Part dating show, part game show, Bachelor Pad unites eighteen past Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants to compete for a second chance at love and a chance to win $250,000. The new cast, including ex-fiancées Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi, is certain to bring the drama viewers want.
How it Works
Each week Bachelor Pad contestants compete in challenges for a chance at immunity and a date with contestants of their choice. The winner of the challenge will also grant immunity, with the presentation of a rose, to one of his or her dates. Each week one bachelor and one bachelorette will be voted off. The men determine which bachelorette goes home while the women get to vote off one of the bachelors. Relationships and alliances play a key strategic role in determining who gets sent packing and who remains in the competition.

Who to Watch
Every Bachelor fan will be expecting drama from ex-fiancées, Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi. When the pair faced-off in a televised interview with Chris Harrison, tempers flared and viewers took sides. As if that's not enough to create tension, Vienna is currently dating fellow Bachelor Pad contestant, Kasey Kahl. Vienna also has a history with rival, Gia Allemand (returning from the first season of Bachelor Pad), having both competed on Jake’s season of The Bachelor. A budding friendship (or more?!) between Jake and Gia is certain to add even more fuel to this fire.
Coming off a recent break-up, ex-fiancées, Holly Durst and Michael Stagliano, are on the rebound. And viewers are sure to remember villain Justin “R-Rated” Rego, the wrestler who was caught leaving voicemail messages for his girlfriend while pretending to compete for Ali’s love.
