Did anyone watch this last week? I cant find a thread on it.If one already started sorry.

In a new series brought to you by Sideline Productions - The Model Scouts - follows the journey of 12 young Irish girls who compete to win a contract with IMG, one of the most prestigious modelling agencies in the world. IMG Scouts Jeni Rose and David Cunningham travel the length and breadth of Ireland, holding open castings as they look for the face of Ireland's next model sensation.

They had 30 girls and could have picked so many more they said.
Now down to 12.
So far i think Jessica and Ellen.

I agree

The girls did amazing tonight,they looked stunning:) Walking on the catwalk they did really well

Jessica is really standing out for me right now.London next week.

Tracy Lee · 13-11-2010 12:24pm

watched the first 2 episodes. its great. has a real feel to it compared to all the other model shows. the first week was ok but the last episode in carton house was great. and the runway show looked really good. like jessica, tabea, ellen and aishling. cant wait for next week in london

tinkerbell · 14-11-2010 7:40pm

I've watched the first two episodes and it's just meh. It's no ANTM that's for sure.

What REALLY annoys me about that programme and last year's search for a model programme on RTE is that guy who does the voiceover. He has the most annoying voice in the universe, I hate his voice. How can RTE pick such an irritating voice for a tv programme, aaaargh :mad:

Tracy Lee · 14-11-2010 7:58pm

I read an interview before the series started with the IMG scouts and they were at pains to say that the reason they were involved in this show was because it was not ANTM. and that they had no interest in making ANTM. But that they were trying to show the process from scouting a girl to when she would work as a model in the industry.

so from that perspective they seem to be on track. and its way better already than the last series. was it called model agent last year??

I'm tired of the whole NTM franchise anyway.

Tracy Lee · 14-11-2010 8:03pm

just checked the credits and that annoying vo guy you mention is actually Hugh O Connor. I assume its the actor Hugh O Connor. Does sound like him. great actor

I did not watch that one,I do know this one i am enjoying, it is better than Americas next top model etc... IMO

Caitriona Balfe looked stunning aswell.Only Irish model to be world known right now.

tomissex · 15-11-2010 6:23pm

I really liked the Model Agent but I think I'm liking the Model Scouts more! I do love ANTM but it's getting so gimicky, this is a nice change I find!

This is last year's winner, Carrie Anne Burton, for anyone who didn't watch it. Loved her from the start, haven't found a girl I love this year yet! I think Tabea is a favourite for me at the moment anyway.

Tracy Lee · 15-11-2010 7:20pm

just been on their facebook page and apparently rte are not showing it tomorrow night cos of the rugby:mad:. its not on til tuesday week.

I like Tabea too but I think Jessica and Aishling could go far

Wow she is beautiful girl,She has amazing bone structure and eyes

Jessica is my favourite so far.
The more it progresses and we see their poses etc.. done up etc.. We will be able to get better idea.

I dont believe it :mad: I was really looking forward to that.They could have put it on earlier or after it.Not like they have the best line up on tv:mad:

Tracy Lee · 24-11-2010 11:00pm

really enjoyed last nights show. not as good as the last episode but some of the girls are really going for it now. still think jessica and tabea are favourites. cant wait for paris next week

liverpool100 · 28-11-2010 9:14pm

Aishling O'Connell- hope she their near the end

she sounds like great fun as well

Tracy Lee · 01-12-2010 12:31am

I think she will be. she was gorgeous tonight in the cafe shoot. starting to change my idea of whos gonna win. this is a smashing show. Paris was brilliant. and the girls looked amazing. couldnt see lauren going. thought she was one of the stronger ones in the shoot. roll on sydney. cant wait

mtnh · 01-12-2010 8:55pm

I'm very impressed with this show. Miles better than ATNM or the British version. Just seems a lot more realistic.

tomissex · 01-12-2010 11:43pm

Lauren works in Penneys in Swords so I'd already guessed she didn't win but she told me on Saturday that she didn't get to Sydney...i was so annoyed!

Tracy Lee · 02-12-2010 4:19am

Lauren looks great and was amazing in the shoot in paris. was really disappointed she didnt get through. love this show. cant believe its not getting more publicity and feedback. great to see a show that feels realistic after all the obvious set up scenarios on the likes of apprentice and ANTM. well done rte on this one.

I just have to say that I worked with hugh o'conor (the guy who does the vioice over) when I was doing my work experience this year (I'm in transition year) and he was the nicest person you can ever meet. I was so lucky to have ended up working with him.

TaraFoxglove · 03-12-2010 5:55pm

Jessica is EASILY my favourite. Such a great look.

Lucy and Tabea are good too.

She does look great and shes very funny. definitely the best personality I think

"I don't think I'm the prettiest girl in the world, but I don't think I'm ugly".

I think she has just the right amount of cockiness, and would have the thick skin required for the industry.

When I hear that idiots voice it makes me want to break the tv :mad:

Tracy Lee · 04-12-2010 11:56am

wow and do you label him an idiot cos you know Hugh O Connor or simply based on the sound of his voice?

Johner · 04-12-2010 1:29pm

Started watching this with the girlfriend, it's quite good.

I hope Aisling wins.

I like Aisling's confidence. Gorgeous eyes too.

Tracy Lee · 06-12-2010 12:14pm

I think Aisling is great but I just cant see her winning. She has a very pretty face and a good attitude but I think Ellen and Tabea are more striking

Yeah, I think Tabea, Jessica and Lucy are far more striking. Sadly for Aisling, she just looks too Irish! :pac:

I haven't a clue who he is, maybe I should have said his idiotic voice

might have been a better way to phrase it alright. guess we all have an opinion. mine is that I like Hugh O Connor and I like his vo

Tracy Lee · 07-12-2010 4:27pm

the model scouts have the photos from the photo shoot in sydney up on their facebook page. Ellen and Tabea are stand out. I already know the budget is gonna be horrible so I'll watch the model scouts instead for an hour

kateof · 08-12-2010 12:36am

I'm loving the model scouts, I think Tabea is a natural, but a part of me finds the show a tad bland!
There's no bitchiness, like on NTM? A bit of 'evil' makes great tv, maybe next year they could find a bitcy mag editor or someone to bring a bit of OMG to the show. Just my opinion, Dont get me wrong tho, I like that the scouts treat the girls with respect and kindness, I just crave someone to bitch about!!!!
