3/1 Finale Show Discussion *Spoilers*

[anders332]

I don't see Vienna ending this under any circumstances (well, that is unless she gets offered a high-paying job in the media, like Melissa, the chances of which are probably non-existent). Whether she is truly in love with him, just infatuated, or caught up in "winning", being with Jake offers her the best options right now. Otherwise she'd have to go back to FL and try to embark on some mundane career, which I don't think she has the slightest interest in. If she starts getting bored with him once they move back to Texas and his media opportunities dry up, I can picture her just acting out, going out partying with friends or possibly cheating, and treating Jake like a poor unsuspecting and easily manipulated patsy/Daddy. It will be up to Jake to throw her out if it gets to that point. Or she may surprise us all and actually grow up. Time will tell.

2 yrs is a very long time to stay with someone just to get to keep a ring - especially for someone who is 23 and having the time of her life.

I can see her staying with Jake until it's just not fun anymore. And if the opportuniites pan out the way they hope they do, she could possibly buy the ring (at a reduced rate since it's used anyway) from ABC - if she really wants to keep it, or get daddy to pay for it.

You know there is probably some infatuation there...I think most of us have been in that shoe at one time or another. Infatuation can turn to true love and as most love just takes time. Give Vienna time I think she will grow up...afterall the best teacher in that is life experiences. I would imagine she has heard that by now anyway and realizes she needs to work on it. We all have faults and I would imagine most of us at that age were in that bucket at some point.

But I think Jake is part of the problem. I think Vienna will learn from her mistakes and grow into a wonderful woman like the ones on this board who have gone through similar stuff. But I don't think that maturing is going to happen while she is with Jake. A great partner is someone who challenges you and makes you want to be a better person. Jake blames her immaturity on her surroundings and the other women. I hope for Vienna's sake that someday she meets a wonderful man who makes Vienna want to be the best she can!

I found it awkward that Tenley kept pushing him to explain why he didn't choose her. Jake was trying very hard to be gentle and not hurt her feelings. Hey, Tenley, HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU!

I know but what a blow to the self-esteem that he's into Vienna.:p

I have a few questions that are bothering me and I am looking for help here.

1) Have there ever been any other B/B'ettes that don't discuss with the family after meeting the guys/gals who they actually like? Admittedly, it is always a useless exchange but you kind of get used to the lead saying, "now you understand where I am, I have 2 great guys/gals blah, blah...
2) Since they "winners" supposedly can't reveal to anyone, exactly where did the princesses' dad think she was going for 4-5 days at a clip..witness protection? Or maybe he believed a n out of town Hooters job!!!!

You know...so many people say it is scripted so all must know the outcome before it is over.

Also doesn't Vienna get to keep that $65,000 engagement ring if she and Jake just STAY together for a mere 2 years? Or does there have to be a wedding? I assume that that is 2 years from the time of the actual engagement which was 3 months ago. So, in 21 months Vienna will have "won" a $65,000 engagement ring at the very least - not a bad consolation prize indeed.

Jezzz the ring must have gone up in value in less than a week. It was stated that it was $42,000 ring not $65,000. Just petty change there.

I was just thinking last night about the family's very quick turnaround on Vienna at the parents' home.
Jake's mom said, is she the one who didn't get along with the other girls ( or something similar??
Well, wasn't this show filmed well before it was shown on TV? How would the Mom know - before the TV show aired - that Vienna didn't get along with the other women?

I realize this show is pretty scripted and heavily edited, but that really makes no sense to me the more I think about it.

Jake told his family all about Vienna and the girls in the house. Then he felt bad for doing it. You must have missed it.

Jake and Vienna were on Ellen today. Ellen asked her if she knew he was going to pick her. Vienna said she knew in her heart that she was going to marry him. Yeah right!!! Vienna was terrified that Jake wasn't going to pick her. So seems like Vienna is trying to save face. And it's horrible that the media is trashing Vienna.

[brittyiswitty]

Maybe she knew he was the one for her but maybe she was nervous because she had already told him how she felt that she loves him, he could not at the time return the reply she needed but terrified imo no nervous yes. I dont think she was trying to save face because she told the SIL that Jakes loves her she in her heart was sure of that but would he acknowledge it is another matter because there was another girl.

I wouldn't blame the media so much. Vienna has done a good job alienating people without their help. Watching her on Ellen today, didn't help me see her in a diferent light. She still acts like an immature "ditz". Wonder how long it will take Jake to wake up to that fact

Jake never struck me as a perceptive person, quite the opposite in fact. Coupled with the fact that all the "hot sex" is probably clouding his brain like it would a horny teenager, it may take a while.
