So... even idiotic fake-dating reality crapfests can't be counted on to fulfill their already unexciting premises?

Yeah, the writers should definitely be shaking in their boots over the prospect of an unscripted programming renaissance.

"Sure I'm sad I won't get to see Brad anymore, but most of all I'm sad because I won't be riding around in this luxurious Lincoln Town Car, provided by the good people at the Ford Motor Company, where quality is job one."

@nick_r: Unfulfilled premises. Such is the nature of love.

My girlfriend called me crying over THIS!? I guess I'll have to choose singledom as well. women.

I had a dream last night that I saw Fidel Castro dressed up in his trademark Cuban military attire lying dead amongst living naked women on a round bed with his eyes open and his arms propped up.

How cool is that?

he didn't choose them because neither of them have a penis.

This is like the time Jeffrey Tambor broke up with me and said it wasn't him, it was me.

and another million copies of He's Just Not That Into You fly off the shelves...

AWESOME! I don't watch this, but I love this guy for taking advantage of the whole thing, and tossing them all aside.

Tre Douche, my good man, Tre Douche....

Not a single one of the couples in this franchise have actually lasted more than a few months. I was quite pleased to read he chose the "none of the above" option. At least he's realistic and can now go out and continue his 15 minutes.

I really don't watch more than a couple of minutes worth of these programs, but I've always been pretty surprised about how invested the characters become in such a short period of time.

Say what you will about Ashton Kutcher, but I've never seen anything from his geek show, where either of the contestants seem like they're saying more than c'est la vie. Perhaps it has something to do with the mismatched pairings, but it is closer to reality.

Sure, this Brad fellow may be set for a parade of willing young women in the near future, but I guess he should be applauded for keeping it real.

CONSPIRACY ALERT:
This is a result of the Writer's Strike. He simply had no more lines.

this backs up my theory that all "Brads" are Douches. Think about it. Know any non-douchey "Brads"?

Couldn't they at least had Toonces drive the Lincoln limo off a cliff at the end, to give this dramaturgical finale at least one iota of levity? Sheesh!

I was angered and outraged. If a multi-million dollar TV network can't pay people enough to even fake that they're in love, what hope is there for the rest of us? Doesn't Brad know that people don't tune into reality TV to see REALITY? Couldn't he just pop a faux proposal to give desperate women watching ABC some hope!?

Why would he choose either of those whiny women to pretend to spend the rest of his life with? He can have a different woman every night. Hell, he could have two or three and men too every night if he were organized. What a stud.

@Bigggnasty: Do you really think he's gay? I don't get that vibe. What makes you think so? Other than he's buffed, polished, and coiffed...

Seriously, who knew that Brad was genius enough to figure out that he could live high on the hog for a few weeks, "date" (bone) a handful of pageant-ready easy ladies, and walk away commitment free!

As Dane Cook says: Always have that one friend you hate and want to ditch when he shows up...Fucking Brad....fucking Brad is coming!

@Cal-Abasas: I would have tuned in for that...

I loved Toonces.

@BGGA: I'm pretty sure Trista and Ryan are still together, I saw her on some magazine cover talking about losing babyweight. Maybe they had contractual obligations because the show paid for the wedding? Or, you know, they're really in love? They both seemed to have a bit of fluff for brains... But Ryan did write some great poetry!

I'm ashamed I know this.

womack owns around 4 bars on the drinkiest street here in austin, so i'm sure he can get all the drunken, nearly jailbait vag he could want.

I watched it last night and couldn't stop laughing at the end after he chose no one. And tonight you can all set your Tivos to watch him on the "After The Final Rose" show, or whatever it's called, when all of the ladies come back to haunt him, including the two he rejected at the end.

Besides, ABC can now take a page out of MTV's book and recycle this guy for another season. "All new women, all new chances, all new romances on the Bachelor 2008."

How do you let a classy broad like that slip away? She waited until he turned his back to hike her dress up on national T.V.

I hear he's banging Penelope Cruz already.

PSYCH-OUT: So after umpteen unneccessary episodes of handing out roses to deluded self-absorbed famewhores, The Bachelor couldn’t even pick one to pretend to be in a relationship with for a little while? I hope the striking writers never come back!

Go Team Brad!

*clap clap*

@TripsyDaily:
Nice! I absolutely LOVED that!

I despise this show!!!!! But that was great. These women are beyond pathetic that they think in 3 weeks you discover the love of your life, while the love of your life locks lips with 10 other bimbos to choose "the one". Serves them right.

Fuck they should get their heads cut off by the bachelor instead of that freaking rose when they get eliminated. Now that I would watch.

@BGGA: Most of the losing Bachelorettes (runner-ups in Bachelor, who then get their own show) are still with their chosen Bachelor.

Trista and Ryan, for example. It's a small blessing that I do not know the names of the others.

The Biggest Loser: Austin

Silly scroll_lock! You know you can't start a foxymorons thread on Defamer!

He's the poor man's Matthew McConaughey (sp?)

So there's a chance he might still choose ME!

Oh, wait -- I'm a guy and I'm not gay. Damn!

Well, I guess there's always hope the loser hot chick in the limo is looking for a rebound. Yes, I'd stoop to that.

@TheQuestion: Brilliant! Let's just put him and New York together in their own series right now and follow them through Europe, a la Flav and Brigitte. (dear god, I know too much about this shit)

@DorothyMantooth: I keep trying...

@G-Lock: Is it because he thinks it will make him closer to Tom Cruise?

He's sadly mistaken...

@Decebal: That would be 'The Bachelor: Saudi Arabia' wouldn't it?

I am ashamed to say I watched this show. Last night's episode with a salty, SALTY couplea girls was so painful.

Why don't you love me? She just didn't get it. HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU. Please try to retain at least some dignity.

Why did you lead me on? Girl, he has to take 2 to the final rose ceremony. He'd probably have dumped you both sooner if he didn't have to keep "dating" 2 into the final week.

And I'm sorry, anyone who truly rarely opens up to people doesn't tell a dude on tv whose face looks like a wedge of parmesean that she loves him in just 6 weeks.

HA HA!!1!!1!

That's a classic!

Still wondering how Brad was given the title' The Sexiest Bachelor yet'. He is not good looking at all and he had Deanna's father fly out to be there, He could have at least dated her if he indeed had any feelings for her. The jerk even bought an engagement ring. Maybe his penis are smaller than his big nose and did not want to it to be known.

Seriously this guy was in it for publicity for his
business and I am sure he got a lot off that, for there are women who will go ot his restaurant and try and get his attention, mostly becaise he is rich and maybe they find him attractive in the very least.
There was one idiot on the 'After the final Rose and she wanted to know that, 'Does this mean Brad is still single?'.

Maybe Brad will end up with Hillary the psycho nurse. They deserve each other.

@rod: You have a good point. My first love was called Brad - he dumped me then moved on to my best friend. He ended up cheating on her with the town slag. Thank goodness he retired his douchebaggery to the wilds of Wales, where the sheep are blonde, fluffy and polyamorous. Baaaa!

@BestFrenemies: I agree....All Brad's are douches!
