Come Dine With Me Ireland (Week 5 - Galway)

Melion

Starting tomorrow night. Im expecting the New Zealander to steal the show, not sure if i can say his name.

Mod Note: This weeks winner seems to be public knowledge for some reason - anyone who names the winner (or even hints at the winner) before 9:30pm on Friday gets a 2 week holiday from the TV forums.

Peter isn't that much of a deep thinker if his response to the dog outfits is 'whatever'...

Heroditas

That guy is supposed to be a comedian?

"Why don't you get your tuts* out?"

Don't think the starter was bloody enough for Lisa:)

That turkey looks rank

Those potatoes look like the most appetising thing and that says a lot...

Valentina

Heroditas

df1985

Enjoyed the show, the contestants seem decent enough.

I was told the name of the winner of the weekend which spoilt it for me but sure we an just enjoy the fun and antics

Just checked 9pm next week, and TV3 are back to showing sh1te tabloid documentaries.

df1985

did they film anymore or is that it? suppose 5 weeks is 25 episodes to be fair, lot of production behind it. I want a louth/cavan episode so badly though.....

Mr E

6 weeks were filmed as far as I know.
The last week will be from Dublin.

Correct there Mr.E, as far as i know there is one more Dublin one to go...

chloek

Galway looks promising, how come the winner is known, I don't know who the winner is.
I think Lisa will get annoying during the week.
deep fried turkey, first time I seen that.

Which turkey

Tabnabs

I feel really bad for Waterford when you compare the people over these two weeks. There was more entertainment in last nights episode than the entire week in Waterford.

Degag

Couldn't stop laughing when Danny threw that plate of whipped cream in yer mans face. I must have rewound it 10 times. It must have been staged surely!

1966

What struck me about last night was the turkey cooking.
Don't think i've ever seen such dangerous cooking...........crazy.

Heston Bluementhal did it on one of his programmed but iirc they were totally kitted out in fireproof gear and had several fire extinguishers at the ready. And your man did it under a canvas awning too didn't he?

The Big Red Button

Just watching last night's episode now ... Bruce is so cute at the end! "I can't deal with the turkey right now ... I'm going to find somewhere else to live!"

The other contestants seem pretty boring so far. Except maybe the psychotherapist, he could be interesting!

hondasam

I only just realised I know eugene the Irish dancer.
Galway is good so far, don't know who won it.
The turkey looked awful.
Lisa and mary will get stroppy.

I don't feel so bad that I missed the Waterford ones so

Wolflikeme

Mary was talkin' some bollox tonight!!

Where do I even start!?!......

Namlub

That entire French thing was such pretentious bullshit, 'la maison a fait paté' means 'the house made paté', not 'homemade paté' :rolleyes:

Valentina

Mary with this pseudo French menu you are really spoiling us. :rolleyes:

AnnyHallsal

The affectation was a little bit embarrassing. Why?

Fair enough if twas just a bit of craic (which it might have been) but to adopt airs and graces and serve up little more than slop ... eh.

WindSock

I quite enjoyed the French translations.

Fluorescence

A pretty funny episode, I enjoyed it . Anyone else think Dave Lamb was extra sarky today though?

vitani

Lamb really had it in for Mary! Hilarious.

I think my favourite voiceover moment was him shrieking 'Oh look! It has shrunk!' when she lifted the beef out.

bijapos

I think this weeks crew are a nice crowd but they haven't been properly casted. There are no controversial charachters so there is no friction to spice things up a bit. I think CDWM usually needs someone like the "Italian Veggie" from Cork or the "Upper Class" woman from Waterford to give it a bit of an edge.

The psychotherapist guy with his "did you notice anything about me" thing was just very meh I thought.

Thought last night was funny with the translations. I usually struggle a bit to read any french menu but when I saw last nights I knew it was a mess. I sent a link to the show to a French friend of mine who hadn't a clue what some of the dishes were, save for the fact that they contained beef or pate.

If you go to YouTube, its very popular in the south states in America, but it is very dangerous, houses go on fire every year because of the oil buckets falling over. It seems to be an American thing, everything fried. The Turkey looked fine and it only took a third of the time to cook and I suppose for the show it was a novel way of cooking it.

Is the comedian fella, Danny, also in Corrie? aka Eddie Windass?
