Antonio Sabato, Jr. (ABC)
Antonio Sabato Jr.'s (ex-Jagger, GH: Night Shift & GH) “My Antonio” will premiere on August 16 at 10:00 PM on VH1. There will also be a couple of twists, as Antonio’s ex-wife shows up as a contestant and his mother will be there to help him choose which lady is right for him.
The series is said to open with Antonio swimming to shore to meet the 13 women he will choose from and will make an elimination within the first few minutes of the show.

Look out ladies because 'Jagger' is ready for love and he's bringing VH1 cameras along for the ride. Early next year, fans of "The Bachelor", as well as "Rock of Love" and other reality romance shows, will have something new to feast their hearts on when Antonio Sabato Jr. looks for love in a very public way. He's handsome, he's a great dad, and at 36, he's ready to settle down with the right woman.
Because Sabato is an alum of the soap genre, (Antonio has been on General Hospital, Bold and the Beautiful, Melrose Place and is currently on GH: Nightshift), the yet-to-be-named reality show will take on a soap-like format as the bachelor puts his contestants through various challenges that she might find herself enduring if she were a soap star. Will she have to face off with her own twin or fake amnesia? Nobody knows just yet, but the ultimate goal will likely be a love scene in the end, wouldn't you think? Through it all, Antonio will be the narrator, as well as the leading man, and is also on board to exec produce.
