Come Dine with Me

This is not an invitation to come over for Thanksgiving. This is about the British show "Come Dine with Me". While in Europe a few months ago we became hooked on the show. The premise is that 4-5 strangers host dinner parties for each other on consecutive nights. At the end of each night they score the host on a 1-10 scale. The highest scoring host wins 1,000 pounds.

I'm posting this particular episode because it features the wife of American Eric Lichaj, defender for Nottingham Forest. She is the host for this particular episode. What makes it even more interesting is that two of the guests are fans of arch rival Derby. One fan had been a typical Brit with a stiff upper lip who's greatest show of emotion in prior episodes was a single raised eyebrow. When she found out she was in the home of a Nottingham Forest player, well she fell to pieces.

If you want to see the prior two episodes for this dinner grouping you can check out the Monday and Tuesday shows. Here is the one with Mrs. Lichaj:

 

Thanks for posting Micah, great idea for a show (food network, this means you). Not gong to lie, that cardboard cutout was the most I've seen of Lichaj since he played at Villa.
