Wednesday is the season finale of Ghost Hunters International on Syfy at 9/8c. It’s also the season finale of Dinner: Impossible on Food Network at 10/9c.

Tonight is the series premiere of Come Dine with Me on BBC America at 9/8c. It follows four total strangers across the UK competing for the title of the ultimate dinner party host. Each episode features a new city and a new group of amateur chefs as they take turns cooking up their idea of the perfect dinner party. As well as cooking, the rival hosts snoop around each others’ houses and go to bizarre lengths to win the competition. At the end of the evening, the host is judged by their guests and the contestant with the most points wins a cash prize.

Following that is the series premiere of The Choir on BBC America at 10/9c. This U.S. premiere, BAFTA award-winning series, has spellbound UK audiences and created an unlikely reality star in choirmaster Gareth Malone as he attempts to recruit a choir in the most unlikely of settings. From schools with no tradition of music to blue collar neighborhoods in need of a community focus, Malone is a man on a mission. It’s an emotional journey of shocks and surprises, challenges and rewards with heartwarming results.
