What is beautiful? While there is no simple answer, many scientists are piecing together the puzzle that makes up a popular definition of beauty. There are some common threads: symmetry, waist to hip ratio and masculine and feminine traits that the majority are attracted to. And those attractions are all linked to sex and reproduction. But are there really universal standards of beauty? Or is beauty as varied as the cultures of the world? This episode will also look at the growing trend, or some would say addiction, to beauty in North America. The desire to drastically change one’s physical appearance through plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures has sparked a boom that shows no signs of stopping. We’ll also reveal the life benefits to being beautiful. This program is recommended for an audience aged 17 and up. May contain information that is considered offensive to some viewers.

One thing everyone can agree on is that first dates are nerve-wracking. And no wonder! From the moment we step into the shower to get ready, we are embarking on a complex mating ritual. It becomes even more complex, and downright scary when it comes to blind dates. In this episode, we follow a man and woman out on blind dates set up by us. They receive no advance coaching and no tips are offered. We then track every step of their dates from picking the right tie, to the goodnight peck on the cheek. Then our “Date Doctor”, Therapist Rebecca Rosenblat, sits down separately with the two dates and reviews all their hits and misses, offering specific advice before sending them out on a date together. This time when our cameras follow them out for a night on the town they can put their new knowledge into practice. Have they learned anything from their mistakes, or are they too set in their dating ways? You might be surprised. This program is recommended for an audience aged 17 and up.
