After 10 weeks, one million tears and as many fights between Dan & Dani, The Block 2012 finale is here. Channel 9 will be expecting it to be a massive performer for them ratings wise especially given the success of the series. Sadly, more repeats of The Big Bang Theory will fill 7pm until the Olympics so MasterChef Australia should get a lift. Ch9 are also finally delivered Episodes, the Matt LeBlanc sitcom that premiered in the US 18 months ago and while reports are it’s not crash hot, it’s just about to finish it’s second season over there.
A Friday night special from ABC2 – Playing It Straight appears and it’s a reality show with another twist (think There’s Something About Miriam but not as trans-gender). 12 men compete for the affections of a central girl, and half of them are gay and are ‘playing it straight’ to try to win 50,000 pounds. With narration from Alan Carr you know what to expect. Also RocKwiz is back! Entering it’s 10th season with gusto this will be a great series to not miss on Saturday nights.
