Bachelor Pad: Are Kiptyn and Tenley an Item?

Kiptyn and Tenley share more than a spirit of competition on ABC's Bachelor Pad.

We first met Tenley on The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love with Jake Pavelka. Kiptyn is from The Bachelorette season 5, in which men vied for the heart of Jillian Harris.

Kiptyn and Tenley shared a one-on-one date this week on The Bachelor Pad. At the end of the date they opted to give up their individual lodging for the night and make use of the Fantasy Suite.

Of course, we are not privy to what went on in the Fantasy Suite, but we can imagine. One thing is certain, Kiptyn and Tenley grew a lot closer.

It was hard not to get upset with Kiptyn for wanting to keep their relationship a secret, but he and Tenley are both going for the $250,000. Couples who have publicly hooked up on the premier season of the Bachelor Pad have paid the price. The other contestants realize that a couple, in the initial stages of love or lust, will be loyal to each other when it is time to vote other's out of the Bachelor Pad. So, the decision, which appeared to be driven by Kiptyn is not a bad one.

It's just nice to see Tenley in the arms of decent man after the heartache and turmoil that she was put through by our least favorite bachelor, Jake Pavelka. Tenley made it to the last two women with Jake. He lead them both to believe that they were the woman for him, then abruptly broke Tenley's heart for Vienna. (A relationship that did not last much longer than Pavelka's stint on Dancing with the Stars.)

Tenley seemed agreeable to the decision to keep their relationship under wraps, and they are not the only couple in the house doing so. Natalie and David have a little relationship going on the side, but David is a strong contender to win everything on the Bachelor Pad. His relationship with Natalie is tentative, while the chance for $250,000 is almost within his grasp. I think he would ditch the relationship with Natalie in a heartbeat to win the money.

In an article on US Magazine's website Tenley confirms that she and Kiptyn did have a relationship during the filming of the Bachelor Pad and are considering moving in together, should the opportunity arise. Could it be that sweet, sweet Tenley has finally found the one?

Currently, Tenley tells US Magazine that the two live about an hour apart and get together as often as possible to share time on the beach and casual, unpreserved time together.

If contestants hook up on the Bachelor Pad does that mean we get a televised wedding?

There are currently a lot of hook-ups, but I honestly doubt many of them will last through the filming, competition, and real life that follows the surreal, sexy world of the Bachelor Pad.
