    Anyone else watching and think its finally one show where the Irish version is actually better than the English one?? Also quite a good representation of LGBT couples and friends! Considering there isnt even 10 different groups, there are at least 2 (possibly even 4) LGBT ones which is really great to see. Its a nice mix of modern Ireland.

    *Also I have serious man crush on that David fella and am surely im not the only one. He seems lovely too and fun :)

    I find this show to be desperate ****e
    Contrived, forced, pathetic,

    'Ordinary' people forced to become television show presenters

    They do seem to have a high number of lgbt folks
    They're ​always funny the gays aren't they!

    Each to their own i suppose

    Watching people watching TV - have we really reached this point?

    Well it's very popular in uk. And have to say the cavan twins and women with cat and dog and woman in limerick with two sons are imo extremely entertaining.

    I have no point of reference for anything you just said. It was described to me as I previously stated and it seems it's an accurate description.

    But if you enjoy, then fair play.

    The whole concept reminds me of people who watch people play video games online though.

    Who are they LGBT people apart from the two lads from Portobello and Dale and Dawn?

    I find the gays on GBI to be know-it-all types and overly opinionated to the point it looks like an act.

    No. I don't agree OP.

    The uk one is way way way better.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I love the Irish one ! Much better I think. I've even converted a few UK friends.
