Listen, as much as I love a reality dating show, I could really use a new competition series to obsess over right now, and thankfully, Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network is here to fill that void. On Monday, April 6, Unwell Winter Games—a four-episode reality competition—premieres on YouTube, which will follow 16 of the most “polarizing” personalities in pop culture today as they compete, form alliances, and (undoubtedly) start drama against the backdrop of a luxe chalet in Park City, Utah. And when they say “polarizing” in the press release, they mean it, ’cause this lineup makes the latest House of Villains cast seem chill.
Following the April 6 premiere, new episodes will continue to drop daily on the Unwell YouTube channel through April 9 sooooo…this is your sign not to make any plans next week. Alex even dropped a lil teaser to get fans excited:
Wondering who’s taking part in the games? In addition to host Adam Waheed and commentators Graydon Cutler and Grace O’Malley, scroll on to see the hiiiighly controversial reality stars/influencers you can expect to see in the Unwell Winter Games.
