okay, prep yourself: abc has ordered a spin-off of the ‘bachelor’ in which all-star contestants from past seasons will live in a house together. yeah, that kind of show. entitled ‘bachelor pad,’ 20 contestants from the past 13 seasons of the ‘bachelor’ and the ‘bachelorette’ will compete in challenges each episode, with one contestant being eliminated at the end of the hour-long show.

says executive producer martin hilton, “all these people have been friends, been enemies, they date each other and bring all this great backstory to the show. it seemed like there was an opportunity to combine that world with a new competitive reality show.”

abc’s ordered six episodes with their go-to host, chris harrison. while the 20 contestants have not yet been announced, we’re told that some of the most popular “players” – including past winners – are set to star. my thoughts? this is just gonna be one big mating game… let the hook-ups begin!
