Brad Womack Faces America, Two Ladies He Rejected
The Hollywood Gossip has been blowing up with people weighing in on Brad Womack and his shocking no-decision on the season finale of The Bachelor.
Last night, Brad faced the music in the form of both Jenni Croft and DeAnna Pappas, as well as all of America, to answer questions on his inactions.
Despite feeling "misled" by Brad Womack, Jenni Croft said she's disappointed in how Womack did the same to DeAnna Pappas, especially giving her a ray of hope just as he dropped the "but" and broker her heart. Nice one, Brad.
Jenni Croft says Brad should have given someone a chance, even in the form of dating. DeAnna Pappas still seems confused, angry... and into Womack.
Brad Womack then arrives to a mix of applause and boos. He says that he made his decision because he didn't want to make false promises to the girls.
Neither Jenni Croft (left) or DeAnna Pappas did it for Brad Womack.
We learn that Brad actually asked the network fly DeAnna Pappas' father out for the final ceremony, so Brad could ask for her hand in marriage - but his gut told him something was wrong when he went to buy the ring!
Jenni Croft rips Brad Womack for not at least giving either woman a chance and he says it "hurts deeply" to have Jenni lose respect for him.
Brad says to DeAnna that he thinks about her every single day, and it sounds like maybe he might be going to throw us for yet another loop by taking her back!
DeAnna hints that she would accept such a chance... and Womack replies that he's "very confident" in his decision, crushing her once again.
DeAnna Pappas can't hold back and cries to Womack, telling him that "[You're] the one person that I trusted most out of all of this, and you broke my heart."
Brad Womack's response: "I thought I was taking the high road." But was he?

Brad is a Big Time Loser in my book! He could of had Jenni or DiAnna and he brokw their hearts. He shoudl of NEVER been in the show if he didn't want to get marry. Like Jenni said he could of dated for a while and see how it would go. I felt so bad for DiAnna. She really love Brad and he is a loser in my book and I would of boo him and if I was Jenni i would of told him don't touch me when he try to touch her hand, Brad go back to your bar and pick up a slut then. You are a loser!

Brad is such a loser. He needs to move to NYC and go to Woodie Allen's shrink for the next 40 years and live with some gay hairdresser that will whip into shape.

How is he a loser? If he didn't feel anything and/or knew it was wrong i.e. felt wrong to him...how is he a loser by walking away instead of continuing to lead them on? I think his decision was big, no matter much you don't understand it. You are all just pissed because you want this big romantic, fairy tale ending and you didn't get that. Heartbreak is real life, people break up every day, how is this any different than a normal break up?

I think it was very noble of him not to pick one of the girls if he felt so strongly for both of them. He went up there in front of thousands of viewers and risked pissing off all of us to give both girls the opportunity to find their "one" that has love only for them. This is what Lorenzo should've done instead of picking one and then going, "oops, my bad" and then trying to make it work with the one he rejected. I too felt like I wasted my Monday nights watching this season until I actually thought about it. Way to go Brad for "taking the high road" even with the risk of pissing off thousands of viewers across the country instead of "settling" into a relationship that you were not feeling 100% right in.

I can understand Brad not being in love with the girls and not proposing, but why won't he date DeAnna without a proposal to see how things work out? Or is he struggling with something deeper?
November 21st, 2007 9:55 AM
Brad was in the hot seat and he left the girls still without satisfactory explaination for the rejections. I believe he is not sure what happened. Obviously, there is a committment issue here, and Brad needs to address that before getting involved with anyone. All of this made for lots of discussion/gossip. Actually, I think ABC needs to give this Bachelor series a rest it is getting old, and come up with something else. It is rare that a relationship could survive this staged situation. Of course as was seen last night with the 2 couples on the show there are exceptions to the rule.

My wife loves the show so I started watching a little. What this guy did was wrong I think he was a complete ass for diong that to those girls.
He says he can look anyone in the audience in the eyes and tell them soemthing well that is what he did the whole shoe lied to these girls.
As far as I concerned he is a loser and one of them should of stepped up and told him so.
November 21st, 2007 10:38 AM
Seriously folks ... this is a TV show ... did anyone ever stop to think that just maybe half way through the whole process, Brad just figured this wasn't his thing and he wasn't finding what he was looking for? What was he supposed to do ... tell the producers ... sorry, I quit? If he wasn't feeling what he needed to feel then HE DID THE RIGHT THING!
November 21st, 2007 11:07 AM
I think Brad Womack is a loser and should not be in the Bachelor at the first place. He played all the girls feelings and reject them in the end. He shouldnt carry on with the Bachelor and drag those 2 girls to end of the series and give them hope that one of them will be chosen. He is just playing their minds and feelings which is not right. He should have stop being in the Bachelor if he don't have confident of choosing any girl. He is such a jerk and that makes him so low class.
November 21st, 2007 11:10 AM
I think Brad should tell the producer of the Bachelor that "I quit" ...I can't choose any of the girls instead of continue hurting their feelings till very end which is so wrong. ITs better to quit earlier than everyone get hurts....That is so so wrong...I would say its a emotional abuse.

Talk about being confused!!!!!!
November 21st, 2007 11:34 AM
I think that Brad just freaked out - I believe that he does have issues, mainly commitment. He choked. Neither girl deserved what happened to them, especially DeAnna - he did it again last night - set her up and crushed her again. Brad you have made yourself nothing but wary to many single woman - i would expect that any intelligent female would be very wary at opening their heart to you again - DeAnna and Jenna - he did you both a favor - you cannot began a relationship with a man who obviously enjoys the single life and has no intentions in settling down - good publicity for your bars Brad and you.

