I spent 3 weeks at Atlantis in the Bahamas filming for abc's new show The Superstars. It is a new show that takes professional athletes from all different sports, adds a celebrity partner and pins the teams up head to head to compete in every sport imaginable. It was a lot of fun, and I met some amazing people. Look out for more updates as the show starts airing Tuesday night June 23rd only on abc!

Participants found out who their selected partners were only when they met for the first time at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. The six-episode series premieres TUESDAY, JUNE 23 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Every week a team will be eliminated until one team is ultimately crowned the winner. Competitors’ athletic prowess and strategy will be put to the test to excel in events including swimming, biking, running and kayaking, in addition to other head-to-head athletic challenges everyone must try to conquer.
