ABC’S NEW BACHELOR IS A SINCERE, SEXY, SUCCESSFUL SELF-MADE MAN WHO MAY BE THE SERIES’ HOTTEST GUY YET
The 11th Edition of ABC’s Popular Romance Reality Series Will Premiere With a 90-Minute Special on Monday, September 24
Brad Womack, 34, is a successful, self-made entrepreneur. It doesn’t hurt that his sexy good looks make him The Bachelor’s own “McSteamy.”
For all his hard-earned accomplishments, there is one thing missing from Brad’s life: He is ready to find his soul mate, settle down and have the family life he has so long desired. But Brad’s heart, determination and commitment have already given him a good head start. Currently residing in Austin, Texas, Brad co-owns four lucrative bars with his two brothers, Chad and Wesley, both of whom are married. With the success of these establishments, they are now looking to expand into other ventures and are in the early stages of developing a hotel.
Brad had an early plan to make his mark on the world and, at 19, left Texas State University (known then as Southwest Texas State) after one year of college to work in oil fields across the country to save up money. His eight-year odyssey took him all over Texas and then to Louisiana, North Dakota and California.
After working diligently in the oil fields, he got into bartending with his twin brother, Chad. After some eight months tending bar, he had enough money saved to finance the purchase of his first drinking establishment with his brothers in 2001, when he was just 28. Since then, their very successful business has exploded to where they’ve purchased a bar a year.
However Brad has had to overcome some obstacles on his way to his booming business career. Born in Atlanta, his family stayed there until he was 12 years old, and then the family moved to Livingston, Texas, where he went to high school. Growing up in a single-parent home, his challenging days as a youngster helped to instill in him a good work ethic, the importance of a stable family and the ability to be a good provider. Not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he is appreciative of what he has accomplished on his own. These strong values, coupled with great looks and undeniable sex appeal, make him the perfect catch.
Brad is sincere about his search and optimistic that he will find the woman who could become his wife. Hosted by Chris Harrison, The Bachelor is produced by Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television. Mike Fleiss and Lisa Levenson are the executive producers. David Bohnert and Martin Hilton are the co-executive producers.
Lincee – this is one for you! go for it!
Happy days are here again indeed! Love his blue eyes!
A very handsome guy! But I wouldn’t want my husband to own and tend a bar. To me (my opinion only, I’m sure most don’t agree), owning a bar is not a very admirable line of work.
But, as I said, he LOOKS good.
And this is why I love Austin!
geez anonymous 11:04 – who are you? Debbie Downer? wa-wa-wa….
1. LINCEE THIS MAN’S FOR YOU! GO FOR IT GIRL!
2. ANONYMOUS – YOU DON’T THINK THAT BEING A SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENUER IS ADMIRABLE, UM…
He lives in Texas, you live in Texas. He’s single, you’re single. The similarities are uncanny.
Tell Host Chris to hook you up.
YAY!! Lincee’s back =)
This guy looks promising…….
Holy Toledo! He’s Hot! HOT, I tell you!!!! Bring on September 24th.
Anon 11:04. I never knew that tending bar, or owning a bar could make a person less admirable. That’s interesting. Chili’s and Olive Garden have bars. . are the owners of those establishments less admirable? Just curious! Also wanted to point out that the new Bachelor doesn’t tend his own bar. He’s way too busy being a low life, hard working, entrepreneur to tend his own bar.
WELCOME BACK LINCEE!!!!
Can’t wait to see you on the show! This guy is for you!!!! Can’t wait for the new season. What happened to your other blog??
Anon 11:04–Are you kidding me?? Did some bartender love you and leave you? You sound a little bitter.
ok anon 11:04… let me guess… you shop only at Laura Ashley, you sing in the choir at the First Baptist Church and you boycotted all things Disney because they hire (gasp) gay people. get a life and quit passing judgment on people you know nothing about.
Have any of you guys looked at his myspace page?! Just wondering..but don’t let Anon 11:04 see she might FREAK OUT!!!! http://www.myspace.com/chugginmonkey
yeeee haaaaaaw!
Okay, So I haven’t seen all of the Bachelor shows so I am not sure if there have been any African American or Latino bachelors. If not, what’s up with that
