Mia Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 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. Quote
Nici Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Mia, you are a star! I had completely forgotten about this being on tonight, I love this programme! Thanks for reminding me! Quote
Nici Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 I don't like the way they are cramming all four into one hour. I much prefer it when they have a hour each. Quote
Mia Posted April 17, 2008 Author Posted April 17, 2008 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. Quote
~Andrea~ Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 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 Quote
JudyB Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 I don't like the way they are cramming all four into one hour. I much prefer it when they have a hour each. I agree. Quote
Mia Posted April 17, 2008 Author Posted April 17, 2008 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. Quote
Blossom Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Did not like Brenda's attitude or the politics guy. I felt that they were both extremely rude. Glad they didn't win. Quote
~Andrea~ Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 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. Quote
Mia Posted April 18, 2008 Author Posted April 18, 2008 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! Quote
Spooncat Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Love this programme really glad they are doing a new series! Quote
Mia Posted April 25, 2008 Author Posted April 25, 2008 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!! 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. Quote
Spooncat Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 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 Quote
Raven Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Did anyone see the "set" they had on yesterday afternoon? The woman who was giving one and three point votes in an obvious attempt to win the cash for herself - what a bitch! Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 I love this programme I saw it yesterday when she was marking people down. I really didn't like her and I'm so glad she didn't win. Quote
Raven Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Not sure if it was yesterday but a guy it wasn't his own apartment. It was his friends and his freinds helped him cook that cheating in my view. This one was a while back i think a lady was giving low scores just so she could win. I see Raven said it unless it another lady doing the same thing. Yes, that was the same set of people I saw. I felt sorry for the girl who was cooking the final meal; she seemed to be enjoying the whole thing immensely - and had put a lot of effort in - only to have two of the guests start taking pops at each other.

ned Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 I watched a celeb version the other day when Peter Stringfellow's sink fell through He was quite annoying though when he kept going into peoples kitchens and trying to help Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 I've seen that one before. I can remember his plates were ridiculously priced, like a couple of hundred pounds a plate. I hope they weren't in the sink Quote
aquarius91 Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Oh nooo I missed it I love come dine with me. The Dave Lamb (if Ive got that right) guy is hilarious. Im always in stitches with his sarcastic comments. Quote
ned Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Anyone watching this at the mo on channel 4. Eating sushi off a hairy bloke. *gag* Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Yeah...disgusting. I've seen this one before. (Shh....I'm kinda addicted to this programme!) Quote
ned Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 It is quite addictive. I don't know what would have horrified me more sushi or the naked bloke it was being served off Quote
