Brad Womack – Bachelor for Life!

Brad WomackBrad WomackSome people are just incapable of love - that's the only realistic explanation as to why Brad Womack, ABC's star of The Bachelor, couldn't find romance after being handed 25 beautiful women.

Fans of the show were left stunned after Monday night's finale when Brad sent both of the final two women packing. And while ABC tried their best to backpedal out of a PR nightmare, last night's "after the rose ceremony" episode only left viewers more confused.

After watching the finale, I'm sure most of you (like myself) were somewhat relieved that there were plans for a follow-up episode the next night. Well, as disappointing as it was, Brad, left both women in tears once again.

I think the best thing to do at this point in time is to recognize the whole season as a big mistake on ABC's end - casting a bachelor who was clearly not open to the possibility of falling in love.

Not marrying one of the final two women is completely acceptable. But to look both of women in the eye and tell them that you've found everything you want in a wife and then not even want to date them after the show?  I mean, that's a little ridiculous.

We all thought it was funny when Brad tried playing the friend card with Hillary. Little did we know, he'd end up doing it to all of the women?

 The only way for ABC to recover from this one is to make Jenni or DeAnna the next bachelorette. And if you want to see it happen, sign our petition. If ABC really cares about the fans, they'll listen to what we have to say.

Why do you think Brad sent both women home?

The guys got problems,and its hard to put a finger on it.He's either afraid,in a relationship already,likes someone else paying for his dates,or may not like girls.I dont know what to say other than the girls he didnt pick really are the lucky ones.Brad has acts like aman of his word but hes not in my opinnion.Hes hiding something.

he sent them home because his main reason for being there was publicity for himself. No, I do not expect him to fall in love, but don't play games with people. Speak honestly. He basically begged for them to say they love him and then getting a straight answer from him was like pulling teeth.

Why all the fuss? So Brad didn't fall in love, figured it out and didn't settle. Good for him. The other Bachelors obviously didn't find love either but still did what was "expected" and then did the dump. Also, wasn't there a Bachelorette that almost did the same exact thing? As far as Jenni or DeAnna being the next Bachelorette, I really don't want to see them back on TV again. I would think one of the lessons of this show would be that it is not the greatest way to find Mr. Right.

That's perfectly fine if he didn't fall for either of them, I just think he should have just said it "sorry, you're just not my type"!! Why couldn't he just say it instead of saying the copout crap he said... which was no explanation at all. He just should have been honest and told them why. I think everyone would have felt better about how it ended. I think he's a real creep for not being honest with them.

I think he's secretly gay and finally accepted it after not being able to click with any of these women.

I think Brad sent both woman home because he thought that they could do better than him. Obviously he felt he could not live up to their standards, and if the love connection is not there, then I do not see the point in dating. As for myself, I have been going out with my boyfriend for almost 2 years now, and if I had no plans to be with him in the future, why carry on a relationship? It sounds stupid, but Brad is the guy who will know who the right girl is when he finds her. Looks are not everything. And Jenni and DeAnna were wonderful women, but obviously Brad was lacking the romance department and love connection with them. He may have thought they had all the qualities of a good wife, but his opinion needs to be voiced as well. And no one can be in the favour of the women all the time, because it takes two to have a relationship. If there is only one in it then that is wrong.

I have lost respect for Brad. I think he is a very insecure person who probably did not feel (and rightly so) that he was good enough for either of these women. What a disappointment. Even Chris Harrison could not disguise his disgust with Brad's lame answers and so-called explanations. Chris Harrison rocked the house in the "After The Final Rose" show.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM..HOW CAN YOU LOOSE RESPECT FOR SOMEONE YOU DON'T KNOW. A MAN LOOKING LIKE THAT CANNOT BE TIED DOWN TO ONE WOMAN. SO BRAD GO ON WITH YOUR BAD SELF..AND DATE EVERY WOMAN IN AUSTIN, TX.. I SUPPORT YOU AND YOUR DECISION. AND I AM SURE EVERY ONE IN AUSTIN, TX AND DOWN ON 6TH STREET IS HAPPY AS I AM..

No, I think he thought he could do better then them. I think he's looking for the perfect woman packaged as the trophy barbie doll type. I think his idea of love is screwed up.

Yes, there was a bachelorette that did the same thing, and she got a lot of hell for it. So, I don't think there is any special treatment for the bachelor. I admire him for not going through with something he felt would not work out in the long run. However, he should not have taken it that far, before breaking the girls hearts. Just saw an interview he made a month after the show ended, and he was in great spirits. Not like he should show anything different. Irregardless, he was talking in riddles at last nights show. He did not answer any of Deanna's questions, and she left still without any sense of closure. I am sad for the ladies, and dislike the methods used to break it off. Not like my opinion matters, but, I thought, what the hell...just say it here.

