    I know a girl due to be on it and she said the whole thing is about 75% staged??

    Well (speaking as a girl) I would love to see the show if the situation was reversed! I think fair play to anyone who has the confidence to get up and be judged by 30 members of the opposite sex and get instant feedback (bad, good or indifferent)

    *I do agree some of the girls get too personal with their comments!

    The same girl said that after Christmas the new series has the roles reversed with one girl and 30 men. It's due to be broadcast in February I think. Should be interesting to see what it's like.

    I don't know where the stereotype that Irish women are hard to approach comes from...
    If these women need to go on a dating show to find their man it really says more about them than the men of Ireland.
    I actually know one of the girls who was on it. She's a stand up comedian by trade and is actually a very cool person. Quite a few standups were asked to partake in the show to 'help make it funnier' so don't be too surprised if a lot of the put downs/mad bits are scripted.



    I think that
    girl Lol might be the stand up comedienne cos she's hilarious!
    Very entertaining!

    Watched it last week. I think the women are behaving in said manner because the ball is in their court and they've got nothing to lose and everything to gain by being on the show.

    They have lines of men waiting to come on the show so they're probably holding out for some fella who they really really wanna go on a date with. I'm sure it's difficult to remain modest when placed in such a situation and I imagine if it were the other way round the fellas would act more or less the same.

    However, they are coming across quite poorly and I could only bare to watch about 10 minutes as I couldn't help but feel sorry for the lads being humiliated so badly.

    I believe Charlie Brooker would use the phrase "car crash TV, and proud of it" to describe the show if he was doing a review article:) I know a girl who was on it for at least the first three weeks, and knowing her personality, she would be one of the girls put in to try buzz off the lads and send them packing with a stupid reason (this one in question is not a boardsie, just for the record). That's not saying there might be decent, nice girls in there too...but that's not the smart way to go about finding a man.

    Such a waste of a time slot, but what else do you expect from TV3...?

    In fairness I'd say the men's excuses could be just as ridiculous when the tables are turned. Being completely honest I'd never go for a short girl just due to my height (makes it quite awkward :o) so I can get where the girls are coming from to an extent.

    I’m a girl but I have to say there is a very big difference between the women (and men) on Irish version compared to the English version. People on the English version are a lot more attractive, especially the women. Also, has anyone noticed how some of the women on the Irish version are quite old, theirs one woman on it and she has to be in her 40's. I'm not saying that’s terribly old in every day life but it seem like it’s a show for young 20-somethings.

    She's a looker alright, i think she knocks her light off in the 1st round every time though, snotty as hell i'd say.

    As said it is cringe worthy, a lot of the lads seemed sound and just up for a laugh and then all the girls were just stuck up little cows.

    Fair play to the lads that do it. You'd want a big ole pair of balls to get up in front of everyone only to be rejected.

    Terrible show though. I'd say the producers are keeping a close eye on the cheque book.

    Don't know if anyone seen this lad on the show a few weeks back, looked like a young Chris Kamara

    ck.png

    But a few people buzzed him off straight away and Ray goes over to one of them and she says "i don't like rap music". That was before he said anything, made us lol.

    The excuses are really brutal, the state of some of the girls and the majority of them are up there own hol*s. Saying that some of the lads and girls did seem like nice people, not all of them were bad but it is a very shallow show.

    I find it a good way to kill time...wouldn't go outa my way to watch it!

    But its just soooo cringeworthy when the lad gets buzzed out the first round!

    Also i love when they show the couples a week later, one of them comments "yeah i think things are good might ask her out again" The other : " I dont like him at all!"

    I really cant get over how poor the women are on it? The majority are overweight, caked in fake tan and horrible make up and bet into dresses 2 sizes too small!!

    Above women giving lame excuses then to the blokes, like "I dont like his hair" or some rubbish...I mean look in the mirror...:pac:
