Title: anyone watching the Block
Post by cods on Aug 28th, 2017 at 4:08pm
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/television/the-blocks-ronnie-and-georgia-accused-of-ripping-off-their-winning-design-for-childrens-room/news-story/aa849b429f826af7c9c6752ab318a058


THE Block’s controversial couple Ronnie and Georgia Caceres have been forced to defend themselves after being accused of “stealing” the winning design of their children’s room from a professional interior design firm.

The Perth couple have now responded to the allegations, telling Woman’s Day: “It’s tall poppy syndrome. It felt like we were ganged up on!”

Ronnie and Georgia won the kids bedroom challenge last week, scoring the first 10 of this year’s series.

And in an explosive episode this week, fellow contestant Jason will accuse the couple of ripping off the design of the room after he was sent a photo of a room style by Melbourne interior design business Norsu Interiors.

A photo on the business’ Instagram shows a kid’s room they’ve recently styled — and it’s very similar to the one presented by Ronnie and Georgia Caceres on the show.

Along with the same rose gold bed, the couple also used the same wall prints, toys and blush canopy used by the business.



cheats.

I don't personally see the problem.

Isn't that where you're supposed to get our inspiration from? Look at photos on decorator magazines and copy them? If Norsu don't want people using their ideas, don't make them public.

why wouldn't the show work? you think they come up with all those ideas all on their own?
In 15 yrs of painting the most common method of decorating was for the bored housewife to show me a picture and say 'I want that'.

What Channel is this on? What is the basic concept of the show, please?

I have watched a few "interior design" type shows on Foxtel .... they have been British though.  I wonder whether it is a similar concept ...  I really enjoyed the British series.

Here is a link to the Great Interior Design Challenge that I have watched.

its on 9 nef.. but its nothing to do with posh shows like on Fox...its where 5 couples get to turn something that is falling apart into a million dollar home....in this case its five very old houses and the couples start from scratch and basically rebuild them....well they get a lot of help from tradies..

Ah, right.  So a little bit like that "Selling Houses Australia" where PROFESSIONALS help people but this show lets amateurs do it (with money from Channel 9).



I usually record this type of show so that I can fast-fwd through all the chatter.  ;D

I did see that actually. I didn't mention it cause I wasn't commenting on her guilt, only that all the contestants do it. But since you asked I'll give you my opinion of her

She subscribes to the interior designers website, and that photo was one they sent her BEFORE she did the room. She can cry all she wants that she didn't copy it. She's full of sh1t

I bet she's a liberal voter.

I watched that episode and like all similar episodes on all these 'reality' programs, etc - its all just for ratings.
They all fight, but just when you think they are going to take it to the limit ...they all cave in and kiss and make-up.

They all accuse and then renege. They all start and then back down. It's all huff and no puff.

I wasn't surprised by the outcome.
Just another scam for ratings ...because no-one really bothers unless there is something scandalous, fight, etc going on.

Pretty sad when the Contestants have 'always' just COPIED every other interior design already out there.  ::)
Boring!

well there must be a reason   anyone would think you lived on the moon..if you can  get ABC then the others should be there....you probably need an outside aerial.one of those things on a pole...theres a whole heap of channels now on free to air....not just the 3 amigoes..

Vast is a free to air government satellite service that uses the OPTUS satellite service to transmit.   You do need to buy the set top box (look on ebay around  450) and you do need to subscribe to VAST and have a reason for doing so.  You would have no problem.    You get most main free to air stations in high quality.    You would need a satellite dish though, but it is easy to set up as FOXTEL use the same satellite.     You can also buy a portable satellite dish that you could set up yourself - after a few times, it is dead easy.    Just google VAST and there is a lot of info

Yes - the smell of rain is the best.
I reckon I have few grey hairs because of my hair being rained on a lot.
I love storms in many ways.
I think a woman soaked by rain is the most erotic image.
I love how the lands are revitalised by the rains.
I love rain on windows.
I love the cloudy grey jovian skies.
I love how rain washes and cleans.

I love the rain.

well back to the block..

