RTE/How Low Can You Go?

Did anyone watch the first in the new series of How Low Can You Go? on Net2 last night?

Mark was like a passenger on the show, compared to the two main guys Baz & Mike.

I can't decide what's most irritating about him: his luuuuuuuuuuuuuuudicrous accent, or his blonde antics?

I saw it last week and, interestingly, I noticed the exact same thing (without even reading this post!) - he was generally in the background for most shots, not talking to the camera and, at times, just not there. In the first season, I think, the camera used to go with him on his own 'gay' adventures at times...

To be honest though - it's far better this way, I am by no means a fan of the show, but the chemistry seems to work much better with the other two working in front of the camera.

It's not a bad show actually - I had expected it would be terrible but it was pretty funny, the episode I saw (Copenhagen).

I thought this show was about how little they could spend on holiday? At the end of last weeks show is showed some ridiculous price for plane tickets when ryanair would have got them there for way less.

Is it wrong that I want to all Edward Norton and make 'em bite the curb?!

I always watch this cos I like travel shows and its interesting to see where they go etc but I find them all very irritating. I think maybe they try too hard to be funny, I think they dont show much respect in other countries as well did you see in toronto they were stamping on the stars on the walk of fame that was ignorent even if it was celine dion! Always rude in restaurants as well. As for that Baz guy when he acts all gay trying to be funny its not much different from the way he usually acts! Maybe the show could use new people, or does anyone actually like them?

I like the guy from the carlsburg ads but i think the other guy's bastardness rubs off on him a bit

Arathorn · 10-03-2006 9:02pm

Which guy is on the carlsberg ad? I'd say they all hate each other anyway

I should hate the show, but usually watch it anyway because there is the odd good moment.

The gay guy annoys me. He just tries too hard.

The guy on the carlsberg ad is harmless.

The only guy I like is Baz. I might be in a minority of one, and he is a bit OTT, but he is able to have a laugh at himself anyway. Most of his lines miss, but sometimes he weighs in with a funny line. And every now and again he is comfortable putting on a wig, looking dumb, and prancing around like any normal fellow up for a laugh after a few pints.

Na, i saw him on that cosmetic surgery thing and he came across a real ponce(haven't said that in ages......or ever). He tries just as hard as the gay guy, the carlsburg guyis the only one to take a genuine interest in the city they're staying in and never really takes the piss.

Last night's show (London) wasn't the worst.

I've nothing against Mark (honestly), but he's the weakest guy on tv, by yards.
Being gay isn't "enough" to be successfull... you actually have to be good at what you do! And boy is he sh1t.

For example...
He goes gay clubbing in London. Great. The only thing he can think of asking lads he runs into is: "what's it like to be gay in London?"

FFS, how unoriginal and lame is that??
