During the 2018 Winter Olympics, which were broadcast by NBC, other networks generally placed their main lineups of scripted programming on hiatus, barring The CW for selected series. However, the networks continued to air most of their unscripted reality programs as an alternative, with ABC airing "The Bachelor" and "Shark Tank", and CBS airing "The Amazing Race". ABC and CBS also scheduled spin-offs of their other signature reality franchises to specifically compete against the Olympics, including "The Bachelor Winter Games" (which featured alumni of "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" competing in winter sports challenges), and the first U.S. season of "Celebrity Big Brother" (which aired its season finale against the closing ceremony). ABC had planned a follow-up to air in August 2020 against the 2020 Summer Olympics, "The Bachelor Summer Games", but production was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic (which led said Games to be postponed to 2021).
