After an edgy season premiere pitting the Super Fans against the Bachelor alumni, love takes center stage. In the second challenge, "Rhythmic Gymnastics," the women will fail to find their groove while the men will try to make up for their lack of grace with sheer attitude. On one 3-on-1 date, a fan favorite will find unexpected sparks at a rock concert with a beautiful housemate. The other 3-on-1 date features a race for a woman's heart - with a soapbox derby! Back at the mansion, the pressure mounts on all the contestants, leading to a shocking pre-dawn decision.
Episode 3
After a couple of fans managed to dodge elimination last week, they hit their stride both strategically and romantically. The third challenge of the season will plunge the contestants up to their heads in "Hot Sludge Funday," an ice cream–themed obstacle course. Awaiting the winners are 3-on-1 dates to relive high school memories and to get shined up at Madame Tussaud's famous Hollywood wax museum. Back at the house, contestants will start coupling up romantically, including one fan who, after being spurned by the cast member of her dreams, will have better luck on the rebound.
Episode 4
This week's challenge gets personal when contestants answer highly controversial questions about each other in pursuit of a rose. Awaiting the winners are the first 1-on-1 dates - one date is to play ball at Dodger Stadium; the other is an action-packed movie adventure in downtown L.A. Meanwhile, drama is high at the house, as girls start fighting over the men they're coupled with, both strategically and romantically.
Episode 5
Contestants compete this week to stack tea cups in a challenge titled "Great Fall of China." One-on-one dates include a jewel-splashed Pretty Woman–style tour of Los Angeles and a night roughing it at a remote campsite. Love is blooming all around the house, but a shocking twist during the cocktail party sends one confident player scrambling for survival.
Episode 6
A house rivalry heats up, leading to a surprise elimination. The week's challenge puts the contestants up on stage to perform in a spelling bee. If the couple everyone wants to see gone wins the challenge, the stronger alliance will have no choice but to cut out one of its own couples when the stakes rise. One-on-one dates include a romantic hoedown at a barn and a day exploring the beauty of the Channel Islands.
Episode 7
With $250,000 close at hand and a shocking victory in a karaoke challenge, a conflicted contestant must choose between strategy and loyalty… and possibly betray a best friend. This week offers two challenges. The first is a "sudden death" dangling competition in which competitors depend on their partners' knowledge of Bachelor Pad trivia to keep them from plummeting down into a pool. The second challenge is a karaoke competition, played out in front of a crowd of 500 at a legendary Hollywood concert venue - with a very special surprise guest. The couple who receives roses at the end can decide who to take with them to the finals, but trust vanishes when the couple can't agree on whether to go with loyalty or strategy.

Find out which couples are still together when the house relationships are put in the spotlight.

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?"
