Why do Irish people go on dating shows?

Yeah I'd imagine its all about the fame for most. They can be guaranteed to get more followers after it. You're right though, it takes balls.

Not as much balls as those who used to go on the UK doctor shows, and say "I was too embarrassed to go to talk to my doctor about the rash on the end of my knob, but sure I'll show it to a doctor on a tv programme with half a million watching".

Maybe not in and of itself. It takes time do develop a large following online which can eventually be monetized, and if it gives them some more exposure and followers then its job done.

I know a girl that went on first dates during covid when they were doing the socially distanced dates. She is a model and was on that miss bikini Ireland thing as well so certainly not lacking confidence.

No but plenty would follow a good looking woman with a big booty.

Although there is that fella from Wicklow making an absolute killing on OnlyFans. I can't think of his name. He was a barber and decided to get into it after his business closed during the pandemic. His missus works as a nurse.

Love in the country was brilliant last night, a bit cringe but fair play to the for giving it a go.

I still wouldn't show my rashy knob on TV, no matter what size the country is.

Not at all, at least they put themselves out there, not sitting at home cursing the dark, as the Mammy said just looking for a bit of loving.

Dermot Bannon got his first taste of the limelight on Blind Date. For inflicting that dose on us, they should all be banned.
