Who won't last the 21 days I wonder.. Bit early to say but I reckon the girl with the pink top, she's well hard, no sign of a jacket! Niamh I think she's called.

Basq

"Don't need a jack-hit! Me ballacks etc."

6 ****ing toerags, and those two Dubs are the exact reason why I cannot stomach skangers.... Dirt! And, I am a Dub!

amdublin

I reckon these girls will last longer than the fellas last year.

The boys were all crying for their mobiles back at this stage.

These girls really enjoy their watersports don't they.

the girls were there ten minutes before they started talking behind each other backs.. Like a microcosm of every workplace where I have ever worked where there were women.. :-)

Was a bit creepy of DC to tell the parents that he "was taking their girls"........


But it is a good programme - I'll tune in next week.

Michael B

Good show. Didn't catch the start, what are they all there for? Ah teenagers, gotta hate them.

I think that's what he told the parents last year except he "was taking their boys"

I think the fella living in the house with them is creepy.

Ah he seems nice

amdublin

Sorry! Just to clarify. Not him specifically. Just that it is creepy that there is a fella in the house with them.

calex71

Ah forgot about this, will it be on the rte player?

Hrududu

They all met in Athlone to head off to Donegal. Including the girl from Donegal. God but some of them are awful b!tches.

podgemonster

found it really interesting the whole scapegoat thing yer man was talking bout. How the girls pick on one girl and blame everything towards that one scapegoat and vent there anger towards that one person.

One of the dub girls at one stage said, 'im grand here coz no-ones in my face like' then 10 mins later, 'if Aisling says anything to me im gotta get right in her face, there'l be murder' (may not be quoted correctly).

I see this happening in groups of girls from primary school all the way to college and into the workplace and can be devasting for the person being excluded.

Pretty_Pistol

I think this show will become more interesting as the weeks go by. I forgot how bitchy some girls can be.

I know they all have their problems but Aisling seems like the most normal/non scanger looking one out of all of them. And that's probably why they started excluding her because she is different to them.

The tall, black darked haired Dublin girl with the mullet seems like a typical bully type.

I dont think she does herself any favours. She seems to go out of her way to indirectly insult the other girls. I think she is from more of a middle class background and is not as tough as the other girls. I can see her heading home in the next week's episode.

Richard Noggin

For a reality tv show like it, I think its very good. Usually these sort of shows are crap but not this one.I'll definitely be watching it next week.

I thought she seemed a bit strange. A bit of a loner or outsider - like she couldn't relate socially to people.

LadyMayBelle

Watched it just now on real player and really enjoying it..links up with some college work I have been doing so great to see theory linked to practice..

Felt so sorry for Aine (Enya?). She looks so, so sad and lonely. Next week looks good when they kick her out of the room. I think she is the one I will be most interested in following.

Niamh from Dublin just seems so into herself its painful, also keen to see how it pans out for her..

calex71

I know, i know, social situation , circumstances etc etc but if they were mine I'd have been locked up for battering them, especially the dub's :mad:

Surly a skanger has to know they are a skanger and want not to be one and want a better life for themselves? I know I was a fcukwit at that age but my god kids these days :eek:

Program does raise some interesting issues that would not have been issues "in my day" and I'm not an auld fella' . Thing that annoyed me about it was that as much as it tried to show these girls for what they were (brats / insert stronger word here) it remained sickeningly pc and molly-coddle-ish-ness and boo hoo i need a counsellor :mad:

There was a certain amount of acting up for the camera too I think

Is easy to label them as "brats" and not look at the bigger picture of why they react the way they do, and indeed what responsibility their parents might hold for that. Would you prefer they got the sh1te kicked out of them rather than someone actually taking an interest in them and having a curiosity about what's going on for them? Treating someone with respect (although not liking their behaviour) doesn't have to equate to mollycoddling. Perhaps a counsellor is exactly what they need rather than being labelled as scangers and treated like criminals. Lets face it, as you say most of us were fckwits at that age.

In fairness having watched some of the other "out of control teen" programmes such as Brat Camp, I think this one is quite respectful of everyone involved and not just trying to sensationalise their behaviour for a bit of good telly for the rest of us.

great show!! i love it already!
i especially liked the first episode where the girl shows us the big hole in her door and says she did a hatchet job on it...just because she felt like it......:eek:
as you do!!!

