They might have edited the episode due to the guy from blind date!

The guy that was on it and was chosen was a guy that beat up a man in his 60's in Australia. He ended up getting a sentence and fled Australia.
It was all over the news here. A quick Google by the researches would have have
saved themselves a lot of hassle.

That's crazy! Bit scary for the date to find out about it after the fact!

A few new hair cuts and styles

There must have been a 2 for 1 deal on hideous velvet dresses. The Cabra one looks like a roast ready to go in the oven.

The two girls from Wicklow have really grown into the show since they stopped cursing as much. Quite like them and they have some witty one liners.

Still love the Cavan Lads but they definitely seem to be taking a back seat. The Limerick sons and mother are stealing the show and are absolutely fantastic. Gruffertys are class.

The Cooley boys are hilarious. Seem really down to earth and the piece about accents was comedy gold. Badically used the same accent for all the counties.

goochy · 19-10-2017 5:12pm

yes Wicklow girls are ok now - blond one is quite hot too.
find the cooley lads a bit false - trying too hard. the Pembroke couple are just terrible.

Jamie2k9 · 20-10-2017 1:52am

Does the Louth lad in the middle not drink?

Utopia Parkway · 20-10-2017 3:59pm

The Cavan twins definitely seem a bit more reserved or something this series. Can't really remember too many stand out moments from them recently.

The Pembroke couple are an attempt to copy the UK's Giles and Mary but they are just not very interesting whereas Giles at least is quite funny in the UK version.

fin12 · 20-10-2017 4:20pm

haha the Louth fellas doing a cork accent.

Giles and Mary are among my favourites in the UK version, I wish the Pembroke pair were more like them!

UK version is so stale lately, I watch out of habit but I don't really enjoy it that much. Whereas the Irish version is going from strength to strength IMO.

freshpopcorn · 20-10-2017 7:13pm

I think the Pembroke pair might be good if they got a bit tipsy!

If any of you can you should watch the Aussie series. It's excellent.

I saw a clip on fb today from oz goggle box.
A lady was pulled over for drink driving. She tried to con it by not blowing, pretending she was. Hilarious

Ya it's is, I was watching the uk one last Friday and didn't bother finishing it, it was so boring.

It's excellent. Much cruder than the UK one which makes it funnier

How do we get to watch the Oz version?

sporina · 22-10-2017 10:11pm

just watched the most recent episode and I had a thought - if you were living abroad and missing home, Gogglebox Ireland would be class to watch - tears would be flowing too though no doubt..
