It's back and it's struggling. It only narrowly beat 'The World Around Us' on Seven after just two weeks on air. Has the bubble burst?

My how quickly the mighty have fallen.

Well I was forced to watch the first instalment of this new series (I was sick and stuck on the couch) and I hated everyone in it, so I don't watch it.

Simple. :p

Give it a few weeks to gain some momentum... I think from memory the 1st series took a few weeks to build up. I think in about 3-4 weeks will be a better indication. After they have completed a reoom or 2.

Apparently it's ratings on the weekend were some 40% down on the same episode in the last series.

Fingers crossed it gets the arse, not a fan of Mr. Durie.

I watched it last night, decided to give it another chance and didn't mind it.

But then again I like watching those house shows and watching what others do with their homes, like renovating and stuff. Dunno why, it just amuses me. ;)

Me neither. I'm a fan of some of his buddies though.

I go on the website for the articles:eek:

JUBJUB have a look for yourself. From memory theres some Brett Lee lookalikes on there.

Adam West is a talent though, real up and cumer has alot of potential could be the next David Hughes (not the comedian the long blonde haired, blue eyed Manpower hunk).

So 9 have all their chips on The Block and 10 have all theirs on Big Brother. It would be interesting to see them go head to head.

Was actually beaten by Seven 'World Around Us' this week. Things aren't looking good for Golden Boy Jurie. And I couldn't be happier about it.

Last year it was really a home decoration show, this year it is about stuffing around with builders and living in dust.

Dear Channel 9. Watching people trying to obtain builders, brickies, plumbers, etc. is as boring for them as it is for us. Please stop trying to pad out the show with boring filler. That is why your ratings are bad.
