TRY one “Bachelor” – get one free.
Until tonight, none of the women on the latest edition of the famed dating series knew that “Bachelor” Brad Womack has an identical-twin brother.
Named Chad.
Brad calls on Chad to test the 12 remaining women.
So, Chad poses as Brad – asking the ladies lots of questions to help his brother decide who is serious and, of course, deserves a red rose to continue on the show.
“Brad actually brought it up to see . . . if I could meet some of the girls and form my own opinion,” says Chad who, unlike single Brad, is married.
“Quite honestly, he wanted to see if I could help him out and have some fun.”
“I wanted to know who wasn’t only there to ‘win,’ but who was there to really get to know me,” says Brad, a 34-year-old entrepreneur who runs a chain of bars with Chad and another brother, Wesley.
“And who better than my twin brother? I was hoping he could tell [which girls were serious] right away, and I think the episode is very telling.
“Chad knew right off the bat which girls were into me, and which girls I already had doubts about.
“It helped seal the deal.”
The brothers said only a few of the women caught on to the ruse.
“Every single one of them doubled over in laughter [after they were told],” says Brad. “Not a single one of them was offended . . . although a couple of the ladies looked like a deer in the headlights.”
And how did Chad’s wife react to her hubby flirting with other women?
“She said, ‘Go for it,’ ” says Chad. “Have fun – but come back in one piece.”
Tonight’s episode of “The Bachelor” airs at 10 p.m. on Ch. 7.
