Some men just want to watch the world burn...

Yes and the public should nominate women.
Everybody should nominate Louise O’ Neil and Roisin Ingle so we could see them have a cook/Hoover off.

In these WOKE days it couldn't be called that, house husbands would have to be included too.

Home managers/runners/directors. Who can bake.

We’ve moved on from those days, as a society. But how about Calor Full-time Mammy (who graduated from the School of Hard Knocks) of the year?

See who can go to the local lidl in a dressing gown the quickest.

Who can nuke a ready meal in timely fashion for Jayden and Hayden.

Maybe a bonus questions round on what happened this week on Judge Rinder.

Probably something similar on Channel 4 already though.

Except no clothes allowed.

Contest should include high tech products like RFID to ensure kitchen proximity is adhered to at optimal times. (e.g 7am - 7pm)

A separate “beauty” section could be added to see which housewife can exude the most elegance whilst wearing an 8 foot metal chain connected to the cooking appliances.

I don't mind if you call it housewife of the year, I am definitely the wife in my marriage.

Despite what the media would like us to believe there are still plenty of women who aspire to be housewives and mothers. The only difference now is there's a choice for those who don't want that life.

A modern version of Homemaker of The Year could work in theory with both genders allowed to enter.

I think it would get the militant feminists foaming at the mouth, and despite the veneer of equality, I think any male contestants would get mocked from some quarters.

Competitive cooking and baking programmes are popular, but the idea of other household chores being involved changes the dynamic.

It would take a very brave production company to resurrect this.

Should be brought back, if only to piss off the blue hair/nose ring ensemble brigade.

Pleeeeze bring back “house wife of the year”
The outrage from the Louise o neill types would be the greatest entertainment imaginable.

Dangly bits on show, in close proximity to a hoover nozzle? Sure it would only be a matter of minutes before they would be abusing the appliance in an ungodly manner :eek:

(It would make for a good spin-off, 999 Emergency/Embarassing Bodies kinda thing though)

It's precisely for the nozzle work I'd tune in. How well do they get that nozzle into the nooks, crannies and tight corners? Do they get right in there and give it it a good going over? Compelling viewing.

Had a discussion about this in work once and the younger employees couldn't believe it was a thing.

The prize was a new cooker.

Suppose it depends how you market it. You have shows like Bake Off and Sewing Bee showcasing traditional skills but in a non patronising way. They do well.

looksee

Going back maybe 40 years I personally knew a 'housewife of the year'. Nice person, friend of mine though we lost touch, could talk the talk...but housewife she was not. God knows what the criteria were but taking a quick look at their house obviously was not part of them.

Divorcees or "loose women" need not apply.

"Reaching out" to the diaspora and crowbarring in something something empowering women.
