	Open in browser The end of an era for New Zealand reality TV? The Spinoff Daily, Wednesday October 12 Oct 12   ▷  Listen Save   Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily in partnership with Ārepa. Today on The Spinoff, Toby Manhire shakes out the local election results to determine just how big the “change” vote really was, Stewart Sowman-Lund reviews Time Out’s review of the 43rd coolest neighbourhood in the world and Rec Room’s Catherine McGregor declares a German Netflix series your next costume drama binge watch. But first, Duncan Greive on the three cursed shows that tell a story of New Zealand reality TV’s decline. “It has been a torrid few weeks for reality TV in New Zealand. Three shows, each of which was announced to huge fanfare by their respective networks, all fell apart in different ways. Yet while each failing was different, and some far more morally consequential than others, the issues faced by The Block, FBOY Island and Rich Listers have threads in common. Collectively they suggest that this era of reality television, which has been so vital to linear television over the last seven years, might be drawing to a close.” Read more Live Updates: Kamahl Santamaria apologises, hints at further allegations to come Just how big was the ‘change’ vote, and how many mayors hate Three Waters?

These are not cast-offs waiting for an inorganic rubbish collection, but objects deliberately placed there by locals as a way of sharing resources with their community. They are Little Libraries and Pātaka Kai (food pantries), and it feels like they’re popping up all over the place.” Read more Review: Beyond Conversion is a necessary insight into our shameful past Review: The Empress is your next costume drama binge watch The shiny metal box that changed the way I cook Sharing is caring!
