Following this week’s explosive premiere of the second season of Bachelor Pad, Jake Pavelka opened up to Ryan Seacrest Thursday on why he spared his ‘fame hungry’ ex-fiancée Vienna Girardi from elimination and how he feels about her new relationship with Kasey Kahl.

After Seacrest played a clip in which Kasey called Jake "a jackass" and a "piece of sh*t," Jake called Kasey "a kid" and" a big teddy bear."

"It's an act, I can see right through it," said Jake, a Dallas-based pilot who chose Vienna on the 14th season of The Bachelor, only to have their relationship publicly implode. "I feel sorry for the guy because I fell for the same trap... he's in love with her, he's trying to protect her.
