Extreme Sisters

Channel: TLC Entertainment (DStv 135)
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Reality

Extreme Sisters

Sisterly love takes on a whole new meaning in Extreme Sisters, following the most obsessive and inseparable sibling relationships.

Some sister bonds are closer than others, but these siblings take their obsession to the extreme.

From eating the same foods, to sleeping in the same bed and even sharing a boyfriend, some of these sister fascinations are sure to make you think twice about how close sisters can really be.

Despite what others may think about their uncanny relationships, these Extreme Sisters are unapologetic in their dedication to one another.

However, when the opinions of society, family, romantic partners and some major life changes come into the play, it remains to be seen if these sisters will be able to defend and maintain their exceptional bond.

What are these sisters willing to lose to keep their obsession with each other intact?

Meet the sisters:

"One in the Same"

Anna and Lucy eat the same foods, go to the bathroom together and shower together. They are literally never apart.

The sisters have begun thinking about their future as mothers and have decided that when they do get pregnant, they want to be pregnant with Ben's baby at the exact same time.

Yes, Ben is Anna and Lucy's shared boyfriend, and potential shared father of their future children.

"The Candaces"

Brooke and Baylee are so close that they shared the same bed growing up and continue to do so even though Brooke is married, and her husband is uncomfortable with Baylee sleeping with them.

They shower together, pop each other's pimples and also share the same name - Candace.

Technically, the two are named Candace-Brooke and Candace Baylee, and Brooke has even passed down the tradition to her daughter, Candace-Ace.

"New Sister Moms"

Brittany and Briana always dreamed about marrying and getting pregnant at the same time as one another - they have what is called a quaternary marriage, which is very rare.

The sisters have successfully achieved this goal, with just a few months difference in their pregnancies.

The identical twins now venture into motherhood together, sharing a house with their twin husbands and consider themselves both moms and dads to their baby and future baby.

"Psychic Sisters"

Christina and Jessica have led parallel lives through every major life event. They married, were pregnant, and went through divorces together.

Their obsessive closeness is the reason for both of their divorces and because they believe they are each other's soul mate.

Today, they live .2 miles away from one another, raising their children together as single mothers.

They are inseparable and feel physically sick when they are apart.

The sisters even have a code word for each other that signals to the other that no matter what they're doing at that time, they must drop it and rush to the other's side.

"Right Hand Sister"

Patrix and Patrica live their lives intwined from the moment they were born.

Patrix has an apartment but rarely uses it and spends a majority of her time living at Patrica's house.

Patrica was born with three of her fingers missing on her right hand, so Patrix has always been by her sister's side in the face of bullies and to step in to help Patrica with tasks that aren't easy to do without two properly formed hands, such as cutting nails, shaving and applying makeup.

Patrix truly is Patrica's right hand sister.
 

Assembly Required

Channel: HISTORY (DStv 186)
TX Time: 19h25
Genre: Reality Competition, DIY

Assembly Required

Tim Allen (Last Man Standing) reunites with Richard Karn (Home Improvement) as series host and executive producer, joined by woodworking do-it-yourself YouTube star April Wilkerson who will act as the series' own resident expert.

In this 10-episode competition series, Allen and Karn spotlight the best and brightest makers from across the USA, as they compete head-to-head, to create mind-blowing builds.

These include everything from a dual all-season ice melter/leaf blower and all-in-one riding comfort mower to a do-it-yourself jacuzzi and BBQ bicycle, which not only pushes each builder beyond their limits but challenges their inner fixer and inventor to build it bigger, better and more powerful.

Each week, Assembly Required features three incredible makers who compete from their own home shops to create insane builds with their bare hands while both Allen and Karn pop in virtually to deliver colourful commentary and oversee their work across two challenge rounds.

Resident expert April Wilkerson serves as Tim and Richard's go-to source on the 'how and why' of each build, breaking down the complexities and giving the audience a bird's eye view of what the challengers are up against.

Round one consists of the "make-or-break challenge" where all three makers have 90 minutes to build an item of Allen and Karn's choosing while using the items specifically curated for them in their "mystery crates."

Round one builds this season include a fire extinguisher, water fountain, treadmill and handheld vacuum, to name a few.

All three makers will test their final constructs for the guys with only two moving on to round two to compete in the "run-with-it challenge."

Here they will have five full days to construct something that has never been created before by using the contents of another "mystery crate" as well as parts from their round one build.

What the final two don't know is Wilkerson will throw a proverbial "wrench" into their plans with "April's Secret Challenge," covertly tricking up one of the parts, so it will require a surprise repair.

This ensures they aren't just builders and inventors but also fixers.

The final two builds will be shipped to Allen's workshop where he and Karn will personally test each creation based on three criteria - quality, design and functionality.

The winning maker takes home $5,000 in cash and the ultimate bragging rights.
