This week we’re lusting after the half-transformed houses on Dream Home, going hiking with Deborah and Ava on Hacks, tittering at the puerile humour of Tires and learning how to harness our anger with Myf Warhurst. As for that dinosaur show — parents: get ready for some difficult conversations at bedtime. What are we all thinking about Dream Home? Or as I like to call it, ‘House Rules 2.
0’. Sorry, but it has to be said: it’s totally the same show, right? Not that that’s a bad thing — there’s been a huge hole in my life since The Block finished up last year, and this is helping plug that reno/reality gap. I particularly enjoyed last night’s first judging — those rooms! I didn’t pay too much attention to what the judges had to say — in my mind, every contestant is already a winner.
After all, they’re all walking away with brand spanking new homes regardless. My loyalties still lie with The Block, but I’ll be tuning in on Sundays for some design inspo. Keep it coming! Journalism for the curious Australian across politics, business, culture and opinion.
Revisiting this latest series of Hacks to say — yes! I totally get it! This IS the best season yet. I was reserving judgment, but after watching the hilarious hiking episode, which saw Deborah and Ava embark on a walk in the wilderness, complete with bee sting, twisted ankle and some wonky Girl Guides-esque first aid attempts from Ava (that splint was relatably bad) I am in agreeance that this show do.
