• Episode Three: Brad Womack took Ashley Spivey on a date to a recording studio.  The pair sang a Seal song which brought back memories of her father.  The second one-on-one date of the episode was with Emily Maynard.  Maynard, who lost her fiancee in a plane crash previously, was not sure she could tell Womack about the situation. Early portions of the date were tense with him expressing concern over the fact she would not open up to him. When Emily finally is able to discuss the circumstances, Brad was understanding and wanted to know more about her life and her daughter.  Both ladies received a rose on their individual date.
• Episode Four:  The individual dates for the week were with Chantal O'Brien and Michelle Money. Chantal and Brad went to Catalina Island for a walk on the sea floor.  The underwater experience created fear for Chantal O. who thought she might get trapped or drown.  During the date, Brad said he could see having a long term relationship with Chantal, who later apologizes for slapping him on the first night they met. For Michelle Money's date, the pair went rappelling from a high rise building. The couple kissed hanging in mid air.  Money's fear of heights was highlighted in the episode. The couple spent time in a hot tub together with Michelle saying she just doesn't see the other women with him. Both ladies received a rose.
• Episode Five: After taking the girls to Vegas, the first date card for a one-on-one date reveals the first date to be Shawntel N. She is treated to a date which she calls her Pretty Woman moment. She shares her career information with Brad on the date but in spite of seeming taken aback by the information she is an embalmer, he gives her the rose anyway. The second date takes a different spin in week five.  A two-on-one date occurs.  Brad takes Ashely H. and Ashely S. both with him to an Elvis theme show.  The Ashleys know by both going with him only one would receive a rose.  Ashley S. is eliminated before the show starts and Brad and Ashley H. perform together.

Brad Womack faced the women of season 11 in the After the Final Rose show, the first time he had met with either of the final two ladies since sending both home. After discussion over why he did not pursue a relationship, Womack told Deanna Pappas:

---I think you of all people deserve the kind of guy that's going to look you in the eye and tell you everything that you told me," he confusingly said. "That you're so in love with me, that he wants you to have his children -- you want to have mine. Everything that you told me, I could not look you in the eye and say that. I just think you're so deserving of this guy that he just knows -- 100% knows -- that this is a lifetime." --Brad Womackhttp://www.realitytvworld.com/news/bachelor-star-brad-womack-rejects-deanna-pappas-second-time-6139.php

Following her rejection by Womack, Pappas was offered the chance to be the star of the ABC show, The Bachelorette. In an interview regarding her own show, she spoke of Brad Womack saying:

---"I was really confused when it happened," Pappas told reporters about Womack's rejections. "But after it was all over, said and done with, I was actually very happy that Brad stood-up for what he believed in and didn't propose to someone just because he was under pressure. I'm thankful that he didn't propose to me. Everything happens for a reason and I'm where I am today because of all of that, and I'm very happy for that." --Deanna Pappashttp://www.realitytvworld.com/news/deanna-pappas-very-happy-about-her-the-bachelorette-ending-7108.php

Both Pappas and Jenni Croft are seen in the first episode of season 15 of The Bachelor but the event was filmed separate from the show. Neither Croft nor Pappas were at the house with the new contestants.http://makeamerica.com/the-bachelor-another-sneak-peak-at-the-new-season.html
