Melissa Rycroft who you may remember as The Bachelor winner turned dumpee by Jason Mesnick will be returning to co-host the new ABC show Bachelor Pad with Chris Harrison. The show will premiere on August 9, and it will be set up in a Big Brother type fashion where the 20 former contestants will live together and compete in challenges for a chance to win $250,000, and, most likely, hook up. Rycroft will be there to help with the competitions and rose ceremonies. Since being dumped on the show Rycroft has gone on to do Dancing With the Stars and Good Morning America, Chris Harrison added that she was chosen because the two have remained good friends and that she is an obvious fan favorite. Melissa is now married to Tye Strickland.

BC will be airing it’s second reality show wedding on March 8 as Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney exchange vows. The show will also cover their bachelor and bachelorette parties, event planning, as well as Molly’s dress fitting. Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter’s ABC wedding brought in 17.1 million viewers so it was a no brainer for ABC to want to air the wedding of Jason and Molly. Jason is the bachelor famous for proposing to Melissa Rycroft and then dumping her on television and then choosing runner up Molly Malaney. Molly and Jason got engaged in New Zealand in October.
