Oh that was good. At one point I was watching every Come Dine With Me that they showed. Horrifically addicted, I was. There are so many great episodes. The whole set of episodes with the guy who got smashed on the first night (they kept showing him trying to open a wine bottle which went on the floor) a Tory councillor wannabe called Brian who was plating up something with spray cream on the floor and flirting with Brenda. There was one with a drag queen and a guy who came round with his own mayonnaise. She threw him out of the house for secretly putting it on his plate. And of course, there was the whole Preston set, with the woman who was serving 'pheasaunts', the woman who went to bed early and made someone else cook the meal, with the carpet seller who just flew off the handle at anyone and everyone. Actually a friend of mine, Serena, was on one of them. Everything kicked off at hers on the last night with screaming and recriminations and she burst into tears and went around the house burning sprigs of thyme to try to purify the atmosphere.
It's just such a wonderful source of chaos.
