House of Love
-
24-03-2013 1:13pm#1Another thread in AH (most embarrassing thing on tv) got me thinking about this tv show.
The premise was that 8 couples competed for a house - in Mullingar.
From some online digging I see that the winners (a couple from Limerick and Tipperary) never actually moved into it. It was worth €179,000 when they won in 2003 and apparently was worth €279,000 2 years later.
Does anyone know
(a) did the winners sell it or do they still own it (the rules did not preclude them from selling it iirc)
(b) are the winners still together??
(b) the other couples - are they still together etc? Did they manage to buy their own houses during the next few crazy years after 03?
:mad: The years from then until now are really key in boom/bust history of Ireland
I think it'd be a nice bit of social history if RTE could revisit them all and we saw how they fared through the last decade.
Ps. Funny how they were all m/f couples. Wonder was this specifically stated in the rules?!! I wonder if they did it now m/m and f/f couples would be included. I assume and hope so!
So anyone know anyone who took part etc?0

no, some of them were.Deleted User wrote: »Nope, they weren't.
Married couples were excluded.
According to the rte website there was "more info" available on the House of Love website. I'd be interested to see the website and see all the rules etc but I can't locate it
Ps. Whoopsadaisy - I don't recall that rule myself, I thought one or two were married, but could not swear to that.0 -

I tried to find it too but to now avail!
There were no married couples on the show, because married couples were excluded from entering.0 -

Brenda Donoghue was the Presenter and devised the Format. She wasn't impressed with the outcome. This article was from 2010, she still isn't Ireland's answer to Oprah ...RTE star Brenda Donoghue has set her sights on becoming Ireland's answer to Oprah Winfrey.
Donoghue, who is Derek Mooney's right-hand woman on his radio show, was almost put off working in television for life when she first started a decade ago.
She revealed: "The House of Love was in the early 2000s, but it wasn't a resounding success and it bruised my enthusiasm. It's only now I'm starting to develop more ideas for TV.
I can't read the rest of the Article because they want me to subscribe

They must have been patting themselves on the back for that one.0 -

sitting lonely on a plastic chair
I thought this was going to be about the 80's band.
Let's make it so.
