Bachelor Pad Season 2 Episode 3, Airing: August 22, 2011 8:00 PM on ABC. The series will reunite 20 contestants from the previous 13 seasons of The Bachelor and five seasons of The Bachelorette. Contestants will live in a house and compete in challenges, some inspired by incidents from past seasons, concluding each week with Big Brother-style evictions.

Previous Stories: Now Season: Eighteen onetime "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" contestants (estranged 2010 "Bachelor" couple Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi among them) move into the franchise's Malibu mansion to vie for a cash prize and, perhaps, to find romance. The challenge in the opener: "The Hook Up." Couples suspended 10 feet above ground must cling to each other, with the couple clinging the longest being spared from facing elimination, a fate that will befall one guy and one gal.

Hosted by Chris Harrison, "Bachelor Pad" returns with its most controversial cast to date, as 18 unforgettable characters from the "Bachelor" franchise - those we love and those we love to hate gather back at the mansion to live together and compete for $250,000 and possibly a second chance at love. The drama begins as the contestants move into the "Bachelor" mansion to meet their fellow competitors on a night where Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi will come face to face for the first time since their unforgettable primetime showdown. In their first challenge, the "Hook Up," the men and women will pair off into couples clinging to each other 10-feet high. The couple who can hang on to each other the longest will win the challenge and be saved from elimination. At the end of the episode, one man and one woman will be voted off.

The challenge: "Target on My Back." Gals throw paint-soaked balls at guys they want thrown out of the Bachelor Pad (and vice versa). Kasey and Vienna target Jake. The losers face elimination while the winners go on three-on-one dates, either to a haunted hospital or a night on a yacht.

Now Episode: As the guys and gals face a synchronized-swimming challenge, Jake finds (and Kasey and Vienna lose) allies. Meanwhile, Melissa gets mad at Blake, and the formerly affianced Michael and Holly share what might be a defining moment in their relationship.
