The Block

Hi there my name is Paul ive worked for minos structral engineering and in my 8 months there ive never seen such poor quality welding especially when joining two pieces of rhs steel together welds grinded back to hide the fact of two bits of steel joined as a whole length of steel reinforcing simply because they didnt have a long enough piece of steel to begin with so they illegally join two pieces to make one hmmmm and they use unqualified boilermakers to cut cost to top it off minos the ceo abuses bullies staff and makes them wait for wages and sacks staff over phone. Ive never seen or worked in a place quite like this if the series the block is experiencing complications on there modules coved in runs from unexpirenced painters or imperfections doesn't suprise me but id be finding a much better business to make your modular.

I cannot believe the bar has fallen so low for television these days. I remember when the block was about renovating houses and not creating needless drama on set just to hold what viewers they have left. This show is just flashy advertising and no real form of entertainment anymore.

One show I looked forward to, among a few others; it had a colorful group of contestants and a lil bit of fun drama..That said, the past few seasons the "judges" have been been erking something. One particular episode they were criticizing a kitchen and Daren Palmer made some dribbling comments about the 'flow' between the appliances and some other areas around the sink and trash bin being being incorrect... Having been a draftsman for some time, I knew it was nonsense here because the work flow is set in the pattern the contestants used, so I double checked the aussie design principles and found they also follow the work flow pattern.. That started a snowball in my brain.. Shayna Blaze a "style guru"!?..imposter I say! Season 18 rolled around and by episode 15 I had had enough of the judges dribble.. I paused the dvr until next season.....

I thought this show was about building not about all this other stuff. Can't stand it now. I'm not watching it again.

Season 16 was superb. Season 17 is hard to enjoy beacause half cooked personalities, mainly from All Stars. Ronnie and Georgia especially manage to suck all the air out of the room. Hard to appreciate a team show when the dominating mentality is 'You are either against us or under us! Your choice!?' Please cast better on season 18.
