Bollox. You're only saying that as I said it of the rest of em. She's easily the hottest of the lot and I won't be discussing this further.

At 66/1 she's gonna make me rich too!

But it's not a beauty contest! They're judged on... on... err what exactly?

It's all a bit of cringe but it's ultimately fairly harmless. As long as women are happy to continue entering and are treated respectfully by the organisers then more luck to them.

Had to look at North Carolina to see why she's rock bottom in the odds. Can't see anything wrong with her, seems harsh to put her at 200/1. Unless she has a really irritating personality or something...

How can one be such a **** hot favorite at this time?

Its not like horse racing. If the favorite stutters during her poem she is ****ed.

The Newcastle rose is lovely.

The irony of the anonymous writer of this article claiming that the Father Ted “Don’t they all have lovely bottoms” references people still use for the Rose of Tralee outdated and misogynistic is baffling. It is like some 19 year old, just out of school and lacking life experience wan tried to write something topical and edgy but dressed up in a valid point. Not even a name to the article!

Who else have 3 weeks off in July / august to compete?

whisky_galore

It's a bit cringey but it as long as it makes money for Killarney's ugly sister of a town that's all that matters I guess.

All pretty much wholesome looking “girl next door” types of girl according to those photos. The San Fran Rose looks a little like Cameron Diaz.

The Arizona and Cork roses look very attractive to me.

I’ve known a couple of the ones from my county all I can say is they are out and out wagons. Put on a show publically and are horrible people otherwise.

Doesn’t go for all of them obviously!

Why isn’t there a “Lovely Man” contest akin to the Rose, somewhere? One of the “Hidden Heartlands” more boring towns could drum up tourism by inventing such as fest. They would have female escorts, be they straight or gay, for the period of the festival; a female host would ask questions about the mammy, daddy, granny etc, what’s your great career path, and then the obligatory song or dance. Or what about a “Trans of Tuam” contest, that would make for a good festival.

JupiterKid

Why are most of the escorts at the Rose of Tralee mildly ok looking at best, usually rather plain or downright spud in the mouth ugly?

Is so that the Roses’ boyfriends/partner’s don’t get too jealous or something?

Yes, but that's a different kind of show altogether.

Bradlin

Actually, that's a great idea. Just like the way certain towns miraculously had moving statues and kids who say the Sun dancing in the sky, there must be some place that could make a name for itself by arranging this. It's probably beyond the pay grade of Local TDs and Councillors though. If Claire Byrne hosted it, I'm in!!

Mom is alright too!

The rose that is in the judging panel is Brenda Hyland. Her daugther was on Dancing With The Stars this year. Her name was Alannah Byrne.

To bitch about it! why do you think?
