Travis Kelce Is Doing a Bachelor Style Reality Show Where He Dates 50 Women This Offseason
Deadline – Fifty eligible women, one from each state in the U.S. will be invited to Los Angeles as Kelce searches for that special someone to become his lifelong “teammate.” Kelce will be joined by famous friends and family to help him along his journey, but in the series finale, only he can decide who is the right woman for him. The dating series has a twist, though. While Kelce will be deciding who stays in the house and who is sent home along the way, the women are able to strategically decide who is attending the all-important group dates. The debate becomes: do you pick your friends and keep those loyalties strong, or choose the “weakest” contenders to make yourself stand out? Lines will be drawn and friendships will be tested as the women pick and choose who gets the extra time with this football superstar. “On top of being a well-respected athlete, Travis has a fun-loving, over the top personality that draws people to him, and we are excited to give our viewers an up-close look at his search for love,” said Jeff Olde, EVP, Programming and Development, E!.
YUP. I’m pumped for this series. Getting caught up in ridiculously trashy TV is always a good time. Couple thoughts though:
1) My reaction to Gronk not being the star of this show:
Obviously we’re all sad that this isn’t Gronk. That’s a given. Watching Gronk go on group dates with 50 women that start as veiled 69 jokes and somehow devolve into shotgunning natty light and fist pumping would have been magical, must-watch TV for sure. But life’s not all rainbows and free guacamole so I’m gonna do my best to enjoy this fiasco of a show with Kelce as the centerpiece and ignore what could have been.
2) Having it be 1 chick from each of the 50 official states is dumb. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota are boned and not by Kelce. Just not a big enough talent pool to go toe-to-toe with the pride of Texas or California. And if Puerto Rico isn’t gonna pay any income taxes they can at least throw some eye candy our way on reality TV. Wake up E!
3) The date’s going well. Champagne’s flowing in the hot tub. Travis leans in for the kiss
