I know this is a long shot as it was approx 2-3 years ago but im hoping it has stuck in someone else memory aswell as mine.

A while ago there was a lady on it who had no table whatsoever and had to literally borrow everything from her neighbour's, the guests were all sat around the table on different height chairs, she cooked those little chickens for the main course and burnt them (i think). All i specifically remember is for dessert she served 2 scoops of ice cream and a few maltesers on the top and was pleased as punch with herself!

I was just eating maltesers in work now and telling someone about it and thought id try to find it if anyone remembers, it was one of those classic episodes though! just cant remember where they were all from, all their faces were a picture when she wheeled out the desserts!

I watched a re-run last night of semi naked man who laid on table. The guests were served sushi from his hairy belly. Why for the love of god would anyone think that was acceptable.

My dh was accepted to appear on CDWM. He didn't do it in the end because filming clashed with our holiday. He is going to re-apply. I think he will be fab.

We watched one from Hull the other day, and I'm pretty certain he used to be married to one of my schoolfriends. DH and I were both certain it was him, but bearing in mind the wedding we went to was about 20 years ago ......?!

They were only married for three months. The wedding was the most excruciating occasion I've ever been to, so no-one was very surprised.

I love CDWM but I must say I'm getting a bit weary of all the hyper-aggressive contestants nowadays bragging about how competitive they are, how they can't bear losing at anything, how their food will be the best because they're so obviously superior to everyone else....then they turn out to be the sort of twunts who whip up eggwhites with a fork in a plastic measuring-jug, drop everything on the floor, forget vital ingredients and generally cock it all up.

I know there's always been an element of boasting but it seems almost compulsory these days - I'm sure it used to be a bit more good-humoured. And they almost never snoop round the houses any more!

Vera? Her dog farted much to the disgust of stuck up Pippa who waved her serviette around?! Vera was a school cook, if I remember rightly. Also that Pippa wouldn't let Vera into her home cos she was early and made her wait outside until it was time. Pippa had a huge naked picture of herself on her living room wall. I don't know why I remember all that!

I remember the woman who deliberately under-marked her fellow contestants (3s & 4s), they made her remark everyone on the last night!

I love CDWM, I have 32 eppisodes to catch up on on sky+.

My favourite has already been mentioned, Old El paso drunk women who fell asleep on her bed & let her guests cook the dinner! She had to be woken up & came down stairs in her sunglasses bouncing off the walls Grin

I also liked the one where the women had all her food delivered through her kitchen window by staff from Smiths in Ongar! Fantastic food but what a cheeky mare!!

CDWM is addictive. It doesn't matter how many times I've seen an episode if I flick onto it while it's on it ends up staying on.

Loved loved loved the Vera episode and was Shock at the other contestant who made her wait on the doorstep as she wasn't ready. That was one of my favourite episodes too.

I also remember the one where that awful woman underscored everyone. "I thought the main course was ok so I'll give that a 1, but I didn't like the starter or dessert so my total score is 1" etc etc.

I liked the episode set in Liverpool where a local radio dj thought he was a huge celeb and had Jimmy Corkhill from the Brookside serving the main course. He really thought everyone would and should be start-struck, then one of the other guests announced she'd dined with Bill Clinton and met the Queen several times Grin

I remember a WAG buying her meal from Selfridges in Birmingham and passing off Covent Garden soup as her own. Seemed like a great night though.

I think they should do the same as Four Weddings US where the weddings are ranked also, rather than just marked so there is less strategy involved.

My fave episode ever was the tight Scottish fella who served up pigs trotters with the knuckle still on and hairs on them. He thought he was great as they had cost 35p each - like that was the point!

The other guests had a complete melt down and were laughing so much at him they could hardly speak.

busters I remember that coulis Grin

My favourite was Gerard the butcher but that was because he was rather yummy himself hehe!

Also the woman who took the hot sauce everywhere. Rude!

MyCatHasStaff · 12/08/2011 10:27

this is vera

must read the whole thread Blush

Dave 'deadpan' Lamb has to be the star of the show. His commentary cracks me up. I remember the woman who underscored someone because his meal was 'too perfect!' Did she have to remark too? Surely that's cheating!

Fuzzywuzzywozabear · 25/08/2011 10:05

One of my faves was the woman who "went to the toilet" during dessert but walked out and went home! Bizarre!

Jude89 · 25/08/2011 19:52

no, its all about that bimbo who served Sausage Trifle
