    An extremely poor pastiche of a beauty contest or OK to watch in an ironic sort of way?

    So Backward it's embarrassing IMO.Can't think of one redeeming feature.
    Starts Tomorrow night anyway.

    According to Paddypower, the Mary Rose is the favourite to win.

    It's like someone came up with the idea of a beauty contest years ago and modified it to comply with what the parish priest would allow.

    Also like the Eurovision, it needs a bearded lady.

    Massive economic boost to a struggling part of the country.

    Harmless, good, clean fun.

    Uniquely Irish.

    Gets the diaspora involved.

    Sure, it's irredeemably uncool but...

    ... I think it's bloody marvellous!

    A mate of mine's one of the Roses, so I've been seeing constant updates on Facebook. It looks weird as fúck.

    I'll watch it though, haven't seen it before. If there's no sandwich measuring or judging the nicest laugh, I'll be disappointed.

    Hot would probably be too 'edgy'

    The only thing I didn't like the few times I have sat down to watch it was the seeming snobbery of the thing.

    It was always like: "This is Saorise, she has a degree in theoretical physics from Harvard and owns her own company, her Dad owns Michigan and her Mam is an astronaut".

    Never: "This is Michelle, she works in Spar".

    Who needs satire when the real thing delivers gems like this?

    It takes an incredible amount of money to enter it and this goes to the local regional adjudicators only.

    A girl I know entered it in the 00's and there was only 8 people in the whole state of New York that they ended up with, let me stress they didn't narrow it down from a larger number, only 8 people entered it.

    Robbing the diasparo.

    Yeah, why bother to promote Ireland as a modern country when we can perpetuate the stereotypical gobsh*tery/fcukwitery that the lovely girls competition embodies:confused::mad:

    I'm confused!?!

    Is a normal beauty contest ok to watch, or is irony bad?
