Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Monday, July 16, 2012

Looking at all these television options on a post-Comic-Con Monday feels a little overwhelming, but hopefully you guys will be able to appreciate them better than I will.

Take a look at all of your choices for tonight…

The Bachelorette | 8pm on ABC
“The Men Tell All”
It’s an exciting, unpredictable reunion viewers won’t want to miss, as the most memorable bachelors from this season – including Sean, Chris, Kalon, Ryan, Doug, John “Wolf,” Tony and Travis – return to confront each other and Emily one last time on national television to dish the dirt and tell their side of the story. Tensions flare as the guys face off about one of the most disliked bachelors this season — Ryan. And one of the most controversial men, Kalon, takes the hot seat and gets a severe dressing down by the rest of the bachelors over his behavior. Sean, a devastated fan-favorite, also takes the hot seat, revealing how he handled his broken heart. Emily and Chris Harrison look back at some of the unforgettable moments of the season, as well as some unseen gems. A special preview of the third season of “Bachelor Pad” will also be presented

Highlights from subsequent stunts include contestants being submerged in a tub full of leeches before having to consume 10 leeches; teammates working their way up a five-story building engulfed in flames, before being rocketed off the roof in an enormous explosion; and, teams facing their fears as they are confronted with the challenge of being tear gassed, tattooed or having their head and eyebrows shaved.
