The Weakest Link hostess Anne Robinson, known best for her sharp tongue and icy wit, flew into Galway this week after asking for priority seating.
In a “Don’t you know who I am?” tone of voice, the ‘Queen of Mean’ asked that air stewards give her priority boarding and separate seating. It seemed that Robinson did not want to be recognised by passengers who could potentially bombard the presenter with her famous catchphrase.
They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but no one ever said don’t judge a potential boyfriend by his house. Cupid ar Cuairt is a new dating series in which a single woman must decide which of three possible partners to have a date with, just by analysing where they live!
Without ever meeting the men, the single lady must walk around the three houses and decide which guy is most suitable, with the help of a psychologist to tell her what it all means.
Just as he lorded midfield for Galway a decade ago, Sean O Domhnaill is really making a name for himself in the RTE reality show Failte Towers which has turned out to be decent viewing this week.
The series has been one of RTE’s better attempts at reality TV (at least the hotel hasn’t burned down) and the Connemara man is making a real impact providing a calm when all hell is breaking loose as the dozen or so celebs run a full hotel with all sorts of madcap guests turning up, including nudists and hen parties.
