Really like the older sisters from Donegal - great chat and banter from them.

I agree they seem to be the main focus of the series, nice lads and they always seem to focus on them saying something outrageous

Australian version is my favourite out of the three i watch

I agree 👍🏻

I think the first few series were much better than the corresponding UK series of the time. But the Irish version has been poor this season IMO. The new people aren't great.

Why shouldn't we watch it? It's an enjoyable show overall but has a few duds on it.

Remember we are seeing the edited version. I’d be pretty confident that anything slightly controversial would be edited out, so it’s unlikely we are seeing their true personalities. The editing is probably crafting planned personalities for each family also.

You may have overlooked my point. Over the last few seasons they have contributed a lot of commentary that extends beyond the realms of their sexuality (which they, along with any other of the families, are entitled to do). It's interesting that you seem to have focused in on the comments that do relate to their sexual identity and have chosen to overlook all the other commentary that they make, which is extensive and the majority. Like I said in my previous post I think they're one of the few families that offer a lot of depth. They regularly comment on more serious topics and news items and seem genuine and informed in what they say. Why do you choose to overlook this commentary?

The Cabra ladies often and openly make similar comments, the Tully lads have also made similar comments, Barbara and Janet in Donegal the same, along with a lot of the other families. Why choose to focus on John and Dave and not say the same about others that make similar comments? I suspect this says more about you and your own personal feelings towards them and their sexuality as gay men.

Anyway, it's not my intent to get into debate in this thread. However, it's important to call out this narrative for what it is. Regardless, the one thing everyone in this thread can hopefully agree on is that the show is some nice light entertainment. Off course there are going to be certain families that people gravitate toward and that's the joy of the show :).

I'm loving this series. It's the last episode next week. :/

I'm sure she was only thinking of the environment and regenerating her local peatlands when she said she'd bury him in the bog. 😉

Last episode tomorrow I wonder if they will do any specials or anything it’s a pity it’s over

Where can you watch the Australian one?

David was talking about his niece on the show, not his nephew. He had a story on his instagram with his niece talking about how he thought it was mad a 7 year old accepted Revolut the week before the show. The likelihood is they both have it but seeing as his nieces birthday was more recent it was a talking point between John and he? They don't strike me as the type that would try and force themselves. I agree though, this season wasn't their strongest - but it's nice to see variety across seasons. I felt the same about the Cabra ladies and the twins. I think they add a lot but seemed a little deflated toward the end. You never know what's going on in the families personal lives so maybe there was something else going.

I adore Barbara and Janet, they're great fun. Same with the father and daughter from Leitrim. He's great.

I agree though, a fun season overall. Looking forward to having it back next year. Hopefully it will be back earlier!

I felt the season was good enough. I'd have liked a few more episodes.

I don't think the new families were great tough. Brother and sister were meeh and the Ashbourne family especially the dad didn't ad anything to it for me.
