Wanted Down Under 2014

[MrsReiver]

I know all you addicts are out there! I am not the only one.

Seriously - they thought a 19yo would be on a family visa???

Duuurrrr!!!

Wendy, you are selfish.

I knew he wouldn't get a visa - are they barred from doing any research before going on the show?

I cannot imagine putting so.much pressure on my child. So if he's to be included on the visa, he has to give up his job and become a student?

Well he won't be able to contribute to the mum's family's perfect house in that case will he?

It's hilarious that she doesn't seem to understand money can also buy a house with large wardrobes and a pool in the UK!

Can I start moaning about the TV Licence I pay?

Please let it be worth £80,000 or something.

Who chooses where they go? Perth is obviously a lot more expensive than other cities, so is it about job prospects?

She's one of these annoying people who will have her dream no matter what the cost and regardless of what anyone else wants and whether they can afford it.

£24 a month better off! Woop didoo

How can they decide to move half way across the world based on one week in one city. Australia is huge! At least see some more of it.

I have a feeling they will go, and then a year in she will decide that she doesn't like it... Not many tears on the family dvd.

Aww, that lad's girlfriend is lovely. No way is he going to leave her to go off with his mental mum.

Yay Sonny isn't going.

Have they valued their house yet and I've missed it?

Did laugh at the raised eyebrow from her when he said he can't live at home forever!

Better off by £24/month? They're having a laugh surely.

What are the healthcare costs in Aus, btw?

Aww little brother looks really sad.

Imagine forcing your kids apart too. The youngest one would be like an only child all of a suddenly.

Dont they factor in all those additional costs?

Also £24 a month is only if they pick their dream house - so yeah not much better off but a better house.

Not that I liked the mum today mind.

Omg they've gone and left him!

They went! Without securing jobs. And left Sonny behind.

That poor 12yo being split from his brother. Thats sad.

Anyone got an update?

OMG

"Upon returning to the UK, the Williamsons pushed ahead with plans to emigrate, and sold the family home. In mid January 2014, Wendie, Peter and Reece flew out to Australia to start a new life in Perth. Neither Wendy nor Peter had secured employment in advance of the move, but were confident of gaining jobs once they got there. Standing by his decision to remain in the UK, oldest son Sonny has moved into his own home in Hartlepool. Wendie is still hopeful that he might join them in the future. Look out for a Wanted Down Under Revisited episode featuring the family in February 2015."

Crikey.
