'The Bachelor:' new preview video showcases Jake, Vienna, and Tenley

After weeks of drama "The Bachelor" is down to the final two -- and we're getting a prime opportunity to see Jake pondering over the choice that will impact the rest of his life. Several controversial choices have been made -- most of them involving Vienna -- and now her and Tenley are the only girls left.

As the video below illustrates, each girl represents something entirely different. With Tenley, it is someone who is caring, supportive, and perfect for a relaxed family life. Vienna, however, is more passionate and free. Ultimately the choice will come down to how ready Jake is to start a family, since Tenley appears on the surface to be the more mature of the two.

For many, this finale may be one of the most anticlimactic in history. Spoilers have hinted at a certain person winning for weeks, though I will not write it here simply for the sake of the few who want the finale to be a surprise. The more fascinating part of all of this will come during the "After the Final Rose" special, when we see how Jake is currently doing with the girl of his choice.

"The Bachelor" doesn't exactly have a great track record with couples, as only a small handful of pairings produced by the show end up going the distance. The upcoming wedding between Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney is an interesting one, since Mesnick actually picked Melissa Rycroft as his first choice before dumping her on live TV.

    Vienna won't be good for Jake - she is scum. Look at her - she looks cheap and also acts cheap.

    Everyone makes it sound like Jason, dumped poor little ole Mellisa.
    He as we, were duped into believing she was there to find love.
    She is cute and charming, but most of all a gold digger.
    Jason realized he made a mistake and corrected it.
    They'r all three better off.
    Hope they can stay happy and if CBS is willing to pay for the wedding, why not take it.

    I've lost all the respect I had for Jake. Vienna is obviously bad news. Tenley is like a Disney character with outstanding emotional problems over men. Ali, I hope if you go back to Jake, that you think twice. Make him come back when you are the Bachelorette and see if you are sure about him. He was way more emotional than I expected of a pilot. And I've known quite a few from my years in the USAF.

    "her and Tenley are the only left"? did this writer graduate from grammar school? SHE and Tenley, you idiot.

  • Jean 2 years ago

    I think he's going to pull a Brad and not pick either one.

    Ali is the one, its obvious they had natural chemistry. I dont think Jake will pick Tenley or Vienna, I think he will go find Ali!! She is the best one for him i think.

    Wow. That video gave evrytthing away. Evidence: Vienna requested a princess cut ring on the last episaode. The ring he held on the right was princess cut, on the left was not. At the end of the video he got rid of the ring on the left and held the one on the right saying he had made his decision...he picked Vienna, it's no shocker

    I think it is Ali!! I don't think he picks either one of the final two because he just isn't sure of himself and promised he'd never make a commitment without being sure! The way he looked at Ali when he told her that she would always have a friend kinda said it all!

  • no name 2 years ago

    vienna is having jake's baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    He could have switched the rings before he picked. I like Vienna, just because the other girls hated her doesent make her bad. They constantly pick on her. I hope Jake picks her... but that doesnt mean that Vienna isnt a bad choice. hopefully Jake will make the right choice and have a happy loving life like he deserves.

    Ali doesnt deserve jake, she made her choice.

  • karen 2 years ago

    I think he ends up with Ali - regardless of who's he picks at the end of the season (tho Tenley seems perfect for him). He said at Women Tell All that he she was an amazing woman and he hopes they can always remain friends - she said "same!" During after the Final ROse, I think Jake will share that he and Vienna have broken up (or he chose neither) and declares his love for Ali!

    I hope Tenley's the next bachelorette!

    Men do not think w/their heads...well kinda but this show does not allow enough time for the proper "head" to get seated properly. In all the post interviews Jake looks miserable and sounds sad (to me). He picks Vienna (they can edit the ring thingee) and then after the "proper" amt of time elapsed, he saw the "reel" Vienna.....reel to reel....poor Jake was not thinking w/the right head (he's a man).
