    One who has earned this dubious title features in this new program, and its not Doctor Botox.

    Just because a few airheads go on shows like Tallafornia and this particular one doesn't mean the entire nation has suddenly became shallow or trashy.
    No, but it shows we have our fair share of shallow and trashy people too. All too often you hear Irish people sneering at all Americans or Brits based on the people they see on their shallow trashy shows as if they were representative of the whole nation. Well guess what, we're just as bad.

    Surely you're being a bit harsh here, most people I know who've seen shows like Jersey Shore or Keeping Up With The Kardashians think they're vacuous rubbish. Just because a few airheads go on shows like Tallafornia and this particular one doesn't mean the entire nation has suddenly became shallow or trashy. Look at the popularity of the 'Tallafornia Swipe' videos on Youtube, they nearly get more views than Tallafornia itself.

    I think shows like these are a result of TV3's complete lack of imagination in programming rather than any serious reflection on the lifestyles of the Irish public.

    What does that prove?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭Defiler Of The Coffin


    What does that prove?

    That the people on Tallafornia are a laughing stock for most. That it doesn't reflect the lives of most people.

    Well I don't know many people that would stereotype an entire nation because of a daft TV show but fair enough.

    At least no-one outside of Ireland will watch this particular one!

    "Dr Botox" won't come out of this in a good light. I suspect there's something very, very wrong with her pathology.

    I think they actually had a program on before called 'the man who wants to be a cat.'

    The best thing about this programme is reading the comments on the drivel that TV3 has served up...so hilarious. I watched 5 mins of this. I turned over to RTE and watched a programme on how people are suffering by debt and was horrified. Those women should be ashamed of themselves to think that anyone should aspire to this vacant moneygrabbing lifestyle. They are ugly inside as well as outside. The only one vaguely attractive is the one from the Chippy. Whats going on with the blonde one with the man's chin? Katie taylor would love that come the Olympics.

    Lisa Murphy always gives me a good laugh. She spends a fortune of cash on plastic surgery, hair and makeup, always trys to do a sexy look or pose for the cameras but always looks hideous. Can anyone find a picture of here where she looks good?
    This is just scary:

    Jesus H Christ. She should have sued the surgeon who did that boob job.

    Here's a naked pic of her. Probably nsfw


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,972 ✭✭✭cofy


    Did anyone else notice that Lisa dropped the accent tonight? I thought it made her instantly more likeable.

    She held her 30th party on the MV Cill Airne in 2005/2006. Fact.

    She has lips like a new born calf.

    i had a feeling it was when she was in college for the second time, so that sounds about right. botox must slow time as well as (badly slowing) aging..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,515 ✭✭✭LH Pathe


    Why does the media tend to precede the names of these vacuous wannabe's as "the beautiful.." where it's not a grump section.

    Macari looks like rocky balboa having gone 13 rounds w/ herself

    Thought Dr. Botox announcing herself as a lady was hillarious given the language she used to describe Michael Doherty on camera. I am not a fan of the man myself, but I am starting to think that they would be a perfect match for each other.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,301 ✭✭✭Daveysil15


    This sort of thing is setting a bad example for young girls around the country. Things are bad enough as it is.

    How so? If young girls are silly enough to aspire to that shower, there is probably no hope for them anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,676 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    Danielle was on Brendan O Connor's show last night. She made no secret of the fact she doesn't like the rest of them but in fairness she is smarter than the rest of them as she is a qualified dentist and the others seem to just swan around the place doing nothing and getting handouts from their partners.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭christmas2012


    i wouldnt watch it there all a bunch of bitches just looking for notieriety so one day they can sell a perfume,i make a decision now not to watch these things,its just pointless,all the drama they stoke up for 'reality tv' is so fake..well most of it anyway
    whats wrong with them anyway are they afraid to age?honestly..i think the botox is out of control on her face it looked so shiny it was wierd.anyway there is nothing that botox face can do about gravity maybe she should have done her degree on physics if she was really concerned about ageing..

    Don't underestimate the power of television and the media. A lot of girls go on and on about tallafornia. Some people think this is the proper way to act!

    I don't. I just have my doubts about The Dublin Housewives being seen as anything other than light weight reality crap. And anyone who sees it as anything else are probably a bit stupid.


  • Registered Users Posts: 901 ✭✭✭Vicar in a tutu


    Watched one episode of it. Yer one Virginia is so fake! Lisa is a simpleton. Danielle has to be the worst though. I liked the other two. :pac:

    Apart from that the show was woeful and they were all such hoes

    Why is this show called 'Dublin Housewives'? Two of them aren't married I wouldn't say Lisa Murphy does much housework with those finely manicured nails.

    Good Lord. These women look like dodgy transvestites with too much makeup, 20 years older than their actual ages and over-botoxed. If they wanted to make a show like this, TV3 should have actually used stylish women that some of us might actually watch on tv..not these trailer trash!

    I wouldn't be seen dead on ITV Ireland TV3. A rather superficial show about plastic people (in every sense) on a pathetic excuse for a television channel.

    http://www.tv3.ie/shows.php?request=dublinhousewives

    Dublin Housewives Virginia Macari, Roz Flanagan, Lisa Murphy, Jo Jordan and Danielle Meagher are living the dream with handsome husbands, beautiful children, immaculate homes and a fabulous wardrobe. We get a glimpse into their lives as they shop and lunch their days away before spending their evenings sipping cocktails>
    =============================================

    Even more cringe-inducing stuff from TV3. I guess they have to fill the void until the next series of Tallfornia returns. Why are these people willing to open themselves up to so much hatred and ridicule by going on these shows?! Would you go on one of these shows or do you know anyone who has?


    Correct me if I'm wrong but - four of these five non-entity y-celebs don't have a husband!??!!
    Murphy couldn't get a hoofer with lots of dough to go through with it - so she's still single with the 'solicitor to the z-stars that are Irish gossip fodder'
    Macari can't get the proginator of her offspring KASTE (Norwegian guy) to even pop the question ....
    Jordan - it's been reported - is no longer with her husband .... perhaps something to do with all the millions that banks have got judgements against him for recently?
    Meagher has a son ..... but no man - as she has had widely reported.
    Flanagans man is evidently still in situ .... but then who really knows? Or cares?

    Surely who ever writes the copy for the z-listers could have at least got a bit of the basic details right? Or am I asking too much of TV3??

    THE best description of those five ... :)
