The Bachelor Winter Games

**The Bachelor Winter Games** premiered on February 13, 2018. It is a spin-off of the reality television game shows The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, and is a winter counterpart to the summer series Bachelor in Paradise. The show is hosted by Chris Harrison and Hannah Storm. It has been described by ABC as "an ode to the Winter Olympic Games", and will air as counterprogramming against NBC's coverage of the 2018 Winter Olympics. Ashley Brewer presents the play-by-play and live interviews during the games.

In the final episode, Ashley Iaconetti and Kevin Wendt were crowned as the victors of the Winter Games. As well as the winning couple, three other couples came of the show; Lily McManus-Semchyshyn and Courtney Dober, Lesley Murphy and Dean Unglert and Clare Crawley and Benoit Beauséjour-Savard who got engaged at the *After Show* despite having ended their relationship on the show.
