Serving the Hamptons
Channel: TLC Entertainment (DStv 135)
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Docu-Reality
Each summer on the East-end of Long Island, as the Hamptons play home to those looking for an escape from the city, 75 Main Restaurant becomes the epicentre of who's who.
As the seasonal temperatures rise, so does the drama.
The five hour-long episodes take you into one of the most exclusive enclaves in the world, while showcasing all the juicy drama in the lives of the young, sexy restaurant staff at Southampton's "it" destination for dining, 75 Main, as they hook up, argue and work together to make sure the clients come back for more.
To attract the best employees to serve his elite clientele of celebrities, politicians, and the uber rich, 75 Main owner Zach Erdem provides his staff with a gorgeous beach house - provided they follow his rules and take care of his customers.
That's easier said than done when your staff has a resident heartbreaker and plays even harder than they work to take full advantage of all a summer in the Hamptons has to offer.
To keep the young staff in line, Zach enlists manager Victoria Hilton to ensure the few rules he's established are followed, including being on time, no drinking at work, and most importantly, no dating among the staff.
But this summer, rules will be broken, personalities will clash, secrets will be revealed, a shocking love triangle will unfold, and true romance may just get in the way.
Serving the Hamptons starts off with summer in full swing and the restaurant buzzing.
V.I.P. hostess Jillian Gough parties a little too hard at the staff house and fails to show up to work the next day.
Meanwhile, Zach has chef Brogan Wu preparing his birthday dinner, full of his favourite dishes prepared exactly how he likes, except Brogan finds herself in hot water when the staff fails to get her ingredients and she must improvise on the spot.
Victoria Hilton decides to surprise Zach with a special show for his birthday, but things quickly go south when all the attention is taken off the birthday boy.
The drama continues as Jack Tavcar and Hailey Druek muster the courage to confront Zach about not getting tipped after his birthday.
Ethan Thompson develops a crush on Brogan, but after she puts him in the friend zone, he goes wild breaking the house rules, pursuing a different housemate, as well as secretly hooking up with a local Hamptonite he met at a DJ gig.
No matter the house drama, the staff must put their personal issues aside to serve some of the wealthiest and most demanding clients in the Hamptons to make the summer a success.
Come Dine With Me South Africa 8
Channel: BBC Lifestyle (DStv 174)
TX Time: 20h00
Genre: Reality, Food
Come Dine With Me South Africa returns, featuring extrovert and eccentric contestants from Johannesburg and Cape Town.
The show, featuring "the good, the bad and the hungry" will continue to be narrated by the voiceover legend Dave Lamb.
The format follows four amateur chefs as they each host a three-course dinner party for the other contestants at their own home.
Competitors then rate the host's food and hosting skills at the end of each evening, with the highest-scoring chef winning R10,000 cash.
In the Season 8 premiere: In the North of Johannesburg four colourful and creative personalities compete to host the best dinner party.
They are master yogi Paiger, bachelor Brendan, creative cool-cat Mandisa, and home-exec Qudsiya.
It's night one and yogi Paige is the first to host.
She goes full force with her Afrikaans inspired menu, loaded up with big pieces of meat, loads of butter and a Driehoek Kaaskoek to finish it off.
Her not-made-to-order steaks set her back but a round of party tricks save the day with ventriloquism, contortion and sound effects on offer.
On night two Bougie Brendon kicks off in the style of a true actuary, calculated and clean.
With Harry Potter wand in hand, he whips up an impressive three-course meal fit for a Michelin star; for starters Handkerchief pasta on a Sweet Corn Veloute, for the main Roasted Lamb and a truffle infused Wild Mushroom Risotto, and for dessert his take on a deconstructed Banoffee Pie.
Not just a feast for the eyes and the belly, but one for the heart too, leading the conversation to Brendon's relationship status.
It's night three and Mandisa is ready to make art in her kitchen.
Her dress code "The best version of yourself" reveals synergy in the group when all arrive in matching pink accents.
Her opening act, an Indian inspired Dhal Makhani, receives mixed reviews from her two India-loving guests Paige and Qudsiya.
She tries to bring it back with a health bowl and a song but it's her Ample Crumble dessert with a side of feet that really steal the show.
The final host is married mom of two Qudsiya, she turns up the heat with spice at every stage of the night from a chilli infused welcome drink to a painfully hot game of truth or dare.
She serves an abundance of food, proving that in her home more is more.
For starters she served Fish Tikka and Mussels, for the main a South African Indian dish comprising of multiple smaller dishes that left her guests overwhelmed, and finally her favourite Pakistani dessert Rasmalai.
No doubt Paige was in heaven but was her feast from the East enough to tantalise the tastebuds of Mandisa and Brendan and grab the cash prize?
