Thanks Mike. I get where you are coming from
I smell a rat too, but to me it's not Brad. It's Fleiss. He edited the show and showed us what we all thought were two different love stories. You saw Deanna and liked Jenni as well and I saw Jenni and liked Deanna as well. I've seen the last episode a couple of times and really I didn't see Brad longing to be with either woman. My opinion, is that he wanted to fall in love with either Jenni, Bettina or Deanna and it just didn't happen.
When it comes to the media, my curiosity is what would Brad say knowing that he chose no one? Fleiss would never let him say that he let both of these two great girls go. Why would a viewer tune in for the finale? My thought is that he had to put himself in the place of having a finale one and answer in that way. To me a straight answer is that he did stay true to himself and follow his heart. He has said this all along.
We all want the fairytale, and sometimes bachelor shows can provide that, but not this time. This time, it seems like we actually got a more accurate representation of what real relationships are like. Like I said I am probably in the minority, but I appreciate being shown the reality of the situation instead of a scripted fairy tale ending that would be revealed in a week
