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 Grin

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... Grin

I know the one you mean lol- it pretty bad but i stil watch it- i watch the Bachelor as well - so much junky tv- its the voyeur in all us i think- i am going to try to get my commercial channels working-i miss them- Cry

how tragic is that

I have been turned off the Bachelor this time..watched it till a couple of weeks ago..
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-

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 ?

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... Roll Eyes

Are the room reveals always on the Sunday show?????

Cheesy
