Hoarding is really common, there are cleaning teams some of my family have worked for that's all they do -regularly clean out hoarders homes.

What's everyon ewatching on TV????????

Thursday nights have turned into my favourite TV night - I have non stop shows to watch that all fit one after the other perfectly after dinner.
1. Heston's feasts - god I love this nut
2. Graeme Norton - last night was awesome, his chat format is often like a party
3. Craig Ferguson - my obsession
4. Then in bed I watch old Cheers & Roseanne - I'm really enjoying these shows I never saw
Or Letterman if someobdy good is on.

So what are you guys watching?
Other nights - MKR & Craig Ferguson are all I have to watch, and Survivor night of course, friday I watch dancing. And I slot in Entourage/30Rock/Parks & Rec if I can.

My kids LOVE Heston. They watch every week..last week was weird seafood..all good. This week was Victorian (a la Alice in Wonderland) feasts..all good...UNTIL he went into the vibrator shop to work out which vibrator to use to get his jelly to wobble and ended up using a vibrating tongue. Ever treid to explain to a couple of 10 year olds what you would use a vibrating tongue for?? Or why people would buy them? Or why those bouncy stick things they were all laughing and joking about were so many different shapes? ahem..thanks Heston. Not.
 
Fringe got renewed for a 4th season. cools let;s hope next season is better then this one.
 
Oh Wynter that's hilarious, kids bewildered by adult 'toys'.

Heston has a new show starting on 7 or mate tonight, 7.30pm. Food challenges or something, first one is cooking on a commercial flight.
Cool, this fits in Thursdays perfectly, and Thursdays will have to become take-away night.

When all the master chefs were drooling over heston I thought it was a bit weird. Now I just want one of those fantastic fantasy experiences he creates, wouldn't it be wonderful.
Mmmm this has got me thinking, a fantasy food club would be fun, everyone makes something weird and you feast together.
 
Speaking of Masterchef has anyone seen the merchandising they've done?

Masterchef utensils wtf
Chocolate making kit from Big W wtf

And now My Kitchen Rules has got in on the act........

Hey people buying all that junk won't make you a cook
 
Masterchef stuff has been around since last season. MKR stuff is new, but if people want a MKR teatowel or a Masterchef cupcake kit, then fabulous. Good for them. Show merchandising isn't new. I remember a big brother merchandise shop on the BB OS that sold the rubber ducks from the housemate's bathrooms and tshirts with housemate catchphrases on them. If you don't like them, don't buy them?

Anyone watching Paper Giants?
Asher Keddie does a fantastic job as Ita.
Really enjoying all the retro fashion.
And Ian Meadows looks really hot with the beard and long hair.

I figured she must have stuck bubble gum behind her front teeth to get that lisp. She actually sounded like Ita. I flicked the channel over and knew who she was supposed to be before I even knew what the show was.

Yes, really enjoyed last night. Hope tonights episode is as good.
Amazing to see lots of retro-household items we grew up with also.
 
I wonder whether we'll see CLEO right through to today (who will play Lisa Wilkinson?), or just through the Ita years as editor?
