Wedding dress divas reign supreme

I once spent a nerve-racking night writing the bridal toast for my best friend’s wedding.

My only distraction was the catty casts of TLC’s Bride Day Friday lineup. An episode of Say Yes to the Dress: Bridesmaids featured a woman who’d clearly let the bitterness of being “always a bridesmaid, never a bride” bother her to the point where she brought her bride-to-be BFF to tears over a gown that wasn’t her colour.

TLC’s lineup has plenty of comic relief between the sabotaging competitors on Four Weddings, the bickering bridesmaids on Say Yes to the Dress and flamboyant Randy Fenoli’s looks of disgust on SYTTD spinoff Randy to the Rescue.

Due this week: two new episodes of Say Yes to the Dress: Bridesmaids, one in which a bride threatens to call off the wedding when her fiancé insists on choosing her dress (so much for it being a surprise on the wedding day), and another in which an outlaw bridesmaid wants to make her own dress. Later on, Fenoli heads to Chicago to help out a Bohemian bride, and a bride who recently lost her mom to breast cancer on Randy to the Rescue. (Say Yes to the Dress, 9 p.m. & 9:30 p.m., TLC; Randy to the Rescue, 10 p.m., TLC)

Chris Harrison, The Bachelor/Bachelorette host, visits the set of Wipeout for Friday’s breakup-themed episode called The Ex Games, in which contestants compete with former girlfriends or boyfriends. Revenge on an ex-lover is especially sweet whenever there’s a Miami Pound Machine involved. (9 p.m., City)

Satisfaction, the Torontoshot CTV sitcom about a longterm couple (Leah Renee and Luke Macfarlane) and their live-in third wheel (Ryan Belleville) re-broadcasts Friday nights on Comedy Network. (8:30 p.m., Comedy Network)

Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton chase storms in the megablockbuster Twister, which spins out of control on Slice. (9 p.m., Slice)
