    Does anyone else find some of the presenters useless.... Lorraine Keane is good but underutilised as the 'comperé'. Glenda Gilson is good as well but thank God that Sybil one is gone and she could have brought Aisling O'Loughlin (and her fake accent) with her ....

    Its enjoyable for some light entertainment but they could lose some of the presenters...

    I find the whole show useless....and insulting to peoples' (read: womens') intelligence. I'm no hardcore intellectual feminist but seriously....prime time programming has descended into 'where did Victoria Beckham get her handbag...and how you can get a knock off if you walk down the right street in NYC' and even worse, when the presenters start brutishly slagging off female celebrities. I know you need to earn a crust but I don't know how they sleep at night sometimes.

    I like shoes and handbags as much as (more than if you believe the OH :D) any other girl but it fries my brain.

    Total utter drivel.

    I think the whole show is embarrassing tbh. I mean do women actually like this kind of stuff? Its like one long press release (bit like Ireland AM in that respect). All of the presenters are irritating in the extreme. Lorraine Keane has to be the most arrogant woman on tv.

    yea, like,
    whats that all about?

    It's obviously aimed at women, probably the 15-30 age group. I don't watch it and I can't imagine any other men watching it because it's not what we're interested in.

    But, when most men watch the sunday game or the premiership religiously, women must often think that is crazy.

    Why do most men love sport so much? Why do most women love showbiz/gossip and shoes so much?

    It's horrible cheaply produced programming which is clearly only around to suffice TV3's obligation to produce a certain percentage of Irish made programs. They should cut this and focus on their news department, which bad as it is right now, could have potential.

    Living with 2 boys and a hubby that are sports mad has resulted in me watching a lot of sport which I now enjoy. I now watch and listen to more sport than they do and I've grown to enjoy it ;)

    Sweet Jaysus Xpose has got to be the worst drivel on tv. I can't bear to look at it, it's just so pointless. I'd sooner go through root canal therapy.

    Lorraine Keane just does my head in and some of the outfits she wears are just appalling.

    I was watching it last week and Sybil was in Boston. When she was talking to the camera she had her normal accent, but when she was talking to anyone American she put on this ridiculous American accent. The show is awful but I suppose getting to laugh at her made up for it.

    It is just tabloid tv. Very cheap to make. Just horse together stock footage, add some has been irish z list celebs and hey presto some home produced programming for TV3.

    Theres a difference between having a different taste in television and just being a complete fool. Xpose fans are in the second category.

    Haha, couldn't agree more. She's the typical muck savage who went up to the big smoke and gets put into a job ill befitting of her stock. She's also the ugliest of all the other dolly birds trotted out on presenting duties in this sub standard tabloid driven drivel.
