'The Bachelor' just announced 'The Bachelor Winter Games' oh no why
The only thing that can bring people together in 2018 is the Olympics, but ABC will now attempt to counteract that with The Bachelor Winter Games.
Premiering Feb. 13, during the PyeongChang actual Winter Olympics, the show will bring together 14 contestants from around the world to participate in wintry games and contests, including, per an ABC press release, "the toughest sport of all – love." Hmmm.
The special series will last four episodes (through Feb. 22), and begin in snow winter destination Vermont. ESPN's Hannah Storm and KABC-TV's Ashley Brewer will join host Chris Harrison, with guest appearances from Ryan and Trista Sutter, Arie Luyendyk Jr., Rachel Lindsay, and Jojo Fletcher. Figure skaters Nancy Kerrigan, Tai Babilonia, and Randy Gardner will also stop by.
More from the press release:
The bachelors and bachelorettes will participate in challenges from winter biathlon to ice dancing, with date cards being given to the winners of each challenge. Romantic dates will test the bachelors’ and bachelorettes’ perseverance in pursuing relationships with one another while faced with language barriers and cultural differences, including some amusing issues with intimacy.
The Bachelor Winter Games premiers Feb. 13 at 8 p.m. EST.
