No, not Vienna!

This season’s hunky- on-the-outside, mushy-on-the-inside star of ABC’s “The Bachelor,” Jake Pavelka, claims he couldn’t get a date in high school.

Now, he has whittled down a group of 25 attractive, made-for-TV women pandering to be his wife to just two.

Jake, a pilot with a penchant for letting loose the waterworks and saying things like, “I’m not looking for the most beautiful girl, I’m looking for the most beautiful heart,” must be looking really, really hard at finalist Vienna Girardi’s chest.

You know, so he can see her heart.

It seems that with Vienna, the odds-on favorite to win the final rose this season, Jake may be in for more than he bargained.

Vienna is easily the most-hated contestant on “The Bachelor” this season — whether you’re asking her competitors or the show’s many fans.

In a season marked by scandals, Vienna continues to draw the most ire.

She irritated the other ladies vying for Jake’s affection almost from the get-go, especially when it became clear that he was interested in what the self-styled “marketing representative” was selling.

The easygoing, free-wheeling Vienna tried to spice things up by sneaking into Jake’s room for some alone time.

She made out with him while they dangled upside-down from a bungee cord, and she licked his face on a pirate ship, which seemed to confuse and turn him on at the same time.

“I like Vienna. I like her a lot, and I want to fall for her, and so I’m just gonna let my heart go and see where it lands,” Jake has said.

Unsurprisingly, in her 23 years, Vienna has already lived a life that wouldn’t seem to be a good fit for straight-laced Jake.

A former Hooters waitress and bikini contest fanatic, Vienna reportedly dated Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough for a brief spell. She’s posed nearly nude in a calendar.

There were rampant rumors that Vienna drained her ex-husband Josh Riley’s bank account to pay for a boob job.

Then there’s even more recent drama involving Vienna and her ex-boyfriend. Depending on which rumors you believe, Vienna has been stalking her ex and his new ladyfriend ever since the “Bachelor” wrapped.

The tawdry stories don’t seem to be hurting “Bachelor” ratings. They’ve been solid all season long, in spite of Jake, whose good looks and studly job as a pilot can’t make up for the fact that he’s about as interesting as tarmac.

At least some of the interest was fueled by fans waiting for the ax to fall on Vienna — and are now aghast that Jake may very well say she’s the one for him.

Jake’s other option, barring any out-of-the-blue game changers, is Tenley Molzahn, a good-natured sweetheart who left her ex-husband after discovering he was having an affair. Jake says he loves her values and her morals.

“I don’t like to let the sun go down with a big problem,” said Jake.

Looks like if he picks Vienna next week, there may be many sleepless nights ahead.
