvies. And whaddaya know? He and partner Chelsie Hightower ended up in the top 3 for the first time!
“You leave it all on the dance floor, and there’s some skin out there, I think,” Jake said afterward. “Once in a lifetime opportunity! And my knees will heal.”
Maksim Chmerkovskiy stated to E!: “He’s desperate…with his pants off. I don’t blame him. You’re in the bottom two, you wanted the numbers, there’s nothing to lose, so he just took his pants off.”
To recreat Tom Cruise’s iconic underwear scene from Risky Business was, well, risky for Jake Pavelka.
He’s jumped into hot tubs on The Bachelor, but dancing the cha cha in undies required baby steps.
“I rehearsed for the first time in underwear and there was about five people,” Pavelka told People Magazine. “Then about 20 people, and then for dress rehearsal about 40 people. And then we did it tonight for about 25 million people.”
Pavelka’s partner, Chelsie Hightower, “was loving every minute of it,” she says. “I was laughing my head off.” Meanwhile, Derek Hough was impressed: “I love how he just comes out and doesn’t hold back. He just goes for it,” he says. “There’s no way my chicken legs are ever making an appearance on this show!”
Dancing in his tighty whiteys paid off as he survived elimination this week.
Not only did America see Dallas pilot Jake Pavelka make a final decision on Monday night’s Bachelor season finale, but it was revealed that he and ten other celebrities — including Shannen Doherty and Pamela Anderson — have signed on to compete on season 10 of Dancing with the Stars.
“It’s fitting that in our landmark tenth season we’ve got many of the stars we’ve been chasing since season one to agree to take part,” Dancing executive producer Conrad Green said. “This has the potential to be the most memorable cast we’ve ever had.”
Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, reality star Kate Gosselin, Olympic gold medalist Evan Lysacek, and actresses Doherty and Anderson highlight the eclectic cast. Also readying to boogie in the ballroom are Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger, soap star Aiden Turner, NFL star Chad Ochocinco, ESPN’s Erin Andrews, and actress-comedian Niecy Nash.
