Extreme reality TV on DStv, 20-26 August

Let’s get real as DStv pushes lifestyle to the max this week.

So Freakin Cheap takes cutting the budget to another level. Wedding dress expert Randy Fenoli helps brides find their perfect dress in a new season of Say Yes To The Dress. In Farmhouse Facelift, a brother and sister duo take on massive renovations for their clients, while Three Men Four Wheels sees car enthusiasts take classic cars for the ultimate spin. Food blogger Molly Yeh blends down home farmhouse cooking with her Jewish-Chinese inspirations in Girl Meets Farm, and The Supervet returns treating our favourite animals’ extreme problems.

Then in two reality competition series, living in the wilderness is pushed to the extreme in Alone: Grizzly Mountain, and celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay gets ready to drill another set of chefs in competition series Hell’s Kitchen.
