Who is judging ‘Bachelor Mansion Takeover’?
Over six episodes, the Bachelor Mansion Takeover contestants will put their design and renovation skills to the test in weekly elimination challenges that require them to transform Bachelor Mansion spaces. In episode 1, they’ll be tasked with refreshing the mansion’s tired bunk rooms. Other weekly elimination challenges will focus on the rose room, the pool area, the mixer room, the terrace, and the kitchen.
In each episode, the competitors will take bold design risks, form alliances, and face shocking eliminations. Judging their efforts will be Tayshia Adams and Tyler Cameron. For each judging, the pair will also be joined by a surprise guest judge from Bachelor Nation or the HGTV family, including Hannah Brown, interior designer Nate Berkus, actress and Bachelor fan Rachel Bilson, former Bachelorette JoJo Fletcher, HGTV host and designer Christina Haack and former Bachelor Sean Lowe.
The winner goes home with bragging rights and $100,000.
“For the first time ever we’re pulling back the curtain and revealing the mansion as you’ve never seen it before,” said Jesse Palmer, who is hosting the show. “Our 12 contestants have already lived through the twists and turns of The Bachelor franchise. They know this is not going to be easy. And the clock is ticking because this renovation has to be finished before a new season of The Bachelorette begins.”
