Why was Tracey allowed to win this week when it was obvious that her game plan was to give low marks to the others and to complain about everything. Her food, comprising mainly cupcakes, was rubbish and giving scores of 2, 4, 4 and 5 ensured she would win. The producers need to stop this type of game plan as it spoils the show.

i hated her. miserable whinging c@w.
Why did she talk like that? There's no way she should have won.
What about that pudding the vain guy did?!! He really thought it was going to win.
I love Come Dine With Me!

[Everhelpful]

Couldn't agree more.

I do get cross when people vote all the other contestants low and then win. It will make people switch off if it keeps happening. Normally they make them up their scores, but in this case they didn't, perhaps they thought they were all about the same anyway.

[gina32]

it seems that more and more people are voting tactically, maybe a sign that people will do anything for money

[gina32]

and how miserable did she look when she won? youd have thought she had lost

[waiglet]

I remember in an older episode someone was made to rescore or be disqualified. Should have happened her.

[Supermike]

Thanks all. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the scoring should be monitored and adjusted where necessary. I remember that one where the girl said she was deliberately scoring low to win the competion and they made her increase her scores. The only difference here is Tracey (what a way to spell it) didn't admit it. It was obvious,though, when she gave the bodybuilder 2 points because he was a professional chef. He worked in a chip shop, some chef!

[looobylooo]

she was a right moany dreary ol moo wasnt she ...

maybe she thought she'd rake up a bit of business by showing off her cup cake bonanza on tv ...

On another forum Tracey is called Pig in a Wig.

Cruel, but true.

I watched a "whose got the best house" the other day which is similar where 4 people visit each others houses and give them a score.

One stupid bloke critisized all the others houses, even when they were better than his, and gave the other three houses low scores - 3, 3 and 2

I was really glad when he did not win.

He was such an arrogant Snag who had two Porches on his drive and had a sign on the front of his house "Only Porches can park here".

I rarely get angry with these type of shows but I would love to find out where he lives and send him a note about what a stupid git he was.

[hc4361]

I've never heard of that programme, VHG. Have you got a link?

[looobylooo]

its on of a lunch time in the week hc, itv 2pm for an hour - its quite good

[hc4361]

Oh! It's called May the Best House Win. Dunno how I've missed that.

[mccfluff]

she shouldn't of won, she was a right moany cow, the latvian girl would of had it i reckon, if it hadn;t been for her

the choux bun swans made me crack up though, that really looked like a primary school effort

[crisgal]

VHG - that big-headed tvvat was on come dine with me a couple of years ago. A hairdresser with an ego as big as the moon.
He was showing off his porsche chopping knife.
I had hoped watching him make a d1ck of himself on it, would have made him change his ways.
obviously he is just desperate to be on telly.
moron.

Happens all the time, they're chosen to include variations of a snob, a yob and a cheat. Simple solution, discard the lowest mark and replace it with the mean of the others.

[Supermike]

Good idea cc1, that would stop a lot of the cheats and produce a more fair result?

[Supermike]

Sorry, pressed the wrong key and the sentence should have finished with a full stop, not a question mark!

[VHG]

Yes, I got the name wrong.

It is "May the Best House Win".

Here it is on ITV player, loads of episodes

C4 could easily make CDWM a fair, balanced programme about cooking, with normal, average people who actually can cook and enjoy food.

But who the hell would watch it?
