house rules / reno rumble
- Thread starter neeko
- Start date
No sucked in here.
Those shows leave me as cold as a MIL's stare.
Terrible; and sooo scripted for drama
But; have been sucked into "The Walking Dead!!"
Now that's drama.
Gratuitous violence, gore, eye candy, etc.
Had a "Dead-a-thon" with my 13 year old son last Fri night - watched 4 recorded episodes in a row.
I watched 2 more on my own last night (he's already seen them - couldn't wait for me).
i don't mind The Block reveal episodes - but I don't want to be reminded of the crap that can go wrong with renos during the process, though - or watch the ridiculous dramas in between.
likewise, I enjoy seeing how simple houses are often re-imagined with their floor plans on shows like House Rules, etc. I also like seeing how The Block often take a pretty rooted building and re-imagine the spaces.
I think there's a lot of money with these approaches...I would have thought most Somersoftians would be watching with evil specufesting intent.

You could also try "Rome" and "Spartacus" for
Probably not quite for the 13yo, as the eye candy is ... hmmm ... "full" on.Gratuitous violence, gore, eye candy, etc.
But it's educational, because it's historical!!

Channel 7 buy the houses? Don't think so
Some friends very nearly made it on the one about to start.
I live up the road from the WA couple who came second last year. They bought it and still own it, but were trying to sell.
Dont think this is true.
The back stories are normally highly dramatised. Everyone has to have a dramatic reason to need to win - they cant just be normal people who want a free reno and the opportunity to win some cash.
Despite all this, i still enjoy watching most of the series. I find it more reno based and realistic than the Block, IMO
Um...that stuff is the show.
Without being too offensive, does anyone else think that the My House Rules contestants are all at the lower end of inteligence? They all seem really nice but none appear to be that bright. I wonder if this is part of the selection process?
I contrast this to The Block contestants who seem miles ahead. The Reno Rumble show highlights this a bit.
This does not necessarily affect the reno/styling abilities. Just an observation.