Little Acorn

Anybody still watching this? Finding it quite good. That girl Ashling has really grown on me after trying to make Lisa cheer up and feel welcome, even though Lisa wasn't that nice to her the first few days. Lisa is extremely aggressive, but I feel sorry for the reasons behind it. Felt really sorry for Aine last episode, but I can see what Lisa meant when she said that she didn't say things to people's faces and was hiding behind the other two girls-she must feel like she as "stolen" her friends. I think that girl from Limerick-(Amy I think?) is a really nice girl, she seems very sensitive and hates to see other people upset- she started crying herself when she was trying to sort things out with Aine last week, and when she got her card from home tonight.
Interesting show so far.

****ing skangers!

**** me, I'm a dub, but istening to that one (Niamh) speak makes me cringe....

Tim Robbins

This is the strangest program I have ever seen on RTE. The dichotomy between the nackers and the middle class well versed well educated psycho babbler David Coleman is friggin weird. As is the contrast between really slick editing, amazing scenary and some nackers playing cheap techno from a trashy radio, wearing their silky tracksuits, cursing relentlessly.

It's surreal. I don't think I have laughed as much at something that wasn't meant to be funny since Fair City.

podgemonster

Jus couldn't believe how whiney they were this week. Didn wana go canoing, didn wana go climbing, they even got to sleep out under the stars (in what I assume is a summers night since they are off school) and yet they relentlessly complain, too cold, legs are dirty, one of em called it a disgrace.

All i heard last night was
'im na f*ckin doin it, no way like'
And then when some of em do do something its like 'that was amazing, cant believe i did that'

The thought of canoeing and camping out on a island sounds absolutely brilliant to me! Their main concern they would be cold and they couldn't bring make-up!

God bless the patience of the instructors!

Hesh's Umpire

Programme badly needs subtitles. Some of those kids are unintelligible.

Here's a good idea.. Put up the request when the series is over. ;-)
Seriously though, why dont you look up the RTE Player and see is it on the credits. One of the lads here will probably know it though.

irishh_bob

bar the lead skanger ( where did she get the accent from , her mum spoke perfectly normal ) who was more dumb than anything else , i thought all the girls were pretty nice people , i especially liked the tall girl from limerick , bright thoughtfull lass

Closed ac

Going to miss this show, really liked it. I think all the girls turned out to be nice people by the end and made some true friendships, which was nice to see. I was especially fond of Amy, what a lovely girl!

cambridge7

Yeah I'm going to miss this too. I thought this program was great viewing.
I wish the girls the very best for the future. I fear for Lisa though (the girl that was beaten up by eight girls) I think she still has a few issues.
Hope the program makers do a follow up say in a years time just to see how they are getting on.

Little Acorn

Amy was definitely my favourite too. She seems miles more mature than the rest but I think she is only 16. Her story broke my heart,all that guilt she was carrying over her father's death at such a young age. She really rallied all the girls together and cemented them as a team, and the notes she wrote everybody was such a lovely idea. Hope she does well in the rest of her life, and I really think that she definitely has the ability to do so.

Yes i actually felt quiet sorry for Lisa, i think she is a good person deep down but has some issues but who doesnt.

Shane10

brilliant show have to say, fair play to all the girls for doing it, not easy putting themselves out on national tv. they all seem to be good people really just have various things going on in their lives. i hope they all work things out.

I don't know how some people develop their accents but they did show that there is good in everyone. I think Niamh's mother's life has been transformed.

LadyMayBelle

Really enjoyed the show. Can't understand why people slag off David Coleman, I respect him and like what he does. Initially I felt so sorry for Aine, she seemed so lost and vulnerable. Agree that Lisa needs a lot more support, I imagine she had a good bit after she left the cabin; she still didn't seem ready or accepting of her situation or behaviour. Amazed by the change in Niamh.

Always hard going back to real life for kids in situations like this, but it proved that it can be done, and I do believe there is help and hope for everyone.

buzz55

Did anyone else find it a bit odd t there was no interview/sign of Aine's mum 4 months on from the camp?
All the rest of them had parent(s) interviewed but not her. She nearly broke my heart, such sad eyes & so lonely. I hope things turned out ok for her.

Amy was my favourite aswell, I was very glad to hear that she & Aine have stayed in touch.

Thought Aisling came on well during the program but looks to have slipped back in to her old ways a bit since coming home. Let's just say I doubt she'll be having any of the other 5 girls around for her 18th!

Good program I thought. Anyone know if the one with the boys from last year is available anywhere online to watch?

What about her folks? Got the impression that they were just toeing the line.. There was something about her Mums kiss near the end that made me a little nervous. And the whole comment about having a few beers every night and waiting for her to come home made me feel uneasy too..
