She didn't seem to have boiled potatoes anywhere on her scale.

Fair play to the Limerick lad bringing up the political bias in tv shows, unfortunately he is in one.

Pity about the constant trump bashing once again. Seems to be a virgin media thing on all their programmes for some reason.

Shame that was the last episode, this series was slow to take off but finished very strongly.

How long is the wait between series, we were waiting well over 12 months for this one weren't we?

Hopefully not as long. Really enjoyed tonight’s episode again. I think I read somewhere they were trying to do a Christmas special with Irish living abroad

Welcome to reality. He's a worldwide joke, don't be precious thinking he's being singled out by Irish, or any, media.

Sparko · 29-10-2020 12:43pm

Very entertaining this week, even with the missing people due to covid restrictions. Really wish it was a longer run!

It's a Trump thing, not a VM thing or an Irish media thing.

He's an orange fool, so don't be surprised when it gets called out.

Hope that Galway couple don't return next season, they seem like decent people but are as dull as dishwater to listen to.

And the breast feeding lol. I thoroughly enjoyed last nights episode, I hope we won't be waiting too long for the next series, the 3 young lads with their parents are getting much better imo, I suppose it takes a while to settle into it, great show.

Yeah I would imagine you are quite self conscious at the beginning and then relax into it. The Limerick family are still brilliant and I love the daughter of the police man - she is always funny (cant remember their names!).

I agree about the Saunders, they have definitely got better as the show went along. The eldest lad Alan I think it is is great.

I love the Ryan's in Limerick have since season 1, same goes for the Grufferty's. Last night's episode was actually very good I wasn't expecting it because some of the others would be missing.

Canaan, Pam and Jane in Mallow I feel don't add much to the show at all and I probably wouldn't even notice if they didn't return as bad as that is.

AndrewJRenko · 29-10-2020 3:14pm

I'd guess that for the next series, they will be more inclined to pick families or groups living together to eliminate any Covid risks.

I love the relationship she has with the boys. I was cracking up with the Cinderella joke, it clicked with me the same time it did with her, which added to it.

Exact same here ,I had to think about it for a few seconds lol. Also when they were teasing the younger son, I have a fella here who is the exact same so I could totally relate, I think that's the attraction of the show, mostly very normal people so very relatable, great selection tbh so well done whoever picks the families, missed the twins last night, they're gas.

No I don't remember seeing the castleknock ladies at all. I like them but at times I think one is abit dismissive of the other, that comes across rude.

The mother and the 2 lads are gas - love their dynamic - she is definitely winning at parenting.

Definitely my favourites on the show, they've always been good though even when there was a better overall cast.

Wasn't sure about the family with the 3 sons at first [the family with the ex-copper dad] but they can be funny too, the mother is coming out of her shell a bit and one of the sons is hilarious with the dumb questions he asks

If I was to vote a couple households off, now that the season is over, I'd go with the dry Galways couple [she does my head in more than he does, he seems to at least try] and the couple from Tallaght [boxer shorts dude]

JP Liz V1 · 29-10-2020 10:03pm

The Cavan twins missing the tractor show was a let down though

iseegirls · 30-10-2020 12:19pm

Highest rating episode for it last night:

Not the biggest fan of Gogglebox, but at least it allows more public roasting of awful TV programmes, that TV companies wouldn't otherwise allow.

Find the British normal version much better than the Irish version too, there seems to be more thought put into the critiques of the British viewers, whereas the Irish people largely just play it safe with groupthink soundbites

Sweet.Science · 30-10-2020 4:41pm

Dont mind that Galway couple to be honest. Seem like nice people. How are family from Cork still on it . The most boring people that have ever been on tv

Rodin · 31-10-2020 2:20am

I don't know who selects these people.

They're all awful.

Not very representative of Ireland at all either.

fin12 · 31-10-2020 2:28am

Imagine u work in Penney’s and ur manager who is giving u orders Is on gogglebox and they are talking about how they stick their tongue in their partners ear, I mean like WTF? Do people have no shame nowadays, I’m be f*cking mortified. I just find it bizarre how people can share such private stuff on national tv.

I just think the whole thing is weird and can only imagine the sh*t that’s been said about them in store (Penney’s)

They're probably given that story by producers.

No not at all - people tune in for witty comments and reactions - the Galway lad listed out what he had eaten that day on one of the shows.

Maybe they're mature enough, even at that relatively young age, to not give a toss about what is said about them by others?

You can not care what others think and not have to plaster ur intimate personal details on national tv, do they actually think anyone wants to hear what goes on between the pair of them behind closed doors. If anything it shows how immature they are.

Black people over-represented.
Where are the Polish?
Don't see any disable people.
Don't see any middle class people.

Where are the conservative opinions? One show was about Donald Trump. To a person every one of the sheep rolled their eyes and regurgitated some negative opinion they heard in the liberal media here.

I’m fairly sure we had a polish/eastern European couple in series one.
Also their was a disabled guy into for a few seasons.
Well we do live in Ireland and the whole middle class thing really isn’t a thing here. If we had a middle class in Ireland would be considered the Ryan’s in Limerick, the Galway couple, the Kilkenny family, the Castleknock Ladies(didn’t appear this series) or do you mean very posh?

Regarding Trump. Well it is an Entertainment show and not a debate/political show.
However in my experience Trump doesn’t have a massive fan base in Ireland. Even the people I know who have no times for the gays, abortion, etc. Think he’s a fool.

There was a gent in a power wheelchair in the last series. He didn't seem to add a whole lot. Not all disabilities are visible btw.

No middle class? What would you call the ex-Garda family? Or the mum with the two boys in Limerick? Or the mum with adult daughter in north Dublin? Or the Galway teacher/farmer young couple? Or the Cavan twins?

You're really clutching at straws rather than face the reality that most Irish people reckon that Trump is a dick.

There are PLENTY of middle class people in Ireland.
They're the ones that pay for everything.

Well then the Ryan’s, Cavan twins, Kilkenny family, Galway couple, etc all work and pay for everything. Even some of the people who you considered to below you on the show work and pay taxes.
Get over yourself!

Not the first time someone has complained about black people on the show and the supposed ill-treatment of Trump. Not an entirely surprising correlation...

Over-represented.
I don't see any Asians either..

There's a very powerful black lobby. You'd even think they were the largest minority in the US given the media coverage.... of course they're not.
