I just disagree with people commenting on how the girls look.In fact, some of the girls are just plain rude about a guys appearance. If a lad was like that to them, they'd be in tears!At the end of the day the show is for entertainment......if they were all nice to them would there be anyone talking about the show???
The guys put themselves out there to be judged as well. They don't have enough time to be picked for their personality so a lot is based on how they look and what they are wearing.......most people do the same thing on a night out
So you think it's all well and good for the girls on the show to be horrible about the lads' appearance but no one should comment on how the girls themselves look? Does this not seem ridiculous to you?0 -

Yeah that's exactly what I mean't girls are so shallow and small minded they will do anything for a free Holiday!!!! Great way to twist what I said.
But at the end of the day they are going on Holiday with someone they don't know......the idea is they get to know each other on the Holiday

:)I pity that poor lad that had his choice of only 2 girls. One blonde one that obviously loves crisps and chocolate and the hag with the extremely weathered face making her look over 40 years old. If that was me i would feel ripped off.
It's been outlined here already that some people think that the incentive of a holiday is why the UK version is far far superior...I don't think this so. Quite a lot of natural looking pretty women on the UK one that don't use a trowl to put make up on. Plus lots of friendly banter from them too...They come across as more easy to the eye and they dont make snide remarks about clothes on the fella etc.
I think the Irish limelight hogging girls should only have a 2 show stint then it moves on and gives other girls the chance. Lots of these Irish girls love having their face on telly so are not going to go out on a date unless the fella ticks all of the many many boxes that these girls obviously need ticked.

fighting a losing battle Lollie tbh, that's why i couldn't be bothered with this thread...
EDIT: for the people who are complaining about the girls being up themselves and too picky, take a look at the roasting the girls from tallaghtfornia are getting over in the tallaghtfornia thread, and THAT'S why the girls on take me out ireland wont let their hair down on camera!
as previous posters have said here before- the show in ireland is only done over three days in the helix in dublin, whereas on the english one, its done over a number of weeks, ray foley comes across on camera as far too awkward with the girls, the show is edited heavily to make both the girls, and the guys, look a certain way.
there was a previous contestant who posted on here called leggo who posted an interesting summary on his blog (check the thread a few pages back), and he had nothing but praise for the girls on the show and summed it up by saying that off camera the girls are a great laugh!
i suppose the golden rule of boards.ie could equally apply to take me out-
don't be a dick!0 -

Surely the show can be (is) entertaining without being facetious to other contestants?
Yes, they're out there to be judged to a degree and that's fine. Maybe the girls on the show just don't have the mental capacity/vocabularly to be a bit more diplomatic instead of coming across as badly as they do sometimes. That's all I'm saying.
I know they don't have enough time to get to know their personalities inside out, but they get a decent enough insight to at least make an informed opinion on the person's character...for God's sake, you get a hunch after 30 secons in a pub...
I'm not saying all the girls are bitches and the lads are great, I just think it's hard enough on some of the lads to get up and go on that show without the negative comments.0 -

Actually thats very true... 2 girls where dropped before the second show because they where "quote" not playing the game.At the end of the day the show is for entertainment......if they were all nice to them would there be anyone talking about the show???

Oh lads I'm now terrified to see myself in a few weeks after reading all of these comments. I know us girls went on for lots of different reasons, but come on its a gameshow. I went on because in the last year or 2 my confidence has grown 3 folds. I suffer with psoriasis and have almost cleared it up and thought Id give take me out a go to really put myself out there. I have been crapped on by men, wont go into it, and on the show when I hit my buzzer it was usually because the guy was too young for me. But we were told to try not use that, or height ect... as an excuse to hit your button. So I tried to be funny and slag myself instead. Please be gentle or ill have to emigrate. ><
Dee Good Luck with the show I'm sure you'll be great. It doesn't matter what strangers write about you on the internet once your friends and family are behind you'll be fine. As xsiborg already mentioned you are fighting a losing battle in this thread trying to say the girls are nice!!!!
I personally can't wait to see how the rest of the series goes and how the girls progress as characters at the end of the day as it is a tv show 0 -

My comment was in relation to the above! You put yourself in a position to be judged by anybody who may see the show so your response was OTT!Where you in the show Kmart6? I dont understand your comment
No I wasn't on the show, if you looked at my location that would have answered your question
! Even if I was at home there is no way I would put myself in a position where 30 girls/women could ridicule me without any form of censor or consideration when I believe a lot of them are acting highly above their station!if any of the people on this forum met us girls their opinion would change for the better straight away and they would feel terrible about the horrible comments.
You can't generalise like that! I know 4 girls that are on it this year and the utter tripe they were coming out with about it on FB, along with what seemed to be the majority of the rest of the 'contestants' was atrocious! Then the obligatory 'OMG....so embarrassed to be in the paper and on TV lolz' 'TMO was soooooooooooooo much fun with my girlies xoxoxox...who needs the guys'
For a lot of them, the whole shoe comes across as a cry for attention!0 -

jesus kmart, dont leave us in any doubt anyway! its called LIGHT entertainment for a reason, and as has been pointed out, time and time again- it, is, HEAVILY, edited!
honestly, anybody who actually takes this show seriously has issues bigger than just the girls or the guys on the show and how they come across on tv or interact with each other.
any of the guys that have gone on this show, that have actually MET, and TALKED to the girls, has had nothing but good things to say about them, and fair dues to the girls on this thread from the show that have come on and remained so level headed in the face of such a barrage of abuse by keyboard warriors.
this being the third series of the show, the lads know what to expect, nobody twisted their arm to go on the show, they all appear on it voluntarily!
truth be told if i wasnt married myself and i was single again, you can be damn sure i'd go on the show, not even to get a date, but just to meet the girls and have, a, laugh! 0 -
