‘[Summer Games] will be its own thing and it’ll run — it’ll be Bachelorette Summer Games,’ Rob said. 

‘What’s nice about Summer Games, is when we did Winter Games, Bachelor was still airing, so it was a lot… this is Summer Games, and then Paradise will start,’ he said. 

The upcoming season would air around the same time as the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, and will see the cast compete in a variety of outdoor sports. 

‘I think it’s going to be really fun. We found a really great place to hold it…I mean, it’s going to be so fun seeing these people in these great, you know, track and field and swimming… this is a real Olympics,’ he continued.

An Olympics inspired spin-off ran on ABC at the time of the Winter Olympics back in 2018, and brought together single stars from American and international editions of The Bachelor. 

Several real-life couples were formed as a result of Winter Games, including Ashley Iaconetti and Kevin Wendt, and Clare Crawley and Benoit Beausejour-Savard, who briefly became engaged. 

However, Rob floated the idea of casting taken Bachelor alums on this coming summer edition.

‘I still think we need to look at the creative, and it’s like, do you — if somebody is with somebody or not, can they be in it? ‘Cause there’s certain people that you’d love to see — I mean, I’d love to see Jordan [Rodgers] or Colton [Underwood].’

Even JoJo Fletcher ‘would love to do it too.’
