Divorced couples will play matchmaker for each other in a new reality show by Bravo. The cable net is readying the pilot for "Take My Ex," an hour-long show where each episode focuses on a recently split pair, looking at both good times and bad and getting them to find better mates.

Currently in development, the show comes from Sam Mettler, the creator/executive producer of A&E's "Intervention," the show in which boozers and druggies are confronted by loved ones. The new show "explores relationships between couples and the fundamentals of a couple that has split up, what attracted them to each other in the first place and what other people find attractive about that relationship," says Frances Berwick, executive vice president, programming and production for Bravo.

The network is expected to add it to its full programming slate at an upfront presentation this week.
