‘Bachelor’ split: Jake and Vienna go public
Is anybody surprised that a superficial relationship that began on television continues to crumble … on television?
Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi battled and bickered, weeped and stomped off Monday night in a reunion at the end of “The Bachelorette” that stands second only to my high school class’ 25th as far as disasters go.
Clearly the animosity is real, but some relationship experts suggest that the public drama is a calculated ploy to keep the reality stars’ names in the public eye and extend their 15 minutes of fame.
”When you find people putting behavior like that out there, they are people who are more concerned about the integrity of their brand rather than the content of their character,” D. Ivan Young, author of relationship guide “Break Up, Don’t Break Down,” told the Associated Press. “Those relationships are superficial at best.”
So, never mind Team Edward and Team Jacob — are you Team Jake or Team Vienna? Sound off in the comments below.
