  3. The Bachelorette is becoming awful… Oh the dancing. God help me with the dancing from Ivan “I think I’m Channing Tatum”. It’s not funny to watch, it’s just embarrassing – I found myself blushing for him (he was way too unaware to).
    Shaun Micallef was excellent last night – very funny!!

  4. Can I just say I actually surprised myself and Im enjoying Playing for Keeps. When I saw the ads on 10 before it started I thought it wouldn’t be great but saw the 2nd episode and now I watch it. Also maybe because there isn’t much else to watch.
