ABC's "The Bachelor" casts Austin, TX, Resident

Brad Womack, co-owner of The Chuggin Monkey, The Dizzy Rooster, and two other bars on Sixth Street in my beloved Austin, TX, has been chosen as the next Bachelor.

From TVGuide.com:

He is touted as "a sincere, sexy, successful, self-made man who may be the series' hottest guy yet."

His "good looks make him The Bachelor’s own 'McSteamy.'"

With his two brothers he co-owns four lucrative bars, and they are now in the early stages of developing a hotel.

He is "ready to find his soul mate, settle down and have the family life he has so long desired." Born in Atlanta and currently residing in Austin, Texas, he is 34-year-old Brad Womack, and he is ABC's new Bachelor.

Ladies, prepare to be wooed, scrutinized and culled down. In the end, the fairest of you will be chosen as The One.

And then you'll break up.

The 11th edition of The Bachelor premieres Monday, Sept. 24, at 9:30 pm/ET, with a 90-minute special. May your courtship last as long.

No offense to Mr. Womack, but does anyone even watch The Bachelor anymore? I don't know anyone that does...and you would think that these guys that go on these shows would notice that only one couple is still together, and they were actually from "The Bachelorette". Sounds to me like someone is looking for a bunch of publicity for his bar and to get laid...can't he do that without going on national TV. Thank you and goodnight.
