****ting snake anyone?, i really despise this program i hate having it on while on im having dinner with the family, the incivility of having your tv on while at dinner is one thing but dedicating snakes and others picking hairs out of their foods makes me nauseous, I don't know anyone who likes watching other people eat while your eating.

Boring. I don't want to watch people cooking a decent meal. That's what cooking shows are for. I want to see what would happen if someone served toasted sandwiches.

There was a celebrity Come Dine With Me where one of the contestants served Old El Paso fajitas. That was great.

There can't be, half the fun of the show is looking at the weird slop some people proudly serve up.

My favourite was one woman who described making a fruit coulis. She described how some people would get fresh berries, sweeten them, boil and reduce them and then sieve it. But said she had a much quicker way that was just as nice, then she proceeded to mix a few spoonfuls of cheap jam with warm water out of the tap.:pac:

She served it with ice-cream and squirty cream, with a few crushed Malteasers on top. She also made a "summer punch" which was a bottle of white wine, half a bottle of vodka, a bottle of blue WKD served in a big bowl with some tinned fruit cocktail. The others nearly choked on it.

I love watching cooking shows and the likes while I eat or just before I'm about to eat. After I'm finished eating though I lose interest in the show pretty quickly. Its a lot like masturbating to porn really, living vicariously through what your seeing on the screen :pac:

Thread needs more "snake pooing on table"..

I think they are shooting themselves in the foot by showing the English version first. Mainly because its been repeated so many times on More4 and Channel4 already. It is a good format but like the Apprentice I feel its on far too much.

magentas

well they're still searching for contestants so god knows when it'll actually be screened!

Londis spends €300k on Come Dine With Me

Londis is spending more than €300,000 to sponsor the TV series Come Dine With Me, which made its debut on TV3 this month.

The series will be aired five days a week for 12 months, and will include a celebrity version which will run for ten weeks. The first Irish version of the show is set for launch later in 2011.

Londis trade marketing manager Sue O’Grady said she hoped the show would have a big impact here.

‘‘This sponsorship will allow us to demonstrate the accessibility and wide product range of Londis stores across the country, and it also gives the brand an impactful TV presence practically every day of the week.


‘‘We are particularly excited at the upcoming launch of the Irish version of the show and look forward to revealing more details later in the year.”

The TV stings were created By DDFH&B, dramatising the disasters that regularly befell contestants in the cookery and hosting show, such as burning food or spilling wine. In the stings, products from Londis were produced to save the day.

Londis will also be running promotional campaigns throughout the year.

Launched in January 2005 On Channel 4,Come Dine With Me has become a global phenomenon, with international versions running or planned for more than 26 territories worldwide.

5 days a week for 12 months? I presume they're talking about airing the UK one as well as the Irish one there?

Cmon - the vetting is only to ensure you can't cook :P

5 days a week for 12 months? :eek:

Such an overkill of the show no matter if it's a mix of Irish/English ones.

tbh this show has become a bit jaded anyway.

I think if there was a unique Irish take on it, perhaps using someone like Ardal O'Hanlon in Doogle mode for the voiceovers, it might have made it a bit interesting.

FYP!

To be honest, everyone I know watches it loves it because of Dave Lamb. Take that sarcastic dry wit and you've got a run-of-the-mill bore on your hands!
