  1. I agree Menicci, and it’s gotten way too bitchy, but the way kept going on and on with Bec’s mother. Sorry for the family, but I want to see renovating. House Rules is much better.

  2. I have loved The Block since the very beginning but this series just isn’t working for me (and other too by the look of it). Aside from the sad passing of Bec’s mum, they are spending too much time on personal stuff and the mothers blubbing about missing their kids and how they are doing this for them…. yawn… heard it all before. And the challenges just drag on. The thing with the Zoo on Tuesday/Wednesday was terrible. I just want to see them knock down, renovate and decorate and the trials and tribulations that come with all of that. If I see any more dancing or singing I will probably have to switch it off. Not to mention Trixie’s maniacal laugh at the end of every sentence, what’s that all about? My husband who was a devoted viewer is now only bothering with the Sunday reveal show. Whoever is editing this needs a stern talking to!

  3. I’m gonna assume Sbs will want to renew Borgen . It’s getting around 125k,which isn’t that bad for them.Season 2 has already aired in the Uk.As part of the deal how far in arrears would sbs have to stay and any guess when we’ll see season 2 here?
