Brad is suck a jerk still in my book!?!
Question: My GOSH! he was just too good to be true. I know he, obviously, didn't LOVE neither...but he couldn't just stick around for tv sakes/their sakes and date one and see how it goes w/o camera crew around?
Seriously, though... he won't find a better girl. He had 25 options!
I really dislike guys like him. He's just a narcisstic playboy and now I'm turned off and venting too much..but I just can't believe it!
Agree or Disagree? Let me know what you think :o)

I think he is a complete jerk. He strung both girls along all season. Telling them how much he cared about them. I feel so sorry for Deanna because he kept telling her how wonderful she is and how lucky he was to find her. If she was so great and he cared so much about her how could he let her go? I understand he wasn't ready to make the commintment of marriage. But he could have gave the relationship a chance not just let her walk away. They could have just dated and see where it went. Then he broke her heart all over again tonight. That's just a complete jerk for ya. Then he had the nerve to tell her that he missed her so much. If he missed her and cared about her so much he wouldn't have let her walk away again. I think he is full of ****. All he has going for his is his looks . Which aren't that great in the first place. Hope he ends up alone.
Whoa Sarah who is Brad?!!?
AGREE!! I was sort of appauled tonight because it seemed like he was trying to get sympathy, or maybe that's just the way I took it. But to say "I was just as heart broken as you..." THAT'S CRAP! Those girls are beautiful and amazing...I'm dissapointed that he just wasted a season of a great show. Not to mention breaking two wonderful ladies' hearts...how rude. I don't know about you all, but I didn't get anything out of The Bachelor After The Last Rose. Too bad...poor Deanna too, I felt horrible for her :'(
I agree with you! Jenni said it right when she said that he just expected love to come sliding out from under the bed, not realizing that you find someone you really enjoy being around and then have to work at falling in love. He could have been happy with either of them. Like "When Harry Met Sally." It takes a while sometime to realize that the person you like being around is actually the person you love.
I agree. I think he is an insensitive jerk.
Disagree ... I don't think he's a jerk. I think he's strongly independent and he has very high standards for love. She has to be the RIGHT girl, in his eyes. He did the right thing by saying goodbye to both of them, if he did not see a future with either one. I think he made a mistake by leading them on prior to the final rose. I am sure it was pretty hard not to get sucked in with the cameras, beautiful setting, and carefree existence! In addition maybe he felt pressured to get more involved given he was being taped for a tv show. He's the star, and he has to produce. It was really hard for him, but he righted it in the end. He did the right thing.
So how did those other Bachelor 'engagements' work out?
Maybe he's just smart enough to realize that the show is a crock. Of what, I'm not sure.
I think he was just being honest with himself. He just didn't feel right about it.. Isn't that better than leading a girl on for a while, then ending it after they've dated for a while?
And about having the successful bachelor and bachelorette on, it was nice, but the record sure isn't that great. 2/10 seasons? or whatever it is. The guy that I hated the most was the Navy Doctor who picked that really cute girl. She got the axe and he started dating some Indian Princess (from India).
Brad is a total JERK! I hope he doesn't get a date, a look or even a glance from any woman for a long, long time. He did seem like he was trying to get sympathy tongiht. He was just so careless and calous to both girls tonight. I have no respect for him. Imagine how his poor mother must feel? I can't even think of it. Ugh! What a jerk!
Why call a guy a jerk for following his heart. Didn't you guys hear his mother say that with him there is no gray areas, only black or white-----yes or no---nothing in between.
Only 2 or 3 of all the other Bachlor and Bachlorettes are still together.
I think he was honestly looking for love and didn't find it. Like he said he tried to make himself make it work but it just didn't.
He had to be true to himself or he would never be able to be true to anyone else. I give him a lot of credit for what he did.
I really believe that he is really hurt too.
My heart went out to DeAnna & Jenni, esp. DeAnna. I know she's in pain, but it would have been worse if he'd led her on further.
My perspective is different from most I’ve read, because I completely understood his behavior last night, so I was watching for confirmation that he & I were on the same page & not an explanation.
Maybe Brad & I think alike or have had similar past experiences that impact our viewpoint of this situation. Let me explain...Once I was dating a guy & thought everything was going well, until the night that he told me that he'd been dating my "best friend" for the past week. The thing is if they had told me that they wanted to date, I would have been hurt, but I would have gotten over it & it would have been easier to deal with. Because what happened was that I spent another week allowing my feelings for him to grow, & then got my heart broken anyway & lost a friend to boot! My point is that if you KNOW it's not going to work out it's not fair to the other person to continue to date them. Actually, it's more than unfair...it's mean, selfish, & sadistic. It's NEVER easy to hurt someone you care for & knowing the blowback he would receive, I applaud Brad for his forthrightness.
Brad Womack didn't fall in love, so he chose to walk away from both Jenni & DeAnna.
No, I don't think he's a jerk. I think he was honest. I think he would have been a jerk IF he HAD lied to one of them & proposed or continued to "date" one of them under false pretenses! I think he was in this to fall hopelessly in love with one woman & unfortunately that didn't happen. I think the words he was struggling to find for DeAnna's answer was that he "loved her, but didn't fall 'in love' with her".
I'm almost at as much of a loss for words as Brad...I really don’t understand everyone berating him for being honest about his feelings. Would everyone have preferred that he lied to one of the girls & us & himself for that matter? You can care for someone or even love them without being in love with them & I think that’s the situation that Brad found himself in. There’s a song that says, “You can lead a heart to love, but you can’t make it fall.” I think Brad made a valiant effort, but just couldn’t make himself fall in love.
I have a lot of respect for Brad to have not allowed himself to be pressured into a relationship. Where did we get the idea that a bunch of TV producers could select 25 people & that one of them HAD to be the PERFECT person for you?!?! That's nuts & that pressure is why most of "The Bachelor" relationships have failed.
I know those girls were hurt, but it would have hurt them A LOT more if he had chosen one of them to save face & then dumped them. Then everyone would have called him a jerk for leading them on. Give him some credit for realizing that this was going too far!
What made me so mad is that he kept telling DeAnna that he thought about her everyday, but he couldn't give her a straight answer as to why he would let her walk out of his life!!! Frustrated the crap out of me!! I wanted to reach in the TV and slap him!!! Don't tell someone that you think about them everyday, but oh I don't ever want to see you again!! GEEEZ that is NOT what a woman wants to hear!!! And did you notice that he whispered to DeAnna as she said goodbye that he misses her more than she will ever know and she was like don't say that to me right now! Good for her!! I really liked Brad and after the show I thought crap, he is a jerk! I was really hoping after the show last night that he would change my mind, but NOPE, still a JERK!!! I hope I run into him in Austin so I can tell him what I think!
