Fancy watching people attempt to get off with each other via average cooking, awkward chat and terrible puns?
Step this way…
Do you like food?
Do you also like watching people failing to bond over food?
ThenDinner Dateis the show is for you.
Whats not to love?
Imagine being those guys.
Usually, the contestant will choose the food they like, which is sane enough.
Nine times out of ten, the dates videos will show them exercising in a gym.
Do you see what I mean about the menus?
However, the cooking bit does sometimes give us an insight into some of the more unusual contestants psyches.
For example, here we have Matt discussing his peppers/traffic lights theory.
I wish I was making this up.
Next its time for the dates!
If youre interested, heres how traffic light mans date is going.
Theyre brilliant to watch if, like me, youre nosy but arent that keen on people.
Typical date conversations include the following:
If you were a tree, which tree would you be?
I go to the gym every day.
Do you go to the gym every day?
Whats your favourite colour?
My favourite colour is beige.
Hello how are you.
There are a few exceptions to this formula.
Sometimes a particularly wacky individual will organise a fun activity for their date.
This might be karaoke or hula-hooping, but probably not stuff like helping to re-grout their bathroom.
They save that for the second date.
If I was doing this show, Id give people the option to rate each other out of 1000.
This is the part where you should pay attention.
I dont care how light and fluffy the meringues were.
Lets face it withDinner Datethe food is kind of irrelevant.
Thats probably not allowed during the day.
A lot of the time they look quite relieved at this.
The show finishes with an update on everyone who took part.
But having a lot of food within reach is important, like it is when watching any cooking show.
