FRIDGE WARS (THE CW) · [series premiere] · 8/2/20 at 8:00 PM · [regularly airs] · sundays from 8:00 PM-9:00 PM EST |
(from The CW's press release, June 2020) Top chefs compete to make an amazing feast using leftovers and ingredients found in your fridge in the culinary competition FRIDGE WARS. Each episode, two top chefs are pitted against one another with a challenge to create extraordinary meals using only the ingredients taken from the fridges of ordinary families. We learn why dinnertime is a source of stress and panic when host Emma Hunter visits a family's home and conducts a surprise fridge raid - taking everything from last week's leftover lasagna to the condiment collection, and even snatching that questionable bag of frozen vegetables from 2016. The competition commences back at the FRIDGE WARS studio where the family's fridge is recreated for both chefs. Once the clock starts, the chefs have 45 minutes to get dinner on the table - cooking with ingredients they've never seen for people they've never met! Inside their fridges, the chefs scour through the ingredients imagining what they can possibly pull together. But it's the outside of the fridge that holds clues that guide the chefs to create a winning meal strategy. The family calendar, take-out menus, photos and maybe a gluten-free recipe are all potential clues to influence what meal will be a hit with these total strangers. When time's up, the family takes their place at the dining room table and tastes each meal, scoring them on look, taste and originality - without knowing who cooked what. Those results go in the FRIDGE WARS vault and we do it all again with a new family and a new fridge full of challenges, this time upping the ante with a "What the Fridge (WTF) Challenge" that forces both chefs to adapt to a totally unique culinary crisis. With both families' scores tabulated, the final scene reveals which chef successfully created a mouth-watering masterpiece to win the "Fridge Wars" battle. Hosted by comedian Emma Hunter, FRIDGE WARS is co-produced and co-created by The Gurin Company and the CBC. The show is executive produced by Tracie Tighe (CBC) and Emmy(R) and Rose d'Or winner Phil Gurin (The Gurin Company). |

(from TLC's press release, June 2020) They "love to love" and now TLC is giving 90 Day Fiancé fans more to love of Darcey and Stacey Silva! The network, which ranks #1 in all of cable for women year to date, announced today a hot, all-new series dedicated to the up-and-down lives of the most buzzworthy set of identical twins in pop culture today. Fans of 90 DAY FIANCÉ: BEFORE THE 90 DAYS have been glued to Darcey through four seasons of globe-trotting, long-distance love affairs followed by heartbreaking, tear-filled break-ups, always with her devoted twin Stacey by her side to lend a shoulder to cry on. Viewers will now get to know the sisters on a whole new level -- their lives, their loves and their supportive family members in the all-new series, DARCEY & STACEY. The adventure begins Sunday, August 16 at 10PM ET/PT following new episodes of HAPPILY EVER AFTER? "For the past four seasons of our record-breaking series BEFORE THE 90 DAYS, fans have become obsessed with Darcey and her twin sister Stacey. They have clamored to follow along further on their quest for true love," said TLC President and General Manager Howard Lee. "One of the reasons for the success of the 90 Day franchise is the raw, real and captivating individuals who share their stories with us. Darcey and Stacey don't hold back - they live life out loud. We cannot wait to share their next chapter in this all-new series." In DARCEY & STACEY, the twins open the doors wide to their lives while they juggle relationships, family and their unique world of being twins. As the series begins, we follow while Darcey heals over yet another failed relationship with British ex-boyfriend Tom and as Stacey gears up for a major step in her own love life. After a five-year engagement to Albanian fiancé Florian, they have finally been approved for the K-1 Visa. Florian and Stacey will have 90 days to get married once Florian arrives, but Darcey has lingering doubts about his commitment to Stacey after photos of him with another woman surfaced online, sparking rumors that he was unfaithful. The twins have always done everything together - they were married and divorced at the same time, have raised their families in the same home and even got cosmetic surgery together! Now, Stacey is preparing for her new life with Florian while Darcey is on a mission to find a whole new love. And, while Darcey always seems to get hit by cupid's international arrow, she finds, once again, that love is never easy. From their hair extensions and nails to their eye-catching fashions, Darcey and Stacey are as over-the-top in their style as their joint determination to find international love. Yet they are also relatable as great mothers, devoted sisters and fabulous women in their 40s yearning for stable, long-lasting love. This season will also take a closer look at the rest of the Silva family including their father Mike, Darcey's teenage daughters Aniko and Aspen and their mother, Nancy. |
