The Block

I wonder if the judges wished they could eliminate both the second teams instead of one from each episode.

The first winner's room looked really good.

I will try to watch it. I have been a fan for years. But I can't stand the twins. They being back on the show might be enough for me to not watch it.

Had to laugh at the expressions when the judge told them to axe cut the cushion to style them 😄

So, I have been watching it.

The show is one big advertisement for suppliers/products.

The building and the decorating is very "high end" marketing.

Those with "high end" finances, most probably don't watch the programme. Is it only we "dreamers" "when I win Lotto" that watch?

The everyday joe-blow can't afford to put in most of the features, a RRP $8,000 bath?

I don't think I've seen or heard about exhaust fans in the bathrooms yet. Obviously not a high priority on the "decorating scale"?

The bathroom queens are having some hissy fits (some may think, justifiably). The show is becoming more of a show of "characters" rather than a building/decorating programme.

However, I do like Scott Cam's man cave / tally room.

Yes, I liked the first series more where they had to do the hard work and budget hard too 😄

The twin girls are not my faves. I'll be catching up while at work today.

i think the twins are much more likeable in this series, and i do think shaynna is being a **bleep** to them.
she talks about tryhards, she is the princess of tryhards - darren is the queen.

I don't generally watch it but did last night. I think their bathroom was really good. It didn't deserve the low score but...................I believe the whole show is scripted. It's about advertisers and advertising $'s.
