Talk:Come Dine with Me

message: "It is clearly the greatest tv show ever" strikes me as the sort of comment that Wikipedia would normally stomp down on, but as it is so self-evidently true I think we should let it stand. -- richiau  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.194.32.52 (talk) 10:16, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It does seem a little one sided but I think it should stand as it is after all the greatest programme ever made.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.52.5.10 (talk) 14:38, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Obviously no Wikipedia article should say anything is the greatest, as it is not neutral. Jim Michael (talk) 15:37, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This should probably be changed though as this is in violation of the neutrality of Wikipedia. Discuss or Change Please

thread_title: Greatest?

message: "The fourth series is due to begin in Spring 2008, and is currently in production. It will be moved from its regular daytime slot, to a primetime slot of 8pm due to poor viewers of the second part of Series 3 (with only 3 episodes) reached a high of 1.3 million viewers, where the first part of Series 3 (with 9 episodes) reached a high of  8 million viewers."
This claim is clearly not true as the programme averaged between 1.6 and 1.9 million viewers in both 2006 and 2007, with a peak of 3.4 million on January 3, 2007 during week 9. --  Smeknamn (talk) 17:39, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know what the rules are for the show?  I've seen contestants prepare the dessert in advance, but nothing else, so is there a limit on what can be done before the day?  Given the chance I'd expect most people to do as much as possible before the day, but it would make sense that the producer would want most of the cooking to take place when the cameras are there.  In one episode, the "cook" had all the food delivered from a nearby restaurant, and succesfully passed it off as her own, so there's no problem with that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Standoor (talk • contribs) 22:08, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

I've just watched a Sunday Omnibus on More 4 and the five people were from Kent, and it was a tie between a Sri Lanakan woman named Tanya/Tania and this guy I can't remember the name of. I can't spot them on the list and I have a feeling this needs updating a fair bit. 84.70.149.142 (talk) 16:41, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we should reformat the article according to what the official site says.. but it puts some ones out of order. For example, Bristol is included in Series 3 in this article, but as Series 2 on the website... »—Mikay—talk—contribs→ 18:46, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

text: According to the website, we are currently on Series 9 - however, the latest episode is listed in Series 7. Is there a reason for this? I have no knowledge of the article, so I don't want mess it up. User:Bilky_asko ☞ Talk Pagé 17:57, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

message: anyone got any idea why Tara Mulholland (Series 24) links to Le Chat Noir (band)? That band's article states that there's only two of them, and they're called Eileen and Teddy. tomasz. 10:27, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

message: There are some series that have only one episode. That's hardly what I'd call a series. There are technically 18 series of Come Dine with Me, not 26. Boushenheiser (talk) 19:12, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: That's as maybe, but we need to keep in line with Channel 4's series numbering system for it to make any sense at all, and that is what Channel 4 have decided to set the series numbers as. I have worked hard trying to insert the missing episodes throughout the year as they have been scheduled when I spotted they were not here. The Channel 4 website has often been the only source in the world of the episode details. If the series numbers here were wrong it would make that task impossible.

message: Is there really a need to list every single contestant ever? Kudos to whoever has done it, though. Spikymoss (talk) 11:15, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: There probably isn't and if it hadn't have been done I would say it is a waste of time but it shouldn't be taken away, partly so that whoever did it isn't seriously discouraged to make big edits or even edits at all. Wetter88 (talk) 16:13, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

text: It has to be said that it's probably not very accurate, either. While it's mildly amusing to find my name in an article on Wikipedia, the entry on this page which contains it has three errors. I'm reluctant to correct them myself, since that probably amounts to primary research, but if that's representative of the overall standard then there are probably plenty more errors elsewhere.

thread_title:  Information overload? 

message: If it is necessary to list the names of the people taking part in the show, then it would have been more useful to highlight the names of those who won each episode. At the moment it is just a list of names, since most of them are unknown (except those from the celebrity episodes), they don't mean a lot really. Hzh (talk) 11:24, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Good Point: Who knows who won each week. If some single person knows them all update the article otherwise just list them in this section Wetter88 (talk) 16:17, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Winners 

message: I've seen some earlier episode, and Now I'm seeing the later shows, probably 2013/2014. And the later seems highly scripted, with fake conflicts, that seems unbelievable, like Hollywood/ American reality shows which are really over the top and very unbelievable. I guess its to sell the show to a American / International audience?.Starbwoy (talk) 15:51, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

message: The episode guide takes up quite a lot of space in the article - would it be a good idea to split this into its own dedicated article, perhaps titled List of Come Dine with Me episodes in a similar vain to something like List of The Last Leg episodes. --PhilipB (talk) 15:09, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

message: Currently watching what appears to be a German version of CDWM The Professionals on the channel Kabel Eins, entitled Mein Lokal, Dein Lokal - Der Profi kommt, the last three words appearing to be a suffix, which suggests there's also a German CDWM itself called Mein Lokal, Dein Lokal. Certainly it seems a lot like the UK one. Yet no mention of this in the International Versions section so maybe needs updating? 88.255.101.99 (talk) 15:14, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
