chubacka Posted November 7, 2009 Funniest show on tv. Sooo interesting to see the different personalities, the perfectionists, the show offs, the snobs, the male chauvinists, the i-cnt-cook-a-thing-but-i-wouldn't-mind-being-on-tv types. Dnt think its outside of the UK, mite be exported in the future, in a nutshell 4 strangers take turns to cook for eachother each episode and vote for eachother's efforts in secret, the winner wins £1000. Competition brings out interesting side of ppl. Never fails to make me laugh. Anyone else a fan?

5 Posted November 7, 2009 A FAN? A FAN?? I WANNA BE ON IT! I would make TEH BESTEST FOOD EVAH & claim the prize!! Seriously, I love that show That, Family Guy & Gossip Girl are the only TV shows I watch (online). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAXIMUS POWERS Posted November 8, 2009 Certainly one of the best TV shows on these days. A big Fan indeed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chubacka Posted November 8, 2009 GG, i can imagine what you would be like on the show already!haha. always thought it would be interesting to do this with friends and family and see who pushes the boat out and who serves oven chips. Marcus, have you tried out any of the recipes? *imgines Marx with apron, shades and churchill picture on kitchen wall seperating egg whites* The family on c4 also looks interesting this year.

MAXIMUS POWERS Posted November 8, 2009 ^^ I will have you know I am a very competent cook. despite having over half a dozen siblings, I am usually the one who cooks. I hate when woman think cooking is exclusively for women. uff! everyone knows that the best chiefs are men. imagine if there was come dine with me SOL version. Imagine getting these people together: TAMMY *Winner* AT&T JUXA COWKE IBZ Screams disaster. or MAXIMUS CHUBACKA LZG NG Val *special recipe - kangaroo meat. uff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chubacka Posted November 8, 2009 haha@ competant cook. do you have any specialities? (not including toast, beans, cornflakes or chips) there might be plenty of prof male chefs but reality is so many men dnt know how to turn the blooming cooker on and dnt see any need to learn. Anyway if i was on that show, my tactics would be to be eveyone's best friend, rate them all average 5/6/7 (nothing suspiciouly low) and pracise my dishes like mad before my evening. *Not that I am competitive* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5 Posted November 8, 2009 Chubacka lol! I would be known as the ADHD girl who won the competition. Seriously though, my tactic would be to spend around 300-350 pounds - this is easy, because I would look at it as an investment. I would serve GG cuisine which would be a fusion of Somali & French cuisine. For starters I would... wait, I'm not going to give away my winning menu! The house needs to be perfect too. It needs to look beautiful but not too beautiful, so that people won't feel threatened and vote you out. The trick is to give these strangers their best night; to momentarily make them so relaxed and satisfied that they forget it's a competition. Obviously, I've thought about Come Dine with Me. To be completely 100% serious, I do want to enter. But not now when I'm a just starving student. Hopefully it is still running in a couple of year's time!

chubacka Posted November 10, 2009 ^ You know they get about £400 to spend on shopping so it will def be in investment. btw have you seen the one with the snake? http://www.channel4.com/programmes/come-dine-with-me/4od#3008262 OMG! stitches.com hahaha. even the narrator is, as JB would say ahem....

Faheema. Posted November 10, 2009 I usually try and catch the omnibus edition...mostly because of the hilarious narration, he's spot-on with his witty observations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted November 10, 2009 So if I hold a SOL Female Come dine with me for charity, you guys will feed me and give the money to charity? << I am serious about this- we'll get people to sponsor you and contribute the money, each one will try to win the money for a specific project back home. I will be the narrator Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juxa Posted November 10, 2009 lool^^ the narrator is the best bit of the show actually i am fan of it. it brings best and worst of people MARX, i am an excellent cook, i could easily beat you. ibti great idea, i am naturally competitive and probably would sabotage your evenings ps: instead of the alcohol, maybe somalis will serve jaad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted November 10, 2009 ^^^I don't care for the evening or the food- You know I eat anything (CLEAN, cooked and sweet) I just want the money. So All those up for it make yourself known. Sorry boys maybe you can have a men’s version- I know two of the SOL men can cook Ramsey out the Kitchen. Loool @ Jaad, no lady nothing frisky- fizzy drinks gets Somalis high! On second thoughs- they guys probably would if Ngonge has anything to do with it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
