Season 2, Episode 8
Only three beauties have made it to the finale. The judges pair the contestants with a real-life celebrity who parties with them all night, but, instead of getting to crash back at the hotel after a long night, the exhausted contestants are whisked to a new location to shoot a commercial for Las Vegas, and they must memorize lines, learn blocking and be at their absolute best. One completely cracks from lack of sleep. And, in a stunning game-changing moment, Vanessa Minnillo confronts the contestants and shows them exactly what the 'spy' cameras have captured when the contestants were unaware. Who epitomizes both inner and outer beauty? Who will be crowned the winner, getting $100,000 and a photo featured in People magazine? Find out in the season finale.

Season 2, Episode 7
It's down to the final four contestants, and this week's hidden camera inner beauty challenge puts each contestant in the proximity of a pregnant woman (actually, she's an actress pretending to be pregnant) who is drinking and smoking. Will any of the beauties speak up about this health hazard? The 'outer beauty' challenge -- to be the best blackjack dealer at the high rollers' table -- proves to be poor timing for one contestant who drank all day poolside, and a mortifying experience for another who doesn't know the rules of the game and has trouble with math. The winner of the blackjack challenge is chosen by the pit boss and will go on to the finale. Who will be sent home?

Season 2, Episode 6
The bevy of beauties is down to just five, and this week their challenge takes place at a wedding chapel in Vegas. They compete to take part as bridesmaids and groomsmen in weddings throughout the day -- and the first male and female contestant to be picked to participate in three weddings will be safe. One contestant doesn't get picked at all, prompting a total meltdown. And, in the inner beauty challenge, when each beauty encounters a bride's 'Momzilla' who is belittling her overweight daughter on her special day, which contestant will offer compassion to the crushed girl? Who will just laugh?

The remaining six contestants must quickly bone up on Vegas facts and tourism tips as they prepare to be tour bus guides. Who frets over reading the voluminous notes and confides that it's been 10 years since reading a book? Which contestant confidently tells the Vegas visitors that "the Venetian Hotel is so romantic, it's like...you're in Spain." Who can't pronounce Bugsy Siegel's name? And who tries to change their score in the competition when offered the chance?

Tonight's TV Hot List: Monday, July 19

The Bachelorette
8 pm/ET ABC
Roberto, Chris L. or Frank — who'll Ali choose? That's one question you might be asking as this romance sweepstakes enters the cavorting-and-canoodling-in-a-tropical-paradise stage. (This time it's Tahiti.) But another question might be: Who'll Frank choose? Rumor has it that Ali might not be the only lady in Frank's heart, and he was hesitant at times in Chicago last week. We'll see for certain tonight. In any event, Ali will pick the final winner Aug. 2 (next week is the "Men Tell All" show) in Bora Bora. — Paul Droesch
