THE COMPETITION FOR LOVE AND MONEY BEGINS, ON ABC’S “BACHELOR PAD”

“Episode 101” — On ABC’s “Bachelor Pad,” SATURDAY, AUGUST 14 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET), the competition begins as 19 former castoffs from the “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” go head to head for $250,000 and possibly a second chance at love. The contestants will move into the “Bachelor” mansion to meet their fellow competitors, but before long they’ll face their first challenges – a good ole game of Twister, “Bachelor” style, a group date in the sun and under the stars, and a dreaded elimination. (Rebroadcast. OAD 8/9/10)
