The famous mansion seen in the 'Bachelor' shows is getting a brand new makeover as the 'Bachelor Nation' franchise recently debuted its latest offering, 'Bachelor Mansion Takeover.' The design competition series features 12 contestants, all Bachelor Nation alums, who will return to the mansion to redesign the famous Bachelor pad that they once lived and loved in. They will put their design skills to the test in a series of high-stakes challenges and face emotional eliminations over the course of six episodes to win the grand prize of $100,000. The series will air on HGTV, starting on Monday, March 2, at 8 p.m. ET. 

Viewers without access to the HGTV channel need not worry, as they can watch ‘Bachelor Mansion Takeover’ for free online. Those without a cable connection can opt for a live TV streaming service. It usually comes with a free trial, allowing subscribers to watch their favorite shows free for a limited time. One of the best options is DirecTV, as it includes HGTV in its base Entertainment plan and offers new subscribers a five-day free trial. Additionally, the new Genre Packs let customers select their own channel lineup based on genres for the best viewing experience. Their MyEntertainment pack includes HGTV as an option and is available for just $34.99/month (excluding taxes and fees). If DirecTV does not work for you, try Sling TV, as it offers three monthly plans that include HGTV.
