And we were expecting what exactly?

Well when you compare it with the other crap that is shown on tv presently - colin and jim jim... i'm a celeb blah blah... It's actually quite good.

youcancallmeal

I'm surprised RTE allowed so much bad language, nudity, binge drinking etc
Expect to hear calls into Joe Duffy tomorrow with people saying this is disgraceful stuff :rolleyes:
Besides that I think its mildly entertaining, pretty much the same kind of stuff I got up to on a J1

I worked in Rock Island (the 50's diner with the dancing) when I was in Hawaii in 2007. Feckin gas seeing it on the telly! I'm pretty glad I didnt have RTE filming me doing that dance.

I only watched it because I saw Rock Island on the ad. But it actually wasnt as bad as I expected!

Plus they told a Diana joke and a story about some woman who died after having sex with a horse (while they were chatting up some girls :rolleyes:).

The binge drinking and that is hardly bad - as long as they don't glorify it or show them drink driving then RTE won't have a problem with it I wouldn't think.

I know at least 3 people who have done that on J1 summers or down in Australia.

Our man in Havana

When are they going to show them living in squalor and wrecking apartments and then sloping off home as if nothing happened?

That guy with the heel is ever so gay. The guy who got the job in the comic book store seemed the coolest. Either way, I probably won't be tuning in again.

Faint praise indeed. "A mildly painful bowel infection is better than a very painful bowel infection".

I Didn't like it, but to be fair, the programme wasn't aimed at me. I have a job, and good taste.

I'm not sure. That comic store owner looked like he was eying him up, and he liked it.

Wasn't he the one who said "we're not going to wreck the place, we're not Liverpool fans like".:rolleyes:

Pigman II

Todays episode of Seasame Street was brought to you by the letter J and the number 1 and featured a whole load of muppets.

vincenzolorenzo

Pure sh*te is what it was. That guy who jumped off the balcony was just a spoilt little rich kid throwing a temper tantrum. Hate f***ers like him. :mad: The lads in San Diego are all really immature. I did a J1 a few years ago and we were all 19/20 but we didn't go around acting like retards. They just give students/J1ers a bad name.

The other gang in hawaii seem much more normal. They should be fairly entertaining

Edlemming

I thought it was pretty good to be honest, I know I was worse on mine.

The guys next week seem interesting.

phenomenon

I thought it was a great show! The Dublin lads are the exact kind of people I like to hang out with. They know how to have a laugh!

Now the other group look like a bunch of boring bastards. The type that spend their whole J1 concentrating on work. "Lets get pissed tonight and ride dirty prostitutes!" - "I can't I've got work tommorrow." Eh kinda missing the pont of going abroad for the summer.
I even doubht they're from Dundalk...some of the group had strong Northern Irish accents.

I'll be tuning in next week to see what the Galway gang are like

Edlemming

I heard the D4 heads on spin fm yesterday and one dude said he worked all year to pay for the trip.

Its supposed to be a ****in' holiday, no? Give them a break.

coillcam

I was thinking a few years ago while I was in college that this would have been a fantastic idea for Irish reality TV.

I'm annoyed I missed the first episode myself but I was thinking though that there would be a certain level of acting up to the camera and some staged scenes but then again isn't that what reality TV is all about......

Night give it a bash next week.

ok i agree and dont agree.

the other group were boring in ways but working adds to the crack i would think.

SoupyNorman

Not a good show, it could be good with the right people.


I have to laugh due to the fact that there is about 2000 Irish that go to San Diego every summer and they choose to follow four unlikeable 'Tute' lads that are living out in the sticks of San Diego. I was out in SD in 2006 for the summer and there is only two places to you should live...In Mission/Pacific beach or In the city. It's completely apparent that these fellows did not do any preplanning whatsoever and now live, 2 and a half hours from the beach or close to it. Which also begs the question of what we will see them do for the rest of the series.


Week 1 - Oh, drink in the house...have a bitch fight

Week 2 - drink in the house...have a bitch fight

Week 3 - drink in the house...have a bitch fight, cause damage to the house, ring Mummy and Daddy to send money to fix the mess.

Our man in Havana

Not quite.

Week 3 - drink in the house...have a bitch fight, cause damage to the house, ring Mummy and Daddy to send money to fix the mess.

Should be:
Week 3 - drink in the house...have a bitch fight, cause damage to the house, leg it back to Ireland before the cops catch you.
