I haven't been able to post recently because I was still reeling from the finale. I held out hope despite all spoilers until the end that Jake would choose Tenley. Was there really anything worse than when Tenley was practically begging him in tears, saying "You don't have to say goodbye"?
Of course his family loved her. Of course his dad was crying Jake-style while talking to her. Its like Jake knew it was too perfect and too easy. We don't want the peace a calm relationships, we want the drama, the rollercoaster.
When his fam asked Vienna what she liked about him, she said "nothing". How adorable. It was then he knew they would be together forever.
He is a liar! He said he had values, goals for marriage, yadda yadda. When it was right in front of him he said there was no "spark". Sparks mean fire, electrocution, DANGER. The fact that he picked her showed what Ali had said before: "If she's what he wants, then I'm not what he wants." Nothing was more telling of his character than who it came down to in the end. You can talk values and virtues til you're blue in the face but it wont mean anything.
Vienna wanted her prince, and I guess she got one, at least for now. Eventually he will get sick of spoiling her on his pilot's salary, begging her to make dinner and shower, and she will realize he regularly wears running shoes with jeans. Romance = dead.
The best thing that's come out of this? Jake is gone and we can move on to someone else!
