    No I wouldn't appear on this show..........now if it was called 'Dublin househusbands', well that's different. What's the fee?

    The only good thing about shows likes this is that it proves we're just as trashy, shallow and stupid as the Americans, Brits, Aussies etc. Time was we would watch shows like that laugh the farce of it all and think. 'Thank goodness, we're not like that here in formerly holy Catholic but still up ourselves Ireland'.

    Now shows like this and Tallafornia, prove otherwise.

    On the other hand I have a sneaking suspicion that the participants may not take themselve quite as seriously as the publicity blurb would have you believe. This is still Ireland after all and it's still small enough that you can I can run into one or other of these people on a daily basis. And we WILL make a comment or two!

    One the other hand, if you like these kind of programs and get a laugh out of them, fair enough.

    No offence taken and nothing is wrong. Its called relaxing and watching car crash tv in the evening after a hard day at the office!

    Most of this kind of tv isn't relaxing tho cos you end up either watching it from behind the couch cringing at the people in the show or angry at how much of a fooking eejit most of them are :p

    Surely you're being a bit harsh here, most people I know who've seen shows like Jersey Shore or Keeping Up With The Kardashians think they're vacuous rubbish. Just because a few airheads go on shows like Tallafornia and this particular one doesn't mean the entire nation has suddenly became shallow or trashy. Look at the popularity of the 'Tallafornia Swipe' videos on Youtube, they nearly get more views than Tallafornia itself.

    I think shows like these are a result of TV3's complete lack of imagination in programming rather than any serious reflection on the lifestyles of the Irish public.

    its more like making cheap programs to cover the amount of "Irish" content that TV3 have to show to satisfy there broadcasting license deal

    Seriously, you're reading way too much into the fact she likes to watch a certain type of show to relax.

    Was listening to them on the D'arcy show today . The one with the 3 phd's seemed like a right c**t

    You know I hate that word and never like to call other women that but after hearing her speak for a few minutes all I would think of 'what an obnoxious loud self-obsessed ****'. :o
    I thought what a bitch she was to suggest the beautiful, natural Sharon Corr could do with botox. Sharon looks a hell of a lot better than her and she's years older!

    Had to laugh when she said brains are not important to her in a guy. She obviously thinks her 2 degrees and a Master's (not 3 PhD's Leinster, jeez she'd be way older than 31 to have that :D) means she has enough brains for both of them :rolleyes:

    And her opening salvo was "I'm not a gold digger like"
    "like those other bitches I have to share the screen with" you could almost hear her say :D
    And any guy she meets has to be at least 6'4", 6'2" "in a pinch" :rolleyes:
    I pity the guy who gets involved with her!

    Oh and she kept saying how subtle she likes botox to look and shouldn't be obvious yet in her photo she has an obvious frozen look from too much of her own products and a big fish mouth!

    Forgot to answer the question if I'd appear on something like this-hell no!

    I was trying to think what they remind me of-Mob Wives! the same hard bitch face expressions, the same clothes, heavy trannie make-up and surgically enhanced features, tragically tangoed etc.

    No, but it shows we have our fair share of shallow and trashy people too. All too often you hear Irish people sneering at all Americans or Brits based on the people they see on their shallow trashy shows as if they were representative of the whole nation. Well guess what, we're just as bad.

    That the people on Tallafornia are a laughing stock for most. That it doesn't reflect the lives of most people.

    Well I don't know many people that would stereotype an entire nation because of a daft TV show but fair enough.

    At least no-one outside of Ireland will watch this particular one!

    in fact, they will adopt and rename him Loki, which is the opposite of what this show is

    "Dr Botox" won't come out of this in a good light. I suspect there's something very, very wrong with her pathology.

    TV3 is just gash, if its not crappy "reality" shows its shock docs like "The Girl With A Whale For A Head" or something.
    I think they actually had a program on before called 'the man who wants to be a cat.'

    pure scutter.

    The best thing about this programme is reading the comments on the drivel that TV3 has served up...so hilarious. I watched 5 mins of this. I turned over to RTE and watched a programme on how people are suffering by debt and was horrified. Those women should be ashamed of themselves to think that anyone should aspire to this vacant moneygrabbing lifestyle. They are ugly inside as well as outside. The only one vaguely attractive is the one from the Chippy. Whats going on with the blonde one with the man's chin? Katie taylor would love that come the Olympics.

    Lisa Murphy always gives me a good laugh. She spends a fortune of cash on plastic surgery, hair and makeup, always trys to do a sexy look or pose for the cameras but always looks hideous. Can anyone find a picture of here where she looks good?
    This is just scary:

    This she looks like that woman who was addicted to plastic surgery
    http://www.showbiz.ie/photos/2008-03-lisa-murphy.jpg

    This looks like when Apres Match dressed yer man up to do Lorraine Keane:

    Jesus H Christ. She should have sued the surgeon who did that boob job.

    Here's a naked pic of her. Probably nsfw
