WILL CHRIS DECIDE TO ALLOW AN ELIMINATED BACHELORETTE TO RETURN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN "BACHELOR" HISTORY?

THE CHEMISTRY SIZZLES BETWEEN CHRIS AND TWO OF THE WOMEN RIGHT FROM THE START, ON ABC'S "THE BACHELOR"

"Episode 1902" - The drama begins immediately, as the 22 remaining bachelorettes are shocked when Kimberly, who had been eliminated, suddenly returns to steal the Bachelor away and makes an emotional plea to give her a second chance, but will he? Now, just living down the road from the mansion, Chris starts the fun with six gorgeous women stripping down to sexy swimsuits for a rooftop pool party, but the competition heats up as the ladies have a tractor race on the streets of Los Angeles, with the winner getting special alone time with Chris. Megan captures the first one-on-one date of the season: a romantic helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. Eleven women face one of the most scary group dates ever as they shoot their way through a maze of zombies using paintballs as ammunition. One seductive woman is out to cause trouble for Chris at the cocktail party, on "The Bachelor," MONDAY, JANUARY 12 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Chris and his group of six beautiful women are getting to know one another up-close-and-personal at their rooftop pool party, but how will the bachelorettes react to a tractor race in bikinis? After a slow start, there is a one lucky winner, but Chris does a 180 turn and decides to spend time with another woman, who is not the winner, sending home five disappointed ladies. The young woman shares a secret with the Bachelor she hopes won't ruin her chances as they spend the night at a honky tonk bar. Although Chris is touched by her story, will it convince him that they have potential?

Megan and Chris joyously share a wonderful helicopter ride high over the Grand Canyon and then, during a picnic lunch the conversation turns serious. The young beauty opens up about the story of her father's tragic passing, but will their romantic kisses lead to enough chemistry for Megan to get a rose?

Eleven unsuspecting ladies have a real surprise in store when their limo rolls up to an abandoned lot. The terrified women are "attacked" by a horde of zombies with only paint ball guns to survive their night with the walking dead until their heroic Bachelor rescues them. However, after surviving the attack one fun-loving, trigger-happy bachelorette exhibits some bizarre antics and jaw-dropping declarations. On the romantic side, things between Chris and his first impression rose recipient Britt are burning up with red hot kisses, but will this chemistry lead him to give her the date rose?

The pressure is undeniable at the cocktail party as the women fight for Chris' attention before the rose ceremony. A very sexy lady reveals a secret to the women and then proceeds to make sure that her alone time with Chris is hot and heavy, leading to one of the steamiest make out sessions in Bachelor history.
