Episodes
The Arrivals
In the highly anticipated series premiere, hosted by CHRIS HARRISON and former Bachelor contestant MELISSA RYCROFT, the competition begins as 19 former participants from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette move into the Bachelor mansion to meet their fellow competitors. It isn't long before they face their first challenges: a game of Twister, Bachelor style; a group date in the sun and, later, under the stars; and a dreaded elimination.
Cutie Pies
On the second episode of Bachelor Pad, 17 contestants from previous seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette continue vying for a shot at $250,000 and a second chance at love. In store for the housemates this week are a stomach-churning challenge, an opportunity to bring out their inner artist and another dreaded elimination.
Trouble in Paradise
Fifteen contestants continue to compete for $250,000 and a second chance at love. This week, lips will lock and there will be overnight dates in Sin City (Las Vegas). Plus, there's a high-speed chase for immunity and another dreaded elimination.
Questionable Material
As 13 contestants continue to compete for $250,000 - and a chance at love - the stakes get tougher. This week, an emotionally bruising competition sends three women packing. Plus, there is a fantasy date, a couple "takes flight" and, of course, another dreaded elimination. Who will be eliminated this week?
Episode 5
Eleven contestants may begin the competition this week, yet three women are sent packing early on in the episode. Which eight contestants - four women and four men - will continue? This week also features a game of Spin the Bottle and an overnight date where a "tough guy" opens up. Plus, one of the couples sneaks into the fantasy suite. Will they be caught? Who will be eliminated?
Finale
This week's competition is different from any other one before. Each couple will have a professional dancer from Dancing With The Stars to teach them how to cut a rug. Tenley has been trained in independent dances but will have an inexperienced partner in Kiptyn. So, it's anyone's ballgame! The couple that wins will choose the other couple for the finals.

Pawn Stars
Long before banks, ATMS and check-cashing services, there were pawn shops. Pawning was the leading form of consumer credit in the United States until the 1950s, and pawn shops are still helping everyday people make ends meet. Pawn Stars takes you inside the colorful world of the pawn business. At the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop on the outskirts of Las Vegas, three generations of the Harrison family - grandfather Richard, son Rick and grandson Corey - jointly run the family business, and there's clashing and camaraderie every step of the way. The three men use their sharp eyes and skills to assess the value of items from the commonplace to the truly historic, including a 16th-century samurai sword, a Super Bowl ring, a Picasso painting and a 17th-century stay of execution. It's up to them to determine what's real and what's fake, as they reveal the often surprising answer to the questions on everyone's mind, "What's the story behind it?" and "What's it worth?"
