Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Monday, July 9, 2012

Mondays got a little bit busier — and a little bit better — as TNT starts off the final batch of THE CLOSER episodes and debuts the new series PERCEPTION.

Take a look at all of your options for tonight!

The Bachelorette | 8pm on ABC
“Episode 809”
Romantic adventures await Emily and the final three bachelors – Arie, Jef and Sean – as they travel to the tropical paradise of Curacao with the impending possibility of intimate overnight dates. There’s electricity and passion in the air during of these sand and surf excursions, as Emily continues to explore what her future would be like with each one of these potential partners. She is faced with extending an invitation to each bachelor to spend the night in a “fantasy suite.” However will this single mom trade her conscience in exchange for much needed private time with her bachelors?

Hell’s Kitchen | 8pm on Fox
“10 Chefs Compete”
Chef Ramsay once again pits the Blue Team against the Red Team in a high-stakes culinary challenge that forces the chefs to think on their feet. As he whittles down the playing field, Chef Ramsay adds to the intensity by inviting three very special diners to dinner service. Tune in to see who gives their special guests the VIP treatment and who chokes under the pressure.

Fear Factor | 9pm on NBC
“Leeches & Shaved Heads & Tear Gas, Oh My! – Part 1”
Contestants must put on a brave face when they are pushed to their limits in hopes of winning $100,000. In the first stunt, contestants are ripped off a cliff’s edge and sent hurtling into space on a bungee line attached to a helicopter 500 feet away. 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. (Part 1) Joe Rogan hosts.
