With family ties and romance colliding in the most unpredictable way, this is dating like never before. Meanwhile, True Love is the villa-based dating format where the heart never lies.

Last Bite Hotel, produced by Butternut Media for Food Network, is a devilishly clever cooking competition that pushes chefs to their limits. Invited to a secluded, eerie retreat, each contestant can bring only 13 ingredients for their entire stay – and once an ingredient is gone, it’s gone. With a charismatic host and unpredictable challenges ahead, the chefs must use strategy and creativity to satisfy a demanding line-up of VIP and celebrity guests. But there’s a twist: at the end of each round, one chef is banished to Room 13, and their ingredients are divided among the remaining competitors. Who can outthink, outcook, and outlast their rivals to stay in the game? In this battle of skill and strategy, only the sharpest chefs will survive, because every meal could be their last. Outchef’d, produced by Frank for Food Network, delivers the ultimate culinary surprise when confident home cooks, believing they’re auditioning to be on a show, are thrown into a tense, one-round cookoff against an elite professional chef. With a secret ingredient in play, they must think fast, cook smart, and impress everyday eaters with no professional food experience in a blind taste test. If even one judge picks their dish over the pro, they win a cash prize, proving that sometimes, the underdog can outcook the expert.
Survive the Raft, a Critical Content production for Discovery US, explores whether people from vastly different backgrounds and beliefs can work together – or if their differences will drive them apart.

As alliances shift and tensions rise, every decision—whether to cooperate or compete—could change the course of the game.
