I hate these 'reality ' bullshit TV shows and definitely don't watch the block, but it could have something to do with no-one being able to buy anything but run down old shacks that need renovations?
Is The Block a renovation story or an advertising story? Reportedly it's one of Nine's most valued programs because of its ability to fit so product placement and marketing into the show without losing viewers.
It's the last gasp of the TV industry. An industry which doesn't know how to adapt to changing times and keeps vomiting out the same crap year after year despite the fact that less and less people are watching. It won't be long before the TV networks are a footnote in history.
We are doing some renovations soon.. I just can't see prices going back down to pre-covid prices and neither can builders... the only thing that has improved is the lead time on materials. We are renovating to improve our house for us, it is old and tired and it would make things a lot more comfortable. I can't see a problem with it.
