Saw the tail end of this last night, only about 6 or 7 women and have to say that I through the standard was very disappointing. Very poor quality indeed. One of them sounded like a man.

She didn't just sound like a man, she actually was a man, N16 (S)he was The Transgenderal Rose, replacing The Tasmanian Rose who hasn't been seen for a few years now...Get with the times man!

The one that was going out with Kieran Joyce was a bit of an ape. She didnt know the difference between a back and a forward.

how over 6 hours of prime time viewing is sucked up by this interminable dreary bore fest every year is truly beyond me!

Maybe because it attracts a huge TV audience and generates huge advertising revenue for RTE, maybe that's why they put it on TV every year?
There are other channels and things to do in the evening than watch RTE.

My thoughts exactly as I was reading the topic Jo, we really are a masochistic people, forcing ourselves to watch 4 hours(?) of telly that we do not want to watch.Didn't see the first night, and only saw the tail end of last night, but from what I saw once again you had a fine bunch of classy talented high achieving well spoken young wans who are a credit to themselves and their families. Of course they would fall somewhat short of the bar set by AFR posters. [/QUOwhat channel was Miss World on last night?

Miss Malawi must have been watching the Tipp-Kilkenny game in her dressing room before the contest as she did a foul worse than anything seen the hurling game...

yes there are other channels to watch, mostly rubbish, but as a tv license holder who has to shell out the ridiculously high fee of 160 euro a year, Im entitled to air my grievances about this yearly vomit inducing programme that passes for 'entertainment'!! One night would be hard enough to stomach, but 2 nights is taking the pi"s big time. Its all fine and dandy for a beaming uncle pat and aunty may to look on appreciatively at their simpering little niece doing an Irish jig up on the stage but after the umpteenth time, it does tend to jar on the brain, if you want to sit thru 3 hours + of sheer tedium then why not trot away down to Tralee and grab yourself a ringside seat, in the meantime the public broadcaster can get back to airing something a bit more suitable for prime time tv...
