Better Half

Better Half is a reality competition series on Bravo in which the spouses of two professionals in a creative industry coach their significant others in their field to work at their jobs. The career professionals are usually from a creative field and include things like chefs, hairstylists, and party planners, and they have two days to teach the one they love how to be good at a job they’ve spent years perfecting. The show is hosted by Curb Your Enthusiasm’s Susie Essman, and judged by a team of experts in the fields that the spouses are trading information on to determine which couple did the best at the challenge. The winning team is rewarded with a prize. The show demonstrates how difficult it can be to impart the knowledge of a creative skill, with the added drama of watching one person have the unpleasant experience of having their spouse tell them what to do.
