The Weekly Guide to New Episodes of 'Kept' and 'Strip Search'

NEW YORK, June 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Welcome to your weekly guide to new episodes of "Kept" and "Strip Search."

"Kept" - A group of twelve, diverse, unformed, mounds of "man-clay" are shipped to London and dropped in the middle of Jerry Hall's lush life. Jerry will run the men through the rigors of her glittering, whirlwind existence with the goal of molding the perfect "kept" man. Moving from London to Paris, Jerry's bevy of "A" list family and friends will be on hand each week to help her narrow the playing field from twelve to the "one."

Episode #106: "Dinner Party" Thursday 06/29 @ 9PM*

*Newsflash* - Maurizio is the next Julia Child. Jerry Hall's kept man must know his way around the kitchen and how to entertain her friends like a proper gentleman. The seven remaining men are sent to learn the culinary arts from Gary Rhodes, one of London's top chefs. They'll have to prepare and cater a private party for Jerry's exclusive guests and the guy who can't stand the heat, will be sent out of the kitchen for good.

"Strip Search" - With the help of Billy Cross, creator/producer of the internationally acclaimed male dance troupe "The Thunder from Down Under," and VH1 personality Rachel Perry, fifteen men from all walks of life are throwing off the shackles of the typical workday with the hopes of winning one of seven spots in a male revue dance troupe in Las Vegas.

Episode #106: Thursday 06/29 @ 10PM*

*Newsflash* - Sharon is officially on her way to becoming a miracle worker. In this episode, tensions run high as Billy and Sharon clash over their near impossible job of getting the guys ready for their first show in just 12 days. The guys vent their frustrations on Bryce, who must cope with their childish pranks while continuing to struggle with his weight. In the end, Billy turns to the experts from The Thunder from Down Under for their take on which guys should follow in their footsteps, and which guy should be sent home.
