The 3rd season of Bachelor Pad premiered on July 23, 2012.
The show stars men and women eliminated from various seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette who compete for a $250,000 prize. The show may also represent "a second chance at finding love" for those rejected by previous Bachelors and Bachelorettes.
The contestants live together in a mansion and take part in challenges to prevent elimination, go on dates with contestants of their choice, and choose other contestants to eliminate.
This season was the show's last.
The winner of season three was Nick Peterson (season 7 of The Bachelorette).
