Beautiful People (World Broadcast Premiere) (13x30min) Mondays at 9pm ET beginning October 6 "Looks Matter" is the Darwinian philosophy that has made beautifulpeople.net a worldwide phenomenon. In cities all over the world, members judge applicants on their physical appearance; those accepted then build an online community for dating and networking, which blatantly excludes the average, extolling the virtues of a superior outer package. European playboys Robert and Greg have already established their controversial site in Japan, Asia and Europe, and are now set to invade Canada.

Til Debt Do Us Part, Season Five (World Broadcast Premiere) (13x30min) Mondays at 8pm ET beginning October 6 Money is the number one cause of failed marriages. Rare is the couple that agrees on how the pot should be divided and the bills paid.

Crash Test Mommy, Season Five (World Broadcast Premiere) (13x60min) Fridays at 9pm ET beginning October 10 Crash Test Mommy takes under-appreciated, often criticized moms out of the house for a weekend away, replacing them with a know-it-all family member or friend, who thinks they can do a better job with the children and the household. In each episode the surrogate “mom” faces the challenges of meal preparation, laundry, emotional meltdowns, bedtime brawls, housecleaning, and more, while our real mom is whisked away for 48 hours of personal pampering. While eager, our crash test mommies are usually pretty clueless about the daunting realities of full-time parenting and it's always a lot more than they bargained for!
