DeAnna Pappas

For Jenni Croft, it was not meant to be.

For DeAnna Pappas, it was not meant to be, either.

Brad Womack threw viewers a curveball last night as The Bachelor star did not give a final rose to either of his remaining ladies - Jenni Croft or DeAnna Pappas - during the season finale. His decision left both in tears.

"The fact that he didn't pick either one of us is harder to deal with," said DeAnna Pappas, a 25-year-old realtor and bartender from Neunan, Ga., who was rejected after Brad Womack had sent Jenni Croft packing.

"This is one of the worst feelings in the world... telling someone how you feel about them and they kind of just reject your feelings," Jenni Croft, a 27-year-old Phoenix Suns cheerleader hailing from Wichita, Ks., said. "[That's] the reason why it's so hard for me to tell people how I feel."

Brad Womack sits alone with the final rose, having chosen to dole it out.

After both girls had gone and met Brad Womack's family, Jenni Croft and DeAnna Pappas each had one more chance to impress Brad during a final set of solo dates. Then it was time for the big showdown ... who would it be?

Neither. Brad Womack said that he could see both DeAnna Pappas (left) and Jenni Croft (right) being his wife and found himself in quite a quandary. In the end, he found a unique and historic way out of this jam.

ABC will air a special The Bachelor: After the Final Rose episode in which Brad will explain his move and Jenni Croft and DeAnna Pappas get a shot at some additional answers from Mr. Womack on Tuesday, November 20. Should be hot.

Hopefully Brad Womack gets his ass beaten with a sock full of quarters by both of these vengeful ladies. Now that would be a surprise twist.

Take a look at how last night unfolded, from the family visits to the final rose ceremony, read our comprehensive episode guide to The Bachelor ...

On tonight's finale of The Bachelor, Brad Womack will be bringing home two  women to meet his family. One of which will receive the ... final ... rose.

In one corner, we have 25-year-old Realtor, part-time bartender and full-time Southern gal with a strange and hot name, DeAnna Pappas.

In the other corner, we have 27-year-old Wichita native and Phoenix Suns dancer (and former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader), Jenni Croft.

Will Brad shock the world choose Jenni Croft, with whom he's had obvious  hot chemistry since the beginning, and who, despite her focus on her career which might keep them apart, has worn her heart on her sleeve from the get-go?

Or will he go for DeAnna Pappas, the more demure beauty with whom he seemed to have some initial sparks, and whose terrific family visit seemed to really hit the mark with the wholesome family man Brad Womack?

An NBA dancer like Trista Sutter, Jenni Croft (above) has seen her stock rise from the beginning. She's made it known throughout that she wants to do her own thing in life, not just be the girlfriend of the guy who owns four bars. She has "priorities of her own" - like shakin' that cute butt in front of 20,000 NBA fans 41 times a year. Nonetheless, Brad Womack seems to really dig her.

On the other hand, he seems to adore DeAnna Pappas (above). Deanna has emerged as the clear favorite in the eyes of many viewers, seemingly possessing the whole package our hunk is after. Our guess is that ABC is overselling the chemistry with Jenni Croft and trying to plant some doubt around Deanna Pappas. But we've been wrong before when it comes to The Bachelor.

Who will it be, DeAnna Pappas or Jenni Croft? Only time will tell. Tonight.
