First shown: Mon 24 Oct 2005
Come Dine with Me is a popular UK television series featuring amateur chefs who take turns hosting dinner parties for their fellow contestants. In each episode, four contestants are selected to host a dinner party in their own homes, and they are rated by their guests based on their cooking, presentation, and overall hosting abilities. The contestant with the highest score at the end of the week wins a cash prize, and bragging rights as the ultimate dinner party host.
In Season 2 Episode 6, first shown on Mon 24 Oct 2005, we meet four contestants from the Manchester area who are ready to show off their culinary skills. Our first chef is Linda, a bubbly and outgoing woman who plans to wow her guests with a Caribbean-style feast. She's determined to win the competition, and it shows in the effort she puts into her menu and decor. Linda's guests are impressed by her jerk chicken, plantain chips, and homemade rum punch. However, they also note that the portion sizes were quite small, and they're still hungry by the end of the meal.
Next up is Mark, a former professional footballer who is now pursuing a career in personal training. He chooses a healthy theme for his dinner party, hoping that his guests will appreciate his commitment to fitness. Mark's menu features dishes like grilled sea bass with vegetables, and couscous stuffed peppers. He also impresses his guests with his homemade granola bars, which they declare to be better than any store-bought version. However, Mark's meal receives mixed reviews, with some guests finding the portions to be too small, and others feeling that the food lacked flavor.
Third in line is Mary, a retired schoolteacher who is hoping to impress her guests with a traditional British meal. She prepares a menu of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, followed by apple crumble with custard. Mary's meal is a hit with her guests, who appreciate the comforting flavors and generous portions. They also enjoy Mary's cozy and welcoming home decor, which makes them feel right at home. However, Mary loses points for her lack of entertainment, with some guests feeling that the meal was too quiet and lacked energy.
Last but not least is Gareth, an up-and-coming actor who is eager to showcase his creativity in the kitchen. He prepares a fusion-style meal, mixing Asian and European flavors in his dishes. His menu includes pan-fried duck breast with sesame seeds, and salmon fillets with ginger and lemongrass. Gareth also gets creative with his presentation, using colorful plates and vibrant garnishes to make his dishes stand out. However, Gareth's meal doesn't quite hit the mark with his guests, with some finding the flavors too strong and others feeling that the dishes were overcooked.
As the week progresses, tensions rise and alliances are formed as the contestants jockey for position in the competition. However, in the end, only one can be crowned the winner. Who will come out on top in Season 2 Episode 6 of Come Dine with Me? Tune in to find out!
