The Bachelor (Monday, Jan. 26, 8/7c, ABC)

Blood is thicker than water, but there’s nothing thicker than the tension among the remaining ladies once bachelor Chris Soules’s three sisters visit. And they’re not just interested in catching up with their hunky brother … they’re checking out the women who want his heart and deciding which one he should take on a Cinderella-themed one-on-one date. Before that little Soules family reunion, however, Prince Farming heads to the hills for a racy overnight group date in the mountains that ends with one pushy contestant getting her mack on with Chris in his tent. Cue the tears! And keep ’em coming, because there’s also some major drama on tap for this week’s cocktail party, which finds the man of the hour himself warning the ladies that they can take a hike if they doubt his true intentions. Like any of them would willingly give up screen time!
