XO Goals

A 13-part reality series that takes you on a rollercoaster ride through the trials and triumphs of three unforgettable couples.

With raw emotions and unexpected twists, this is the pursuit of the ultimate couple goals.



First up, meet Simphiwe and Kedibone, a same-sex couple with a shared history of unresolved pain.

Simphiwe tragically lost her ex-fiancé to illness, while Kedibone suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage.

Determined to overcome their trust and jealousy issues, they have set their sights on having a baby this year.

Will they heal their past wounds and insecurities and can Kedibone find the trust she needs to embark on this challenging motherhood chapter?



Next, we have Tracy and Siphelele, a couple whose love blossomed from the depths of their shared pain.

Tracy survived a traumatic assault in her teenage years, while Siphelele struggled as an orphan.

After 13 years together, their goal is to escape Siphelele's toxic maternal home and create a peaceful sanctuary of their own.

Can Tracy's love and determination save their relationship?

Will Siphelele overcome his past and provide the stable environment their children deserve?



Tebogo and Nathi's story is one of resilience and newfound love.

Tebogo found salvation in Nathi, who unfortunately turned from saviour to abuser.

Overcoming their turbulent past, the recently-married couple now faces the challenge of gaining acceptance from disapproving family members.

With their dream wedding ending in disaster, Tebogo and Nathi yearn for a second chance to mend family wounds and rewrite their love story.

Will they conquer the obstacles and find happiness?

XO Goals wouldn't be complete without the guidance of expert mentors.

Bakhe Dlamini, a relationship expert and marriage therapist, joins forces with Gogo Dineo Ndlanzi, an African spiritual teacher, sangoma, and life coach.

Together, they will provide practical wisdom and spiritual guidance to help the couples navigate their personal journeys towards love and fulfilment.

Through intimate conversations, heart-to-heart debriefs, and soul-searching moments, viewers will witness the couples confronting their deepest fears, healing old wounds, and working towards their ultimate relationship goals in pursuit of their happily ever after.
 

Chopped: Julia Child's Kitchen

Channel: Food Network (DStv 175)
TX Time: 17h00
Genre: Food, Reality Competition

Chopped: Julia Child's Kitchen

Sixteen chefs well-versed in all things Julia Child are ready to put their expertise to the test in the five-part tournament Chopped: Julia Child's Kitchen hosted by Ted Allen.

With passion and creativity, the chefs will face off in four preliminary heats for a spot in the finale where they will have the chance to battle it out for the ultimate gastronomes grand prize - a $25,000 Julia Child-themed trip to France.

As they attempt to put an innovative and modern spin on Julia's recipes using mystery basket ingredients inspired by her classic French dishes, the competitors use not only their culinary skills, but also their knowledge of what makes Julia Child so iconic.

The chefs must live up to Julia's legacy while being judged by a rotating panel of judges including Scott Conant, Susan Feniger, Amanda Freitag, Alex Guarnaschelli, Nilou Motamed, Michael Voltaggio and, from the comedy series Julia, actress and author Isabella Rossellini.

Throughout the tournament, inspired by clips from her groundbreaking television series, the chefs mesh their own unique culinary backgrounds with those of Julia Child, all while facing some of the most challenging baskets yet.

In one battle, the competitors must use fish heads and brown butter macarons to emulate Julia's Trout Meunière, and in another they must make a dessert with ramen noodles and French whisky.

In the appetizer round during the premiere episode, four Julia Child fans must incorporate a blooming onion in an ode to Julia's French Onion Soup.

And, in the final round, the two remaining chefs must make sweet desserts with a Bitter Frenchman cocktail.

In the episode featuring Rossellini at the judges' table, stars from the series Julia including Brittany Bradford, David Hyde Pierce and Fran Kranz help present the mystery basket ingredients via special messages to the competitors.

Car Masters: Rust to Riches 5

What does it take to turn $1,000 into $100,000?

Restoring and flipping cars can be a lucrative business for firms that do it.

One such company is Gotham Garage, which is at the centre of this series.

Owner Mark Towle leads a colourful crew, which overhauls an eclectic collection of cars with the goal of trading their way up to a showstopper that can be sold for big bucks.

As the title suggests, Towle and his crew are hoping they can use their sweat equity and sheer car genius to turn their rusty wrecks into six-figure paydays.
