Come Dine With Me

International "game show" format, originally produced by Channel 4 in the United Kingdom, 2005 to present.

The concept is simple: Five (four in primetime) contestants take turns hosting a dinner party at their houses (you don't have to cook the food; but it's generally the done thing). The four/three other contestants mark it secretly on a scale of 1 of 10. The contestant with the highest score wins £1,000.

As with an omelette, great things can come out of a simple idea. You get arguments, bad food ideas and all the eccentricities of this world. Season with a fine dressing of snark from Narrator Dave Lamb, and you have a superb meal for four.
