THE BACHELOR: ON THE WINGS OF LOVE - "Episode 1406" - As Jake returns to Los Angeles for the rose ceremony, he's certain of his next decision. But nothing has prepared him for what happens next. One bachelorette makes a surprise visit to his room, disclosing a totally unexpected shocking revelation, which leaves Jake reeling. In a season filled with surprises, there is another huge one: for the first time in "Bachelor" history, there will be no rose ceremony, on "The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love," MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. (ABC/GREG ZABILSKI)TENLEY, GIA, VIENNA, ALI
First up on the hometown dates is Gia in New York City, where he gives him a boat tour of the city skyline. She relates that she's bad luck with boyfriends: One cheated with all her friends, the other got into awful fights. Her family is extra protective, given her past heartbreaks. Gia's brother tells her that Jake "seems okay" but advises her to "watch out." "I just want it to work so bad," Gia says.

THE BACHELOR: ON THE WINGS OF LOVE -

Would you choose work or a chance at love?

After watching Ali's choice, what would you do in her situation?

Wow very rough question. I think if I were in that situation, it would ultimately depend on the words he said to me. If he could have just busted out and told me that "you are the one", I would have stayed, BUT I know it wouldnt be fair to the other girls unless he told them all that he made up his mind like that night... BUT they would have felt lead on because he told each one he was falling in love... He doesnt quite know yet until after the overnight dates which is like their last dates, so I would have had to choose work.... I would not gamble my job unless I knew for sure... But there was no way of knowing for sure in their situation and what Jake had already been through with the other girls as well... I wouldnt want that "chance" at love, (although since he broke the rules enough already, why couldnt he have ended the show that night and told the other girls that he knows who he loves!) On the other hand, I wish Ali would have made 100% certain that she was fired for sure if she chooses the chance at love... Smart choice though, they had that great connection and I would have hated to see Ali get her heart broken in the end. Thats the hardest part about this show, is that at the final two, someone goes home and that one person will be torn apart... I like the last three girls... Only because of how he feels about them... Not so much Vienna, just because of the too easy going and daddys girl thing and her being too much of a baby.. But I do think she has cute features like her hair, eyes, smile... I like all three of the last girls... So tough... I couldnt choose, its just gonna end up being Jakes decision in the end and how he feels... if he loves one of them, I hope he knows before the last ceremony... Jake you could still go run back to Ali!! Anyway, no I would definately of chosen work in that situation.... especially if it is a good job that might be hard to find in the future... Why would they be firing her for being gone!!!? Errr... If it was a unhappy job, I would have just quit and went for love, why didnt Jake tell her that would be ok and then talk about what future plans could look like Oh he couldnt because he didnt know who he was gonna pick. Omg I just hope jake followed his heart, and I'm with everyone 100%.

Ali needs to tell work bye bye and stay and fight for Jake. She is perfect with Him and He definately is feeling the connection.

Work, because it's the more rational choice in a situation like this.

I think love is more important but.. in saying that I don't think the Bachelor is LOVE.. he LOVES everyone.. I think when it is all said and done she should keep her job.

I would choose love. It's not as if she was searching for the cure for cancer. She's an account executive. I know the economy is tight but to make such a big fuss over a such an ordinary pursuit is just daft.

I think the Bachelor show gets more disgusting each week. You insult our intelligence with all the fake/staged drama. Last night I turned it off!!! I can't take it any longer.......the producers should be ashamed!!! You completely ruined a good show....it gets worse each season!

As Wes would sing, "they say love don't come easy"! Remember in the beginning, Jake said he would choose love over flying if he had to make a choice? Ali blew it by choosing her job; and Jake is very traditional and probably wants a more domesticated wife, rather than a career girl.

She made the only rational choice that she could given her situation. It is difficult to be 25 and starting your career; she had no guarantee from a guy who she clearly questioned his decision making. I think she was dead on. If JAKE CAN FALL FOR SOMEONE LIKE VIENNA - THEN HE PROBABLY ISN'T GOING TO BE HER LIFE LONG PARTNER. Sorry don't want to sound like a Vienna basher she just doesn't come off as being ready for what a marriage requires. She needs her daddy and her dressed up dog. If the producers have played her out to be someone she is not we will eventually see that. It seemed confirmed that she has issues given the step mothers confesssion that she has always had trouble with other girls etc...

LOVE of course!! She just wanted to create drama...looked like poor acting to me...she almost cracked a smile, her messing her hair and whiny crying was pathetic. I was waiting for her to stamp her feet and demand he choose her right now...bye bye Ali.....you are a bad actress and a baby. Be a big girl and decide for yourself what to do.

