The Bachelor

[llghoney]

I thought it was sweet what Jenni did with her hournal & all. It was her true feelings. Deanna I felt it was a competiton for her. Oh, well I was soo hoping he was gonna call Jenni back because he realized what great person she is.

When is the final episode going to air?

 

[Jenster]

It's at 10 p.m. tonight! (Tuesday)

 

[llghoney]

Thanks! My H told me earlier thank goodness, so I got to watch! And he says he doesn't like these shows, yeah right, LOL

But very very interesting for sure! And a few awwww moments without giving what was said or who was there away, lol

 

[Jenster]

OK, I ended up catching most of it after all. (Can't keep me away from the tube! )

So Brad said a few times that he knows he has issues. Do you think he's sincere in saying that? Now, throughout the whole show I thought he was the most sincere guy. I liked how he encouraged the women to be who they are. But now I'm not so sure, because instead of answering questions, he kept saying "my heart's been broken too" and "you think I'm playing the sympathy card but I'm not." HUH?

Then he says he knows he has issues AND that he is confident that his lack of butterflies-in-the-stomach indicates he wasn't in love.

That's a contradiction. If you aren't in love, then you aren't in love. It's no indication that you have issues.

I wonder if he's afraid of failure.

I was really suprised that he rejected both of them, but I actually respect him for that. It shows that he really was trying to find true love, not just a woman to marry or to be on TV. Sure, it takes guts to get down on your knees and propose to a woman, but it takes even more to be that honest and walk away.

As for him having "problems", I don't think he has actual problems, I think he's just really confused. That kind of situation is enough to screw anybody up pretty badly. Plus, you really need more time with somebody before you can decide if you truely love somebody want want to marry them and spend the rest of your life with them....6 weeks is completely unrealistic. What he said last night actually made sense to me because I've felt that way about somebody before....You really do love them, but it's not the kind of love that makes you want to spend the rest of your life with them in marraige. You wish it could work out because you care about that person so much, but you know it won't.....And that would break anybodys heart.

last nights show was so weird but i think he is a genuine guy.

 

[RedTulipMom]

After watching "after the Rose" i think that Brad just didnt LOVE either of them, though he cared about them both alot. I think he didn't feel what he expected to feel. I think he is being genuine in what he is saying. I felt sorry for him when Deanna was up there..basically i think she was trying to strong arm him into dating her and it was uncomfortable and probably helped him realize even more why he wasnt with her. She kept saying she didnt understand..well why didnt she LISTEN to what he was saying...he very distinctly said he didnt fall in love with either of the women! Both women last night said they didnt know if they believed him, lost respect for him, why couldnt he just pick one? etc..dont they get it..he doesnt want to marry either of them..just because he went on a show and met 25 women does NOT mean that automatically..his WIFE was one of those 25...Its kinda silly really...to think that he HAD to fall in love and he HAD to propose at the end of 6 weeks..or else he is just a big JERK! he was being genuine. Would they rather have got a proposal and then a month later he tell them Goodbye?? I am glad he picked neither one, they showed their true character last night..especially Deanna!

Good point, but then again,do u remember when he was discussing signs with Sheena's parents? Zodiac signs in that episode, and when they were all on the boat, Sheena said she was an Aries and Brad said he was a Scorpio and Sheena's dad said he was also an Aries.
I thought it might had something to do, also with the fact that he is a Scorpio male. Now I figure that many of u on this forum may not believe in Astrology, but I do and I was hurt by a Scorpio dude in HS, who I thought liked me back. To this day I can barely trust Scorpio dudes.
Hopefully, that ain't the case with Brad Womack.
And Scorpio males also like a lotta women at one time. I think they can easily get confused, as in Brad's case. He seemed VERY confused at the end. What an interesting and yet disappointing ending to Bachelor.

I really don't know what to think about the ending and then After the Final Rose. I'm glad that he didn't choose either one because he's obviously a little nuts. I really liked both ladies for different reasons, but I knew that he was going to choose Deanna (which he would have). I felt sooo bad for her. I don't think "she showed her true colors" if anything he did. I thought he sounded like a goober and it turns out that he is.
I'm ashamed he's from Austin!
They're better off without him!

It wasn't an all or nothing situation. Brad could have continued a relationship with one of the ladies without proposing. It happened on one of the previous seasons. I think that is why Diona was so confused. He told her several times that she had everything he wanted, but he wasn't willing to persue a relationship to see if it would develop into more. Not very many people date for 6 wks and then know, without a doubt, that they want to get married. There was obviously some other factor that Brad is not willing to share. I'd be mad and confused if I were Diona.

 

[Jenster]

I remember he said that he didn't feel butterflies in his stomach. I wonder about that. I wonder if that is reasonable, or if he was expecting to be infatuated when he already had "love"?

I also wonder what for him would cause the butterflies? Clearly the women were beautiful, and it SEEMED like he had fun with each one of them. With Jenni he said something was missing. But with Deanna he didn't say that, did he? He just said he didn't fall in love with her. Hm...

I didn't want to watch Grey's Anatomy at 10 pm (AST) so I was checking the TV listings to make sure it's on at 11 pm, and it is... and at 10 pm The Bachelor After the Final Rose is on! I wouldn't have known!

 

[California Dreamin']

Alright so the TV listings were wrong? I'm going to watch October Road.

Well is there something wrong with the fact that he didn't fall in love with either one of them?

It's hard to find the right person. It was better for him to be honest and send both girls home than it would have been if he chose to marry Deanna despite his gut telling him it wasn't right.

 

[keeptrying]

He may have known from the first week that none of these girls were wife material for him but on a show like this you can't tell them. I would be curious to know what exactly the rules are. They can be sued for millions if they reveal things they are not allowed to because there would be no surprise finale. It just makes me wonder.

Unless of course he took advantage of the "fantasy suit" situation and in that case he is a low down piece of scum that crawled out from under a slimy rock.
