Vienna and I went to Florida this past weekend to visit her parents. I haven't seen them since the filming of The Bachelor in November.
Her family is great! We really had a good time dodging paparazzi. Its a little strange being thrust into the spotlight all of the sudden.
This weekend Vienna's Family and I went out on a boat on the St. John river. Its kind of in the middle of nowhere. In the middle of the river there is a small isolated island where alligators sun themselves. I was looking for gators and saw up in a palmtree a guy with a telephoto lense taking pictures.
Two questions: 1. How did he get out there? 2. Did he make it back to shore in the gator infested waters....?

Oh... Its crazy. US Weekly interviewed my dry cleaners... LOL! Thats just great! Now all of America knows I like light starch.

Training for DWTS is a crazy life changing event.
My days consist of, getting up at 5:30am 7 days a week. I have a bit of quiet time and then grab an 800 clean calorie breakfast.
(Oatmeal, Eggs, Almond butter, Spark by advocare, Banana, Blueberries all blended together.)
I then stretch for 30mins, and work my core and lowerback. I spend minimum 45 mins every morning studying dance routines on youtube of pro ballroom and latin dance couples. Then off to the studio.
I feel myself mentally getting stronger, not to mention the dance routines are such a powerful core workout. I'm not a whoow-as-me type guy, and not pulling a sympathy card, but this dance stuff everyday is rough on your body. I don't know how Chelsie does it. I have 2 blisters on my feet. 3 pulled muscles in my back, and I don't sleep a whole lot thinking of the competition coming up. But when you get right down to it. Everyday we are in the studio for 5-6 hours, at least, there's been dramatic improvement everyday.
Chelsie is a pretty hardcore dance instructor and she knows her stuff cold! . I've really been having a great time. So far we have run through 5 of the possible dances for this season.

Its easy to overstress and lose sight of what this really all about. The most important thing is to have a blast. Probably the best advice Jillian Harris gave me before the Bachelor started filming. Even if I fall down night one and break my arm I'm going to have fun doing it.

My blogs will start to happen more frequently and will definetly get one written before the DWTS premier this Monday Night on ABC. Keep the facebook and twitters going! Im trying to answer all of the messages on there.

  5. Hi Jake. Yes, you sure do need a power breakfast and power workout before your day starts. Glad to know that you're having a blast and enjoying every moments. Seize every moments and know in your heart that you're there for a good reason...to dance!!!!

  6. Jake, the first thing you need to do is SLEEP and the second is work on your dancing and the third is just have fun. Don't worry so much about answering fans' tweets at this point, as they will expect you to spend your every free moment tweeting them. You can't; you need to stay sane and live your life. It is what it is now. Some will love you, some will hate you, others will be indifferent. Don't worry; you'll get lots of votes because you're such a nice guy and you're going to do well!!

  8. Nice blogging, can you add another one here for Vienna or is this an ABC sponsored site? So looking forward to DWTS, can't wait to see you do your stuff and watch Vienna cheering you from the front row. Did I read right that Chloe is now with her "family"? If so I am really happy. Y'all just be happy and don't even respond to the negatives...life is too short. Take the best and leave the rest!

  9. I looked for you on facebook but you don't show up....? Anyways, that's really funny that they interviewed your dry cleaning lady and that you saw a guy up in the trees! Congrats to you in Vienna - she is beautiful and you are handsome! I loved watching the Bachelor and you are a really great guy.

  13. I never watched The Bachelor religiously before, until I watched the last season when you chose Vienna. And I haven't yet watched DWTS religiously yet, either. I am sure this time around I will. Mainly because of you, lol. PLUS, I do believe it has it's best cast line up yet! I know of the majority celebrities dancing this time around, haha! Good luck on DWTS! Try not to let nerves get the best of you! Watch your posture! They want it to be real, so try not to aim for stiffness, I noticed the judges complain about that a lot!

  15. Jake that is so great to bad the gators didn't get you both! And you look like "Goofy" at Disney Worls and Vienna looked like "Donald Duck" Chelsie she looks like a true "Princess" not like daddy's little Princess your with, You did make a "HUGE MISTAKE" if you go back and watch a few of the episodes Vienna was very jealous of Ali and a few other woman, when they were all sand bug riding and Ali said she wanted shot gun with Jake, Vienna made a comment let her have him now he's mine in the end. Also when he was with Gia by the campfire Vienna was spying on them in her video camera, totally childish and very jealous on her part, not to mention all the times she would interrupt when Jake was talking with the other girls on alone time she had no problem just walking in and breaking it, Ali got in her face on that because it was wrong not only did Ali say something to her but a few other girls did, Also when they were at the Winery she was sneaking around to find Jake & Gia which she did how desperate was that? Jake really needs to go back & look over the episodes again he should see for himself how rude Vienna the tramp was totally disrespectful to the other girls..One can only believe certain rumors in the tabloids but when you see it with your own two eyes you know there real not made up, like her topless Pics, Hooters day's, the cruise ship drunken guy's and much more, Truth be it her actions speak louder than her words..She's typical immature and self-centered spoiled little Daddy's Brat. I'm glad Ali, Gia & Tenly and all the other girls got out..PS Jake go back and LOOK real close at her actions then you'll see what the girls were talking about, but then again you two deserve each other by the looks of it your not much better..He is very immature himself and thinks his TV career will go far his time is almost up I can't wait until I can turn on my TV and NOT see either one of them anymore, I doubt he is even a Pilot anymore, after all he stole from his business partner as well..Can't wait to see you on DWTS should be good!

  22. Proverbs 12 verse 3 in the "Holy Bible" says " A wife of noble character is her husband's crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones." It also says "The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down." It also says "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Vienna wasn't ready, but "Gia" was...; don't worry about their friendship. Pray for yourself (in Jesus'Name) and give the girl a second chance !!! Peace and God Bless.
