USA NETWORK EXPANDS HUMP DAY PROGRAMMING WITH THE PREMIERE OF HOT NEW DATING SHOW "THE BIG D" ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14 AT 10 P.M. ET/PT
JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers Host as Recent Divorcees Search for Romance in Paradise with One Catch: Their Exes Are Along for the Journey
"The Big D" to Follow "Temptation Island" Season 5 Premiere for a Night of Spicy Dating Programming
· USA Network says "I do" to six divorced couples as they meet in Costa Rica for a second chance at love on the new competition series "The Big D," premiering Wednesday, June 14 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
· Hosted by dating show successfuls JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers, "The Big D" invites divorced couples into a tropical villa where they will pursue a second chance at love by dating the other divorcees in the house. Some of the romance hopefuls are looking to rekindle with their ex while others are eager to find a connection elsewhere. No matter the motive, there's a shared desire to find closure and a guarantee for drama as they watch their ex's form new bonds.
· The new singles should expect twists along the way as they can never be too sure who might join the party.
· Fletcher, Rodgers and resident relationship expert Dr. Jada Jackson guide the divorcees through their search for romance. In each episode, they oversee revealing relationship "ex-ercises" - fun activities designed to help the singles form connections, make peace with their former partners and finally overcome the issues keeping them from getting back in the game. Winning an "ex-ercise" will lead to a romantic date and safety from the upcoming elimination.
· During each elimination ceremony, led by Fletcher and Rodgers, the singles deliberate and vote out one person who isn't relationship material. Jealous exes might try to send their rival home or even defend their ex's honor. Everyone is rooting for love to prevail, but the complicated dynamics of divorce may get in the way of a second chance at love.
· The couple who ends the season in a committed relationship will be awarded $50,000.
