Jake Pavelka On Those Bachelor Pad Promos & Becoming Friends With Vienna?

By Jolie LashBEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- In the promos for Monday nights season premiere of ABCs The Bachelor Pad, Jake Pavelka is caught on camera saying, I hope she falls 3,000 feet to her death, but the reality star said he isnt hoping for the demise of any of his fellow contestants. Im not gonna comment on editing, but I dont wish anybody to death, he told Access Hollywood at Sunday nights ABC Television Critics Association party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Youre gonna have to watch the episode [on Monday] to see what I was really talking about. It was in relationship to a challenge. Bachelor Pad host Chris Harrison told Access that the conflict revealed on the upcoming show between Jake and his former Bachelor fiancee, Vienna Girardi, is simply of a dramatic nature. No, Vienna was not hurt or killed in the production of the Bachelor Pad, he laughed. While this season brings together some of the biggest headline-grabbers in The Bachelor and Bachelorette franchises, including Girardis new beau, Kasey Kahl, Harrison said hosting the show isnt taxing despite being surrounded by lots and lots of drama. Its awesome to film Bachelor Pad Its the best show to host of all the shows I do, because its great. You have all these characters, they come back on their own volition, Harrison said. Theres no tricks. Youve come back, you know whats going on. Its a game showYou just kind of let them do their thing. Its phenomenal. Jake said filming Bachelor Pad has been enjoyable and he made plenty of pals. I became friends with everybody on the show. Probably, at a stones throw, I would say even Kasey and Vienna. At least Im ready for a friendship, I cant speak for her, Jake told Access. She can take baby steps and you know, whenever shes ready The former Bachelor said Viennas reluctance to speak with him over the last year actually served as an impetus for his joining the Bachelor Pad cast. We started a conversation about a year ago and she abruptly stopped the conversation and it was time to pick it up, he said. I reached out to her a couple of times throughout the year to no joy and I knew she was gonna be on Bachelor Pad and I thought, whatev, what a perfect opportunity, to get to her. Jake said he understands America is tired of it, referring to the drama between the former couple, which has continued to play out in the press, and hes ready to move on and let it be. She wasnt my girlfriend, she was my fiancee. You just gotta be mature about it. Quit talking about it after Monday night. Thats it, Jake said. This is the last go around and then thats it.
