Bachelor Pad: smut galore
The Bachelor Pad is the Incredible Hulk of reality TV shows: it’s so big, and so raging, that it practically bursts at the seams with smut.
If the previews are any indication, expect plenty of sizzle and seduction this season. But what else can you expect when assembling a group of people whose wardrobes seem to be made up of muscle shirts and bikinis?
One unlikely hookup coming this season for those familiar with the franchise: egomaniacal villain Kalon McMahon and good girl Lindzi Cox. (It’s OK, I had to look up who they were, too.)
Want more of what’s to come? Here are some choice quotes from our noble bachelors and bachelorettes:
“I didn’t think you were going to attack her.” “She’ll throw her body at a dead dog.” “You think you can just spend the night with me and the next morning go and take Sarah?”
Glasses are shattered. Knives are brandished. Love triangles are formed (probably even some love octagons).
Of course, these lovelorn moneyseekers can win varied challenges to avoid elimination — from a spelling bee to a foot race while balancing tea cups. One twist this season is the addition of mega-fans to the contestant mix — something that rubs the returning reality “stars” the wrong way. Enjoy. (ABC, Omni — 9 p.m.)
