RTÉ did commission a show like this a few years ago.

This was badly produced and badly executed. Nothing to do with the contestants.

Sean had a career, which TV3 had previously disregarded if I remember correctly.

And the Den also does a similar show for kids.

feel sorry for ruth in a way

not because she didn't win - but because I dn't think she will ever get a job presenting with a voice like that - except for mayb a show or radio station for the d4 target market (you don't need to be from d4 to have the accent or persona)

Well I feel thoroughly sorry for Ruth in the sense that coming so close to winning something you really want and then being defeated is absolutely gut wrenching, heartbreaking and so forth.

I do think though, that when the dust settles, and a measure of perspective is attainable, Ruth will be able to console herself with the thought that there is a market for her image and manner (unfathomable as this is to the majority of people). Total Exposure is just a stepping stone, and I'd be surprised if she didn't view it as such.

She may also reflect on how fortunate she was to survive for so long in the competition, especially when far more talented contestants were eliminated early on (Daniella et al.).

Congratulations to Sean, he was the best contestant throughout the contest.

The exposure Ruth received, will boost her modeling career to another level.

Yup.

A guy who got into the final 20 of Total Xposure, Stephen, is pretty internet famous. He has a lot of youtube videos etc.
Stephen Fry follows him on Twitter.
Yer man put up a message on his Twitter page, asking people to vote for Simon and Stephen Fry picked up on it.

Don't be silly. The northern Ireland chap was the best by a mile but used the wrong tactics when it counted and was canned. He should have won based on capability and on screen delivery.

Speaking as guy that watches Expose...I think we like specifically for female presenters!!

Focken shure I do albeit vaguely. Back in the Late to Mid Nineties. DIdn't she do a pop-segment?
Kinda but not similar to Sarah Morrisseys' one with Liam WhatsHisFace on TTV on a Thursday?
Emma's qare softly spoken so she is. Be difficult to take seriously if she was consulting for you (although the serious wedge of wonga charged might focus the mind!). Had to turn up the volume to hear her.
