Vienna isn't so bad?

If you've been following along with The Bachelor, then you know that everyone hates Vienna. And for pretty good reason, too; she's not very nice to the other girls in the house. But for some reason, Bachelor Jake Pavelka has a thing for Vienna. Now, ex-contestant Ella is saying it's OK.

It seems like every single girl in the Bachelor house hates Vienna. The girls keep wondering how Jake could like them if he also likes Vienna since she's so different from everyone else he's chosen so far. But now Ella, who was kicked off in last week's rose ceremony, is sticking up for Vienna, saying she understands where Jake is coming from.

According to Ella, "The show is ultimately his decision... What he sees in Vienna, none of the rest of us girls were there on their date when they were alone. She is different when she is with him than she was in the house with us. I can see him just not taking the girls word for it when he is not seeing it on his own."

But then, Ella has definitely been known for staying out of most of the house's drama. She is a bit older than the rest of the contestants and has a son at home, so she's probably not in to the petty drama so much. She says, "So I didn't get catty or jealous of any of the other women... I didn't really see that there was that much drama because I stayed out of it. I knew there were a couple of them that didn't get along all the time, but I stayed out of it."

Are you a fan of Vienna or do you wish Jake would vote her off the show already? When asked, Ella said she would choose Tenley as the winner of Jake's heart.
