Another show that I will be recapping is ABC's The Bachelor Pad because it reminds of I Love Money.
Episode 1 Recap:
The first-ever season of Bachelor Pad kicked off on ABC last night as 19 of the most memorable former Bachelor and Bachelorettecontestants arrived at the mansion.
Chris Harrison - who co-hosts alongside Melissa Rycroft - explains that they will be competing for the second chance to find love and win $250,000.
Tenley (Jake's season) is first to arrive, and says she feels like it's time for a new beginning. She is followed by Jesse B (Ali's season) and Natalie (Jason's season), who express a mutual interest in each other. Next up is David (Jillian's season), Gwen (Aaron's season) and Jessie (Jake's season). They are followed by Jonathan (Ali's season) - who doesn't want to see Craig M - and Nikki (Jason's season), who doesn't want to see Juan because they dated briefly. Unfortunately, he is next to arrive and seems equally eager to avoid her.

The first competition is a giant game of Twister! Craig M is eventually declared the winner.
The next morning everybody talks about noises they heard in the mutual bedroom last night that suggested a couple were making out. Tenley thinks it was Craig M and Michelle, and although Michelle denies it, the rumor spreads throughout the house.
Craig M decides to take Jessie, Elizabeth and Gwen on the date to the beach and gives the rose to Jessie. As Elizabeth and Gwen head back to the mansion, Craig M and Jessie enjoy a private concert at the Greek Theater by Alex Band.
Back at the house, Natalie and Jesse B have hooked up, while Jesse K worries that the girls might not invite him on a date if they think Elizabeth "has dibs" on him and decides to confront her. Elizabeth admits she is "completely in love" with him but doesn't think he feels the same way. She adds that if he treats her poorly it could have negative consequences on him.
Meanwhile, Michelle is still upset about Tenley's rumor and confronts her in the bathroom. Tenley later says Michelle had her foot on the door and she couldn't get out, describing the experience as "scary".
The next day Juan apologizes to Nikki but she isn't sure if he's being sincere. Krisily suggests voting off the strong male competitors, although Natalie immediately shares this strategy with David. Elsewhere, Elizabeth seems to suggest to Jesse K that he should say he loves her and is sorry about hurting her because it could help his strategy.

The girls each separately vote for the man they want to leave the mansion, and vice versa for the men before Chris announces the result. Craig M and Jessie already have roses so they are safe this week. The two people eliminated are Michelle and Juan.
Episode 2 Recap:
Natalie admits that she initially came for the money but now she's being distracted by Jesse. Jesse says he really trusts her and wants to get to know her. He adds that it isn't a strategy but he realizes the girls are voting off the guys so it probably helps him. Elsewhere, Kovacs also wonders if being in a couple is a better strategy than being alone.
Meanwhile, Peyton worries that she is at a disadvantage because she doesn't know anybody, and Gia wonders if the boys will want to vote her off because she has a boyfriend at home.

Chris and Melissa introduce this week's competition - a pie eating contest! Krisily decides not to participate because she had her gall bladder removed a year ago and can't digest fat. The girls go first and end up vomiting into buckets as the boys watch. It's a close race between Tenley and Gia - who gets some tips from Wes - and Gia ends up winning the rose.
The boys go next and Chris jokes that Craig M is using his hair to soak up the pie. Tenley wants Kiptyn to win, but weatherman Jonathan scoops the victory and the rose. Kovacs is annoyed that Jonathan won because he should be on the "chopping block" this week, while Craig M knows he is at risk unless he gets a date from Gia.
Gia and Jonathan discuss game tactics. Gia thinks it will be a popularity contest until the end and they need to break down the established alliances. She suggests he needs to keep Krisily, Peyton or Gwen safe to secure his position.

They arrive at a warehouse and meet Melissa, who explains they will be making body art on their date. Jonathan dons a Speedo and the girls put on their bikinis before slathering paint on themselves and rolling around a giant canvas on the floor.
Jonathan later decides to work on his gameplay. Peyton suggests the house is about to split into the people who know each other versus those who don't, and Jonathan thinks they need to get Kiptyn eliminated to break up the group. Ashley agrees the powerhouse needs to be broken up but she's nervous because she's close to some of them.
Jonathan then chats to Gwen and says she is the girl he'd be most likely to date. They share conversation about their common interests and he gives her the rose. Meanwhile, Ashley says she did commit to Jonathan but because she didn't get the rose she doesn't know where she will go from here.

Later that night, Jessie talks to Dave in the hot tub and suggests she could play for the cool kids but also stay in with the outsiders. They seal the deal with a kiss but don't know that Krisily has been listening, and informs the others what has happened.
Elsewhere, Jesse thinks that Gia is more girlfriend material than Natalie. He tells Natalie that he's heard rumors about her hooking up with other guys. She says at one point she liked Kovacs a lot but now she likes Jesse. However, Jesse isn't sure that being in a relationship is a good idea now. Meanwhile, Gia has a new plan to save the outsiders - voting off Kiptyn.

Craig M and Jessie are eliminated.
The next morning Gia tells Jonathan they have five girls on their side and Craig M will get the rose today, although Jonathan isn't sure about that. Jonathan then says he has Ashley on their side but Gia and Peyton are both skeptical.
