Don't Tell The Bride
It was all about something old, something new, something borrowed and a big tattoo on this week's episode of Don't Tell The Bride.
Derek and Leona are childhood sweethearts, laying eyes on each other at the tender age of seventeen, when Leona was just still at school (Clearly Derek forgot that the camera was rolling when he made "short skirt"). The inseparable lovebirds grew up close to each other in Sandyford, and have a lot of mutual friends in common.
Ten years on the couple still reside in Sandyford, but they are now living together on the same grounds as Derek's parents and his two brothers (I kid you not). I couldn't help but giggle when Leona's friend compared the house to Heuston Station as there are always visitors.

Like anyone else who's spent far too much of their time watching less-than-inspiring TV, I've often said to myself: 'I could do better than that!' But I couldn't, really. Coming up with a basic idea for a show is one thing, but having the ability to develop characters, plan plots and themes, and write dialogue? That's a serious business, as is the ability to wrap it all up and draw in your average viewer, who nowadays has hundreds of channels and the internet at their disposal.
The Voice Of Ireland
It was all about tears, sighs of relief and jumps of joy this week on The Voice Of Ireland, as the coaches filled the last remaining places on their teams. As always, bucket loads of talent took the Helix by storm, but unfortunately not all of the auditionees made the cut.
Carolann Haskins (22) a music student from Kildare was one of the lucky few to secure a place in the final twelve on Team Bressie. Her musical knowledge and experience really shone through in her performance of Last Name. It sounded like the song was written especially for her. I thoroughly enjoyed this audition, and really hope Carolann survives in the battle rounds. If she is fortunate enough to make it to Team Bressie's final six, I would love to hear her rendition of Garth Brook's Ain't Goin Down ('Til The Sun Comes Up), or a country version of The Easybeats River Deep, Mountain High.
Elliot Canavan Doyle (19) from Meath stole the show with his version of Damien Rice's 9 Crimes. It was one of my favourite performances of the series. His awkwardness and shyness on stage, actually worked to his advantage. I found his vulnerability to be quite endearing. Elliot's silky smooth voice made him a pleasure to listen to. I would gladly buy his album any day! It is hard to believe that just a couple of years ago the apprentice hairdresser barely had the confidence to talk. From the banter he had with the coaches to his little brother's incredibly cute comment, Elliot came across as a down-to-earth and genuine guy. I predict that he will go really far in the competition. In fact, Kian may have a potential winner on his hands.

The Voice of Ireland
It was a case of third time lucky (and then some) for The Voice of Ireland this weekend as the auditioness continued to take The Helix by storm, while some of the coaches created a few blizzards of their own (excuse the pun).
