Brad Womack Talks 'The Bachelor': He's Happy, In Love, Hopes It's Not a Boring Season

122029_D_0191_pre.jpgHere are the highlights from returning Bachelor Brad Womack's conference call from yesterday, in which reporters grilled him about feelings, very much in the same way that the women on The Bachelor will grill him about feelings on the first episode. He's getting good at this! Questions in bold. Brad's answers in non-bold. My commentary in italics. Good ol' slanting italics, like ready-made sarcasm.

Did you feel that pressure going in and throughout filming the show that "if I don't pick someone at the end, I'm screwed"?
Brad Womack: No, not at all. You know something, I almost sound like a jerk when I say this, but you know, love and all of it, I take that very seriously, and not a chance would I let anyone pressure me to make any kind of decision like that, any decision at all for that matter. So, I definitely make my own decisions and felt no pressure. I can truthfully say that. [...]  Even though I would have been publicly exiled, I would have walked away again. So I didn't feel pressure, but I'm happy to say I did fall in love and I've very, very happy. So I'm grateful to have had a second chance.

Brad thinks he sounds like a jerk for saying that he takes love seriously, and would never let someone pressure him into proposing. I think he'd sound like a jerk if he said the opposite. Romance reality television is still weird. Also, "publicly exiled"? As a public, we should probably reassess how and why we exile, you guys. That sounds way too extreme, even for us.
