Stop in the Name of Love

Okay. So I'm watching The Bachelorette Where are They Now which aired tonight, one week after DeAnna's finale. The show itself was mostly footage previously aired about past bachelors and bachelorettes which made for a fast TiVo viewing. There was a total of about five minutes (or less) of actual original footage of DeAnna and Jesse talking to Trista and Ryan, ABCs golden couple who actually got married and have a baby. Anyway, something weird happened at the end. Did anyone else see this? At the end, when the credits were rolling, there was a cut to Brad Womack (the guy who dumped DeAnna) eating a sandwich and watching Jesse propose to DeAnna. I think it was meant to be funny but it was just so weird. There was no emotion from Brad at all. He was just sitting there eating this plain looking sandwich which was the only thing on his plate. After Jesse proposes, Brad switches off the TV and takes a bite of his sandwich, then the show is over. Are we supposed to laugh? I wasn't sure. It felt awkward and a little sad.

I wanted to talk to someone about this but it was after midnight so I couldn't call anyone, although in all honesty I wasn't really sure anyone I know saw it. So for any of you Bachelor/Bachelorette fan(s) out there, please add a comment if you saw this and what your reaction was! Oh yeah, and did anyone else think that Jason was one of the sweetest bachelor choices ever?!

Something I've learned this summer: No matter how many summer vacations I have, I never get tired of them!

I didn't see the show, but your description of Mr. Womack watching the proposal while casually eating a sandwich sounds a little odd. What was he thinking! Is that the type of commiserating you were looking for?

Yes, something like that. I'm just pleased someone responded. :) Okay, now I AM going to bed.

I just watched the Where Are They Now special. It has been waiting on my Tivo. I thought the last minute with Brad was really bizarre. I went online to see what other people thought of it, but couldn't find much information. Was that really him watching the finale? I'm confused.
