"It was not easy": Vyacheslav Kravtsov described his first impressions of filming the show "The Bachelor"

The main protagonist of the 15th season of the popular romantic reality show "The Bachelor", Vyacheslav Kravtsov, has shared his emotions about the start of the project for the first time. The famous Ukrainian basketball player, who previously played in the NBA, told his social media followers about how the first party went and what difficulties the film crew faced at the very beginning of their work.

Weather trials and the atmosphere of the first meeting

According to the athlete, the starting filming day turned out to be incredibly eventful, filled with meetings and sincere conversations. As STB TV channel representatives previously reported, the party took place on July 11, 2026, at a suburban complex near Kyiv, and the filming itself lasted for more than a day. The participants had to fight not only for the main character's attention but also against anomalous weather: during the day, the temperature reached 37 degrees, and by evening, a severe thunderstorm with heavy rain and gusty winds began, forcing the crew to temporarily suspend work.

Personal insights and the search for sincerity

Vyacheslav Kravtsov confessed that participating in the project helped him discover new facets of his own personality. The atmosphere of the show and communication with the contenders for his heart allowed the hero to realize that he is a much more sensitive and creative person than he previously assumed. Before the start of filming, the athlete noted that in a future partner he values sincerity, good manners, the desire for development, and respect for personal space above all, emphasizing that a woman having children is not an obstacle to building a strong relationship.

Controversial data

Serious discussions have unfolded around the figure of the new protagonist in the media space. While the show's creators and fans look forward to the premiere scheduled for October 16, 2026, on STB and Netflix, critical publications have also appeared online. Several Ukrainian media outlets and social media users recalled Kravtsov's past sports contracts, causing a mixed reaction from the audience and demands to reconsider the choice of the project's key figure.

Premiere and broadcast details

The project organizers announced the exact schedule for the release of episodes. The premiere episode of the 15th season of "The Bachelor" will air on October 16, 2026, at 19:00 on STB. In addition, on the same evening at 20:30, the first episode will become available on Netflix in Ukraine, with each subsequent episode appearing on the streaming platform an hour and a half after the start of the television broadcast.
