20 Ways to Slim Down
20 Ways to Slim Down is packed with weight-loss tips and shortcuts from a team of experts that includes a trainer, nutritionist, psychologist and stylist. With their knowledge, they will bare the facts on slimming down. Our experts will reveal how to grocery shop smart and healthy, look trim and slim with the correct hairdo and posture and even pole-dance the pounds away! After which, Christina and Tonya will try their advice and see if they are successful.

Mind Your Manners
Serena, Peter and Tania may be the life of the party, but they have no idea how to behave. All three have formal weddings coming up, but their friends and family worry their awful behaviour could ruin an elegant affair. With the help of Clinton Kelly and two world-class etiquette experts, these rude and unrefined students will be given a chance to clean up their acts. Find out if 72 hours is enough time to erase decades of nasty habits and turn these unsophisticated students into proper ladies and gentlemen.

Fashioning A Home with Clinton Kelly
Popular host and author Clinton Kelly takes on his biggest design challenge ever. Trading in A-line skirts and fitted jackets for retaining walls and textured wallpaper, he tackles the renovation and design of his new country retreat. A mammoth task awaits Clinton as he switches from from Oscar de la Renta to Osborne & Little. Time to get your hands dirty, Clinton.

Girlfriend Intervention
Each week, our hosts, whose expertise is the business of friendship, will tackle three problems with three sets of different girlfriends who want to help one of their own.  We meet the set of friends, learn their history together and hear about their girlfriend who needs an intervention. Our hosts will then pry out any information that can help their mission and lay out an attack plan right then and there with the friends. Then, it's onto execution and to set things right.
