...The other thing I hate about this show is when they look round the houses - and they don't like say the bathroom. It's portrayed as if the whole move could be in jeopardy because one house doesn't suit

Re today's couple. Did anyone else think that the guy looked like Prince William?!
During the 'Reality Check' section, they would be significantly better off in Oz than in the UK. But, of course, they don't have any children as yet, and raising children ain't cheap! |

I find their work and finance expectations often to be quite surprising. I was amazed the other day when a woman renting a flat in Scotland for a few hundred pounds thought that by moving to Australia she would suddenly be able to afford a house for £1100 per month rent. Seemed like cuckoo land to me!
I am also surprised the number that have never actually been to Australia before who are considering moving there. |

I saw one where they were looking at moving to Darwin. The mum made a big thing about the kids being outdoors all the time and playing in the sea, but once they got there, they were told that the box jellyfish made it too risky to go in sea most of the year.
There was a stagnant looking lido just inshore though. I knew someone who'd lived in Darwin. He said he had to buy new clothes every year because it's so humid that all your clothes rot and get mildewed! I suppose you'd need aircon on permanently. |

Something people don't realise is that if you work at all outdoors then in much of Aus you need to be getting up at stupid O'Clock to get the hours in before its just too damn hot to work. |

Today's couple were intensely annoying with their expectations and findings. The fact that the husband was tattoo Charlie didn't help matters and the fact that he couldn't seem to drive any car with two hands on the steering wheel. His wife was also called Shade, need I go on?
An intensely annoying programme and format and only caught this one by accident but shan't be watching any more of this cringe inducing waste of daytime telly. |

Apparently the couple today have split up, not surprised.
I liked her, she had her feet on the ground but he came across as a bully |

Where did you see that, Facebook or the BBC website? He was so pushy and she had never been outside the UK. I think her name was Sade as in the singer but he called her Shad.
