The Bachelor Brad Womack Women Tell All Special
The Bachelor Brad Womack: Women Tell All Special
Final episode premieres next week, when Brad Womack makes his choice between Chantal & Emily.
But first... The Women Tell All Special. The ladies are back, and they're out for tiger blood... preferrably Michelle's.

After an pre-interview with Harrison and Brad about all the ladies he's rejected through his second chance and then a segment that made me feel filthy just watching it... the Bachelor/Bachelorette "family" all hooking up with each other... It was also to promote Bachelor Pad 2 coming this summer.

Things I learned from this segment:
1. All the guys dig Rozlyn and want to look up her skirt. She apparently has also learned from getting kicked off Jake's Bachelor season for getting involved in an "intimate relationship" with a Bachelor producer, stating "we're all sexual creatures." - Watch for her on Bachelor Pad 2, I'm guessing from all the air-time in the clip...
2. Kasey, the "Guard & Protect Your Heart" guy from Ali's Bachelorette season is a big hit at these parties. Everyone wants to see his rose tattoo and sing with him... He even hooks up with Erica from Lorenzo's Bachelor season (and VH1's You're Cut Off). His other hook-up rumors? Vienna, winner of Jake's Bachelor Season.
3. Craig and Ashleigh do NOT know how to kiss.
4. Vienna is most definitely going to be on Bachelor Pad 2 and she CANNOT wait. She's ready partner up with a dude and scheme her way to the money. Insert evil giggle here.
5. Wes & Gia did NOT live happily ever after... Who would have thought that relationship would sour after their amazing courtship on the last Bachelor Pad?! Apparently Vienna started her scheming early, since the rumor is she slept with Wes behind Gia's back... that "skank"
6. Ali and Roberto are still going strong. I hope to watch your On-Air Wedding...
Alright back to the Women Telling All... After a montage of all the crazy that went down this season, Harrison picks the juicest from the buffet:
MICHELLE
Jackie says "I'm kind of equating you to a spider; you're creepy and everyone's afraid of you."
And when Michelle starts to cry and defend that she came on the show for the right reasons, Stacey interrupts saying "You're honestly going to sit there and cry?"
But the Bachelor producers planned a whole segment for the most polarizing bachelorette for later in the show... so Harrison skewed the next portion of the show on Crazy Melissa vs. Annoyed Raichel and their cat-fight that had them both packing their bags early.
Melissa grabbed the hot seat and stated that she still feels like she was the victim and never initiated any of the confrontations. (Ahhh, yeah you did.) But she later apologized to all the girls, including Raichel.

Raichel wasn't having any of it. Although she said she took part of the blame, she blames it mostly on Melissa for getting her sent home and still thinks Melissa is a crazy person that she just can't stand. She refuses to apologize to Melissa, and Raichel ends up looking just as crazy.
I think Ashley S. said it the best when she said that it should be a lesson to all women out there, this kind of behavior is the least sexy thing for a guy.
Michelle took the hot seat next, and the other bachelorettes were relentless. Particularly Jackie, Stacy and Sarah P. who thought she was one person in the house and a totally different person when they watched her back on television.

Even though some of the girls tried to get her back... like Lisa M. and Ashley H. saying it's just her sarcastic, dry humor that the others just didn't get and even Madison saying she commended her for coming on for the right reasons.
Michelle could barely speak through her tears and sobs saying things like she's "easily misunderstood" and "not strong" and she "felt guilty for leaving her daughter" and came for "the right reasons". And Harrison called her interview rants a "defense mechanism"

Then Sarah P. piped up "I'm sorry, I just don't believe it."
Jackie piped up saying that she went too far with the things that she said and that they were hurtful not funny.
Then Stacy took it to another level, saying that Michelle put her own needs above her daughters, and that she would never have done that to her daughter
(Question... I wonder if Emily was sitting in this group, if they would have attacked her for leaving her daughter to find a man on television... hmmm.)
This threw Michelle into another sprial, but she was able to defend it saying "I'm a great mother and you have no right to judge that."
But this time the damage was done and the other bachelorettes were getting tired of the smack-down.
Britt piped up calling Michelle "funny as hell"
And Meghan said what all the fans were thinking (whether you love or love to hate Michelle) that "Monday nights wouldn't have been the same without you!"
I felt bad for Michelle actually. I found her Extremely Good TV. She was sarcastic, funny and just the far side of the crazy line. I think she did have good intentions coming into the show and did everything she knew how to in order to grab Brad's attention, plus it almost worked out for her. But I don't think she realized at the time how her aggressiveness paired with her sarcastic interviews would turn into an editing dream for a villianess. Poor thing.
Okay... enough of Michelle. Let's get to the Ashleys.
Ashley S... Brad dumped her back in Vegas for the other Ashley on the only 2-on-1 date of the season with his cutting words:
"I think you'll make an extraordinary wife. I don't think you'll make an extraordinary wife for me." - Brad dumpin Ashley S.
We had to watch the heart-wrenching clip of her saying she has no fight left in her...

She still wants closure from Brad, but she tries to stay upbeat
"I know that perfect guy is out there for me. I want to find true love... Do you have any single friends?!" - Ashley S. to Harrison
Gosh, I'd love to watch her as the next Bachelorette... however, spoilers are suggesting someone else... keep reading to find out who...
Then we get the NEW Ashley H...
My take on her new darker tan and darker, longer, curler locks?! Not digging it. I think it makes her look WAYYYYYY older. But that's just my opinion.

She watches her montage clip and finally realizes that Brad actually was REALLY into her and that she blew it by not believing or really listening to what he was saying... She's full of regret and wishes she did things differently, but she can't go back and she says she "excited to start dating again"
Then Bachelor Brad comes out... but he's a seasoned pro this time around. He quickly mentions his "significant other", tells the ladies he's glad to see them and compliments Ashley H's new appearance. He comes to Michelle's defense, then sort of half-accepts, half-denies Ashley H's apology for wasting time feeling insecure (he tells her maybe he wasn't the man she needed him to be to make her feel more confident...) and he doesn't really give any closure to Ashley S. at all, saying "Who am I to tell you, you won't make an good wife!?"

We then got a clip of Harrison and Brad visiting the Henna Preschool in South Africa as they frolicked with the kiddies while a solar water system was installed. It was cute. If you want more info about how to contribute to the Henna School go to www.abc.go.com and find the Bachelor site for details.

Then we got a funny blooper reel... I wish we saw more of this type of stuff.

Best highlight - Sarah P. drinking from wine glass using her foot.
Plus we saw that Brad actually has a sense humor (with the naked guy on the beach) that gets lost when he's trying to be serious for the cameras.
So the only one that I would have liked to have seen more from is Shawntel. She got a few head-shots in reaction to whatever was going on at the time, but she didn't pipe in for any of the segments and the # 4 gal didn't get any questions from Harrison... which I found disappointing, because I find her interesting.

Lastly we got a preview of what's to come on the last episode of the season. Brad is having doubts and wants to walk away again. All signs points to him sticking it out and choosing someone... we'll see who next week.
So who's the rumored next Bachelorette?! Ashley H.
I'm kind of disappointed. I thought Ashley S. or Shawntel would have been a more interesting pick to watch... Now I have nothing against Ashley H and will probably, happily watch her journey of love next season, but I'm just a tad bit disappointed...
