The Final 2 Women on "The Bachelor" Brad Womack Returns "Emily Vs. Chantal"

The Bachelor, Brad Womack, has weeded through 30 women to get to 11 to 6 to 4 to 3 and now the final two that he's considering for his wife. The stakes for winning Brad's heart are even higher now especially because of the romantic settings the cast has jet-set to, the hometown dates, the South African fantasy dates and fantasy suites and the upcoming meeting of Brad's family. Brad kept the most beautiful final two women, who also genuinely seem beautiful on the inside. There's Chantal the brunette stunner and Emily the blonde bombshell with the heart of gold. Here's some more info about the final two and their chances at finding love with Brad based purely on watching the show and not on actual outcomes.

Chantal O'Brien - 28: Mercer Island, Washington - Executive Assistant

This green-eyed brunette likes fuzzy pets and has two tattoos. Her dad is Mike O'Brien a former pro-football player and now car salesman whom she works for. She's been married and divorced (2005-2009) from Jason Vena, former lead singer for the band Acceptance. In high school she went to prom with Nic Newsham, (picture here) now the lead singer of band Gatsby's American Dream.

Chantal has seemed like a frontrunner all season. Brad and Chantal get along well and he actually told her on their first one-on-one date that he wanted to run away with her. Brad also seems smitten with her and Chantal was also the first gal to get two one-on-one dates and both of those involved helicopters. In Costa Rica episode 6 she told Brad she loved him and they might have gotten busy in his private room when their picnic was rained out. But in episode 7 in Anguilla she freaked out when she realized Brad was also extremely close with the other women. She told him that he should let her go if he didn't have the same feelings as her. On the hometown date on episode 8 Brad told Chantal that he wanted to get a bigger place so Chantal could move in with him. Brad also seemed to mesh with her family. Brad and Chantal's mom and dad are all not averse to medical intervention to prevent aging. In episode 9, Chantal told Brad that she was serious about relationships and when she got engaged that meant that she would get married, not un-engaged. Brad told Chantal that he felt the most comfortable with her. The two got busy in their Fantasy Suite. Chantal's chances are extremely high.

Emily Marynard - 24: Morgantown, West Virginia - Children's Hospital Event Planner

This peroxide-blonde loves the Fourth of July and Aspen. Emily is also gorgeous, tough and sweet. She seems almost too good to be true but definitely deserves someone who wants her for "the right reasons."

Brad really likes her too but might seem a bit intimidated because replacing Em's tragically deceased racecar driver fiance is a very tough challenge. What made this most awkward was the episode 5 NASCAR date where Emily was forced to confront her past on the same racetrack where her late-fiance crashed out of his driving career. Brad apologized for the insensitive date but Emily went through with it so she could move on. In Anguilla on episode 7 Emily was picked up by helicopter for her second one-on-one date with Brad. She was reluctant however to promise Brad that he could meet her daughter whom she has never introduced to a boyfriend. But during the episode 8 hometown date Emily did introduce her daughter Ricki to Brad. So that was a giant leap of faith for Em in her relationship with the two-time Bachelor. She still seems too good for him. The telling thing was in episode 9 when Emily asked Brad if he was ready to be a father. Brad had a hard time answering. But both proclaimed that they were "in-love" with each other.

Personally I think that Brad objectifies Emily as a saint and isn't seeing her as a person, so obviously this isn't a good start for a healthy relationship.

But Emily's ambitions and intent could be questioned. In 2007 Emily was involved with the Levine Children's Hospital who named their pediatric ward after Ricky Hendrick because his parents donated $3 million. But since 2008 she's been a Nashville, TN model and realtor so maybe she isn't really on the show for "the right reasons."

Emily was rumored to be the next "Bachelorette" if she wasn't picked by Brad. But now those rumors seems to be stopped and Ashley Hebert is now rumored to be the next "The Bachelorette."
