About the "Bachelor Pad"
Fan-favorites, arch-rivals, villains and the sexiest participants from the hugely successful “Bachelor” franchise reunite under one roof in a competitive reality series to compete for $250,000 and perhaps a “second chance” at love, on ABC’s “Bachelor Pad,” premiering MONDAY, AUGUST 9 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET). The series begins with 19 of the most unforgettable characters from seasons past living together in the “Bachelor Pad” mansion. Each week they’ll square off in head-to-head challenges to compete for immunity and the opportunity to go on a date with contestants of their choice. The winner of the challenge will then grant immunity to one of his or her dates via the presentation of a rose. At the end of each episode, the contestants will vote amongst themselves to determine which cast members will be eliminated from the competition.
The hosts of “Bachelor Pad” are Chris Harrison (“The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette”) and former “The Bachelor” and “Dancing with the Stars” contestant Melissa Rycroft.
The series is from Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television. For more information on Bachelor Pad, visit www.abc.go.com/shows/bachelorpad.
