BRAD WOMACK
Season 11

After rejecting DeAnna Pappas and Jenni Croft in the finale, Womack returned home to Austin, Texas, where he now co-owns five bars. Momentarily the most-hated man in America, Womack says people began to calm down after Ellen DeGeneres (who had called him a ''jerk'') let him explain to her audience that he never asked producers to fly Pappas' father in for the finale. He also tells EW that he admitted to producers two weeks before the finale that he didn't see a future with any woman there, but was told he had to go ring shopping and all the rest of it anyway: ''Per my contract, there was gonna be a final ceremony — whether I picked anybody or not.'' Would Womack, who recently started dating someone, do it all again? ''I would. I fully believe in the process. I know you're gonna laugh at me, but trust me, I'm not under a contractual obligation to say that anymore.''
