Emily Maynard returned her engagement ring to Brad Womack

Just days after it was confirmed 'The Bachelor' winner Emily Maynard returned her engagement ring to Brad Womack, Maynard turned to her Twitter page to thank her fans for their ongoing support.

"Thank you so much for the support and love. It means more to me than you know. Busy weekend so I'll see you on Monday! Ephesians 4:29" she Tweeted.

According to UsMagazine.com, Maynard was spotted running errands in Charlotte, N.C., without the rock Womack presented to her on 'The Bachelor' finale, with an insider confirming that she has returned it to ABC.

Sources claim that the couple's long-distance relationship was just too hard to continue. "It's completely over now," a source told UsMagazine.

Maynard is reported to have initiated the breakup, which happened about two weeks ago after she visited Womack's home in Austin, Texas, in a last-ditch attempt to save their relationship.

"Emily is happy in Charlotte [North Carolina] and is not moving to Austin with [her 5-year-old daughter] Ricki," a source told Us. "She is content."

But Womack isn't doing as well as Maynard. A source tells UsMagazine that the reality TV star "keeps drunk-dialing [Emily]" and added: "Brad is such a loser."

Fast National ratings for Monday, May 23, 2011. 

ABC got huge Monday numbers for the "Dancing with the Stars" finale performances, leading into solid (but significantly less huge) premiere numbers for Ashley Hebert's debut as "The Bachelorette." That was enough to easily carry ABC past FOX's "House" and "Chicago Code" finales.

Meanwhile, reduced competition helped "The Chicago Code," "The Event" and "Law & Order: Los Angeles" all get big Monday bumps for new episodes.

Among adults 18-49, ABC averaged a 3.4 rating for the night, comfortably beating the 2.6 rating for FOX in the key demographic. CBS' 1.8 rating followed, with NBC's 1.4 rating good for fourth. The CW was last with a 0.2 rating.

Overall, ABC averaged an estimated 13.56 million viewers and an 8.7 rating/14 share for the night. That was far ahead of the 4.9/6 and nearly 8 million viewers for FOX and the 4.1/6 and 6.32 million viewers for CBS. NBC's 3.1/5 and 4.94 million viewers finished fourth. The CW was last with only 595,000 viewers and a 0.4/1.

8 p.m. - The first part of the "Dancing with the Stars" finale drew 22.15 million viewers and a 4.6 rating among adults 18-49 for ABC in the 8 p.m. hour, far ahead of what "Dancing" did in the same hour last week. FOX's "House" finale averaged 8.9 million viewers and a 3.3 demo rating, negligibly up from last week in viewers and down from last week in the demo. CBS' repeats of "How I Met Your Mother" averaged 4.39 million viewers, edging out the 4.3 million viewers for NBC's "Minute to Win It." The CW's repeat of "90210" averaged 674,000 viewers.

9 p.m. - Although it squandered heaps of its lead-in, "The Bachelorette" kept ABC in first for the 9 p.m. hour with 10.21 million viewers and a 2.9 demo rating. CBS' repeats of "Two and a Half Men" and "Mike and Molly" averaged 7.63 million viewers. FOX's "Chicago Code" got a finale bump with 7.03 million viewers and a 2.0 demo rating in third. Also rising for its finale was NBC's "The Event," which went up to 4.57 million viewers and a 1.5 demo rating. [Both "Chicago Code" and "The Event" weren't renewed by their respective network, but both continue to hold hope of outside reprieve.] The CW's "Gossip Girl" repeat averaged 516,000 viewers.

10 p.m. - "The Bachelorette" remained in first for the 10 p.m. hour with 8.33 million viewers and a 2.7 demo rating. CBS' "Clash of the Commercials" was second with 6.96 million viewers. Third went to NBC's "Law & Order: Los Angeles" with 5.95 million viewers and a 1.4 demo rating, also way up from last week.

All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change.

The Bachelor 2011 spoilers: Emily Maynard favored to win Brad Womack's final rose over Chantal

ABC

'The Bachelor' Brad Womack (l.) reportedly gives his rose to bachelorette Emily Maynard (r.) on the ABC finale Monday night.

Brad Womack will not reveal whether he has given the final rose to Emily Maynard or Chantal O'Brien on the season finale of "The Bachelor," but he doesn't mind revealing who he wants to be the next bachelorette.

After Monday night's "Bachelor" finale, the next star of "The Bachelorette" will be announced on ABC during "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" -- and Womack has a particular brunette in mind.

"Everyone thinks I'm crazy, but Madison. Yep, I said it!" the 38-year-old Texan recently told Extra TV.

Madison Garton took herself out of ABC show's competition at the beginning of the 15th season -- during the 3rd rose ceremony -- to the shock of the 25-year-old model's cast mates.

"She left on her own accord. She's very driven, very determined to be who she is," Womack told the entertainment show. "She is very multi-dimensional. I like Madison. I'm a Madison fan."

As for Womack's final rose, rumor has it that Emily Maynard, the 24-year-old hospital event planner from Morgantown, W. Va., will be the lucky winner. The widow of a NASCAR driver, she has a 5-year-old daughter and took a while to open up to Womack.

Her competition, Chantal O'Brien, is a 28-year-old executive assistant and dog lover from Mercer Island, Wash., who claims she has a "ridiculous connection" with Womack.

Womack, who returned to the show this yearn after refusing to make a choice in season 11, said he found “my girl” and will “hopefully” get married after the show concludes.

"That’s always been the goal for me. Find a girl, settle down, get married and have 20 babies," he told Extra.

"The Bachelor" finale airs at 8 pm. on ABC Monday night.
