Caroline Morahan was the eventual winner who went on to present The Fame Game,[2] while in 2007 the runner up, Karen Koster, began working on TV3's Xposé.[3]

The Selection Box hosted an open audition in the RDS in 2001 in a search for a new TV presenter. A selection of these would-be presenters would then be sent on to a judging panel who would then bring them on to bootcamp.

2001 saw a wide range of reality TV shows in production. This was RTÉ's second talent search show having produced Popstars one year earlier. It had had success with its other reality task based TV show Treasure Island.

Judges

Brenda O'Donoghue was the main judge.

gollark: I kind of want to make a web-based tile menu thing now.
gollark: Well, yes, but I still like the start menu design.
gollark: Come to think of it I probably *could* design my own HTML/JS/CSS-based reimplementation, and that would be neat.
gollark: As heretical as it is I actually do really like the design of Windows 8's start menu.
gollark: They could just put "thunder".
