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

NEW YORK, June 15 /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 #104: "Houseguests" Thursday 06/16 @ 9PM*

*Newsflash* -- Poetry can be deadly. Jerry packs her nine men off to the country to stay in the former castle home of Anne Boleyn where they must prove themselves to be proper houseguests. There, the boys learn to write poetry and then present their devotions to Jerry at a special dinner party with her friends. But on a night out, one guy loses his head and his lips leaving him on the wrong side of the moat. *Newsflash* -- Seth is really into roast suckling pig.

"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 #104: Thursday 06/16 @ 10PM*

*Newsflash* -- Brian totally looks like Patrick Swayze. Billy names two team captains in a challenge to learn the choreography from Britney Spears and O-Town videos. While one team strategizes, the other team battles with their leader and struggles to put together their performance. Meanwhile, one guy questions his decision to leave his two daughters behind to be part of the troupe, and another realizes that his out-of-shape body may cause him to be the next one sent packing. *Newsflash* -- Billy purses his lips about 50 times in this episode.
