The Block and all shows beginning 'The'

Hello Blog-o-Verse.  All will be pleased to know that TV ratings season is here and the networks are rolling out their top rating shows.  First up is The Block.  In tonight's episode, couple Dan and Dani wow the viewers with their spectacular mangling of the English language.  The other couple featured tonight, Courtney and Mr Boofhead (Brad), are not much better in their banal observations. "Like it's just surreal with everything totally happening at once" and "Like, it's totally such an overwhelming experience...." and "Dan please give your friggin honest opinion about something."

Strangely, for a show that thrives on product placement, the exterior of the cars the contestants are driving has not been shown once, nor has any car company badge.  Perhaps the cars are a big secret?

After 'The Block' is another 'The' show....'The Voice' soon to be followed by yet another 'The' show, with 'The Celebrity Apprentice'.   At least 'The Celebrity Apprentice' will feature 'The Hoff'.  Tremendous excitement at over use of the word 'The'.

Now The Block judges are judging the first room.  One utters the prize winning sentence (talking about a mock decoration searchlight): "What they've done is interpreted the mood of that light really well." Lights have moods?  Dan and Dani, having been judged worthy to move into the competition, have an attack of the weepies.  The auto cue must have told them to burst into tears.