It's not about her work, she said it. It's about having something she knows. The unknown was killing her. She was unable to hang in there with it long enough to find out mainly because she couldn't handle the idea of competing with Vienna. She has hopes that if it was true love he will come running after her either way! LOL! maybe he will.

Why does this show think it has to keep manufacturing Drama? I'm sick of it! C'mon do they really think we believe this stuff? Those girls and guys for that matter sign contracts. They have their time all set aside beforehand. I mean, the acting is atrocious. Her crocodile tears were so fake, they made me laugh. It's so predictable...show she's going to come back and ask him to take her back at the last minute. The show was good when it was honest , people looking for love, but this is turning into Trashy manufactured unreality, reality soap opera baloney. First Jason sends Molly away and picks Melissa then changes his mind on TV! We all hated that, did they think that was good Television. I barely watched the show the next season. I didn't even see ED leave..but I'm sure that was as phoney as this...and now Ally is suddenly having to chose between work and the show? PLUUEEEAAASSSE? Get original...or just let things happen the way they really happen...don't make ur Bachelors keeps saying they're falling in love with everyone..it just cheapens the whole thing. Don't keep jerking around with fake drama...just let it happen. Reality is way more interesting than this fake Manufactured DRAMA!

I would have taken the job because there was no guarantee with Jake, he couldn't tell her that she was the one. The way the economy is right now, she made the right choice.

Unfortunately, with today's economy, I would have to choose the job. As the saying goes, if you love something, set it free, if it comes back it is yours, if it doesn't it never was. If Jake truly loves Ali, he will go after her after the show is over.

Ali is playing a game with it.... she can't face the idea of losing out to Vienna so she sabbatoged it for herself instead. She didn't want to take the risk of taking the chance of winning his heart by staying in the game. The uncertainty was killing her. She is living on a cloud thinking that if it's true love, he will come running after her now gone that she's gone! Drama Queen!

I would have thought if you went on a show like this, really hoping to find love, you would have cleared it with your place of employment to be gone for the length of the show. I don't know what I would do in this situation though. If I felt that I had a good shot at being the last one standing, I would take the chance. After all if we were really getting married, I would assume that I would be relocating anyway.

I would choose work. But that's just the kinda person I am. She did the right things. The love question was too unsure.

sunnyrobino

I would of chose my job, because Jake certainly wasn't making any promises to her! In todays economy when we do need jobs, Ali did the right thing! If Jake knows that Ali is for him than he will go find her or have some kind of power to have her come back! BUT she did the right thing for herself and she wasn't totally in love with Jake, could see that! She does have alot of maturing to do for LOVE to last with Jake. Hes mature and he should know by now what kind of woman he wants, in the end when he has a RING in his hand, he will know and I am hoping for Tenley to be the one at his side, NOT Vienna she wants the Prince and the Princess marriage which is only in fairy tales NOT in real life

What do you think?I agree with you that Ali did the right thing. She needs to take care of herself. She is different than the other girls in that she has a job that is important to her. I completely admire her for doing what is right for her. I agree with Ali that if she and Jake are meant to be it will work out.

if i knew i had a chance i would choose love over a job, if u r that good at what u do then it shouldnt b hard to find another job, love isnt that easy to find....i am SOOOOO glad ali is gone though, she is a drama starting girl, and she is sooo fake, she just wanted the publicity, she couldnt answer jakes hard questions

I don't know what it is about Jake that is so fun to watch, but it's hard to wish ill will on him. I think he needs somebody sweet and low-maintenance. The guy is a pilot--he's never home! And when he comes home, do you think he's going to want to have to mess around with damage control all the time? Hell no! He's best to chose someone who'll lie low and just love him well. I think he'll do the right thing in the end. It's probably not Vienna. But what the heck... sew those oats. Soon it'll be over and I think he'll be better off with Tenley or Gia for the long haul.

I'd choose the chance at love. After all, isn't that why Ali signed up to be on the Bachelor. The whole "Ali leaving" scene seemed quite staged to me.

marilynmunstered

If Jake asked Ali to marry, wouldn't she have to give up her job anyway? There is a huge possibility she would have to relocate if committing to a relationship. So that doesn't make sense with her decision. She's playing Jake, OR, she's just playing to the camera. I really think that Ali was purposely trying to get a commitment out of Jake. He had three other woman he cared about and Ali was feeling insecure and she played the "choose me" card TOO EARLY and lost. I think even to the end, she expected Jake to beg her to stay. When he closed the door limo door on her, you could tell she was surprised and realized then, what she had done. Her BLUFF was played and now SHE LOST.

sillymorons

No. If Ali agreed to marry Jake, he would have to relocate for her!! I agree she may have been playing Jake and trying to get a committment out of him, which he was not ready to give. I still admire her for doing what is right for her. I also think Ali could do much better than Jake. You go girl!!!

