Twice Is Nice for Lifetime Reality Shows

Lifetime Television said Thursday that it has ordered second seasons of its two reality series, Merge and Head 2 Toe.

Hosted by Lisa Rinna (Days of Our Lives, Melrose Place, Lifetime’s Sex, Lies and Obsession), Merge celebrates the art of compromise, helping newlyweds decide just how prized their favorite possessions really are.

Lifetime said Merge ranked No. 1 in its time period among women 18-49 and 25-54.

Makeover show Head 2 Toe, hosted by Tanika Ray (SoapCenter, Lifetime Now), lets two women -- best friends, mothers, daughters, sisters, co-workers -- decide what to change about the other.

Both shows return Friday, April 9, with Head 2 Toe airing at 6:30 p.m. (EST/PST), immediately followed by Merge at 7 p.m.
