ARMED FORCES NETWORK — Following the commercial successes of The Bachelor, Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, and Golden Bachelor, Armed Forces Network is dipping its feet into the reality television market with The Geo-Bachelor. Camera crews followed married Army Captain Steven Sharpe at his Captain’s Career Course where women competed for his affections in hopes of ultimately becoming his TDY-wife.
“With my wife and two children back home in Fort Carson, my bed was growing extremely cold at night. The twenty women I met were a mixture of bartenders, nurse technicians, and even other women in my course. It was a hard-fought competition, so you’ll just have to watch and see who the lucky lady is at the end of it all,” said Sharpe. “Throughout the season, viewers will see women compete in various competitions such as ‘Who Can Shotgun a Busch Lite the Fastest?’, ‘Twerk-a-thon’, and ‘Tell Me About Your Daddy Issues’. It’s an epic romance told over twelve episodes.”
