UNTOLD AUSTRALIA: LEBANESE BEAUTY QUEENS
★★★
8.30pm, SBS
Plagued by the rigging rumours that tainted the 2016 win by the sister of disgraced former Auburn City Council mayor, Salim Mehajer, the organisers of this Australian arm of the Miss Lebanon Emigrant pageant are trying to restore its image, apparently by having deportment instructor Zuka go hard on her charges. This clever and varied bunch of contestants includes a woman carrying emotional scars from her time in war-ravaged Syria.
BACK WITH THE EX
★★
9.45pm, Seven
It's often the third wheels that are proving to be the most interesting characters in this restorative relationship series. A frulleted young man called Banjo who is the kindergarten friend of baby-faced Cam steals the show tonight with his loyalty that manifests in aggression towards the chick who once broke his mate's heart. Meanwhile, Peter and Diane have a typical kitchen tiff at her North Carolina home.
COREY WHITE'S ROADMAP TO PARADISE
★★★★
9.40pm, ABC
Young firebrand comedian and social activist Corey White delivers his radical solutions to the housing crisis from within a middle-class home that he has pretended to invade. Or at least we hope the middle-aged bloke hog-tied in the kitchen is a willing participant. In another effective way of making his point he auctions off a hospital bed in a bitterly funny sketch. It's hard to argue with White's graphic logic but a beguiling economist tries.
