I hated WDU, not the families, but the programme itself :curse:, they barely gave those poor families time to really enjoy the destination, and if I saw that Flag Flipping thing again, I think I'll cry and cry...

How can anyone get over the ruddy jetlag, start a job, for a day, and get your butt out and about to really get a feel for the place, and Nadia was so irritating.. it was all so unfair on the families..

hope they're all getting on with relocating, without the 'help' of Nadia the hologram

p.s. was she really there, or was she superimposed into footage after the fact
