Come Dine With Me

Big fan of this show, although I do get annoyed when they allow contestants to cheat by allowing extra help with the cooking (or getting a catering firm to do the lot and sneaking it in through the kitchen window in one episode)!

Favourite contestant ever is the gruesome Pippa - (remember, she was the one who kept "squirty cream" Vera waiting outside in the cold and dark for having the impertinence to arrive early)
 
Yesterday there was one where she was voting strategically. She voted everyone a 1. She was a complete cow, I was getting really angry watching it. But then they called her out and she had to revote and lost. Still, she got my goat.

Then later, they were in Wales somewhere, and the woman made a disasterous meal. She was winging the whole thing and it all just sounded and looked horrible and totally disorganized.

I love this show. It's so funny to see what people cook!

He served pigs trotters.

:cool:

How did he not win?

:confused:

to be fair, much as I thought the guy was a tool he did deserve credit for serving pigs' trotters. Second only to a baked bone with toast :)

God, I saw that one as well. She was a right twat, though I didn't really take to anyone in that group.
 
I like it.
Quite partial to the celeb version too.
If only because we get to see inside their houses.

I liked the way that everyone gave him quite high marks because they all had such a laugh and a good time, despite his food being worse than pig slop.
 
i love this programme: always watch the sunday "omnibus" on more4.

it's more about the social dynamics of the group than the food. i enjoy the snobbery (normal and inverted) of all the contestants.
 
It looked like this week's lot ended up in a right barney earlier on; I was on the phone to my bezzer so couldn't hear what they were saying. Shame :(

Basically more fighting with that psychic nutjob in the middle of things as usual. :D
Still, imagine how much smugger/insufferable the lecturer and the organic postman would’ve seemed if she hadn’t been there.

I knew there was going to be trouble when she pulled a black crystal out of her cleavage for for psychic protection...

Nice gesture by the winner to take the others out for a nice meal with the prize money. Somehow, I don't think Annette was invited, though.
 
I did see the end bit, where she came out with the self-deluder's classic: "I knew I was going to come last, because the others would gang up on me and do their thing, but it doesn't matter" *sniff* :D

innit!! ffs :rolleyes:
and that bit about 'i'm not really coughing, it's just my chakras stuck in my throat' oh dear :D
 
I was thinking last night how wonderfull it would be to appear on the show in my own way.

I'd probably start by having a 5 hour drinking binge in paper cups with some seafood chucked in, a bit of Karaoke for the impressive erm crap and then a stupidly hot baked enchilada.

cornetto for afters