Hey, if the sparks aren't there, then they're not there! This show doesn't guarantee anyone that they'll find the man (woman) of their dreams. If you want guarantees, go buy something at Wal-mart or Best Buy. Face it, we all take that risks of heartbreak. I still feel for those two ladies but in the long run he might have done them both a favor by not picking either one.

Bottom line is he played a game with "real" people and their feelings. He led them on. He hurt them maliciously with never an intention to seeing this through. He had it specifically placed in his contract that he did not have to choose either one. He got ALOT and I mean ALOT of FREE advertising for his bars. Did anyone see his body language when he stated he was hurting over this too? Did anyone listen to him when he commented on the ring. He never had any intention of hooking up with anyone, he got alot of free publicity, and was doted on by these women. He knew exactly what he was doing. It doesn't take a blind man to figure out that he is a piece of garbage! Jenni and Deanna are fortunate they didn't hook up with this coward. To bad they put their feelings out there tho for him to trample on first.

I am upset about this season of the bachelor.
I think that ABC is more at fault than Brad himself. I feel sure that they pressured him to the end to make this a "watchable" show. I do, however, think he knew he wasn't "into" either one of them- he should have never had Deanna's father flown in- he should have never give her false hope. I've heard rumors about him still being hung up on his ex- I think that is probably the case and he should not have gone on this show. ABC should not have aired it. For those of us that were still fans of the show, we should have seen that final rose given out. We dont have high expectations of seeing an actual marriage, but we WANTED that final rose!!!
November 21st, 2007 12:17 PM
Well whaddayaknow? I nearly fell off the couch Monday night! Whaaaaaaaaat? At first I thought Brad was so choked he could not get the words out in proposing to Deanna. Talk about "I knew from the first time I saw, and spoke to you, that you could be the one". We both want the same thing in ref to marriage only once. He really built that girl up for a huge letdown. I actually felt sorry for her. Jenny will be ok, She will go and dance for the Phoenix Sun's.
The father, of the one girl that was married before, was hateful in the "meet the parents" episode, BUT, in final analysis, had this boy down pat!

Womak is a classic narcissist. He is in love only with himself. He cares only about his own felings, nobody else. He used all these women as a mirros to tell him how great he was, then rejected them. He is emotionally stiff--you never saw hime laugh out loud. The women bared their souls, he never really said anything. Can you say--asshole? I'm a guy, and he gives us a bad name,
November 21st, 2007 12:51 PM
I feel sorry for the girls that being played and rejected by Brad. On the other hand I think all the girls deserve better man than Brad who is a womanizer and no responsible of what he has done....playing women feelings and mind games. This Bachelor season made me lose interest of that show that created uneasy feeling and confident to all the women to join the next Bachelor...Girls...remember we need to keep our good name and pride instead of being played by man in Bachelor...Get real..woman can find better man in real life than in Bachelor show..I'm sure many people lose interest of watching Bachelor from now

Mixed feeling about this. If Brad didn't feel that he was ready to make a long term commitment after knowing them for just 8 weeks, then more power to him. However, why did he say the things he said to both of the girls? Even when DeAnna was leaving he AGAIN said he would be thinking about her. I think that this is VERY mis-leading to her if he really is not into her.
November 21st, 2007 1:22 PM
He absolutely did the right thing. Love IS a reality. If he did not feel right about moving forward with a real life commitment, then he should not. All the other bachelors are *sses. They strung people along, unlike Brad. The others ended up hurting their selected girl and made a news story for all the magazines. Nice honesty Brad. Way to follow your heart.
November 21st, 2007 1:38 PM
I never watch these types of shows but my husband and i tuned in this season because the two finalists were nice looking women (according to my husband) Brad knew what he was getting into and he did the show and all of the women a dis-service by agreeing to go on. What a joke. I wish these women understood that he did them a favor. Another, emotionally unstable and dis-functional man. Probably has erectile disfunction and likes men. He is blue collar, not that attractive and there is a whole group of women in my San Francisco office who would touch him with a ten foot pole. I hate to call a spade a spade, but this guy is a LOSER
November 21st, 2007 1:39 PM
Brad is emotionally stunted and stiff. What 34 year-old man asks his momma who he should pick? He is a shallow party boy masquerading as a senstive lunk. I hated the dad who told him basically that he was stupid. But now I think he was right!!!
November 21st, 2007 3:40 PM
What a waste...i mean i give him credit for not choosing one of them for tv purposes BUT how can you tell someone that they posess all the qualities you are looking for and then tell them you're not in love with them...ive been there and it is soo hard to love someone who just doesnt love you back..in my opinion (which we are all entitled to), he was a looser, the girls are better off without them, no other woman will look at him with trust or respect ever again....giving him any more publicity is insulting to the girls he dissed on prime time tv with an audience of millions....I WILL NOT EVER WATCH ANOTHER SEASON OF THE BACHELOR AGAIN and not just because of what happened this season, because its horrible to put soo many women through that to get crushed...for anyone who has ever had their hopes and heart crushed, we all know how that feels and should show compassion for the girls and not ounce for Him!!! Reality TV sucks, theres nothing worth watching on tv anymore!!!!
November 21st, 2007 4:09 PM
Most people do not have a problem with the fact that Brad chose neither of the final 2 girls. That fact, we can accept. What I have a problem with is HOW he did it...cold, cruel and without empathy. He indeed has some deep seeded issues regarding relationships that need some professional work done on them pronto.
November 21st, 2007 4:41 PM
He did the right thing. People need to quit being pissed because there wasn't a fairy tale ending. It's a television show, after all. He couldn't pick between them, so he did the honorable thing and let them both go. He didn't do what the other Bachelors did- make any decision for tv.
Get over it. He's an honorable man who did the right thing. His word is his word.
