The show’s site has a live stream of Tristan Couvares, the subject, pretty much all day every day. As you watch the live stream, ControlTV puts up a vote so viewers can help decide what Tristan’s going to do – like buying a pet hamster (and what to name his hamster) or who to call for a date (and what to wear on that date). Every day or two the producers post 3-minute recap videos so you can keep up, even if you can’t watch the live stream the whole time.  

One of my favorite parts of ControlTV is that, although it is entertaining, the producers are really trying to help Tristan get control of his life. They have him meet with a wide variety of experts – from a Financial Advisor and Personal Trainer to a Stylist and Life Coach.

The Life Coach, Marni Battista MA.Ed, CPC and Founder of Dating With Dignity (also a Three Girls client and the reason I started watching ControlTV in the first place), regularly works with Tristan to help set him up for the career and relationship he wants in the future. She gives him things to think about, questions to ask himself and another perspective to see his situation through, which ultimately helps him:

• become aware of his needs and learn to articulate them
• learn his needs matter even though he’s in a controlled situation
• be more accountable so that he begins to take himself and career opportunities seriously

I love that ControlTV is really giving Tristan the tools he needs to launch a career and share his life with someone. If you want to check the show out, visit controltv.com for the live stream or controltv.com/category/episodes for the 3-minute recap episodes.
