Despite fans' lukewarm reaction to Bachelor Pad, ABC is about to begin casting a second season of The Bachelor spin-off, Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively learned.
“If you’re on the invite, then you’re in the running to become a contestant on Bachelor Pad,” a source exclusively told Breaking Celebrity News.
Next Entertainment, the production company that owns the show, blasted invitations to the sexiest and most popular cast members of previous Bachelor and Bachelorette seasons. The invite promises an open bar, suggests cocktail attire, and is an on-camera event.
“Sixty-five previous contestants have already responded and are going to the New York event on January 30. Similar casting parties will follow in Los Angeles and Chicago,” our source explained.
“Everyone has to sign a waiver of release so they can be on camera and they plan to air the footage in the current season of The Women Tell All.
“The producers are trying to pick their characters and come up with the cryer, the drunk and the angry contestant,” said our source.
