After last night’s shocking conclusion to the season in which the Bachelor Brad Womack picked neither of the girls, the girls get their chance to grill Brad on his decision or lack there of. The girls aren’t the only ones looking for answers. The fans of the show were shocked at best and outraged at worst.
When Chris spoke with Jenni one on one before Brad came out was not anything surprising. She felt hurt, a little misled, and confused. Although, I hadn’t realized that Jenni didn’t know Brad had sent DeAnna home too until just before this special was taped. Jenni wanted to know why Brad didn’t at least give with the one of the girls even if he wasn’t ready to make a proposal. Basically he should have given them a chance. I have to agree with her. That was a huge mistake on Brad’s part. He still could have had a shot at happiness with one of these girls (probably DeAnna) and he blew it. Dummy. I thought the tribute to Jenni’s grandmother who just passed away was a nice touch.
When it was DeAnna’s turn, it was obvious that she had genuine feelings for Brad. While Jenni shed a few tears, DeAnna was still devastated months later. DeAnna is still angry too. She still thinks about him and that moment every day since he broke her heart. It was interesting to hear that she knew it was going south the second he walked away from her last night. DeAnna admitted that she still feels the same way for him and that she still has hopes for them, and would go out with him if he asked her to. I know the comments are going to come flooding in criticizing her and calling her a fool. Brad made a mistake and he hurt her but it was a mistake. It’s a bad cliche but I’ll say it anyway, the heart wants what the heart wants. I don’t blame her at all. It just shows how much she really does care for him.
It was funny to watch the women in the audience roll their eyes when he said that he was as disappointed as anyone. So why didn’t he at least give her a chance? Brad thought DeAnna deserved better than a guy who couldn’t say he loved her back. Even though he saw every thing he could want in a wife in DeAnna he could not explain why he wasn’t feeling in love with DeAnna. Brad stated that he has not started dating again since being on the show. Big surprise there.
Jenni got to put Brad on the hot seat first. She asked Brad the same question everyone else did. He gave the same cop out answer that taking a chance when he wasn’t sure would make him a big jerk. No Brad, not picking either one makes you a huge jerk. Jenni told him she lost a lot of respect for him when he didn’t at least give DeAnna a chance. Brad still couldn’t give a good explanation. Jenni basically concluded that Brad is scared of that big commitment, which is why he didn’t pick either of them and hadn’t found anyone before he came on the show. I would say good call Jenni.
When DeAnna faced Brad you could tell she was still really upset. DeAnna didn’t hold anything back. She wanted answers and asked the questions we all wanted to hear the answer to like, “Why couldn’t you choose one?” Brads response was that it didn’t have anything to do with not being able to pick one. when Brad said that there just was just something missing. DeAnna said, that she was never able to see that it wasn’t there. He gave her no indication whatsoever that there was something that wasn’t perfect about their relationship. Brad made some excuse about wanting to give their relationship every possible chance. Hmm, still sounds like he lead her on and then got scared and bailed. Then when she asked him why walk away all together? Brad just thinks she is deserving of so much more. She deserves someone who believes in their relationship 100%. Even Chris thought he was copping out because you never going to find that. When Brad said he didn’t believe that. Chrs told him, “Then your looking for an excuse Brad”. I loved that. No one was buying Brads statements that he was just as heart broken as DeAnna was.
I think the worst part was when Brad told DeAnna, “I think about you every day.” DeAnna called him on this saying, “But your still willing to let me walk out of your life.” Brad replied yes. He stands by his decision. DeAnna was right when she said, nothing makes sense. Brad response, “fair enough.” Fair enough? Thats all this guy has to say? I’m not sure what this guy is looking for. He is going to die old and alone if he keeps waiting for this fairy tale romance. DeAnna is as close as anyone ever gets. I felt really bad for DeAnna because not only did she have her hopes up again but she still didn’t get the closure she was looking for.

The reason that Brad was not able to give closure with his statements to DeAnna or the audience, is as plain as the big nose on his face. Brad my friends, is dumb as a post, plain and simple. A comment like “Fair enough”, was a profound revelation for the big dumb Womack. When you own four bars, you’re bound to lose a few brain cells after all.

If it wasn’t for Brad’s incredible looks, physical presence and his “heart-felt” words, most women would be calling him lots of names that are typically labeled for guys like him. Brad’s the best of the best in smooth talkers and players. He’s no dummy. He played the producers of the Bachelor, he played the women and he played the audience. Why? I suspect that before being on the show he had sex a dozen times a week with different women that he meets in his bars. With his appearance on the show, he’ll be able to double that as well as driving so much more business to his bars. If I were his business advisor, I’d recommend that he open another bar, ASAP, called: The Bachelor Pad. He’d triple his earnings before he could say, “I’m sending you home.”

I, actually respect Brad. He made it pretty clear that he had strong feelings for two women and could not choose one because he didn’t feel like he was in love with either. How can you disrespect someone for being honest about their feelings? I think everyone is so shocked and angry that they are just making assumptions and ridiculing him for no reason. He made very valid points last night. Not to mention, I’m sorry, but Deanna is a psycho! After their final dinner and her making the comment, “I hope my way is the right way.” any man would turn and run the other way.

He told her that he will miss her more than she knows and she told him not to say that to her right now.
