Anyone tempted to apply for the Irish Come Dine with Me?

Reckon there'll be a lot of drink involved in all the episodes....

I did apply for it ---- Now I'm Shi**ing myself incase I actually get picked! I am addicted to that show, really love it and I'm not bad in the kitchen although I have been known to have an off day and absolutely everything go wrong.

As regards the drink - I agree with you it may be a generalistation but I do think the Irish have a different attitude to drink than the British and therfore chances are there'd be a lot more drunkeness to be expected. Sure I know myself I'd be getting rightly stuck into the sauce if I was anyway nervous and as I have said already - if I did get picked I'd be extremely nervous!!!

Ahhhh - What have I done!

For a second there I misread it and thought you were inviting me for dinner.. Which wouldnt have been surprising with the way you have been outrageously flirting with me on the LLS thread recently..

I'd be very reluctant to go on any of those reality shows.. They edit it to suit themselves, not to give a fair impression of the guests... When does it kick off?

You'd want to be some posh knob to apply for that. Being gay probably helps, too.

The cheek! I haven't even been around for the lls for a while lately so I think you must have me mixed up with someone else

Not sure, I was watching the omnibus on tv3 this afternoon and at it each break they were advertising how to apply etc.

Seabre - have you just completed application form or gone through any other type of audition process etc? I hope you get picked

I think that someone would end up getting stabbed in the eye with a fork, and the Guards would arrive just in time for dessert.

Yes - Amdub - I put my details into I think it was TV3 website and they emailed me back a form which I completed and sent off.

Have had no word back and that was about 2 weeks ago - so maybe they've dismissed it or lost it - I hope / I pray!!!

But seriously I don't know what I'd do if they called and said they wanted me to audition - Its the sort of thing I'd love to have the nerve to do but just don't know if I'd have the guts to go through with it!

Its not always Snazzy Upper class dishes - infact more often not! Personally if I were to go on it I'd love to cook something fairly ordinary - just do it very well!

Seabre, snubbed by TV3 Would you reckon they thought you were too mad or not mad enough?

What are the conditions when you go in to something like that? Do you have any control over the editing? Do you get paid?

I Know snubbed befor ethey even met me - my personality not even appealing whilst not in person!!!

They don't pay you apart form the prize obviously - but there's a lot of disclaimer type appendices about tv3 copyright etc etc - actually think it was ITV.

I'd say my prob was I was prob too middle of the road they go for extreme types ie v dull or v eccentric - I suppose I ca take comfort in my normality!