Brad Womack is the best impression of Scott Peterson that I have ever seen. I'm not just saying that to be rude I'm serious. The feelingless look in his eyes and the clearly pre-planned mental script during the after rose show reminded me so much of a typical sociopath. Those two women really need to try and not take this guy personally. The only time I saw him light up at all was when the women were crying over him. I think he honestly fantasizes about their pain over him...it's creepy. And my guess is he probably has a very overbearing parent (likely mother). If you don't beleive me here is the profile of a sociopath: Profile of the Sociopath This website summarizes some of the common features of descriptions of the behavior of sociopaths. Glibness and Superficial Charm Manipulative and Conning They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims. Grandiose Sense of Self Feels entitled to certain things as "their right." Pathological Lying Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests. Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way. Shallow Emotions When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises. Incapacity for Love Need for Stimulation Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common. Callousness/Lack of Empathy Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them. Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others. Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc. Irresponsibility/Unreliability Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed. Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts. Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively. Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Business should really pick up for Brad, after all that seems to be a great way to advertise. I didn't expect a proposal, but to walk away and never see someone again...come on! The ladies will be lining up at the Texas bars now!!!!

I can't believe all the really bad armchair psychoanalysis going on here. So Brad didn't meet "the one." So what. Yes, there were 25 to choose from but obviously the right one wasn't in the group. Or maybe she was, but people, this is a tv show!! It would be very difficult to fall in love when you have limited one-on-one time and a camera in your face every minute. Anyone signing up to do such a show has to know up front that the primary purpose of the show is not to make them feel good but to attract viewers - and the more drama and surprises that come along, the better the show will fare. It's a competition, not a group hug. Quite frankly, I wonder how some of these girls fall so hard so fast when they have spent so little time with him. Give the guy a break! It's all about the entertainment factor - isn't that why you watched the show??

I don't think I could have said it better myself. This is a show and though it is called a "reality" show it is the farthest thing from reality that can exist. Brad was strong enough to follow his heart and his gut feelings in choosing to say goodbye to both women. In today's society we expect everything to happen in the blink of an eye, maybe this is the reason we have such a high divorce rate. People do things just because everybody else is doing it and not because it is right for them. But Brad chose to do what was right for him and not anybody else. He shouldn't be ridiculed because of not choosing the happily ever after ending that he is supposed to choose because he is on a t.v. show. If in the beginning Brad would have said he had no connections with anyone where would it have left the show??? Did he really then have a choice to say anything earlier then he did?? I don't think so.

Renee: I call em' as I see em...could have been a donut commercial that I saw him on and if I got the same impression I I would have said the same thing...you commenting that people's impressions of him are bad psychoanalysis is a weak accusation because you're automatically assuming that I even care about the show or the ending of the show.

He should not have gone on this program. I think most of the bachelor's have been narcissists/exhibitionists. I don't have an issue with the fact that Brad didn't fall in love, in my opinion. With a pool of only 25 women and six weeks, it is plausible that an individual wouldn't be able to form a lifelong emotional attachment. As we get older, we become more cautious with our feelings. My gripe is with Brad's handling of the outcome. Telling DeAnna she is everything I am looking for in a wife, mother etc. then Goodbye WHAT? It was obvious he was less concerned with the emotional aftermath that Jenni and DeAnna would experience, than his desire to surgically extricate himself from a situation that threatened his bachelor status. My advice for the producers of this show is they need to conduct a psychological screening of the bachelor BEFOREHAND...and in Brad's case - as a public service - they should pay for his needed therapy in hopes that he will not continue to perpetuate this behavior on other women in the future.

I believe he must have lingering feelings for a past love and realized he would never have a chance with her if he chose someone else (even to keep dating). He may have dumped someone in the past and really decided he wanted them back; so, as much as he really "liked" both women, he decided to have hope for someone in his past....??? I believe all 3 of them are nice people - too bad for each of them.

I honestly whole heartedly believe his mom didn't want him to marry Jennin or DeAnna. Brad seemed like a mama's boy. His mom is odd.

I am really saddened by this show. I can understand Brad not picking a soulmate, but what I cant understand is making these two women proclaim their love then dumping them like it was no big deal. Brad has serious issues and its not like he did not know he was going to reject both women after begging for their commitment. You girls are soooooooo much better off without this jerk.
Sue (not verified)
Can we give this guy a break? He didnt fall in Love at least he recognized it and didnt move forward. He said when he was picking out the ring he had a gut feeling that it wasnt right...I think he was right to listen to his gut. MAybe if more people did then the divorce rate wouldnt be so high??

I think this whole seanson was a publicity stunt by Brad and his brothers to get thier bars names out there. Now the whole damn country knows what they own in Austin and will go in just to see what's what and how's there. Bullshit makes money now don't it.

I THINK IF BRAD DOESN'T WANT TO BE MORE HONEST THEN WE AS FANS NEED TO FORCE ABC HANDS AND MAKE ABC GIVE BRAD OTHER TV INTERVIEW SO WE AS FAN OF THE SHOW CAN MOVE ON WITH OUR LIVES.
