'The Real Housewives of Atlanta'

Good morning, and welcome to a dating-heavy edition of “7 shows.” But if you’re not into the looking-for-love-on-TV genre, hang on till Sunday, when ABC launches a “sexy, provocative thriller” about astronauts on a six-year mission.

‘The Bachelorette’
7 p.m. Monday on ABC
Will Jillian wind up with Kiptyn or Ed? Or somebody else — say, the eliminated Reid? A surprise is teased in tonight’s two-hour finale, shot in Hawaii. The biggest surprise, of course, would be for a successful relationship to result from the “Bachelor” franchise. I say, as I’ve said before: Run, Jillian, run!

‘More To Love’
8 p.m. Tuesday on Fox
A plus-size fellow named Luke searches for “a special lady” from among a group of curvy girls (each of whom has her weight displayed on screen along with her name and age). What do you bet executive producer Mike Fleiss (”The Bachelor”) has a bunch of bony Size 0’s waiting in the wings to compete for the promise rings Luke hands out?

‘Holidate’
9 p.m. Wednesday on SoapNet’
Women swap cities to test the water in a fresh dating pool in a new series that begins with a New York-Los Angeles trade.

‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’
9 p.m. Thursday on Bravo
Season 2 begins with DeShawn out and Kandi (a former member of Xscape) in.

‘Mrs. Washington Goes to Smith’
8 p.m. Saturday on Hallmark
After a divorce, Cybill Shepherd goes back to Smith College to finish her degree in a movie with Jeffrey Nordling as her professor and Corri English  as her troubled young roommate. Watch the trailer:

Shark Week
8 p.m. Sunday on Discovery
There’s “Blood in the Water” as the annual event begins by recounting shark attacks on the Jersey Shore in 1916.

‘Defying Gravity’
8 p.m. Sunday on ABC
Ron Livingston and Laura Harris star in a Canadian-German series that demands to be described as “Grey’s Anatomy” in space. The plot has eight astronauts — four men, four women — embarking on an extended space mission that leaves them with plenty of time on their hands. Watch the trailer:
