Chris Bukowski, the 25-year-old Chicago native recently booted from "The Bachelorette" will join the cast of ABC's "The Bachelor Pad."

ABC announced that Bukowski decided to join the third season of "The Bachelor Pad" after he was sent home by Emily Maynard on the eight episode of "The Bachelorette."

Maynard sent Chris home yesterday as she couldn't imaging spending the rest of her life with Chris.

"Bachelor Pad" is also hosted by Chris Harrison and will premiere July 23 at 8 p.m.

The series will also feature "The Bachelorette" villain Kalon McMahon who was kicked out after he referred to Maynard's daughter as "baggage."

"The Bachelor Pad" will feature 15 previous Bachelors and Bachelorettes and 5 fans venturing to find love and competing for a $250,000 prize.

Each week the contestants face challenges to compete for immunity and the chance to go on a date with contestants of their choice. The winner of each challenge can grant immunity to one of his or her dates by giving the person a rose.

The contestants vote amongst themselves, with the men voting off a woman and vice versa until one winner remains.
