PROPERTY BROTHERS – SERIES PREMIERE
Property Brothers is a new one-hour real estate/home renovation series that gets buyers into their dream homes without busting their budget. The series follows real estate agent Drew Scott and his twin brother, contractor Jonathan Scott, as they help couples find, buy and transform extreme fixer-uppers into the ultimate dream home. With the help of CGI technology, the brothers show buyers the underlying potential in two rundown properties. Once the clients choose the property they like best, Drew begins negotiating the purchase price while Jonathan starts planning the transformation. In the first episode, suburbanites John and Christine are hoping to buy a new home in the city, but finding an affordable move-in ready property for a family of six is a tall order – especially when their expectations far exceed their budget. Property Brothers premieres Tuesday, January 4 at 10 p.m. For more information about Property Brothers, visit www.wnetwork.com/propertybrothers.
MY KITCHEN RULES – SERIES PREMIERE
My Kitchen Rules is an hour-long series that follows Australia’s best home cooks as they battle it out state versus state and plate against plate. Five teams-of-two attempt to out-dine and out-wine each other to see whose kitchen rules and who will go home with the $100,000 prize. Each episode, the cooking teams take turns transforming an ordinary home into an instant restaurant, and will serve up a three-course menu designed to impress contestants and expert chefs Pete Evans and Manu Feildel. At the end of each night, the other teams – along with the judges – will mark the host’s dinner event separately, giving them a total score out of 100. The best teams will move to the finals where they will compete in a custom-designed restaurant space. Viewers can tune in as the contestants battle the clock and their nerves to plate up on time when My Kitchen Rules premieres Wednesday, January 5 at 11 p.m.
