yeyyyyyyyyyyyy Billie won....and the favoritism shown by George to both Georgia and Reynold was pretty bad I thought... on ya Billie....well deserved....

Yes - she was an exceptionally intelligent and hardworking young woman. It was well deserved. I agree with all the comments here, but every year it's the same. Regardless of who seems to be the judges' favourites - the best person always wins. They have to - otherwise the show would be boycotted.

The new show on 7 - Restaurant Revolution looks promising. These cooking competitions can be addictive.

hi mantra.. where you been???>.

I am watching the one on 9.. its a dead set rip off of MKR and the focus is on the contestants..more so I think than their cooking..I am not quite sure why I am watching it...I dont particularly like any of them....

the Rest Rev is all a bit confusing to me...and also a bit lobsided when some get heaps of money and others none.. I agree its good fun watching even more so when they brag and put others down.. then have their own massive fail..

Hi Cods. I was wondering the same thing about you as I haven't seen you posting for a couple of days. My computer has been playing up a bit and it's always a hassle getting my password working here when that happens.

I think Restaurant Rules will be the better show as the contestants are inexperienced and given money incentives to improve generally. The show must be costing a fortune to make.

Hotplate is OK, but all these people are already running average restaurants and only need a few tweaks to improve themselves.

You're not alone Cods. I watched the first two seasons of the Bachelor. Tim Robards was so good to look at, but the last one irritated me and the bloke this year doesn't look much better. I also hated seeing such desperate women. It's a real meat market.

we are on the same page there....the women are shockers this year..not one stunner amongst them..I feel for Sam to be honest....and the boring thought bubbles...always the same... "I think I am going home" "if I dont get a rose I will jump off a bridge".. omg.. I bet they are really thinking.. I hope she falls flat on her face...urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I had to suffer 10 minutes of The Bachelor last night waiting for The Zoo to start.

Dreadful show. The women are pathetic. "Oh oh I want a red rose because I know I am intelligent and interesting and could SO fall in love with him". What a crock.

As for him. I know we are all attracted to different types and looks but he did absolutely nothing for me.

It would be difficult to find a man with national appeal. It's not dissimilar to our choice of politicians - they get worse each year.

when you think of all these gorgeous men and women still being single at what.. well into their 30s.. it does make you wonder what the hell is wrong with them...

Roll Eyes

well it does me anyway...its kind of cringe worthy when you think about it.. writing into a reality show to find some one to love when everything is phony...I mean all those dates????... like you do that in the real world.........

I imagine the ones who go on tv 'looking for love' are just hoping for the money and/or exposure and the hope they will be picked up for another tv show.

I loved Rob Palmer on Better Homes and Gardens but they booted him off the show, after many years, and installed Adam who was a contestant on My House Rules. He got his foot in the door and got the exposure from MHR and is quite an affable personality but kicking Rob Palmer off the show to make room for Adam was a stupid decision IMO.

I rarely watch it now except for the Fast Ed segments which I can easily look up online later anyway, and usually do.

I didnt know Rob was booted.... I wondered where he was....thought he may have a gig on Dancing with the Stars,.. Roll Eyes

.. I liked him too I like Adam always smiling.. but the segments dont really teach you anything its all to fast and looks too easy when we know its not... I prefer theDIY on the Living room.. at least you see what they are doing...

I wish I knew what they were doing to my Saturday nights.. all the channels are dreadful...the ABC which I normally watch all night Sat.. is now all repeats of repeats...I am sick of it. I dont want to watch football.or old movies meant for teenagers.
