    And old TV car crash favourite Barry John...

    He was on Blind Date in the UK a few years ago too and it was a disaster/spectacle depending on how you view it. Kept referring to his dates breasts as whippies to her.

    My favourite time of the year, the English ones just aren't the same.

    The one thing I find with the English one is that they match them a lot better geographically.
    The Irish one always seems to be a bit "Larry from Letterkenny, this is your date Mary. From Macroom."

    There is that but Ireland is so small that if you met someone you really fancied then it shouldn't be a huge deal to try and meet again.

    UK show is better for relationships.

    Irish show is better for entertainment.

    The matching is off though. People are lot more willing to travel around the UK as the transport is way better, even if its further.

    Also, nobody should be ashamed to enjoy this show! :)

    I must admit this is a guilty pleasure of mine.

    I always love seeing some culchies on it.

    I don't see why First Dates should be any kind of a 'guilty' pleasure, if you like it you like it.

    Looking forward to this year's series, let's hope this thread doesn't turn into the sh*tshow it sometimes can.

    As someone said above the Irish show is full of reality stars, bloggers and youtube and/or influencer wannabes. All out looking for exposure.

    Even on the trailer for the new series there are a few recognisable heads.

    I hate when they pair Eastern European women off with lads like him.

    Gives us normal Irish lads a bad name

    Thats the least of his foibles.

    Immature. Cocky.

    If he was made out of chocolate, he would eat himself. After telling about 20 innuendo's first.

    Having heard that the guy at the front desk does not work in the Gibson hotel I guess the rest are actors as are the people in the restaurant

    Oh crap, Sylvester making me cringe already. She doesn't like him at all. What were the matchmakers thinking? They clearly couldn't find any tattooed bikers!

    Maybe they'll get on great.
