Bachelor Winter Games - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

@natik thank you so much! Some serious eye candies here. I wouldn't mind seeing them to be in the US franchise. My only complaint is most of the girls are too young, but they are all so gorgeous!

@notarose I remember him too! He is hot!

@GuardianAngel @sdmom You are welcome!

@sdmom I guess it`s a culture thing. In Russia, Ukraine and Belarus it`s normal to be married at 19, 20 or 21. It`s actually not normal for young women to not be married by the age of 25. People are calling you "old maid" and talking behind your back what went wrong with you and that you are too old.

@natik thanks for the explanation, that makes sense. Now I am looking forward to the show if we get to see contestants from different nations.

I'm not crazy about contestant about other countries since I won't know any of them.

I knew all the BIP contestants and stopped watching
In Bach/Bette we usually only know the lead.

If it's real competitions and less of the OTT drama, fakeness and awful story board of late that Bach, Ette and BIP have been, then I'll watch an episode or two, at least. And if having other countries represented means we'll see less of Ben and Nick's girls and Jojo and Rachel's guys, I'm all for it.  I'm OK with new faces, fingers crossed they are more likeable than 99.99% of the cast from the last few seasons of the US versions. I'm really hoping we get some of the couples on competing and some old Bach nation peeps.

JMOAA

@Ladybug82 Exactly!

ITA and spot on @notarose 

I think it will be great to have a mix of contestants and especially those from other countries. In fact, I am only watching because of them being included 

I'm also hoping they have real competitions and not something drama related and based on popularity.

Yes please  I've been down a luge run and all it requires is brief safety/technique instruction so there is no reason to have snowball toss type competitions. Plus, any cast member applying knowing they are repping their country should have the good sense to assume that some degree of background in winter sport could be required. If they all know how to downhill ski and skate then they can adapt to X country, slalom, snowshoeing, and snowboarding. Anyone can sled or mush. A pairs/dance figure skating competition would be really humorous. So many potential "real" events.
Of course it's a franchise show so there will be some "date" aspect but I think it would be novel and interesting if that aspect was less about show-type contrived dates and more about people just doing something lowkey and having conversations. Since Bach is airing at the same time there is an opportunity here to do something less contrived.

I'd take almost anyone I don't know over some of those I do, especially ones like the twins, Ashley I, Daniel ...........
