It was no surprise that most of the three hours of the Bachelor Pad 2 premiere spiraled around the ongoing drama between warring exes Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi, but was the total episode-domination really justified?

While 6.9 million viewers were glued to the train wreck, a star of last season's show and Jake's former Bachelorette house mate, Jesse Kovacs says he thinks the confrontation was overkill.

"It's the kind of train-wreck drama that people love to watch, like a car accident on the side of the road," Kovacs, who competed against Jake for Jillian Harris' affections in season five of the Bachelorette, told Breaking Celebrity News in an exclusive interview.

"I thought it was overkill - if Vienna is over him like she says she is, then why go over it five or six times? Just get over!" said the winemaker from Northern California. "I think she just wanted to get face-time and knew exactly what she was doing, but that's the whole point of reality TV."

Kovacs has remained close with most of his Bachelorette co-stars but admits that he never trusted Jake 'the Snake' Pavelka.

"I thought he was a phony from the get-go. He has a fake laugh and facial impressions that's reiterated by everyone who meets him," he told Breaking Celebrity News. "It's tough to get along with him because you never know when he's being real."
