I must find out how that woman in todays episode stomps her feet and sulks so effectively I've tried that on my hubby when all else has failed and it doesn't work :confused:

He still didn't look overly convinced to me but nevermind.

He'll do what she says. Did you see that menacing look she kept giving him? :eek:

I reckon I would rather swim in the croc infested sea than cross her :D

I was hoping there were going to choose some couples for a change, rather than familes with kids all the time just to show what kind of lifestyle can be offered etc.:huh: Looking at the listing it does not seem as if there will be much of a change in locations, still I will be watching, I am puzzled I still find it strangly addictive :confused:

Me too. I applied in about April last year. Professional couple looking to move to NSW, work in Sydney, live in Northern Beaches with a budget for a four bedroomed house, I am sure it would have made an interesting program or at least something a bit different because I have watched 11 identical programs so far. Not a peep out of them though. :rolleyes:

The couple who looked at Darwin didn't have any kids...although one was on the way.

No kids = no opportunity for sad grandparents faces on the family video & no opportunity to trot out.....'we're doing it for the kids'. Both essential ingredients of the show.

Why would anyone want to immigrate to South Africa?

A piece of paradise in Brissie! :thumbsup::beer: How can I refuse? :p

But we'll have to arrange a get-together here some time as well. I don't see why the meet-ups should be confined to those already "on the other side" :lol:
