What's On Tonight: Fear Factor, American Ninja Warrior, The Bachelorette

Fear Factor, 8 p.m., NBC

“Contestants connected to a helicopter via bungee cord are ripped off a cliff's edge; other stunts include being submerged in a tub full of leeches and navigating through a five-story building engulfed in flames.” This sounds like my kids’ summer thrill list.

American Ninja Warrior, 9 p.m., NBC

The finals. I don’t know about you, but this turned out to be a big bust for us. Actually boring to watch. Not sure why. Needs Wipeout sound effects, maybe?

The Bachelorette, 8 p.m., ABC

“Emily and the three remaining bachelors travel to Curacao; Emily faces the prospect of the fantasy suite.” And by that, of course, they mean ‘sex’.
