Come bloody dine with me !

[Ste T.]

When this first started it wasnt too bad, and the voice over guys quips are quite hilarious. But now it is relentless. It seems to be going the way of wife swap in finding people totally the opposite of each other to guarantee lots of lovely friction. Mrs T and our two daughters out vote me every time and it feels like it is never off the bloody telly.
Thats me off to the bedroom with a box set of original Star Trek. Beam me up Scotty !

I avoid any of these "reality" shows. They ain't real - just set ups. And if folks show the slightest interest at all it goes on and on and on and revamped carries on and on and on...............................

I used to see it quite often when I was still a student, and it was funny, but I've not seen it for a while - I wouldn't be surprised if it had gone a bit OTT.

I watched some of the early programs, the participants seemd fairly average poeple who were out to enjoy the experience. I've watched a few of the more recent programs and it seems to be full of nasty characters who will do anything to win. For that reason, I'm out.

You can always rely on tv programmers to kick the arse out of any successful format.

I've caught bits of it but have to say I don't find it at all entertaining. Watching our cat eat is more fun.

Imagine the fun of inviting other cats round to dine with yours - a whole new format!


I want royalties if you flog this though!

It's shite.

Think yourself lucky, with the wife and two daughters hogging the handset like it's a gold bar, I've to go through every piece of tv crap on telly from half ton dad, x factor and every other factor, come dine with me, wife swap, cribs and the rest of it. If I dare ask for the handset they all look at me, then look at each other then back to me like I've just announced a spacecraft has landed in the garden. If I get the handset it comes with a proviso that they're watching something in the next five minutes.

Don't worry, there's nothing worth watching on the other channels while all those reality shows are on so you're not missing anything.

Except the TV version would mix in a dog in series 2, a wolf in series 3 and a whole pack of hyenas in series 4, one of whom would be a vegetarian.

Don't forget the cat that thinks its a dog, the dog that has been cosmetically altered to look like a cat etc

Easy to solve.
Borrow the handset, set tv to what you want to watch.
Using sleight of hand remove batteries from handset and replace with a dead set you had concealed previously.
Hand handset back.

Come bloody dancing in our house. Only worth watching for the totty in skimpy outfits.

After thinking it couldn't get any worse , yesterday I saw a programme called Instant Restaurant . Made Come Dine With Me look like The South Bank Show.
