• If the film is 51% or more of the votes (or not), the contest is over. Otherwise, the auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers will be divided into 10 movie dick. The film with the fewest votes is eliminated and that the stack of 2 votes go to the movies rest accordingly.

• If the majority does not reach the number 2 vote, the process repeats itself, remove the battery nearest the action was redistributed. This process continues until a film has a majority. Until that moment, a second-choice votes were removed, the Auditor was the # 3, and then, until the elections, when necessary.

Bachelor Jake Pavelka is explaining what he meant when he told runner-up Tenley Molzahn that they lacked "physical chemistry" on the March 1 finale. (Tenley, 25, remarked that she was confused by Jake's choice of words.)

"Ok, I'll come clean: Physical and sexual chemistry are the same thing," Jake, 32, said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Thursday.

He said that he used the word "physical" instead of "sexual" because he "was trying to take the high road and be nice. I didn't want to crush her because she is such a wonderful person."

For the most part, he and fiancee Vienna Girardi say viewers are pleased they're together.

"It's nice because we weren't sure if we were going to have supporters or haters, but a lot of people have been supportive," Vienna said.

She did have one hater: When she was recently walking down Rodeo Drive, she says a lady yelled 'Boo!' out of her window. "I was like, 'Pop a tire!'" Vienna told Kimmel.

Why does she think some viewers despise her so much?

"People love to hate, and I have a huge personality, and it's even more amplified on the show," she said.
