Brendan O'Connor - disgraceful flirt

    I happened to be watching You're a Star last night on RTE and nearly threw my dinner up over the television. Isn't Brendan O'Connor's flirting with good looking (?) girls disturbingly wrong?

    He seems to let girls through base on their looks - he said to a girl last night (who was average at best) "You're the best looking girl who's ever walked though those doors like". He started smiling at her and his face looked like a boil-ridden frog. She wasn't a great singer but I think she still got through.

    How is this man still on television? What type of people actually watch this program (last night was the first time I've seen it in a few years) and how has this been allowed to continue? I'm thinking about writing in to RTE to express my concern. I'm genuinely disturbed by his conduct on this program, I lost sleep over it last night.

    Whats more disgusting is that he has a girlfriend who is expecting and also he was leading poor Katy French around on the arm at her birthday last week.

    Are you serious? Losing sleep about a judge's behavior on You're a Star???

    All he did was express his opinion that the girl was very attractive and that she should go through to Boot Camp because of her looks, regardless of the fact that she didn't have a great voice. That's what Brendan always does! It's his shtick! Get over it!

    There's nothing to get over - I didn't lose any sleep over it, but it's not like it's just harmless flirting. There's something else to this - the other judge actually told him he was freaking her out. It's just beyond creepy.

    He had to develop super-strong flirting skillz to counteract his looks and now he can't stop... he is the flirting juggernaut!

    You know what my point was so let's not be foolish. I was joking saying I lost sleep. Hope that clears it all up for you.

    Personally I can't believe RTE are still flogging this dead horse. They must be making a packet from the text-voting, it can be the only explanation. I saw the first 10 minutes of it last night (the sight of the personality-free-zone presenter swanning around in his 6-series coupe with his cool fog lights switched on was enough for me).
    Could someone confirm what I thought I'd heard - that there is NO record-contract prize at the end for the eventual "winner"? Just a cash-prize? If so, this turns what was already a lame duck into a dead one.!

    I'm certainly no fan of the X-Factor, but this amateurish lame imitation is embarrassing.