Amulek4Christ

Depends on how much I enjoyed my job and how much I liked the guy. If I knew this was the one and was madly in love with him and he with me, and he could support me until I relocated and found a job, I would go for it.

MissRusty2

I would have stayed. Even in this day and age where a job is important, what is to say that that company will keep her anyway. They can turn around and dump her and then where will she be. If she is good at her job, she can always find another one, especially if she'd be with Jake she'd have to anyway, cause she'd be moving to where he's living anyway. Now Jake is stuck with 2 girls that are SO not right for him and 1 that is so-so (Gia). You can tell that now he is just going to settle for just picking one of those 3 girls and not choosing the right that was truly right for him (Ali).

I'd choose love if I at least had a 95% feeling that it was heart felf on the other end. But what happened to being discrecionary during the show??? Jake and Vienna have been spotted in a little town in Florida the second week of the show. UGH I know it's not me marrying her but really Jake?? Everything you were looking for on the Bachelorett and what you are settling for with Vienna are so opposite. Vienna and her family come off a little on the white trash side. She totally thinks she needs to be put on a pedastel and though you may find that cute now, it will get old and she will become very demanding of you and that doesn't make for a happy marriage. She's putting on the show for the publics eye and I don't buy her families excuse of how other women are just intimidated by her. She pushes those buttons all by herself. And think about the father-in-law you would get, wow what a winner he seemed to be. You can go gator hunting for your bonding moments! If this is his choice, I think that I will have to find another Monday program to watch. Ali and Tenley are so much more his type and the right fit. It's not love he's feeling more like lust which fades all to quickly.

It is hard to say, in todays economy with JOBS so scarce over LOVE I would say WORK, Ali knew that Jake wasn't making good promises to her or not. If Jake wouldn't of chose her than she would of been out of a job that she really loves!! I think she did the right thing, but she will have some reqrets down the line when she realizes that she was truly in love with Jake, unless that was all a show! The girl in the red and Gia I hope he chooses! I don't think Vienna is good for him, and the way the father said she should be treated like a Princess, theres no way a man should jump that LOW for a woman like her! In todays world thats not how the REAL world is!! Come on now, get into reality here. JUST RUN Ali:-}

The job is a guarantee, Jake is not. In today's economy I can understand her decision. She is young and has thousands of people who would like her job. I think she will come back. If not, then as long as it is not Vienna I don't care. I think Gia is a little to immature for him. I will cheer for Tenley if Ali is gone.

I HOPE he doesn't choose Vienna. I think he should choose 2 of the other girls. If Vienna wants him to treat her like a Princess, than shes in wonderland. I think that Ali would of been perfect for him but her feelings weren't there for Jake because he job was more important than he was. I would of chose LOVE over work if I was her, but that is her and shes going to have to live with reqrets and Jake didn't run after her, thats his problem. Just HOPE to God he doesn't choose Vienna, she looks like trouble and the other blonde girl the dancing one looks good for him, they make a cute pair!! This is only what I think!!! I hope you find real love Jake:-}

I feel Ali did the right thing. From what I know it seems like she has a good job that she loves and we all know that it is hard to get a job in this economy. I also think that she did have true feeling for Jake and it probably killed her to leave. As for her coming back.... I would love to see that! another thing is that if Jake really did have any sort of feeling for her and he really did love her he would go find her. Call me old fashion but if you find the one you know right away and would do anything to be with them.

emly26

That's hard to say. I can see both sides of it. On one hand she could end up with the love of her life and on the other she could end up jobless. The fact that Jake really wanted her to stay says a lot, not to mention how genuinely sad he was to see her leave. In my opinion she could have been the one for him (or could still be if she comes back and if Jake still really loves her.) Out of the final 4 and even before that everything between them seemed real. I really think they were falling in love. Have a little faith and take a chance. On the flip side of that Jake had 3 other women, one I'm still now sure why she's still there, but that's up to him not me. It makes sense taking your job over Jake. It's hard to find a job these days and if you have a good one then hold on to it. Be glad you have a job. I guess I don't really know how to answer that. I'm glad it was them and not me. I'd be in tears too if it was me.

If I was certain I would end up with that guy in the end, I would choose the guy. However, that wasn't the case with Ali. She could leave her job and stay there but if Jake chooses someone else she would be without a man and a job. She made the right decision under the circumstances as they stood at that point.

I think that if he new for sure she was the one he would have stopped her from leaving. I think if at the end he knows the one is not the three girls left he knows where she lives so go after her. I hope he pics Gia.
