This is my 3rd year watching The Block (an Australian build it drama/show) and I'm hooked.. possibly for life..

anyone else watching??

which team are you rooting for?

house 1 - Jolene & Adam
house 2 - Chantel & Wyatt
house 3 - Lisa & Rosco
house 4 - Courtney & Sev
house 5 - Rick & Tayla

It's a tough call for me this year.. I feel for Lisa & Rosco cuz they're yet to finish a bathroom.. oh wait.. they FINALLY finished one this week with the guest ensuite, but I kinda like Adam & Jolene..

Adam & Jolene seem to me to be the underdogs in many ways.. although he IS a Chippy and shes coming into her design style.. they've been smashing it pretty good overall..

Poor Rick having lost out last week due to an infected knee and having to go home, leaving his goofy daughter Tayla who isn't much of a help and doesn't seem ta have much of a design eye alone, lost big time this week even with 2018 winner Spence's help.. she's kinda flakey in my opinion..

absolutely HATE Courtney's laugh and although they seem to be winning a fair bit on their rooms.. they're spending is WAYYYYYYY over the top.. wondering if they'll have any $$ to actually finish their house..

Chantel & Wyatt seem to be smashing it as far as finishing their rooms fast along with the help of the infamous Cursio Brothers, but with Chantels "not adding color - beige bland only" attitude.. she just might lose the whole show..

Aside from that.. I enjoy watching reno/build shows for lotsa reasons.. I love building & designing chit and having the chance to see some awesome teams create some amazing spaces.. is a huge bonus for me.. gives me very creative ideas while finishing my own home renos..

I'm not forgetting the years I spent, working with my dad, while he showed me how to build.. frame walls, paint houses (inside & out), put on cladding, gyprock a wall / ceiling, measure and cut wood, lay flooring, insulate, minor plumbing and electrical, build stairs and ramps.. the list is endless.. and I valued every moment spent with him..

but there's a lot of shows today that give inspiration as well.. I had always hoped to meet that guy that drove a pick-up truck and knew how to build chit.. but that wasn't meant to be.. but I digress lol

some of my fave shows today are:
Fixer to Fabulous
Hometown
Sin City Rehab
Property Brothers: Under Pressure
Property Brothers: Celebrity IOU
Property Brothers: Forever Home etc
Renovation Aloha
Rock the Block
Battle on the Beach
Castle Impossible
Chateau DIY
George Clark (anything)
Holmes on Homes
Zombie house flipping (and other Zombie house reno shows)

and the list goes on.. another cool show I recently discovered is That Thrifting Show

so.. do you like these shows? if yes.. which ones are YOUR faves??
