Come Dine With Me

[Mia]

This is an entertaining programme. A group of people take it in turns to host dinner parties, and then give each other a score out of 10 for the food. Whoever gets the highest mark wins a cash prize.

The camera follows each person as they prepare their food and mostly muck things up. You get some really weird or horrible people on sometimes that you just love to hate! The thing that makes it is the brilliantly sarcastic commentary - I think the guy who does it is called Dave Lamb. He really is hilarious, especially about the stuck-up or nasty ones.

This used to be on around 5pm, but it's been "promoted" to 8pm tonight on Channel 4. They had a celebrity special last week, but I think it's back to "normal" ;) people tonight! I definitely recommend it.

Mia, you are a star! I had completely forgotten about this being on tonight, I love this programme!

Thanks for reminding me! :mrgreen:

[burghead lass]

i had forgotten about the programme too

I don't like the way they are cramming all four into one hour. :irked: I much prefer it when they have a hour each.

[Mia]

I totally agree, Nici. I watched it tonight and it wasn't as good as when it ran over five days, with each contestant given a whole show. You got to see all the shopping and preparation, and it was much more entertaining. It all seems very rushed now it's four people crammed into one hour (with advert breaks!). I do think they have spoilt it a bit with this format.

Re tonight's show - I thought Rebecca deserved to win as she seemed to be the one who did the most actual cooking! That Brenda came across as a really nasty piece of work and I'm glad she didn't win.

Just watched the first half. The barbie doll guy was hilarious. He was so drunk, the way he slopped his mousse things on to the plates, made me laugh so much :lol:

I agree.

[Mia]

That was gross, when the first guy spilt the wine and said that if there hadn't been guests there, he and his flatmates would have been licking it up from the floor!! And I think he was serious. Ewww.

[Blossom]

Did not like Brenda's attitude or the politics guy. I felt that they were both extremely rude. Glad they didn't win.

[FishAndChips]

No I didn't like Brenda either. She was very rude and overbearing. I missed the second half though, but I assume the other girl won? It couldn't have been the barbie doll guy.

[Mia]

Yes, it was the other girl Rebecca who won. I think she deserved it as she was the only one who seemed to do any proper cooking!

Love this programme really glad they are doing a new series!:mrgreen:

[Mia]

Last night's programme was good. There's always one horrible person who you'd love to slap, isn't there?! Last night it was that snobby woman who fancied herself as a gourmet cook. I thought she was incredibly rude, snooping in Vera's bedroom like that - she even opened drawers and took out her underwear!! :eek: I'm glad she didn't win.

Vera was a bit of a strange one, though. Her Alan Sugar "joke" was bizarre, pointless and extremely unfunny. You could almost hear the tumbleweed blowing past as the rest of them looked on in embarrassment!! Excruciating.

I didnt actuallt enjoy it that much last night - dont think it showed the people of Coventry in a good light! - how awful when that bloke was sick dreadful
