Big Brother Ireland

sarz55

They should have a big brother for irish people. with a house in ireland with irish contestants.

Don't you think?

It would certainly be interesting, but I'd say if it was financially viable they'd have done it already.

Too expensive to produce. C4 rely on the sponsorship and voting revenues to fund BB - you wouldn't get near as much money in Ireland for those, so no Irish broadcaster would really be bothered.

A house full of useless irish people waffling on about tripe simply to inflate their own ego's and to look good for the public?

I thought we had one of those already?

Dail Eireann? No

Everyone would know each other! Ireland is too small to sustain something like this... Would be funny though!

Chillwithcian

the nearest we got to it was celebrity farm,or that programme about 'celebrities' who sailed around in a ship (didnt it crash on an island?). RTE wouldnt have the finances or the sponsorship to carry it out so it would never happen here. Plus, where would they find room to build a purpose built big brother house?

Ha haa!! To true!!

As regards an Irish Big Bro house, I'm quite happy for all the useless Irish to continue flaffing about in the British house!!! Gets them out of our pubs for a few weeks!

Exactly. No matter who you speak to in this country theres always at least one person you will both know!

or remember that program set up around running a radio station celebraty 252 I think, that pig Amanda brunker and some other woman bullied that nice girl Emma O'Driscoll off the Den and from Six, they kept slagging her off behind her back, and think they made out she had a boob job, I was reminded of the bullying when I saw Jade doing it on the recent big bro, how that Brunker is a celeb is beyond me

well my friend was apparently involved in one it was just to be broadcast on the internet and it only last a few weeks i think, it happened a couple of years after the first one. obviously it didnt take off

not only would people know each other but if you put 12 irish people in a house 3 or 4 of them are bound to be related!!!!and no irish person can keep a seceret we'd know who was in it before it started!!!

There's one way you could guarantee votes & money and that would be to have 26 housemates, one from each county.

OK you think Dublin would win? But not necessarily because a lot of Dub people wouldn't be arsed voting for a Dub, especially if they were some gobsh*te....whereas smaller counties would vote multiple times...they love all that kind of thing.

I think that would be brilliant to watch....imagine the arguments and drunkeness!

You must be kidding! The Dubs are hated by everyone!!! We wouldn't have a hope!!:D

The Al Lad

you'd need subtitles for some of the culchies and have some skanger in there robbing people's stuff

yurmothrintites

They should have a d4 bimbo head in with a couple of skangers and culchies! Now that would be hilarious!:D

The Al Lad

Housemates for Irish BB......

Spirral

A Junkie

A Girl from Foxrock loike

A big huge fat bird from G-G-Galway called mary

They already have that on RTE. It's called "You're A Star"

TheBeach

Would love to see an Irish Big Bro. Don't think it'll ever happen though.

lostexpectation

they said nikki parents were irish but presumeably she was brought up in england... I wonder is she this year Irish contestant? they usually always have one.

BaZmO*

IIRC they said that one of her parents was Irish and that she was adopted from an Indian orphanage and grew up in England.

magnumlady

It would be fantastic to have an Irish BB, lets hope rte are reading this.

Eh.. You've forgotten about Seánie already?

snappieT

NO - They can't have an Irish Big Brother. Any international show that Ireland adopts and tries to produce ends up an absolute shambles, and the original program is never enjoyed by those that suffered through the Irish adaptation.

Never forget Gay Byrne doing Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. I actually hate Chris Tarrant now. I don't know why. Gay ruined him for me.

Gillie

I always thought that Kevin Myers would have been a better host

And lets not forget Eamon Dunphy and the Weakest Link!