I have caught up with it again....and at last scotty is getting down to the nitty gritty...I feel for Sarah and Jason  but really have you ever seen a less happy less motivated couple in all your life....they both look as depressed as hell...how did they pass the test for the show...scotty said 10.000 people applied.....and yet they end up with this couple.... ::) ::)

Ronnie and Georgia are the couple I dislike the most.. I find them really insincere and the cuddling is totally fake...I dont think she likes him at all   they have seen this as an opportunity and they will be the best no matter what....both up themselves....dont like them..

I do love wombat   he has a big heart  I hope they do well..

This is the first season I've watched......some of the room reveals are gobsmackingly stunning imo.

Favorite contestants are Sticks & Wombat and Josh & Elyse.   Really dislike Georgia and Ronnie, but they are certainly talented renovators. 


me too something about that pair that doesnt ring true.... he is so smug..the way he treated Jason tonight was the pits...he creeps me out.. and shes like a sack of sour grapes..always ready to bite someone head off.... and they seem to spend more money than anyone else???  never in a panic to finish.. so must not have a problem with tradies....how come  it all looks so rosy and easy  for that pair... ::) ::)

I am very very suss about them

well back to the block..

I have caught up with it again....and at last scotty is getting down to the nitty gritty...I feel for Sarah and Jason  but really have you ever seen a less happy less motivated couple in all your life....they both look as depressed as hell...how did they pass the test for the show...scotty said 10.000 people applied.....and yet they end up with this couple.... ::) ::)

Ronnie and Georgia are the couple I dislike the most.. I find them really insincere and the cuddling is totally fake...I dont think she likes him at all   they have seen this as an opportunity and they will be the best no matter what....both up themselves....dont like them..

I do love wombat   he has a big heart  I hope they do well..


You're really hooked into this cods aren't you.
Well whatever turns you on. I run a mile from these reality shows myself but there you go.

Not many will admit it but I love reality TV as well Cods- but no commercial channels here so we ony see what the channels themselves make available online for us to veiiw- my first reality experience and most dont like - it but it was Big Brother for me- yes I know so banal and yet I tuned in every day when I could-

yes I watched it about 3 years  then it went pearshaped for me....

I seem to prefer the aussie versions as well to the o/seas ones... maybe I am getting brainwashed  ;D ;D

I dont watch survivor 

another one I will confess to watching  is that one where for brides try to win a freebee honeymoon by having the best or the worst weddings possible....

it is so crappy it hypnotises me... ;D

I decided I didnt like any of the females on the show....its the same with the block  I dont like the females  they all seem so hard and bitchy....and most dominate the men...they irritate me ...Im very hard to please I think

I guess once I get a few eps under my belt I might get to know the personalities better- but for me I must admit it is more the design decorating aspect atm -as I love that stuff- and last night episode gave me a little glimpse and now I want more- and can you keep me updated as to what is on commercial free to air and I will see if I can find it online?  I need to read some back story on the current block to bring me up to date quickly-

I watched The Bachelor for the first time this series.  Probably wouldn't bother in future, though I did find it kind of addictive in a cringeworthy way.

Hi Alinta- yes they are all mostly cringeworthy but as you say kind of addictive- Big Brother is such a stupid show but I had to watch it every day- lol- who knows why ?

there is design shows on all over free to air agnes   ABC has one   I dont watch them  as I have no intentions of doing anything here.....those days are over 

theres also Better Homes and Gardens on Friday night. and House Rules on channel 7 will be back soon   thats a good one....

Post by Agnes on Sep 15th, 2017 at 12:50pm
My place is pretty much how I like it cods- I have always been interested in design mostly interior so its mostly just for fun - when I was a kid I wanted to go into design- just an interest because I love it- I love natural textures and farics and candles  - better homes is ok and gardens but ABC used to have a couple of good ones-yes I must look around online because I can steam that one directly

so Ron and Georgia win again....really?..

I know its hard to tell froma TV  camera but their house looks DARK  it looks to me to be oppressive....and as for smug ronnie   he needs a right serve....

so arrogant

didnt like what happened last night Jason is two faced.......first he says they didnt deserve their win....

then he pretends shock when they get points taken off them...

if ever two couple say PHONY to me it Jason and Sarah...for a couple who couldnt finish one room in a week   to suddenly finish two rooms in a week plus have a win.......doesnt sit right with me at all..

and Ronnie and Georgia never seem to have money problems yet have all the luxury....ie tradies... ::) ::)
