Did you see ABC’s Bachelor Pad Monday night?
In case you missed it -- or your DVR refused to record it, citing good taste -- here’s the highlights!
Host Chris Harrison begins the two-hour show by having the contestants play a mean-spirited (but hilarious) game in which the men and women -- each blindfolded, clad (of course) in skimpy swimwear, and wearing a target on their back -- repeatedly whip paintball at each other from behind.

The men lined up first, with host Harrison telling the women to pelt the man they least like. (Poor Jake, he’s probably still trying to “Shout” out all those paint stains from his trunks).
When it’s time for the men to pelt the women, Houston socialiate Erica Rose is repeatedly hit when Harrison asks the men which bachelorette is the least attractive. (Ouch!)

In the end, Michael Stagliano and Melissa Schreiber came out on top, earning them immunity from elimination and the opportunity to choose three people each to take on a date. (Michael REALLY pelted Erica hard with paintball in his final shot, but later expressed regret and invited her out on the group date -- too bad it ended up being at a spooky abandoned insane asylum.) During the group date, Michael ended up giving his ex-fiance Holly Durst the rose, saving her from possible elimination during the final rose ceremony.
Harrison then throws the contestants a curveball when he announces that TWO WOMEN would be going home and ALL THE MEN would be sticking around for another week. That news doesn’t sit well with Vienna Girardi, since everyone -- including Jake -- assumed the Dallas pilot would be jetting home on the men’s side. When Vienna whines and threatens to leave -- saying she can’t take seeing Jake for another week -- Harrison offers to call her a cab. (Kudos Chris!) Of course, Vienna stays. "I am not leaving this house because Kasey Kahl is here holding me and keeping me strong," she says.
