Rebel Wilson’s dog grooming show Pooch Perfect comes to America from Australia

Rebel Wilson’s Australian show Pooch Perfect has found its way onto the American television channel at ABC.

The 40-year-old, from Sydney, hosted the first season of the Seven Network dog grooming competition in her home country.

However, last October it emerged that the Seven were not reprising the series for the second season, which is now arriving in the United States, People reports.

Famous Rebel judges will be Lisa Vanderpump as well as a veterinarian called Callie Harris and dog groomer Jorge Bendersky.

Jorge charges at least $ 300 an hour from a customer list that includes Gisele Bundchen, Diddy and Ralph Lauren, he told Business Insider last year.

Meanwhile, Lisa was a true Beverly Hills housewife before quitting amid a feud with her co-stars involving her Vanderpump Dogs foundation.

The second season of Pooch Perfect, whose title is a pun on the Rebel film Pitch Perfect, will feature eight episodes with 10 contestants according to a press release.

Remember when: the 40-year-old, from Sydney, hosted the first season of the Seven Network dog grooming competition in her home country.

The first season had the same number of episodes and contestants, but with canine stylists Amber Lewin and Colin Taylor as judges.

All applicants to the program are expected to be professional groomers and they will have their assistants on hand to assist them.

During the 2021 Upfronts for the Seven network last October, it emerged that Pooch Perfect was not on their roster for this year.

Meanwhile, ratings were theorized to be the problem, as the show lost almost half of its audience in the first season.

There she is: Rebel’s famous judges will be Lisa Vanderpump (pictured) as well as a vet called Callie Harris and star dog groomer Jorge Bendersky.

The first season was won by a pet salon owner called Wendy and her daughter Nikki who received a cash prize of $ 100,000.

While earnings for the US version of the show have yet to be announced, the names of some challenges have been thrown out – Ultimutt Challenge and Immunity Puppertunity.

The press release says the contestants “will compete in epic grooming trans-fur-mations and showcase their incredible creations on the illustrious ‘dogwalk’.

Rebel posted an Instagram video announcing their big news on Wednesday and said the show was going to ‘be paged’.
