VH1: The Weekly Guide to New Episodes of 'Kept' and 'Strip Search'

NEW YORK, June 21 /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 #105: "Dance" Thursday 06/23 @ 9PM*

*Newsflash* -- Ricardo gets his shows mixed up. Jerry sends the eight remaining guys to face their most fearsome challenge yet -- the British press. And when Jerry throws a costume party, the guys are sent to dancing school to learn some new moves. They'll have to strut their stuff for Jerry and her friends before one of them has to hang up his dancing shoes for good.

"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 #105: Thursday 06/23 @ 10PM*

*Newsflash* --It's never good to pick a fight with your boss. The fallout from last week's music video competition continues as Johnny decides he's had enough of the cameras and decides it's his turn to challenge Billy. With just 15 days until their premiere show in Vegas, Billy must send another guy home. He makes his decision based on their first photo shoot -- an important test of image, style and judgment that leaves shockwaves when Billy reveals the failed photo.
