"Bachelor Pad&amp;#039;s Jake Pavelka has explained why he saved ex-fianc\u00E9e Vienna Girardi from elimination this week.  Pavelka and castmate Jackie Gordon won immunity from elimination after triumphing in an endurance challenge, and their prize included the opportunity to ensure one other housemate was safe from elimination.  Speaking on Ryan Seacrest&amp;#039;s KIIS-FM radio show, airline pilot Pavelka said that he couldn&amp;#039;t allow Girardi to go home early because he wanted to talk to her about what has happened between them since The Bachelor.  He said: &amp;quot;She was so on edge and she was on her way out. Everybody had decided she was leaving. She would be off the show and I couldn&amp;#039;t let that happen because I needed that moment with her. &amp;quot;It was me saying, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m going to save you, you&amp;#039;ll get to be around and stick with Kasey and it&amp;#039;s an olive branch, let&amp;#039;s go talk&amp;#039;. I tried to do it in the most gentlemanly way and make her comfortable, that&amp;#039;s why I asked Kasey to be with her for support. I was going to say some things that would probably rattle her.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Bachelor Pad opens to high ratings for ABC Pavelka, who said that he hadn&amp;#039;t seen Girardi since their break-up interview with Bachelor host Chris Harrison, added to Seacrest that this was probably one of the last interviews he would give about their relationship, saying: &amp;quot;That chapter is closed.&amp;quot; The Famous Food star previously told reporters that his primary motivation for entering the show was to talk with Girardi, and that if he won the $250,000 prize he would donate it all to disaster relief.  Explaining his desire to help charity, he told Digital Spy: &amp;quot;In the second-to-last week of May, right after the tornadoes, I was flying into Springfield with the airline and we flew over Joplin. I thought I had problems in my life. We were just a couple thousand feet up and I could see [everything]; it was unbelievable to see what happened to that city.  &amp;quot;It just minisculed anything that was going on in my life and I realized that I might have an opportunity to win a couple hundred thousand dollars and that could be life-changing for some people there.&amp;quot;  Bachelor Pad&amp;#039;s season premiere saw wrestler Justin &amp;#039;Rated R&amp;#039; Rego and Alli Travis becoming the first contestants to depart at the first rose ceremony.  Bachelor Pad airs Mondays at 8/7c on ABC. &amp;gt; Bachelor Pad&amp;#039;s Justin Rego on &amp;#039;Rated R&amp;#039;, Jake/Vienna and who will win Listen to Jake Pavelka&amp;#039;s full interview with Ryan Seacrest below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
