Jesse Palmer is bringing a little bit of the "Bachelor" to HGTV.
A dozen "Bachelor" alumni will reconvene at the Bachelor Mansion for HGTV’s newest design competition series "Bachelor Mansion Takeover," which premieres on March 2.
"One of the most famous homes in television history," according to HGTV, will "receive a long overdue makeover" with help from some of people who've walked down those very halls.
Contestants will get the chance to flex "their design and renovation skills" as they work to transform "iconic and never-before-seen Bachelor Mansion spaces" in weekly elimination challenges.
Jesse Palmer is joining former Bachelor‑franchise alumni for "Bachelor Mansion Takeover," a new HGTV renovation competition show.
In addition to weekly elimination challenges, competitors will take "bold design risks, form alliances and face shocking eliminations" as series’ judges Tayshia Adams, Tyler Cameron and a surprise guest judge evaluate their creativity and craftsmanship.
In the end, though, only one "Bachelor" alum will win bragging rights and a $100,000 cash prize.
"For the first time ever we’re pulling back the curtain and revealing the mansion as you’ve never seen it before," Palmer said in a statement. "Our 12 contestants have already lived through the twists and turns of 'The Bachelor' franchise."
