ABC renews 'Bachelor Pad' for a second season -- EXCLUSIVE

bachelor-pad-twisterImage Credit: Rick Rowell/ABCStock up on prophylactics and penicillin, folks, because Bachelor Pad — ABC’s Bachelor/Bachelorette spinoff that pits former contestants against each other in games of skill and sexual depravity for a cash prize — is returning for a second season this August. While the new group of players has yet to be announced, ABC has been holding casting events (a.k.a. reunions/hook-up fests) with Bachelor/Bachelorette alumni for the past few months — and a network spokesman says producers are “open to all suggestions” from fans. (In fact, I have it on good authority that Team Bachelor reads the message boards on EW.com, so be sure to post your nominees below!) Chris Harrison will return as host.

The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor Pad are all produced by Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television.

    NO need for Melissa Rycroft to help “host”. She added nothing. Ty Brown would be my first choice for the guys. He is very sweet and VERY cute!

    • Andrew

      I think she wants to focus on being a mom right now.

    • J-Will

      Definately agree with ya about Ty! He was one of the best guys they have had on the show ever! Bring back Ty!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Rachel

    Chris L. Chris L. Chris L. Chris L.

    Pretty please! :)

    • Kyle

      He’s a frontrunner, but I don’t think he’d do it. Hell, he turned down The Bachelor why would he do this?
      Plus, I heard he’s dating Peyton from last Bachelor Pad

  • Ronda

    Definitely get girls from this season! Shawntel, Michelle, Jackie, Alli and both Ashleys

    • Caiti

      I read that Shawntel didnt want to do it. And I hope Michelle stays with her daughter.

    • Mandee

      Please don’t bring Michelle!!! She annoyed me to death!

    • dartwoman63

      Word is Ashley Hebert is going to be the next Bachelorette so she won’t be going on Bachelor Pad.

      • ec

        Ashley H as the Bachelorette? Ew- way too ugly and fake. She’s like watching a tween who just ate a pixy stik.

  • CDNgurl

    Let’s see Michelle from Brad’s season, what a hoot she would be,psycho woman!

    • LoliRyder

      Yay Kirky!!! Please more Kirk!
      And Madison. I like her. Please keep Erica off the show.

  • Colleen

    They definitely need to get “vampire girl” from this season!! Talk about making things interesting. LOL

    • Britt

      OMG, hahaha YES they need to bring her!!

  • Alli

    Frank!!! Ooh and Kirk from Ali’s season

  • Jane

    As long as there’s no Michelle… Everything’s fine with me!

    • kazem

      eewrwrw

  • Colleen

    Oh yea… Michelle would be a hoot, for sure. Good call.

    • Alli

      Agree- I love having the “awful” people on Bach Pad instead of on the actual show. I loved Wes on Pad but hated him on Jillian’s season :)

    • rt

      shantal for sure

  • julie

    def Michelle from Brad’s season and vampire girl”

  • Bekka

    PLEASE for the love of all that is holy do NOT bring Michelle (from Brad’s season) back. She is pins and needles in your eyes painful! It would be wicked funny if “vampire girl” came back. She left before her time was up and it would be kind of cool to see Shawntel (“funeral girl”) come back too.

    • luv it

      amen to that. Michelle wont bring ratings up. I will not what her if she is on the show. ug!

  • Shelbi

    Kasey Kahl from Bachelorette 6 and Michelle Money from Bachelor 15!!! I think they would be VERY interesting additions for the second season!!!!

    • shari

      Yes it would – Michelle’s the kind that MAKES a show!! Who’s going to whup her a#$, and who’s she going to piss of this time….Makes for good grief in programming!! Tho, I can’t stand her either, the fake drama queen!!

    • Brenda

      Kasey!! LOL. Would luv 2 see that tatoo again…creeeeppyy..

  • Cristina

    Psycho MICHELLE!!!!!!!

  • Fluffy

    How about bring back Bob since he’s split from Rebecca Budig! Vienna =). Goodness, I can’t think of anyone because out of sight out of mind I guess.

  • Tami

    Michelle = Drama in Bachelor pad..

  • Katie

    I wish Brad will pick Emily but I don’t think he will. I hope she is the next Bachelorette instead of being on Bachelor Pad.

    • PattiCal

      I REALLY wish ABC would have thought of what the Ukraine’s Bachelor did~ my vote would definitely have been for Maks on DWTS. I would LOVE to see those episodes! =]

      • shari

        maks would be a perfect candidate for the bachelor,hell, he’d get a free trip home too, since the show travels!!

      • Drea

        Maks is a bit mean and harsh. Did it work out for him and the lady he chose when he was Ukraine Bachelor?

    • Lisa

      I also hope he picks Emily. I don’t see her going on the Bachelor Pad. She doesn’t seem to be the type to leave her daughter again for a hook up (s). I just want them to start fresh. NO MORE REJECTS FROM PREVIOUS SEASONS FOR BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE!!

      • Drea

        There good looking rejects that already have a following of fans that are familiar with them, so that’s why they choose someone from a past show.
