    Was pish and I won't be watching it again but then I'm not the target audience being male and over 35. But I don't understand some of the feedback here are we saying this is scripted and therefore the girls are acting and not really like this (therefor the personal stuff is unwarranted) or is this the real deal (wire in folks)? It can't be both can it?

    Well it does not have a full script like a soap or film. What it probably does is arrange the schedule of the girls, suggest conversations, edit footage to get the most interesting stuff, allow product placement (mcd and that magazine) and create "internships" which are actually just created for the girls for the tv show. All scenes are manipulated in some way, plus as some poster said earlier, the "script" is copying the format the Hills follows

    Is it reality? No
    Do they read from lines? No
    Is it manufactured like any other fictional story? Yes

    Hate to be that girl from Wexford's boyfriend. Watching a stereotypical dickhead getting stuck into your bird and even worse, her going for it!

    So the personals are unwarranted then yeah?? I'd like to think people weren't like this in real life, no one I knew when in my 20's was but maybe I'm fom a different demographic. I mean if this is the future we're rightly ****ed.

    Na, they put themselves in the public sphere so they are open to personal comments against them in my view.

    I don't think they are representative of many of us in our 20s, RTE just wishes we were I guess.

    The tattooed d*cks band were playing something like the black eyed peas. This programme makes me want to leave Dublin. Maybe its a government ploy to make us emigrate. When we realise the city is full of these people we will have to leave. I never want to go out in Dublin again. Unless I'm carrying a pocket full of rocks.......

    I thought it was entertaining, i was laughing and saying things like "why the **** would the CEO of MCD agree to meet an intern at a location!?" rather than usually either him taking no interest or her grovelling at his desk, but the outrageous factor of it was what was funny, people need to seriously lighten the **** up

    Agree with the op in that all the blokes in that show are absolute dick heads. All the girls on the other hand are little wetsers.

    It was reality alright. Half an hour of 20 something Irish people including time in the pub and not ONE four letter word (even bleeped out!). Toss.

    I somehow managed to get through the whole episode..there were some very unintentionally funny bits.

    When the two bints meet up for the first time before going to check out the apartment, the D4 bint said 'OMG I was soo worried you are soo pretty, I thought you were going to be,, ahem , have loadsa tattoos and stuff'..

    The face on the D4 bint when the Wexford wan won the coin toss was also priceless.


    Your man from MCD Damo O'Donoghue was Brian O'Driscoll best man at his wedding, I wonder will Drico stick his oar in later in the series?

    Yer wan Vogue is doing a line with that fella Maser who does all the graffiti around town,Irelands answer to Banksy..

    I think RTE did a good job......

    of picking the biggest pack of spastics in Dublin.

    That youngfella with the greasy quiff and Shane Mc Gowan teeth...how embarassing if that is his real personality.

    Harsh words - I take it you've never lost anyone close to you...they're still someone's loved ones!

    If it bothered you that much, turn over, but don't wish anything like that on anybody!

    fyi that band are probably one of the busiest gigging bands in Ireland at the moment...

    The show is still tripe though

    Have to say I watched it last night and thought it was one of the most fantastic things I have ever witnessed, - Although possibly for all the wrong reasons, 30 minutes of comedy gold which included such lines as:

    ‘Are you nervous?’

    ‘I don’t know… I think so?’

    And when asked a question as to what she likes about the magazine she answered ‘Well the magazine is aimed at 18 to 34 year olds which is what I’m really interested in as that’s where I am in life now!’ – Utter genius!

    The award for the winning character though and someone I can only prey to any god that will listen makes a return to next weeks show is the friend of the donkey singer at the end, Kevin! That dude is class with his top button done up and a goofy look of happiness on his face like he has just discovered masturbation for the very first time. We need more Kevin in there!

    PS...I've boned all 4 of the women :)
