Former patients from previous seasons visit to provide hope to this season's struggling addicts.

Dr. Drew and Bob talk to the group about trust issues and triggers. When the others react to Kari Anne's tendency to isolate herself, she lashes out at them, Mackenzie in particular. Dennis asserts that he will never stop drinking, but after receiving a brain scan, he has a breakthrough. On Day 8 of treatment, Celebrity Rehab alumni Brigitte Nielsen, Rodney King, Amber Smith and Jessica Sierra visit the clinic to speak to the group. Later, Mackenzie gets a call from her veterinarian informing her that her dog is dying of old age, and Dr. Drew helps her work through the emotions as she puts the dog to sleep.

For some, it's a dream vacation; for others, more of a nightmare.

It's ba-aaack! Expect the usual tears, judgements and recriminations as the third season of the can't-look-away reality show once again places mums and dads in awkward situations as they switch households and attempt to adapt to a new family, and new rules, for an entire week. When they are finally reunited with their loved ones, they reveal the twist: they decide how the other family will spend their $50,000 prize money, and vice versa. And as you can imagine, the outcome is not always a happy one...

VIBE - Friday 10 September, 8.30pm

Snowed in during a trip to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to cover the annual Groundhog Day festivities, television weatherman Phil Connors finds himself stuck in time, endlessly repeating February 2nd. His world is inhabited by the same people every day, but they don't know that the same day is repeating itself. That gives him a certain advantage: he can find out what a woman is looking for in a man, and then the "next" day, behave in exactly the right way to impress her. Luckily there is a woman close by to practice on. She's Rita, Phil's long-suffering producer, who has had to put up with his tantrums, demands and surliness. Gradually Phil is able to see the error of his ways and improve his behaviour until, finally, a Groundhog Day dawns when she finally likes him.

Starring Academy Award� nominee Bill Murray (Lost In Translation) and Golden Globe Award� nominee Andie MacDowell (Four Weddings And A Funeral).

Like all of us, Angela Bennett lives in the age of information. Every trace of her existence is computerised. Everything about her is encoded somewhere on a complex network of information. It's something Angela never thought about... until the day she was deleted. This gripping techno-thriller tells the story of a freelance computer analyst whose quiet life begins to change after a top-secret computer program falls into her hands and a colleague has a mysterious plane crash. Angela escapes for a much-needed vacation on the beach in Mexico, but guarded enthusiasm is replaced by fear when she is nearly killed for the computer diskette that holds the program. Not only has she lost her keys, passport, and identification papers, but Angela soon learns that, using the Internet, someone has altered every record of her life.
