Tonight's TV Hot List: Monday, Jan. 31, 2011

The Bachelor
8/7c ABC
Brad seems to prefer complainers (Ashley H. and Michelle) to cheaters (the departed Stacey). But by how much? Michelle had to rappel down the side of a skyscraper for her rose, and Ashley H. had to wait till the very end of the rose ceremony. And tonight, in Las Vegas, she has to go on one of those dreaded two-on-one dates (to Cirque du Soleil's Viva ELVIS show). Her competition: Ashley S., who won the first rose. Brad takes eight gals (including Emily, whose late fiancé was a NASCAR driver) to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. And Shawntel snares the one-on-one date. The good news: It's a shopping spree. Not so much fun: Brad wants to hear about her work. She's an undertaker. — Paul Droesch

Lie to Me9/8c Fox The series wraps up business tonight for Season 3. Maybe forever, too, because Fox failed to pick up the "back nine" order for the rest of the season, and that's often a signal that the ax is next. But ratings haven't been bad, and the cop show that's bumping the Lightman Group, The Chicago Code, comes with the pedigree of The Shield creator Shawn Ryan. So you never know. In their swan song for now, Cal and Co. take the case of a social-networking entrepreneur who fears that her partner's squeezing her out. Her fears are justified, to say the least: She turns up dead. — Paul DroeschGreek9/8c ABC FamilyCappie has planned his share of parties, but for this year's homecoming he really wants to go all out with an Everest theme.

Elsewhere, BFFs Casey and Ashleigh get into a fight over Ashleigh's hesitancy to move out and plunge into the working world. — Jennifer Sankowski
