Source: 'Bachelor' Brad Vowed to Propose This Time

By Rob Shuter Posted Jan 4th 2011 06:59AM

The most hated man in 'Bachelor' history, Brad Womack, returned to ABC last night looking for a second chance to find love. Does he find it? He better! Sources tell me that part of his deal with producers to return to the hit dating show was a guarantee that this time he will propose -- something he walked away from last time.

"Everyone knows reality TV isn't very real, however, promising that you will find a wife before you even meet the contestants is a new low," a TV executive tells me. "It makes total sense to bring Brad back for a second chance and it will totally result in huge ratings. I just hope the woman are in on this deal as well."

Brad insisted throughout the first episode and the press interviews leading up to last night's debut that he was "a changed man."

After three years of therapy and self-reflection, he discovered he was a commitment-phobe that tended to push people away before they could hurt him. However, friends of the bachelor tell me Brad's problem isn't a fear of intimacy but rather his love of fame.

"Brad was dying to get back on TV," a friend of the Texas native tells me. "He hasn't done anything since he was the 'Bachelor' and missed the cameras and the attention every single day. Now, he can pretend for America that he is falling in love all over again and in the process make a ton of cash."

This doesn't sound like it can end well to me.

I give Brad credit for being honest in the first show, people just like to hate....should he have proposed to one of those girls knowing that he wasnt going to marry them? just for the sake of the show? that would have been meaner to do. I give him a lot of credit and no one should be hating him..Grow up

By themeeker

I think you need to grow up. He's in it for money and fame and nothing else. If you think otherwise, you are very naive.

By Rich

Some thing is not right and strange with this guy. My observations of body language and eye contact is that He holds his head down WAY too frequently and that is not a good sign. I notice that every time he hugged a lady, he put his head down or looks away. This year's show is probably the worse I've seen. The truth will be told.

If they sincerely wanted to find a match for Brad they wouldn't have lined up all those 24,25,26 yr. olds. Hardly an equal match for a 38 yr. old with ambitions to find a wife and mother of his children. Great sport for an immature player though who knows that even if he proposes, the chance of reaching the altar are slim to none. I don't like the expression in his eyes; he looks like he's hiding something. Just an observation.

I cannot believe he allowed that witch to smack him (she should have been kicked off just for that.) Secondly how many other desperate men would like to be on that show to amke a fool out of themselves? Why a sloppy second, really now, he talks way too much over and over the same words!

Ohhh and if we have to deal with you on the show! A few words of advice stick to "Brooklyn Chicks" besides Vampire ughh(she doesn't count) They'll set you straight although I can't guarantee a smack won't happen :)

Sorry I spelled "make" wrong but I am sure y'all get my point

By mermaid

It is a dumb put-on, god those girls were already fighting for his attention, and the girl with fangs, he deserves to be bitten for good, worst reality show ever................

By monica

he is only addicted to the money the show gives. he also is not straight but is covering up his real sexuality. these women who also go on these shows are also looking for fame and need to also get a life and stop doing these shows to find love and learn how to find it the old fashion way without all the cameras around.

By Connie

Whatever his motives, Brad is a prick! I didn't watch last night nor will I watch this season. I've just about had it with the reality shows with people acting stupid and then claiming they are "celebrities or stars."

By solomeeo

Just listening to him with his baby talk voice, is like fingernails on a chalkboard!

By kjvolpe

I watch for the scenery and travel. None of it is really believable.

By old enough to remember

Who picks the "girls" that appear on the Batchlor shows? Most of these women either look like bimbos, want to further their supposed acting careers, or are looking for a rich guy. No one seems real in these "reality" shows.

By Nancy

I do not think it is fair that they keep bringing back people who have already been on the show. Give someone else a chance.

By michelle

He said that because the serieshas already been filmed, the "Finale" has been shot and edited and he KNOWS he did ask one of them to marry him.... This doesn't happen in real time people.

Regardless, these are all a damn joke and all are "cast" from headshots - NONE are "real people" that they pick.... Paid actors/actresses looking for their 15 Minutes of Fame.

By Angie

Ok when I saw Emily on this show, I know it had to be planned. No one can tell me someone as pretty as she is and I am sure with lots of money would have to go on a show to try to find love. I think Charlotte is a big enough city that she could find love there or even in the Nascar circuit, where she is well known. Even if he did choose her, I don't think it would last. Just have to wait and see.

By Miss Thang

I agree, I doubt this source is any friend. It's probably a friend of a friend of a friend who is jealous. However, I doubt this guy's motives are 100% pristine. I'm not going to sugar coat that. He is likely motivated by money and attention as well. If he finds love then that is just the icing on the cake but I highly doubt he is going to find it.

First the NFL hires a felon and now the only batchelor that ABC can find in the whole world is goofy boring Brad Womack....What kind of world am I living in?
