And so, Kerry waves goodbye for another year to the childless, unmarried/never been married, career minded, thoroughly modern women of Irish descent taking part in the Rose of Tralee.

The organisers have a huge task today to clear the mountain of ladies knickers left behind for the sex god that is Dáithí Ó Sé. With a nod of the head and a wink, he single managed to raise the pulse rate of Mná na h-Éireann by at least 2 beats per minute.

Nah, but seriously. How did he do? The Rate the Telly household had a good old laugh and thought he did well, bringing a bit of bounce to the proceedings.

It’s the 3rd week of Brendan O’Connor’s Saturday Night Show. This week he spoke with Ray D’arcy, Katherine and Maureen Lynch, Gino D’Acampo and Johnny Logan. 521,000 people tuned in to the show last week to watch Jedward and Michael Barrymore.

O’Connor has his vocal critics, but he seems to be pulling in the numbers. Craig Doyle is due to take over from him at the end of his 8 week run.

How would you rate this week’s show? Please leave a comment and rating.

The gigglesite on YouTube captured the above video of the D’Arcy D’Acampo hug in all it’s slow motion glory.

I’ve been running my blog, lecraic.com, for almost two years. I’ve noticed that posts on topics related to television tend to get a lot of visits. People like to talk about what they’ve watched on TV so I thought a website to rate and talk about programmes might be a good idea.

And so, RateTheTelly.ie is born. Let the ratings commence!
