Kathy Pomery is right - it's a REALITY show, and Brad choked. It's OK not proposing, but the fatal mistake was to not give one of them the last rose & date her out of the artificial TV show.
I am a bachelor, and I know how hard it is to find someone that is a great match in all areas: emotionally, intellectually, spiritually, and physically. There's lots of great women out there, but to find one that's great FOR YOU is tough.
Brad, I understand the fear, but you choked, Buddy. You should spend time with the one that was closest & see where it goes.
Good thing I didn't watch all season! (So what did Bettina's family say, anyway?)

No offense to the ladies but I really didn't think either one of them was a true match for him. I was a bit surprised that he didn't pick either. When he said goodbye to Jenni I was a bit bummed because I never liked DeAnna but when he said he was saying goodbye to her too I suddenly found a new liking for him. Yes, what he did was not fair and creepy. He definitely led them both on but at the same time if you are not in love with someone why propose to them? Come on people...how long does the show take place in reality? A couple of weeks? How does one really think they can find their true love in that short of time and not really seeing the true side of people. The week before this episode I was seriously thinking this was just a publicity stunt to gain attention to his bars and after last night I am thinking that is true. If that is true it worked...excellent marketing! How many more women are going to be heading toward their bars for a chance to see him and try to be "the one." I th
Disappointed

I was disappointed that he didn't choose one of the women (Jenni) but like "Frog" said, this is tv & he was bound by a contract. I don't think Brad is a jerk at all. He would have been a jerk if he had mislead one of these women when his contract ended. He was upfront with both of them at his earliest opportunity to do so. If indeed he was talking to his ex, how is that any different than him talking to any one of the 25 women that were on the show? Just because their conversations were not aired on national television doesn't mean he's not entitled to them. We need to keep in mind that it is his life to live. Just because he was on national television & given 25 beautiful women to choose from doesn't mean that one of those 25 women was "Mrs Right" for him. Give the guy a break, it was tv!! The women that went on here knew it was tv as well. Just because he didn't choose one of these women doesn't mean he doesn't want to get married. Maybe the woman he wants to marry

What a JERK! and what a waste of how many weeks of my time. ABC you should have pulled this season...I am with Deanna & Jenni, I can not understand how he could lead them on like that...He had us all fooled...maybe he should go into acting instead of the bar business. Bettina's dad had him pegged! I was so crushed for both them... I am betting that he will wimp/coward his way out tonight...

All I can say is WHAT A JERK!! I agree with Deanna in what she said wholeheartedly!! He lead these girls on to the very end and broke their hearts with no remorse. It's like his whole persona changed in the end and he became this heartless man. They deserve better and they will find better...it wont be hard to do that's for sure!

Well - this is called a REALITY show. Reality is, some men quite simply prefer being bachelors, being able to continue their thrill of the hunt. How fine that Brad realized this about himself, before commiting holy matrimony. It would appear Bettina's erudite family was spot-on about Bachelor Brad.

I just saw on the ABC website that someone said that he will propose tonight. What does everyone think. They are saying that if you go back and watch it and see him crying that he got cold feet. I don't think this will happen and don't understand why either girl would say yes now. I think if he got cold feet then he would say it. He had no good reason last night for what he did. I will watch tonight just to see if he speaks to why, but I don't think I will ever watch this show again.

I think he is going to say he chose neither Deanna or Jenni BECAUSE he realized Sheena is the one for him. Wouldn't that be a twist?

I had no words after last nights fiasco. I feel like so many others that it was all a waste of time watching this whole season. I did like Brad and his family. I would like to hear what his mother thinks now. He was so insincere. There is no way that he felt what he said he did. To do that to those two wonderful women was shameful. Just fess up Brad. Why couldn't you have told them that you couldn't choose and that you needed time. Like others have said I think he is a jerk and just wanted to have a good time with all these women. Talk about a user and a loser. I will never watch this show again unless ABC puts out some type of statement that this type of thing will not happen to two nice girls like Jenni and DeAnna. Shame on you Brad Womack

I think that was the worse possible ending. He hurt those two girls and toyed with their emotions. I am so disappointed in his decision. So much for his sincerity.

WOW.... Thats all I can say. WOW... I did not see this coming. I have watched faithfully like so many others thnking that this Bachelor was completely sincere about the feelings he was bestowing upon both of these girls. Honestly, I think Brad was looking for the spot light. I think he was never out to actually find the right women but get face time for his business. Good job Brad. I hope you have a wonderful life alone with your BAR. Its just too bad you had to hurt so many women in the mean time. This was the first Bachelor show that I have seen with some women actually being themselves. ABC - you just lost another loyal viewer. KUDOS.

He did the right thing, who cares what the women think. If he did not want either, he should not be forced to accept one because of the show.

What a JERK! I'm thinking worse things than "jerk" in my head, but I'll leave it at that. I cannot believe the way he lead these two girls on. Many Bachelors in the past have not proposed but have continued to date one girl to "see what happens". He didn't even want to date either of these girls? They WHY did he lead them both on saying he could see them as his wife, etc, etc...This is just wrong on so many levels! I wonder if Jenni thought this whole time he picked DeAnna? The whole thing was weird and confusing. I've never been a fan of Brad's this season...I'm just glad my favorite(Bettina) didn't get have to deal with this lame finale. I hope DeAnna and Jenni really give it to him good tonight because I think they both let him off the hook too easily last night.

I feel I was had. I thought this guy was sincere. Baloney. I think the whole thing with Deanna was for show, and that it was meanspirited to make her think he had chosen her and then pick neither. Shame on Brad.
