On Sunday, July 31 "The Surreal Life 5: Backyard Makeover Surreal Edition"

The cast heads off to a battered women's shelter to build a new backyard. Janice makes it clear that the only heavy lifting supermodels do is with their lip-gloss applicator. Chaos overcomes the cast as bossy Omarosa doesn't seem to have a clue. Then, Jose decides it would be easier to just write a check and hire someone else to complete the project. When Carey offers to take over foreman duties for Omarosa to keep things rolling, Omarosa gets defensive. Janice, meanwhile, re-applies her make-up. Will they ever finish by 5:00 p.m.?

"Celebrity Fit Club 2"

Celebs welcome back a missing fit clubber and face off at the Santa Anita race track. Team Jackee welcomes back their missing member, but when they attend a raucous concert together, no one is certain that the problems that caused the unplanned absence are gone for good. Later at the weigh-in ceremony, an exercise intervention with Willie Aames reveals an unexpected angry streak from Willie - and results in fireworks with Harvey.

Monday, August 1 "All Access: On Set Hook-Ups"

"The Fabulous Life of Celebrity Pets"

We all know superstars live fabulous lives, but their pets live even larger. Meet a very different breed of celebrity: they're covered in fur, decked out in diamond collars, but they're still not allowed to make in the house. From Missy Elliot's pooch's $4000 Louis Vuitton dog collar to Snoop Dogg's pup Red's very own Pimp Cup, "The Fabulous Life of Celebrity Pets" is your guide to the most jaw-dropping luxuries provided to Hollywood elite's animals. Playing Frisbee in the park is okay, but being a four-legged fashion icon on the red carpet is fabulous!
