The Block and shonky dialogue

Greetings readers.  For those watching 'The Block', perhaps you share Mycroft's amazement that every 'couple' is introduced to the elimination challenge by a shot of them walking up the street.  For each and every couple, it goes something like this:

Enter Couple.
Couple: "We were given an address and then we walked up the street and there was a big red house there"
Camera pans to Scotty.
Scotty: "Welcome to my big red elimination house"

Then there is an interview about the introduction:
Enter Couple.
Couple Person 1: "We were given an address and then we walked up the street and there was a big red house there"
Couple Person 2: "We were given an address and then we walked up the street and there was a big red house there"

Seriously, is this the best the director could do? Sadly I suspect the answer is 'yes'.

Other 'strange' events in the show include:

1. Each team picks the same colour paint for their room
2. Each team has an utterly piss-weak 'crisis' such as the phone battery being flat or a 15 ton piece of furniture won't fit in the back of a (no name) car
3. The father/daughter team where the father seems to have had a complete personality bypass
4. The eerie glow around the bald judge's head caused by a rather strange lens filter on the camera
