It's kind of like Bachelor in Paradise only it's set in cold and snow.

Anyone
watch this last night? I was going to but I decided to watch
the Olympics  I did check back a few times but the
first night first hour seemed kind of boring for me . I will
start watching this next week. BUT I should have watched the
second hour as that would have been more interesting. I
didn't think they would have an elimination already.
So
what did you think of the first night?
 
'The
Bachelor Winter Games' Series Premiere Recap: The Tears
Already Start Flowing as Couples Form
Quickly

Though The
Bachelor season 22 is in full swing, the franchise
is in a bit of a slump. Arie Luyendyk, Jr. is leaving a lot
to be desired as a charismatic lead. Things aren't quite
as fun or interesting as they should be. Yet riding in a
snow-covered sleigh filled with booze, desperation and tears
is The
Bachelor Winter Games!
The
newest spin-off for Bachelor
Nation is a take-off on the Winter Olympics. A group of
needy Bachelor
stars from America and other nations have been joined
together to compete against one another and for each
other's hearts. It's as stupid and wonderful as it
sounds.

The Games Begin
The
Bachelor Winter Games wastes no time in letting you know
exactly what type of show it's going to be -- and
that's hardcore, trashy fun. The American and
international contestants (but mostly American) make their
entrance through a literal parade. It goes on for far longer
than it needs to, but there are some definite highlights,
including:
A
single female Japanese contestant, Yuki, who speaks no
EnglishDean
Unglert (The Bachelorette
season 13) proving that he's done some
self-reflection and changed by checking out a woman's
behindA
solo German contestant who might very well be the Aryan Juan
Pablo 
Chris Harrison sporting a new beard, proving that he's
truly given up And
Santa Claus from Finland because why not at this
point?After
the parade concludes, there's some of the various Bachelor
tropes. A bunch of musicians you've never head of sing,
Trista and Ryan Sutter are trotted out (because
this does work sometimes, I promise!) and the alcohol
flows freely and quickly. 
Once
the contestants are suitably turned up, they are let into
the house where they will all be staying for the duration of
Winter
Games. Chris Harrison comes back out of hibernation and
informs them that Winter
Games will have a bit of a twist. Instead of just
handing out date cards, the cast will have to earn them by
competing in (humiliating) winter-themed
challenges. 
That's
all in the future. For now, the libations continue to flow,
and quickly some couples begin to emerge. Kevin, a Canadian
contestant, becomes the favorite of both The Bachelor
season 22's Bibiana and Ashley I. (who should need
no introduction at this point). Meanwhile, Lesley of The Bachelor
season 17 sets her sights on Dean. 
Lastly,
though, there is Josiah (The Bachelorette
season 13) and Ally (from The Bachelor
New Zealand). Josiah is still as cocky and oddly
charming as he was on The
Bachelorette. Meanwhile, Ally is the reason that The Bachelor
Winter Games is happy they're not live like the real
Olympics because she curses like a sailor from down under.
It's not a match that seems made in Heaven, but quickly
Josiah and Ally are all over each other, sticking their
tongues deep down each other's throats, while the Aryan
Juan Pablo, Christian, watches in the corner in a not-at-all
creepy way.
Biathlon-ing for Love 
The
next day, all tonsil hockey is forgotten for the first date
card challenge. Chris Harrison (and his depression beard)
informs the cast that the men and women will be competing in
a biathlon. There will be one winner from each group, and
they will be the only two people that will receive a date
card and be given the chance to go on an adventure with the
person of their choice.
The
contestants look precisely as ridiculous as the Bachelor
gods producers
want them to during the biathlon, and that's totally
insane. There's people falling from the jump. Ally ends
up going down immediately and nailing her tailbone, an
injury that Winter
Games promptly calls "cracked butt" (never
change, Bachelor). 
The
whole biathlon is amusing, if for no other reason than that
Chris Harrison must finally do some hosting and does a
play-by-play of the event. Of course, no one is watching
Winter Games to see the contestants do anything
athletic. Let's face it, all those muscles are just for
show. But, in any case, Rebecca of Sweden (don't worry
about remembering her; you don't need to) and Kevin of
Canada win the date cards. 
All
the focus here is on Kevin, as Ashley I. and Bibiana are
still competing for his attention ... sort of. Bibiana is
really the only one that Kevin  is interested in
pursuing. It wouldn't be a Bachelor
spin-off if Ashley I. wasn't totally devoted to a
man who only has eyes for someone else. This time, Ashley
has traded Jared in for Kevin. When Kevin gives Ashley
"subtle" clues that he's into her, she's
convinced that it's finally going to happen this time.
But, of course, Kevin asks Bibiana out and leaves Ashley in
a puddle of tears and mascara (never change,
Ashley).
The Bachelor Meets Survivor
The
dates themselves are pretty much completely ignored.
Although, unsurprisingly, Winter
Games finds a chance to get those money shots of people
making out. Evidently, there will never be enough disgusting
close-ups of people exploring each other's mouths with
their tongues. The make-outs are all really just a stalling
tactic for Chris Harrison to show up and drop a
bombshell. 
Unlike
most of Chris Harrison's hyperbole, this is an actually
dramatic twist. In Winter
Games, contestants won't go home during the typical
rose ceremony in which men and women alternate in giving out
roses. Instead, everyone will pick one person of the
opposite sex who they believe isn't there for the right
reasons. This will result, at least as the first rose
ceremony is concerned, in three men and two women going
home.
It's
a situation that's ripe for backstabbing, nastiness and
drama. In other words, it's excellent trashy TV being
all wonderful and disgusting in equal
measure. 
The
big topic of conversation, among the women, is that Josiah
isn't there for the right reasons, even though he seems
very into Ally and her broken butt (literally). Josiah tries
to do damage control to make everyone think he's okay,
which includes a hilarious "conversation" with
Yuki. Winter
Games is clearly trying to make Yuki the Chewbacca of
this particular franchise, and while that's probably
very offensive, it's so absurd that it can't help
but feel harmless. 
Leading
the anti-Josiah charge is The Bachelor
season 18 contestant Clare. When Clare isn't bashing
Josiah, though,  she's finding herself in a love
triangle with Benoit, the Canadian contestant who's not
Kevin, and the Aryan Juan Pablo, Christian. Both men are
very into Clare, and despite one of them (Christian)
throwing up all kinds of red flags, Clare's very into
both guys. Christian gets very possessive quickly, being
weirded out that Clare has already kissed Benoit. This is
rich, as Christian's backstory involves him being on the
German and
Swiss versions of The Bachelorette.
The new Juan Pablo is pulling into his misogynist station
full steam ahead.
The First Rose Ceremony 
Eventually,
the rose ceremony arrives, and the results are not at all
surprising. Basically, everyone who got no screen time ends
up going home. Not even Ashley I. can find a reason to weep
about that fact. 
For
posterity, though, the eliminations are: Too
Good for This Franchise Eric (from The Bachelorette
season 13)So
Bland He Wasn't Even There Jamey (also from The Bachelorette
season 13)The
Black Lauren, Lauren G (from The Bachelor
season 20) The
Not-So-Fun Asian Zoe (from The Bachelor
China)Lone
Sad Brit Laura (from The Bachelor
UK)This
means Josiah survives, but it's an otherwise
unremarkable end to a truly terrifically terrible
spin-off.
