"Come Dine With me?"

Well i wonder which one is more harmful for me? Fast food or a new TV show called "Come Dine With Me"? First one physically damages your health, and the latter kills you slowly, more like a psychological torture, a contemporary way of remote mobbing...

I heard this TV show had high ratings also in USA, France, Germany, UK, Hungary, Denmark and Croatia.

It strengthens my theory about the "World stinks". I was not hopeful about USA or UK actually but it was surprising for me to see high ratings in countries like Croatia and Hungary, of which i always dreamed for being a little far from the madding crowd.

Before i watched this show on the TV and realize how people can be this rude to each other for winning a comptetition of Euro 5ooo at the end, i always believed that Turkey was still a traditional country with relatively more traditional people with regards to its surrounding western countries and civilizations. Well that is quite questionable now. (Our parents always told us hosting guests at home for a dinner requires special attention, kind of a polite ritual where people should show courtesy and modesty to each other!)

5 persons in turn host competitors at their homes and cook for the guests. The guests, from the very first minute, start criticizing the quality of cook and serving, but god! What a nasty, impolite, absurd way of conversations are going on, i can't watch it anymore.

Are those people similar to many around us? The answer is YES!
Did they just show up for this TV show or are they really sincere about how they behave and tell to each other? I am afraid they are "as seen on the TV"

The summary is: "Homo Homini Lupus"
It stinks!



This TV show brought the quality and intellectuality we were missing in our lives. Thanks for the crap world and popular socio-engineers who designed this program. My kid has another good reason for being kept away from the TV again.
