In desperate need of Chillaxin Time
Dancing with the Stars obliterates Jake Pavelka's Bachelor rep
Is it just me, or has being on Dancing with the Stars ruined Jake Pavelka’s public image? The guy already lost fans with The Vienna Affair (sounds like a movie), and now we get to see his uptight side — he really cannot win.
I keep trying to give him another chance but it’s just not working. Just seeing him in practice, one can’t help but feel tense. Pavelka gets frustrated with himself while trying to be positive (lots of forced laughter) and then gets frustrated with his instructor — it's a trainwreck. Honestly, I think the guy needs a nice, long, breakdown to get all the pent up rage out of his system.
The former Bachelor's likeability rating is taking a nose dive and after Pavelka ended up in the bottom two last week, he must have been advised to work on his public persona. He showed up to practice with a shirt that read, “Turn Up, Keep Up, Show Up” on one side and “Trust your pro” on the other. Poor guy. It’s a nice attempt at damage control, but at the end of the day, it's too late.
The Bachelor could be gone from DWIS tonight.
Good news for Kate Gosselin though — with Jake doing so poorly — and her own slight improvements (the mom of eight's been praised for "determination") — her own publicity train wreck could sputter on.
