So how many families actually all sit down and watch FTA tv together like they do on Gogglebox?
Interesting Gogglebox competition.
They watched MAFS again this week (in the US) and it was Mikeyâs story again. I wonder if heâs getting some extra cash for agreeing for it to be used? I really want them to see Hayleyâs blow up and the girls night.
Gogglebox Australia - Season 12

Group General Manager of LifeStyle Wendy Moore said: âThe last season of Gogglebox hit our screens just as we were all forced into lockdown and sharing this strange experience with our favourite families as we watched the world change day by day was a really powerful experience, loved by more people than ever before. Itâs like a balm that instantly connects you to the rest of humanity, and I know the Lifestyle audience is hungry for another season to start.â

Theyâre in the cast. Theyâre only recent additions. Why wouldnât they be there?

Recent editions or not, they provide absolutely nothing to the program. Doesnât help when they try too hard to be funny.

Well thatâs down to the producers to pick the right moments to include in the show.
Surely I canât be the only one who thinks that with Melbourne currently under lockdown, the producers shouldâve thought about trying more Queensland-based households (especially since thereâs less restrictions in the Sunshine State than Victoria or even NSW at the moment) in their place during this upcoming season? Sure this would mean temporarily missing some fan favourites, but Iâd vastly prefer them to prioritise their health over appearing on TV!
Aside from that observation, hopefully thereâll be a bit more variety in terms of the programs reviewed although it seems likely that The Block and The Bachelor/ette will make it on there most weeks.

Weâll probably see Wentworth, Emergency and The Farmer Wants A Wife (root) to name a few as those shows will be airing in the new season.

GOGGLEBOX AUSTRALIA RETURNS
Hump day has never felt so good with the return of Gogglebox Australia to our screens tonight on Foxtelâs LifeStyle channel at 7.30pm (AEST) and Thursday at 8.40pm on Ten.
The four-time TV WEEK Logie award winning show, now in itsâ twelfth season, sees Australiaâs favourite households back on the couch. Speaking of couches, one household actually shows off their fancy new couch, while another Goggleboxer reveals their brand-new tattoo. And there are some even bigger surprises since we last watched our Goggleboxers watching television: Isabelle Silbery got engaged, someone has a new boyfriend and there is some very special news for Di; who was honoured with an OAM for services to the visual arts.
Returning households include happily married couple Lee and Keith ; Greek best friends Anastasia and Faye ; close-knit but fight-over-the-remote family The Daltons ; cricket mad Delpechitra family ; Indigenous Art dealers Mick and Di ; new parents Matty, Sarah Marie and bub Malik and âuncleâ Jad ; brother and sister foodies Tim and Leanne ; flatmates and best mates Milo and Nic ; modern day Aussie gals Kaday and Chantel and the Sydney clan of five, the Elias family and the Silbery women Kerry and Isabelle , while Emmie will be staying safe in isolation and watching her favourite programs from afar.
Tune in tonight as all the households get ready to become acquainted with the latest our television screens have to offer including The Bachelor, The Block, The Masked Singer and Farmer Wants A Wife , to name a few.
When it comes to The Bachelor, while most of the Goggleboxers are ready to sink their teeth into the new series, others are on the fence.
âSo glad itâs back,â says Isabelle.
Di feels she must talk herself into it: âDonât be negative Di, try to be positive,â she says.
While Kate Dalton sums it up: âThis is bats**t crazyâ. However, still thinks Locky is âNice crumpet, letâs face it.â
The Googleboxers also settle in for another series of The Block, set in the exclusive Melbourne bayside suburb of Brighton. This has all the Melbourne Goggleboxers saying âBriiiightonâ â a suburb that affluent can afford a few more vowels.
Anastasia almost jumps off her recliner when she discovers one of the teams from The Block is Greek, with Faye exclaiming: âWe probably know them!â while Anastasia hopes ââŚthe Greeks donât make a fool of usâ.
Other households are a little more perplexed with the dancing introduction of The Block judges.
âWhat the hell is going on? I know I am going crazy in lockdown, but I feel like am seeing weird s**t,â Isabelle says. âWhatâs happening?â adds Lee. âWhat are they doingâ says Kerry.
Farmer Wants a Wife is yet another dating show watched by the Goggleboxers, with Leanne referring to it as âfarmyard Bachelorâ and Matty adding: âBush MAFS!â
Keith says it best when he surmises: âThey have had floods droughts, fires and now they want to get married- wouldnât you think they have had enough trouble?â
Gogglebox Australia is an Endemol Shine Australia production for Foxtel and Network 10.

Really looking forward to this. During this lockdown Iâve been watching some epis from other versions on Foxtel catch up (UK, UK Celebrity) and also the US Celeb version. This show is very relatable during a lockdown as watching TV does consume a lot of the day so having the Aussie version back is even better.

Great to have it back this week. Mixed bag which was good to see. A lot of laughs especially during The Bachelor, Farmer and the last segment. Hopefully next week weâll see more different programs reviewed.

From a timing perspective, it was impressive that the producers of Gogglebox managed to get a review of Tuesday nightâs Sophie Delezio episode of Anhâs Brush With Fame into this weekâs return episode!
Actually wouldâve had that as my obscure Gogglebox review prediction for 2020 (Gotta have at least one a year! 
), but wasnât sure if the timing wouldâve allowed for it to be included in the season return.

Second season featuring the new recruits and they still offer very little. The family with the obnoxious kids are a waste of a couch.
Hopefully Gogglebox mixes things up a bit this season and feature less reality tv. However, after having Masked Singer, Ninja Warrior, The Bachelor, The Block, Farmer Wants Wife, all in one episode, Iâm not holding my breath.
