thinking about THE BACHELOR, BRAD WOMACK

[reallyME]

Have any of you followed The Bachelor series recently?  I loosely followed it, other than walking out of the room when the sexual junk started.

Why DO you think he ditched both ladies at the altar anyway? 

The way he kept saying "no, don't be scared.  don't be scared AT ALL...NOT AT ALL" made my skin CRAWL!  I noticed he had a very seducing, icky voice from the start and he looked fake to me.  His brother seemed to be a lot more normal than he was.

What do ya think?  My guess was some sort of personality disorder goin on there...maybe borderline or something or even another N that liked to string people along and then dump them after using them? 

Let's ponder together on this if you will.

Reallyme-

Are you speaking of a TV show? I am not certain that what goes on in these shows should be regarded as factual reality- I don't know if one can legitimately worry about such things on a realistic level- maybe on a level akin to worrying if Dot on EastEnders is going to quit smoking!

no..believe me it WAS very real.

This guy strung two ladies along for 6 weeks, telling them that they were all that he wanted, and that he was falling in love...but then, he ditches the one at the altar and, when the other believes that SHE is mrs RIGHT, he ditches her too, after telling her he let the other one go.

Changing, you probably didn't view it so you don't have a clue what I'm even talking about.  Anyone that DID see it, let's talk.

I was wondering----- a

That is Reality TV.

It is not Real. It is formulated for viewers enjoyment only.

Critics say that the term "reality television" is somewhat of a misnomer. Such shows frequently portray a modified and highly influenced form of reality, with participants put in exotic locations or abnormal situations, sometimes coached to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events on screen sometimes manipulated through editing and other post-production techniques.

(I'll say rM did watch the sexy parts.)


Hey gang, let's all ponder Mickey Mouse and Goofy --oops! I've heard gossip about them.

Hi Reallyme-

I haven't watched this show in particular, but I do have several friends who work in television and have some grasp of the so-called reality tv process- there is much editing and scripting and framing involved- that is the truth. They want ratings.

Love,

Here is an article on the "Defamer" website-

"In an unprecedented move that threatens to undermine the sacred premise of future installments of ABC's blockbuster TV-matchmaking franchise The Bachelor, America's heart was cleaved in twain as Brad Womack (billed repeatedly as The Sexiest Bachelor Yet!) refused to pretend that he'd fallen for any of this season's desperate-for-companionship contestants and offer one of the show's trademark, temporary-commitment-affirming engagement rings to either finalist, walking away from the the series finale as a single man.

We invite you to relive (or live for the first time, if you had something better to watch last night) this historic and emotionally devastating moment, one that will likely be followed by Womack's immediate relocation to Los Angeles, where he can enjoy the sexual attention of countless singles who think they can finally teach the dream-destroying Texan, so obviously damaged by the manipulation of producers hoping for the usual months of free publicity from the BRAD AND DEANNA: STILL TOGETHER? People cover stories counting off the days until his sham engagement inevitably petered out, to fake-love again."

that was interesting, changing!

I still say the man, just the way he talked, either was a good yet annoying actor, or seriously has a problem.  His voice is all weird-sounding and he repeats himself too often.

Hi reallyMe-

To properly diagnose the man in question, something other than watching a TV show might be in order- I am not a professional in psychology so I may be wrong. Perhaps the producers and directors, etc had the effect that you mentioned in mind, and set things up so that they would appear this way...no way to tell. Perhaps he is simply not telegenic!
