I watched it, DH did sudokus while it was on but was half watching/listening. We talked a bit about what came up & were both so appalled by the way Allison spoke to her husband. So sad sad.gif I hated the way they did the scoring in a stage like environment, so cheap & commercialising.

I thought it was really interesting to watch. It's good to see the differing expectations and pressures from both sides of a relationship. I will keep watching.

I also thought it was really good to watch. I think it will open up discussion in a whole lot of households. With so many 'reality' shows that are just basic entertaining but I think this one has some real substance and many people will relate to the challenges seen, as we navigate our own relationships.

It was good to watch with DP. We both laughed at some of the comments from the couple with the young children, where mum was a SAHM and Dad was WOHP, because we could recognise having said exactly the same things ourselves. Nice to know they are common issues- our kids are a little older so we have worked through things to an extent but I could definitely relate to how much of a stress having little kids and different roles can put on a relationship. I hope they work things out.
