The Bachelor Mansion is getting a major makeover thanks to some of the franchise’s biggest stars.
Several members of Bachelor Nation are putting their stamp on the ABC dating franchise’s iconic home on the new HGTV series Bachelor Mansion Takeover. Hosted by Jesse Palmer, the series follows 12 former contestants from The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, The Golden Bachelor, and The Golden Bachelorette — each with home renovation and design experience — as they transform the home’s most memorable rooms one by one.
“In each episode, the competitors will take bold design risks, form alliances and face shocking eliminations all while being evaluated on their creativity and craftsmanship by the series’ judges Tayshia Adams and Tyler Cameron who will be joined by a surprise guest judge from Bachelor Nation or the HGTV family,” the show’s description reads. “In the end, only one Bachelor alum will win bragging rights and a $100,000 cash prize.”
Episode 1, which premiered on March 2, saw the cast tackle the mansion’s bedrooms for their first task. While Dean Bell scored immunity, his risky Santorini-inspired bedroom design — complete with a blue ceiling — cost the guys’ team the episode’s win.
Episode 2 saw the guys and the girls split into groups of three to redo the three areas of the Rose Room: the living space, the candle room, and the bar area. In addition to adding new paint and furniture, the teams also had to incorporate the “essence of a rose” into their designs.
Episode 3 took things outside, as the teams transformed the two areas of the mansion’s pool area. One team gave the upper level a much-needed facelift, while the other turned the pool’s lower level into a relaxing wellness retreat.
The group headed back inside for another boys vs. girls competition in Episode 4. The two teams renovated different areas of the mixer room, and all but one member of the losing team was sent home.
