All new look

Discovery Travel and Living has launched three new programmes



STYLE SENSE Shear Genius features stylists going head-to-head

Turn off the stove, fix yourself a cocktail and settle down for a mouth-watering culinary competition as five strangers battle it out for the title of consummate dinner party host. It’s a contest where each night, one of the five amateur chefs cooks up a dinner party for the other four at home. At the end of each evening the guests award points for food, presentation and entertainment. The host with the most wins $1,000. From dressing the guests in pajamas to serving grilled scallops and chocolate fondue in bed and playing a game of “Truth or Dare” it’s all happening in ‘Dinner Takes All’ airs on Tuesday at 8 p.m.

‘Making It Big’ offers young professionals a ticket to the top of today’s popular creative careers. In each episode, three hopefuls face the toughest challenge as they vie for a reward money can’t buy – mentoring by a high profile leader in their industry. From music video directors to fashion photographers, from pastry chefs to songwriters, the programme features them all. To begin with, fashion photographers vie for a chance to be mentored by New York fashion photographer Joshua Jordan. Next in line are up-and-coming floral designers who must create elaborate floral design for a deluxe dinner party in just two hours. Oscar winning costume designer Angus Strathie will mentor budding costume designers who have to costume actors for a film scene in just two hours.

All on Friday at 10 p.m. ‘Shear Genius’ which airs every Saturday at 8 p.m. puts together a group of talented hairstylists from around the world who literally go head-to-head in creative hairdressing challenges. In the elimination challenge the contestants must create a red carpet hairstyle for a famous leading actress. Actor-singer Vanessa Williams will be one of the judges.

Watch these talent shows with a difference and watch your style quotient being redefined.
