Is this the nicest (and possibly gayest?) Block yet? If you peeped the first ep of Nine’s long-running reality series, you’d have seen this year’s crop of hopefuls riding atop some gloriously decorated Pride floats down the main drag of regional Daylesford — a lovely way to kick things off.
And so nice that we started this season with a celebration of love and unity as we were introduced to this year’s hopefuls, which include lesbian couple Han and Can, along with Robby and his gay bestie, Mat. It felt a far cry from last year’s festival of negativity, rumoured adultery and downright mean-girl behaviour (let’s never speak of the Phillip Island series again), and this year’s contestants look a lovely bunch — particularly WA cop couple Britt and Taz, who I already know I’d let pop me in the back of a paddy wagon.
Producers look like they’ve gone out of their way to make sure this year’s Block experience is a positive one for contestants — and viewers.
The work site is now shut up every night, with contestants forbidden from toiling away after hours, so no more all-nighters! They’re also all staying together in a communal campsite (complete with deluxe caravans) — Kumbaya, anyone? Best of all, they’ve all been given the building schedule ahead of time, so no nasty budget surprises.
That’s enough to put a smile on anyone’s face, especially WorkSafe and Nine’s HR department, who surely weren’t looking for a repeat of last year’s shenanigans.
I visited the site a few months ago — it’s impressive! No spoilers, but know this: Block fans won’t be disappointed with the way these houses take shape.
Give us ALL the rainbows and unicorns please, The Block. It’s about all we can take right now.
I am starting to seriously worry about my other half: his streaming algorithms are basically end-to-end true-crime docos. Yikes! Now he can add this excellent four-parter to the watch list. It’s all about the murder of four girls at a frozen yoghurt shop in Austin, Texas, back in 1991. Though two people did time for the crime, questions surround the confessions they gave. This is a fascinating look at police investigations, crime reporting and the concept of “false memory”. But it’s the families’ stories that make this most impactful — and a devastating watch. Must-see.
This season of The Twelve is set in and around Margaret River, with certified Silver Fox Brett Colby (aka Sam Neill) headed off down south to defend the husband of a pal. This has a stacked cast and great premise.
Everyone’s favourite moody teen is back, skulking the halls of Nevermore Academy on the hunt for more foes to fell. This season her family play a much more central role — can’t wait for more Morticia and Gomez!
I fell hard for this great comedy starring Rose Byrne and Seth Rogan; I’m so pleased it’s back. The first two eps of the new season drop this week, then one episode a week till October 1.
