AIBU to want Sophie Dahl as my new best friend?

[helyg]

OK, I know it is all contrived, pretentious telly rubbish, but I still want to be her friend.

In fact, I'll eat all 5 of her spare chocolate cherry pot things, just to show I care.

I will however unfortunately look like an oompa loompa standing next to her...

YABU to want to be friends with someone who will prostitute herself for tv.

She's a simpering idiot. You can follow a recipe, surely?

I haven't seen the TV programme but I am a tiny bit amoureuse. Sophie Dahl is very pretty.

I haven't seen the cookery show but I saw her on Jonathan Ross and she seemed lovely and so pretty. Couldn't face the cookery programme though - in the clips she looked like she was trying too hard to be Nigella, who I find unwatchable.

Ohh no YANBU, in fact I nearly posted this myself last night.
I want her lovely set kitchen and I need to be her best friend. Don't normally fall for this type of stuff either.

you have lesbo crush, admit it

Did anyone else see the clip of her on The One Show last night, as an 8yo? How the hell she grew up to be what she is now is beyond me...

I saw that!! She looked so cute in those humungous glasses!!

Don't know what made me feel like puking more, the unhealthy heart-attack inducing food or Sophie herself, she's very into herself isn't she?

Perhaps it is a little bit of a lesbo crush...

Although having seen the footage of her as a speccy child I live in hope that when I grow up I will look like that too

It was all a bit cutesy, artsy, look at my gorgeous lifestyley. It's been done before with Nigella. Could they not have thought of a new angle. Personally, I would much prefer to see Fay Ripley do a programme. I love her book and use it loads.

Good Lord no, please have her. She is a gurning bug eyed idiot. How she ever became a model is beyond me.

It's not her kitchen it's a stage set, fakey cakey house.

And she's got a wonky eye.

Her kitchen belongs to someone else, btw. It's a real kitchen (unlike Nigella's stage set "house") but is owned by a photographer who is now selling the house:

I quite like it but am amused by the amount of "distressing" that has gone on. Also, the tiles are a bit "Lavatory meets Northern Line".

sophie dahl. cooking programme. model. i'm so fat then i'm so thin. yeah like i have a healthy relationship with food then. who thought up this idea ????

I enjoyed it but why was she playing eyes right with the camera ?

The bit with the close up of her hand massaging the mozzarella ball....Nigella did it first with the plump sausages.

I cannot look at a picture of her with her husband without thinking she's babysitting.

Dh loved the mozzarella massaging

Massaging cheese? Sex sells. Nough said.

yabu. She's an idiot who had to take cookery lessons before she filmed it - see other thread.

And if she has a such a voracious appetite why did Giles Coren describe her as "the only person I've ever seen taking bites out of a grape".

But she is startlingly beautiful, I'll give you that.

Oh I think she is lovely.

Much better than Nigella leering at the camera every five seconds.

It was an hilarious spoof, wasn't it?
So pretentious, all those silly shots of her shopping etc

I'm insanely jealous that she's kept all that weight off she lost for so many years. I wouldn't like her as a best friend because I'd just inwardly always hate her for it, oh and I think Jamie Cullen is a little shit.

I still hope she gets fat again oneday. She's so pretty and nice too. why do people like that have to exist?
