There is a plethora of renovating TV shows bombarding our screens in Australia at the moment. And unfortunately I am a sucker for it all. The Block, Top Design and now The Renovators.
It's hilarious that I would even be watching it since we are going through a long-term renovation here at the Sow's Ear. Jason doesn't get why I would be keen to follow these programs.
He says, "Why would you watch that when you can watch me?"
Too true. But it's all in the editing, Jason! The action-packed drama is condensed into one hour...rather than the many hours, days, weeks or months it takes for a project to be totally completed here! Not that I'm complaining.
It is the unreality of reality TV that appeals to me! Where else but TV can you renovate an entire bathroom and bedroom within one week??
I've been getting a lot of emails (well, one) from readers, urging Jason and Mr Rooney, our travelling builder, to apply for one of these renovating shows. What do you think?
The tradie and the office worker...and their old fogey tunes. They'd put The Doug Anthony All Stars on the charts. Can you imagine? What a team!
p.s the lip sync is out on this video!

I freaking loved DAAS!! Thanks for the little blast from the past! I say definitely go for being on one of those shows...what's to lose?
ReplyDeleteGo for it you two! Definately!!
ReplyDeletePam x
Oh yeah, Uh Haaa, oh yeah. vote 1 Jase and the Rooney!
ReplyDeleteYep, that's a no brainer. I'd be viewing. I'd probably even avoid going out just to stay in and watch!
ReplyDelete"Why would you watch that when you can watch me?"
ReplyDeleteLove this comment, really funny :-)
Even if they don't make it to the tv shows, it would be nice to film them in action. You could make your own renovation show!
yeah you should def do it, so long as you are prepared to let the rest of Australia know all about your lives!!! (not my cup of tea)
ReplyDeleteIm a sucker for those shows and property shows too 60minute nakeover gives me the irrates tho.Bet all the wall papare falls down a few days later lol.
ReplyDeleteYes get the lads to do something on telly what fun.
That is so funny you should post this as I have been thinking about that too! They would be fabulous! I really don't watch any of these shows and haven't even watched an episode of the block but rest assured our whole family would watch if Jason was starring! Go for it!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Natasha.
I'm a sucker for those shows too. I have thought about entering but doubt I'd have the energy required. I'd take too many snack breaks!
ReplyDeleteJas and mr Rooney should do it!
Love these shows...now if Homemade came back on I'll be in heaven.
ReplyDeleteI'm addicted to those shows. Definitely go for it!
ReplyDeleteABSOLUTELY!!!! Go for it!!! They already have a fan base!
ReplyDelete"Grapevine" ia a favourite. I loved the Martin Gaye version, and Creedence did a great job of it too.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't aware that DAAS had covered it - in one of their more serious moments!
Yes, they should do it! The Block are calling for contestants right now - Do it!!!! They would be so much fun to watch. I too am a sucker for all of the renovating shows on at the moment. If only we could do our house that fast and have access to all of those tools and furnishings. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh do it! I would love to see Mr Rooney in action! A-M xx
ReplyDeleteI have seeeeeeeen Jason on your blog. Of course his comment is warranted ;-) But yeah - Go for it! I'd even be tempted to fly over and check out the show!
ReplyDeleteIt's all about the look of the rooms though isn't it..design..who knows what real shortcuts they take. I don't think I'd like to buy anything created on those shows! Go Jason and Mr Rooney!
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by lovely I really appreciate it....I have to really catch up on your renovations.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your next instalment where you tell us you have submitted an application form....:)
Never say never, it could be brilliant viewing & da dah, cash?? I do worry about the 'finish' on these thrown together renovated jobs, i think slow & steady will certainly last longer. Love Posie
