Hello, My Name Is Brenda And I Watch "The Bachelor"



Ok, I feel better now, admitting to you all that I watch "The Bachelor".  I've watched every season, including "The Bachelorette".  I can't help myself.  It's like watching the proverbial train wreck.....it's impossible not to watch this stuff.  Maybe I should think about joining a 12-step program or something.  Anyhoo.........

This season is a re-do for Brad Womack, who failed a few seasons back to pick the right girl at the end (shocker, I know).  He went home fiancee-less and had to do some soul-searching and deep therapy to figure out why he couldn't commit.  Of course, we found out this season that he has major 'father' issues and he says now that he is ready to find love and is in a better state of mind.

The finale is tonight and his two final choices could not be more different from one another.  My choice for Brad is Emily, the sweet, southern, young mother of a 5 yr. old girl.  Emily's fiance died in a plane crash in 2004.  Five days after the crash, Emily found out that she was pregnant with their daughter, Ricki, named after the father, Ricky Hendrick.  Ricky was the son of NASCAR's big powerhouse team owner, Rick Hendrick.

Emily is stunningly beautiful and sweet, and obviously connected to some wealth, so why she had to come on "The Bachelor" to find a man is beyond me.  But she did and she's made it to the finale.


The other finalist, Chantal, is annoying and immature and I really hope he doesn't choose her.

So, now you all know where I will be tonight--glued in front of the boob tube, anxiously awaiting the outcome!  Go Emily!
