		<description>I agree that the situation is contrived, but having watched some of the previous seasons, there was another solution that would have made more sense. Brad appeared sincere in his search for a woman to marry. He also seemed to have feelings for at least one of the women, if not both. A previous Bachelor gave the ring with the understanding that it was not an engagement, but only a promise to explore  a further relationship, and that they should get to know each other under less artificial circumstances, and see if the attraction was still there...more sensible and less painful than "goodbye forever."</description>

		<description>I cheered too DG. I just don't get it, (maybe its the youth of the woman) how they can really know someone enough after 6 weeks and a couple dates. I think it goes to show a man can have 25 of the most beautiful woman and still not find love. I think it is more realistic to say that he or she chooses the one he would like to date exclusively and give her the last rose. All in all, its just plain studpid and I can't beleive I occationally get pulled into watching those woman scratch for his attention (sad but true). Its like a train wreck you can't turn away from.</description>
