Seven are now ramping up their coming soon and sneak peek ads for their new renovation show – House Rules. House Rules is Seven’s version of Nine’s The Block where complete strangers renovate poeple’s houses room by room over 6 weeks. Seven have now also thrown in “state vs state” into the advertising.

Sound familiar? It is – Nine’s first promos for 2013′s regular season of The Block – The Block Skyhigh – promoted the show as “state vs state” as well. In Skyhigh, there will be 5 couples competing instead of the usual four. Continue reading »

OK – it seems like this.

Australia’s Got Talent

Kyle Sandilands, Timomatic, Dawn French and Mel B are the supposed judges. Yet it was just announced that Channel 7 has a court injunction against Mel B leaving Seven’s X Factor for it’s rival Channel Nine (is there any other rival?)
