Colton spoke with Us Weekly ahead of the premiere of his new reality show. He will be among the celebrities competing on the CBS show Beyond The Edge.

He calls the popular alums the franchise’s “money makers.”

“They benefit greatly off of our faces, off of our likeness [and] off of our stories. The only thing that they can do better is to follow up and make sure that you are mentally OK before they make decisions to make better TV over your mental health.” – Colton Underwood, Us Weekly.
