8 p.m. on 2, 9, “Shark Tank” — Sharks including Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner get a new taste for — and from — hummus in this episode, as they’re treated to the flavor spin it gets from a new-college-grad entrepreneur from Orlando, Florida. That’s not the only munching they do here, since New York pals also present their edible cups. Plus, a Los Angeles woman pitches her idea for eyelash extensions.
9 p.m. on 7, “The Great British Baking Show” — There’s a personal touch to “The Final,” which does indeed cap this season of the competition, since relatives of the three finalists appear and give some background on the candidates to be crowned the champ. (In one case, that means having pretended to be on a show like this.) Once it’s back to business in the kitchen, the cooks have to make a picnic pie, several varieties of soft pretzels and — as the concluding showstopper — a three-tiered wedding cake.
9 p.m. on BRAVO, “The Real Housewives of Melbourne” — In the new episode “Here Come the Brides,” Pettifleur declines Gamble’s wedding invitation, sparking a surplus of emotions. Meanwhile, at her first extended family dinner since she and Brian split up, Janet explores other options with Christopher. Elsewhere, Chyka throws Gamble a bridal shower, but the unusual dress code (wedding dresses only) triggers some strong emotional responses, to put it mildly.
