Yep and she doesn't look directly into the camera a lot of the time. She must be reading off cue cards, although you think she'd have memorized it all by now.

I think she does all the recordings in one go. It is really pointless, I am amazed nobody realised at the time of filiming that it was a bit repetitive.

"but what about the third option"

Aaaaarggghhhh! My husband and I know what she is going to say each and every time the picture goes to her.

More like 5 outfits and 4 phrases:

Well, that all looks very inviting

So, very different to their life back in the UK

Oh dear, will this throw the whole move in jeopardy

This house is slightly (ie 140k) over budget but something for the family to aspire to...

...all said as if we've been hitting the valium a little too hard.

And that's it! I forward all of her bits now, get straight to the houses and jobs, skip to the final vote and then that's it. So each episode is about 15 mins max, perfect!

You've all had far too much time off work to watch this me thinks! LOL Looking forward to seeing our fellow BE'er today though, I'm getting to watch it in real time today too as I'm unemployed as of Friday and Australia bound in 6 sleeps!

Lol

I'm sorry but Louise is far too small with not an ounce of fat on her, thats not right, 3 kids she should have the tuck in tummy fat going on at least?

It is hard when your hubby really wants to go - I hope she likes it, if it makes her feel better I have 4 kids, a dodgy heart and have to manage all 4 kids while my husband works shift and we have family within walking and short driving distance who do absolutely sod all !!!
It's do-able upsetting sometimes but do-able.

I want to know how they got they're little girl to crash out on the sofa like that?

Nice family, why aren't they going to Melbourne though then they would have family close by to help ? If it'd make a difference?

Bless her I wouldn't want to share my home with my inlaws but then again it would be blood shed if it was my inlaws lol

LOL! We've found that copious amounts of alcohol helps

plus my brother and his family are coming over in April for 6 weeks (from Oz), then it's baseball season, before we know it it'll be Christmas () then only 6 months to go after that. Wish my life away? Me??

Louise says thank you JenJen. They got her age wrong (31 not 28) although I would say she does look 28! We are a little surprised that they focussed so much on my parents coming with us as it was only a small thought and very unlikely to happen. Thankfully it's been and gone now and I'll jut wait for the piss take tomorrow from both the kids and staff!!

Looking forward now to the Revisited, I think in a week or so

Alan
