Since the network decided to air two episodes at once, I’ve decided to review both episodes in the one post. After months of promotion and weeks of dragging it out, Delta Goodrem or as she’s known in the House Husbands world, Izzy Dreyfus, finally arrived! A little tip to the producers (if you by chance read this) don’t drag out
Read moreAfter the dramas of Nick’s secret coming out over the last few episodes, a light episode with simple A and B stories was necessary. The A story of Angie winning a family trip to Disneyland was sweet and light-hearted without being corny. I did enjoy the opening scene of Angie calling the radio station, although I question the realism of
Read moreLast week’s episode focused on the fallout of Nick’s secret being revealed to the guys. This episode shifted focus to the fallout with Rachel. Despite my stated hatred for Rachel in previous reviews, I have also admitted that it’s obvious that the writers have chosen to make her a permanent character. Due to this choice, the writers have focused on
Read moreLast month I came across Virtual Runs Australia as I was looking for different ‘sports’ to compete in on top my fun walking. I love fun walking and training for fun runs, however I do worry about the injuries I’ve inflicted on myself in the process–a fractured shin, a sprained foot and now a medial ligament sprain. The medial ligament
Read moreSo this episode explored the ramifications of Nick’s secret coming out, just as I thought it would, or at least with the guys. I felt that the guys alternating between resenting and helping Nick was realistic and done well, displaying how much their friendship with him has grown. While Nick certainly had to tell Rachel the truth, I felt that
Read moreSo we’re nearing the halfway point of the season which means that a story arc usually reaches it peak. In this episode, I’d say that the major story arc–Nick’s secret gambling–is starting to reach its peak. Throughout the episode there’s a build up of Nick’s desperation to pay back a gambling debt, which I felt was rushed a little since
Read moreLast Wednesday (March 1) I had my fifth and last physio session with Eliza. This session was basically a follow up on the exercises and anything else that happened over the last month. I told her that there was one particular week where I experienced knee pain again, which made me feel like I was back at square one, but
Read moreOn Sunday 26 February, I completed the Illawarra Memory Walk & Jog 2017. The Memory Walk & Jog raises money for Alzheimer’s Australia. There were three distances that participants could complete: 7.5km run, 6.5km walk and a 2km walk. Due to my recent ligament injury, I chose to complete the 2km walk. Weather-wise the day was overcast and humid after
Read moreI published a blog post on Christmas Eve last year about my decision to go on a “fun walking not running tour” this year. I wrote that my tour would involve participating in fun runs in all of the capital cities. I have now settled for completing at least one fun run in every state and territory and have even
Read moreThis is the first episode that I’ve actually enjoyed this season. While the previous three episodes weren’t bad, I feel that they have fallen flat and been a bit underwhelming. Inevitably this episode was going to focus on the fallout of the revelation that Bernie wasn’t Mark’s biological father and that Mark would subsequently look for him. I felt that
