She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer,
Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that won me;
Oh no, 'twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning,
That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee.
The Rose of Tralee is basically Ireland’s Olympics, except instead of sports, contestants compete in chatting, charming, and not spilling tea on their dresses.
The Hoes of Tralee, hosted by the Wild Geeze, is a very similar affair, but with added madness, some smut and a dash of nudity... So yeah, almost the same.
Just like any contest, there are various rounds such as Introduction Round, the Swimsuit Round, and the Talent Round, where contestants do their best to impress both the judges and the audience!
Every contestant gave it their all, but there could be only one winner, and unfortunately for the losers, they were beaten by the Patsy Pleasure, the South Dublin Hoe and 2024 winner. Rumour has it her father sponsors the event, so make of that what you will!
Anyway, in the midst of all this madness, we also had the Escort of the Year competition. And before you jump to conclusions, it's not that type of escort! Who won that? Jake did!
Who performed on the night? Well, apart from the aforementioned Wild Geeze, these were your performers:
Aurora Divine - The Longford Hoe
Daria Décolleté - The Galway Hoe
GoblinsGoblinsGoblins - The US Hoe
Betty Beour - The Cork Hoe
