House Rules is back

You’re not missing a huge amount.
The teams are, so far, mostly bland and likeable enough. Toad from the country (I wasn’t paying enough attention to get his real name) is a bit of a character. Two of the teams know each other from back in the day (when the guy halves of the teamd played AFL together), so I imagine they’re the secret-alliance that the ads have been going on about.
No sign of either Joe Snell or his brightly-coloured trousers, but the blond judge man is back. Caroline is back too … possibly to her detriment. The major accident in the first episode that was featured heavily in the advertising? That was Caroline. She was talking a team through their choice of dining room chairs when a giant plank of timber swung down from the ceiling and took her out. The ambulance arrived and she seemed quite shaky, but she was recovered and back on-site by the end of the episode, so all’s well that ends well. She made it back just in time to tell the country boys that they’d put some concrete wall paneling on backwards. Good times.
The fighting couple (who 7 obviously picked for drama sakes) are already a little testing. I imagine they’ll get on all our nerves by the time this is done.
Windsong has pretty much nailed it. Feel like I’ve been hit with a sledgehammer.
MKR has passed the baton of banality to this show.
Thank you, Windsong. Poor Caroline!
Half way thru the episode, i realised I tuned out. It doesn’t bode well for the rest of the season.
I liked the idea of all doing a house together first. You get to know teams before you have to do their house etc. the prize money coming from this is a good idea too.
Also liked the idea of all of them doing a house together and using the profit from the auction of that house for the prize money. Wonder if the amount they get will be based on their placement on the leader board.
Overall, though, episode was boring and I fast forwarded through a lot of it.
Questionable safety with that piece of timber hitting Carolyn quite hard.
Two teams have to share an area and that’s not working out well. Plants that were purchased are not being shared equitably. Both teams complaining about each other.
Why do the producers/powers that be have them create a nursery? Think it would have been better to create a study/bedroom combination.
Apparently Carolyn fractured her sternum and a couple of ribs (I read an interview with her in the paper this morning), so it wasn’t exactly a minor injury, either.
Ouch. It was scary when it happened. Then to see the bruise. Poor Carolyn!
I have been wondering if I should hop onto MC or HR just to join the gang, but I think I might stick to my other regular programmes and wait for another FWAW or some nonsense like that.
Forever We Are Wolves?
Huh????
Watch one or the other so you can join in. Watch HR just to see Laurence Llewellyn Bowen’s outfits. LOL
Watch MC to hear about the Nonnas and see the contestants jump, flap, gasp, scream and cry.
Not gonna lie. I adore LLB just a little bit. Maybe I’ve been drinking the kool-aid, but I think he’s brilliant.
I might poke my nose in and see if I can get hooked.
My recording failed. Should I bother watching online?
No.
LLB’s worth it but last night was a fail.
Give me that over the deification of bog standard nonnas any day,
