Come Dine With Meanie

You would think that as a contestant on a TV show which base premise is for people to come together and share a meal - you would like to eat food.

As a consistent viewer of Channel 4's Come Dine With Me, (For those who don't know - it's where 5 strangers come together to cook each other a dinner party [entree, main-meal and dessert] and then vote out of 10 after each dinner, the winner with the highest score gets £1000) I can't understand why you would go on the show when you don't like eating new food...

This week Julie, who hates dessert screwed up her face at bread and butter pudding and upside down ginger cake and ended it by putting tarte tatin in her handbag.

Last week, Tanya the Sri Lankan cooking queen turned her vegetarian, tee-totalling nose up at everyone's cooking and despite the fact that everyone pandered to her tastebuds she never once liked one meal she ate.

Who would want any of these mean people at their dinner party?

Other people I would not want at my dinner party:

Simon Cowell (he'd tell me my food was not good enough yet, but that it had potential)
Sarah Palin (only eats American food from America which doesn't leave the country and is from Alaska
George W Bush (If he didn't like my meal he'd announce that I had WMD in my kitchen and declare war)
Dannii Minogue (having her unachieving presence in my dining room would make my food taste bad)
