Advantages: Easy viewing entertainment

Disadvantages: Some annoying contestants

Come dine with me is a cookery programme shown on Channel 4 or More 4. I'ts been o our screens for a couple of years now and has picked up quite a few followers. The show has either 4 or 5 contestants who are all complete strangers at the start of the week and they then each host a dinner party, and the other contestants score them out of 10. The contestant with the highest score from their peers at the end of the week is the winner, and they win £1,000 (on the celebrity version the money goes to charity).

The show has come in a few different formats; the original 5 half hour episodes (with 5 contestants), 1 hour long episode (with 4 contestants), 1 hours long episode (with 4 'celebrity' contestants).

The cooking on the show is really irrelevant, it's more about the personalities of the contestants and how they they interact. Generally the people on the show are fairly entertaining, but what makes the show that little bit more special is the narration from comedian Dave Lamb. He likes to make sarcy comments and make fun of the contestants, and is very funny.

Some contestants get very competitive which makes for better viewing. I like it when someone takes the whole show very seriously, is overly competitive and spends a fortune on ingredients, only to be beaten by someone with microwaved veg and chicken kiev's who has a much better personality and is only doing the show for a laugh.

I know I said the cooking was irrelevant, but there are some recipe ideas to pick up when watching the show too.

Summary: Easy viewing reality dinner party show
