She would absolutely kill it.  

If they're going to pass it off as an actual games/athletics comp, not just a debaucherous sex fest, hot sporty tomboys should be first on the list, IMO.  

MAKE IT HAPPEN, FLEISS!

OMG yes pls to Lily!!!!! That I would watch and jasmine and HOT bod Mike from Canada!!! Also Just to add Lily was or still is in LA !!

This could be a cute format. I'm interested. This is a first for me in a long time for this franchise.

I thought BIP was a bust overall this year as aside from a very few the dating component was a wipeout.
If the games focus more on competitive sport it could actually be very entertaining, fans would get to know a different side to the personalities of "all stars", and it could bring more fun to the franchise brand. I'm tired of the needy types
I'm game to watch the first epi.
My picks:
Jasmine (CA) - my fav ever Bette, no drama, and legit outdoorsy
Mike (CA) - he's still current, athletic, big personality but kinda laid back as well
Elise (Au) - a real athlete and also no drama
Laurena (Au) - ok, very dramatic but IMO the best diva of any franchise so why settle for less?

No one else Canadian stands out to me. Any clue as to how many participants per country?
Lots of choice from Au.  
Great to include Japan.  I've never watched so it will be a good cultural exchange element.

I could see the franchise using a Bach nation peep instead of CH to host. CH fits with Bette/Bach but not so much BIP IMO so this show is an opportunity to switch it up.

Bachelorette Canada: I'd like to see Mikhel but can't see him doing it and he may still have a gf. David P but he may have a gf also. Mike would be good. I'm not sure I see Jasmine doing it. I'm so over Daniel.

I think one of the biggest draws for me is the cast of totally new people from the other international franchises. I am not as interested in seeing the re-tread drama fest filled moldy old USA cast.

There was an article a couple days ago where Chris Harrison said he is also producing the show.  The favorites he'd like to see return are the twins (why??????) and Ryan Sutter, indicating that it wouldn't be limited single people!!!!  I'd love to see some of the married folks compete and give advice to the singles.  The article also has Mills saying the international participants would be from the Canada, Australia, Japan, and UK formats.  Is there any info here about the Japan or UK shows?   I agree it would be fun to see people from the other shows, but please, please, please no more twins!!

Here's a link to the article:THR:  Chris Harrison Previews Bachelor Winter Games

We have very active Aussie and New Zealand sleuthing threads, with popular cast. We have Ukraine and even a season or two of Bachelor France, but never a UK or Japan category.

I would much rather have cast from other franchises, and cast from previous US seasons, just not the last couple of 'ette's or the last couple of Bachelors.

The twins? Blech.

ITA @Kashathediva I don't watch any of the Internationals except Canada so they're all new to me.

If they don't have to be single then it opens it up a lot more.

Bachelor Japan aired on Amazon for the first time this Spring. It may have been the first time ever ... not certain.

I want to watch that Japanese season so badly now that I know it exists!  Thanks for the pics, @notarose.  I'm going to go on a hunt for online links - will report back if I find any.  

Considering all the whackadoodle games shows they have in Japan, if there is a serious gaming component to the show the Japanese contestants would definitely go all-in, IMO.  

The Winter Games has so much potential IMO - I hope it turns out to be as good as I'm imagining it to be right now!

ETA:  Trailer for Bach Japan.  It looks SO GOOD!  I love the fact that they have clips from all the international shows at the beginning.  
Multicultural Bachie Love Montage!

If there has only been this one season, I guess the contestants will be from this selection of girls?

Lots of diversity this season and franchise. I guess the USA franchise has made some strides.

In the event Jasmine reps the Canadian franchise, great insight into her personality. Very refreshing IMO
