Re: Wanted Down Under - 15 minutes of my life gone
Cliffhanger, exactly, the bloke in this one said that it would be all over if the vulva of his choice said no ... at the end, what? Nothing! No messy split, no fights, no blood ... is this entertainment I ask you?!

It would be so much more exciting, if one of them said :"Stuff you, I'm off, I have always hated your mother/friend/dog, this is a great excuse"
and maybe the kids could divorce the parents?
Now that would be compulsive viewing.

Re: Wanted Down Under - 15 minutes of my life gone
Seen some interesting update ones, well they wouldn't show uninteresting ones, one where the man was very keen, she wasn't, had 16 yr old son and 11 year ols daughter, eventually with some persuasion from hubby they decided to move to Oz. Update about 3 yrs later showed they had moved, without son, who had stayed behind because his gf was pregnant, Hubby had returned to UK to supervise the house sale while she got a job and found place to live. Hubby never made the move, son moved back in with him, and mother and daughter were really enjoying their life in Oz, she had made a lot of friends whjo had helped her over the split.

Re: Wanted Down Under - 15 minutes of my life gone
currently in uk, you cant help but watch it, car crash tv.
take family who are super close to their huge fantastic extended family, wind up the kids in every episode, give them have a nice day at themepark, then a vote
show people property they cant afford, then australia comes out more affordable
erm 50k wage and almost two thirds after tax on mortage alone, but its more affordable??? nope sorry you would be broke.
some of the destinations are funny pacific pines again.... ipswich, darwin, and you never get to see them in mid summer, so the weathers always fab, yeah wait till summer mate
and shorter hours, everyone looks so shocked when they discover the working week is as bad/worse than uk, love the episode where it rains though and someone says we didnt expect that
right back on the plane its raining

Re: Wanted Down Under - 15 minutes of my life gone
Im currently looking to move to OZ so anything with australia on it interests me big time, but this program gets on my tits.
The majority of people who go on there are so delusional or just plain stupid its unreal!
Now when deciding if you want to emigrate the first thing you know is your leaving family behind so you just have to deal with that there is no way around it, you decide before you make a trip half way round the ******* world whether your willing to do that or not!
People expect to go out there, buy a house triple the size of their own, with a swimming pool, walking wardrobes and right next to the beach for half of the worth of their house in the UK!
Also expecting to earn triple the salary and work less hours is the norm for these people, do some ******* research before you go it wont be such a waste of your time or 45mins of my life I will never get back!
Still cant drag myself away from it though just wish some other familys who are really thinking of emigrating got the week instead, Phil down under on the other hand is a very good watch.
Rant over!

Re: Wanted Down Under - 15 minutes of my life gone
It was all 'oooooh isn't it terrible here in the UK we live to work' blah blah.
THEN, they arrived in Sydney and saw the price of houses. Suddenly she was thinking of all sorts of ways hubby could do more work on the side, work weekends etc! Poor guy! I think he voted no and she voted yes.

Nothing will prepare you for dealing with the homesickness if just one of the family can't settle either
