Well nearly one quarter of the people who voted. Voted for Casey.
I even no people who hated Casey and they'd have agreed he was treated terribly on The Late Late Show.
If John Connors was on and a gang of people in the audience gangned up on him they'd be war.
There was no comment about this.
They only showed him when he was a bit muddled and not when he spoke a little better.
There was a traveller lad in the audience who spoke terribly but they didn't show this.
Even the reaction on social sort of liberal people on social media thought he was treated badly by Ryan apart from travellers and lefty RTE people.

You know the viewers get to watch the full show, right? So they saw the whole show, and that was the reactions they picked.


Perhaps there was some selective editing. Perhaps they had some pro-Casey comments that were edited. Perhaps there were some comments like this about Casey that were edited out.

Just because the content doesn't suit you personally, that doesn't mean there is a massive conspiracy against Casey.

Why can’t he get 70ish votes? Look what he’s already achieved in such a short period of time.

So which TD's or which parties do you think will support him in the vote for Taoiseach?

Casey made an absolute fool of himself

Maybe he did but he wasnt the only one. Namely Tubs and even worse the travellers. They shouted him down and went into typical traveller agro mode. How streotypical. A PR disaster for them.

Independent TD’s. Sinn Fein if they are smart should ask him to join them.

Surprised at the negative reactions to this week's episode. Yeah tv3 went for the PC route, but can we blame them really? They're not going to risk getting in trouble for the sake of a Gogglebox episode.

Anyway, I thought this week's one was very good, the Cabra girls reaction to the weird twins on First Dates was priceless :pac:

Well why didn’t they just not show the interview at all if they aren’t going to show opinions from both sides.

Maybe they didn’t get opinions from both sides? Maybe all the viewers shared similar views of Casey?

If he got all the Independents (which he won't) and all of Sinn Fein (though he is diametrically opposed to them on most policies, based on his utterances to date), he'd have about half the number he needs. Where's the other half going to come from?

I just found there reactions very unrealistic.
It's all in the editing tough and Virgin Media wouldn't have put anything negative on towards travellers similar to Ryan on The Late Late Show!

I'm sure the Goggleboxers will be fascinated to hear that.

where did you hear that? Damn it anyway, that was very short, I'm pretty sure it ran to closer to Christmas last year! Also, last time it finished before Christmas and didn't come back until September, hope we don't have to wait that long again after tonight!

iamwhoiam

That young Tadhg lad with his granny is a right little pain in the arse

Tauriel

Kenny was the star of the show tonight.

They're probably making way for I'm a Celeb, could have just put it on an hour later or something. I hate that the series doesn't film as long as the UK version though.

Very touching hearing Des's story about being attacked and feeling ashamed to talk about it.

CiaranW

Love the show.
The only people who i can't stand is Angela and Eileen.

goochy

Eileen is ok , i left Dublin for cork to get away from the Angelas of this world

LushiousLips

I'll miss this on Wednesday nights now

Maz2016

Wednesdays won’t be the same. So proud of Des, you could tell that wasn’t easy for him to say.

Just wonder how recording of the show is organised? Are the participants given a link or a recording of the shows to watch when free time and filming crew are organised? Or are they told for example Fri night 9:30pm. It's just sometimes they seem surprised or excited they are going to watch something but if someone says Friday 9:30pm you're gonna have a fair idea it's the Late Late Show.

I heard at one stage that they have to do 7 or 8 hours watching all together in one go at the weekend - must be fairly arse-numbing.


They seem to turn around the edits very quickly for broadcast, within a few days.

Marz66

I was wondering the same. They have different clothes on though. And different snacks.
Of course that could all be staging.
Maybe it’s 2 4 hour blocks.

goochy

are you sure about weekend thing ?
i thought with some of the programmes on , they had watched shows that were on say on the Monday and Tuesday before the gogglebox box was airedon the Weds/ Thurs ?

Looks like a few specials in the New Year, judging by listings on VM in the first week:

Gogglebox Does 80 and 90's.
The '80s and 90s' are first up to get the Gogglebox treatment, as our families give us an exclusive romp through the archives. During their trip down memory lane, our cast get a comical reminder that Ireland was a very different place back in 1994 as some lovely ladies went head to head in the Calor Housewife of the Year competition. a steamy roll in a Wicklow hayshed gave us that lovely pang of Catholic guilt in 1998, while we also learned that Gay Byrne teaching the nation how to use a condom is just as cringey today as it was back in 1987.

Yay!
However, the one on Wednesday night looks like a repeat. They seem to have 2 specials. In this recent article, the producer said he’d be surprised if virgin didn’t go for a fifth season - so looks like it mightn’t be confirmed
