Ah go on, honestly it would make me far more interested if anything!

AceHi

PM me so Birneybau here doesn't find out!

Basq

Very enjoyable first episode to be honest.

Dave came across very well, while Luisa / Louisa came across as a bit of a whingebag!

Loved Dave Lamb's reaction to Dave saying his horse was "a machine" back in the day.

"A MACHINE?!?"

I'd say TV3 have a ratings winner here.. definitely a more enjoyable recreation than 'Take Me Out'.

There's an interview with all the Cork contestants in the current RTE guide and Louisa comes across like such a moanbag.

I dont like that Italian yoke.

She worked in a my local bookies a few years ago, I didn't see the show tonight but heard she was on it, forgot to watch it. It seems she is just as she was years ago in real life :pac:

Tar.Aldarion

love this show, irish one should be funny ;D

Panthro

Kerrrist but I enjoyed tonight's show. Is that Italian job girl actually Italian or is that a massive pile of tripe?
The host for the evening did very well I thought, the woman that works with horses seems like gas craic, can't wait to see the next episode!:D

And did she have an Italian accent back then? Actually, was it more than 3 years ago? She said that she moved here 3 years ago, didn't she?

True apparently.

Does he really. Well, no, he's not. Obviously everyone else here is convinced, which is pretty upsetting, but all I can say is that no, he isn't.

Haha great show,Dave is actually my 1st cousin,thought he came across very well

I'd say she was born in Italy while her Irish parents were on holiday there, or maybe 1 parent is Italian, but thats it! She can't be fully Italian!

Her surname is Costello so at least one of her parents is Irish or Irish descent.

At the beginning of the show the voice over said she was born in Italy. Being born in a stable doesn't make you a horse! :pac:

She said at the table that she only moved here 3 years ago though.

No, she said she moved to Cork 3 years ago!!

I'd say she's talking through her hat :cool:

Edit: oh yeah maybe she only moved to Cork three years ago but has lived in another part of Ireland before then.

Ah right, the way she said it made her sound like she was trying to suggest that she moved from Italy.

In fairness, she's married. So it's probably not her original surname.

Not really, the question that was asked was everyone from Cork, blondie said yeah, the 'entirely straight' checkered shirt dude said he was from Kerry and Louisa said she moved to Cork 3 years ago!

And immediately before that she went on about how far away she is from, and she mentioned that she was from outside Ireland, so the way she was talking she seemed to be suggestion that she was from Italy.

Ok fair enough but I remain unconvinced!

Just trying to make good TV I'd say! We won't fall out over it!;)

Yeah I don't think she's from Italy either but I'm just saying, she's married so it probably explains why her surname is Costello.

philboy

I'm only 8 minutes into watching it online and I have to say. Louisa is the most annoying opinionated person I've seen on CDWM in a long time. She will be some pain in the hole for them all wk I'd say.

I lost. Well done to you sir/madam

Show Time

Roll on tomorrow night.

Mr E

Just watched it. Some priceless comedy in it too ("F**king vegetarians", and Dave Lambs comment about getting some human friends)

Basq

Was odd to hear swearing in a CDWM episode alright!

It's on at 9pm on tv3. Not sure when tonight's episode will be repeated.

ibarelycare

All the episodes will be repeated on Saturday and they'll also be available a few hours after airing on the TV3 website.

Mr E

Saturday pre-watershed = bleeped language.

Sir Oxman

I'm so glad Dave Lamb is doing the voiceover - he's absolutely brilliant!

SouthernBelle

I loved it. Dave was a great host - I wonder did he work in Paddy Garibaldi's 'back in the day'? Hubbie and I think he did. I'd say the older woman will be good craic too. I'm with the rest of ye regarding Louisa - what a moan!

deisemum

I enjoyed it. Louisa is painful. I think Helena will be great craic.

Yep, she's Italian. She grew up in Ireland so she speaks with an Irish accent but her nationaliity and whole family is Italian so I think she is entitled to consider herself Italian. An accent is not a definite indicator of nationality, it's not like her Italian has an Irish accent.

JP Liz V1

The so called "Italian" one has been in Cork a lot longer than 3 years whether it be city or county and she is an awful biatch she better not win

Mr E

Don't hold back, Liz.

Well she used to live in Mullingar so it's not like she's just here three years. I think it's perfectly plausible that her accent would be Irish. If it is the case that she is from an Italian family but grew up here, then it's probable that her English was learned here and therefore in an Irish accent.

Well not on Masterchef Head Chef.

Basq

Don't know gang.. she looks perfectly Italian to me..

1966

Couldn't wait for the Irish show to start and tbh am left feeling underwhelmed by the 1st episode.
Dave looked to me to be a professional - he put together his meal without difficulty and even the way he carried all five plates on his arm to the table

Lousia - as someone else posted nearly looks like a "plant" to stir things up

The "horsey" one is trying tooooooo hard for the cameras with her facial expressions (that she had to refer to)

- the other 2 havn't done or said much yet so will wait and see there.

Her surname is Costello which is an Irish name. So I assume her father is Irish.

You haven't noticed this on the UK version that they have a set number of types to appear on Come Dine With Me. (BTW The only difference here being it was film in Ireland).

Ms. Oppinionated, Mr. Obnotious, Mr. Camp, Mrs. Butch, Mr. Butch, Ms. Girl, Ms. I Am Kinda of a Italiano, Mr & Mrs I let the Cat and Dog walk around my kitchen, Ms. Vegetarian, Ms. I Don't Like any of you etc etc.

BTW Vegetarians if your asking non-vegetarians to taste your Tofu then perhaps you would be polite enough to try some non-vegetarian food. For some reason it is quite expectable for Vegetarians to expect to get vegetarian food handed up to them but not for non-vegetarians to demand that they have meat with their main.

Elmo

Also if you can't find Come Dine With Me Ireland on the TV3 Come Dine With Me site well its because they have a separate page for Come Dine With Me Ireland
