S15, E1: Bachelor BRAD WOMACK - considered by many to be "the most hated Bachelor" in the series' history for rejecting all of the women he met during his initial journey as the Bachelor - returns for another chance at love. Brad has spent the last three years undergoing intensive therapy, which took him on a painful journey of self-discovery, leading to personal revelations about his commitment issues. Now he is ready to make a genuine commitment to a relationship, as he chooses from among 30 bachelorettes. But will the bachelorettes, knowing Brad's history, question his intentions, or will they be open to the possibility of falling in love? In the 15th season premiere, Brad, 37, returns to the Malibu mansion to begin his journey, but is caught completely off guard when host CHRIS HARRISON escorts in two surprise guests: DeANNA PAPPAS and JENNI CROFT! To add to his anxiety about returning as the Bachelor, Brad must now face the final two women he scorned three years ago.
