The Bachelors will see three single men hoping to fall in love with the woman of their dreams, premiering at 7:30 pm on 10 and 10 Play.
Felix Von Hofe, Jed McIntosh and Thomas Malucelli will each have a group of women they have the opportunity to get to know on dates and share quality one-on-one with.
Executive producer Tim Ali recently shared with Mediaweek that the women will have more power than they’ve ever had on the show.
“We’ve introduced almost a bit of a Tribal Council feel at the Rose Ceremonies. Osher (Günsberg) holds court in a new open forum discussion with all the ladies in the house, giving them a chance to get anything off their chest they feel that they need to.
“It encourages conversation, and it’s given us some drama too, which is nice!”
