Come Dine With Me Ireland (Week 1 - Cork)

That's what Luisa gets for complaining, i would hate to cook for her, i wouldnt even give her the scraps off the table.

"Only God Can Judge Me" - a quote by Tupac on one of the Sugababes that she took the idea from? What a gammy looking thing. Not to mention all the effing stars on her back. Some of the smaller ones didn't even look symmetrical?? :eek: I'd like to know what tattoo artist did such hammy, heavy handed work!

Anyway, kinda surprised Jamie did so poorly tonight. It looked like his food was best of the lot so far, but obviously not everyone agreed. Shame. I was shocked by how low Luisa scored him, but I suppose when all you get for starters is soggy asparagus, and for a main and dessert food you don't like, then it's not terribly unfair. A tad underhanded though, if she's just trying to mark him down so her own position is stronger?

I also hate Helena as much as Luisa now - she clearly hasn't a clue about vegetarianism at all, and no real wish to inform herself. Very condescending and rude.

Luisa really hasn't done herself any favours with her behaviour this week bad editing or no bad editing but Helena is really getting on my nerves. I love my meat myself, in fact I'm a pure carnivore but to not even make an attempt to open her mind to new horizons was just pure ignornant and narrow minded. I almost feel sorry for Luisa now!

And the award for the most clicéd tattoo design goes to..

Her tattoo's a bit ironic considering what show she chose to take part in :pac:

Jaime surprised me tonight with his menu it was quite good but why the hell did he keep mentioning that Dave might eat extra :mad:

Harry Angstrom

I wouldn't be surprised if the programme makers egged Helena on to talk about vegetarianism with Luisa. To be honest, whenever I watch CDWM I love to see them at each other's throats and the programme makers probably know that that's what a lot of viewers want to see. Sometimes the dialogue looks so forced, you just know they're being put up to it to try to make some sparks fly.

So am I the only one not that bothered by Louisa? Could you imagine the boredom if she wasn't there? Plus, compared to many past Brit contestants, she's grand. Bit up her own arse, but she's really not that bad?

I must say CDWM Ireland is very good, It had me in stitches so many times. Jamie, Helena and Dave are gas. Just shows the Irish can have the craic. I'm like Jamie with all the check shirts...but I wear them because it doesnt make me look so skinny hehe. Hats off to tv3!

Luisa was complaining about the editing etc. yesterday, but I caught up on Wednesdays and watched last nights and she is coming across worse and worse. No editing can make her say the things she does. She just comes across as being so in love with herself, and very hypocritical. I thought she should have attempted meaty main courses on her night, considering everyone else catered especially for her.

Helena gets to me too, particularly how she is so ignorant towards the vegetarian thing. She was also quite sexist towards the lads. She just seems very wound up in herself and not open to anything else.

Jamie seems like a nice enough guy but nothing really stands out with him, apart from his shirts!

Vicki and Big Dave come across great, they both seem like decent people who are up for a bit of craic.

Enjoying the show so far!

I also think Luisa is a plant, as she doesnt really seen to understand whether she is vegetarian or vegan and she also admitted to having sausages the odd time, which would be totally taboo for vegetarians, especially strict ones like herself, altho she seems to be unsure of whats strict. and for an italian vegetarian not to be able to pronounce oregano.

Anyone know where its on next week? Is it Dublin?

Saying it once was fine but saying again was too much imo

Helena and Luisa arent exactly on the skinny side either

Oooh I think I know that Eimhear O'Dalaigh! She's a WeightWatchers leader, I went to a couple of her meetings ages ago ... seems to be a lovely girl, little bit mental (but in a good way!) She's got a Boards account ... could be interesting! :pac:

Yeah, I agree. I had no opinion of Jamie before last night but I thought he was a right pr*ck for commenting repeatedly on Dave's food intake. Dave's awesome! Jamie, not so much at all.

I think the recording of Jamie at the start of every episode saying "GO Jamie" in the campest accent ever would be a hit on Youtube..


go Jamie..

EDIT:

Here.. at 0:09..

Ah guys I don't think Jamie meant it in a nasty way that Dave might eat more. He had eaten with him for the previous 3 nights and, as a bigger man, it's very likely that Dave just has a larger appetite than the rest of them and Jamie would have noticed that.

It's not unusual on CDWM for people to give bigger portions to the guests that have bigger appetites...it's all about being a good, attentive host after all!

Vikki has here own website seemingly and she seems to be a presenter.

She always seems to give presents (besides wine) to the hosts I wonder what they are

They're bracelets from her jewellery line. I think Dave got a gift of jams, not 100% on it.

Did anyone get the feeling that Luisa suggested that dinner party game where people wrote something about themselves on a piece of paper just so she could boast that she sang for presidents and prime ministers?

He could have just given him the larger portion besides commenting on it

Probably. The bit I was baffled with was her saying "I won't be asking people to dress up for my dinner party" (having complained on previous nights). She then goes on to forcing people in to very bizarre outfits.

But I don't see the problem in commenting on it. It's hardly like he said "dave's a fat bastard!"

In fairness to check shirt guy I think he just meant that David likes food.
Not that I think he's fat or anything... Better stop right now.
