I haven't seen anything on tv that I really enjoy, so my contributions to tv.com has been limited to the odd message on threads, sometimes derisory but mostly boring. I've discovered I'm out of the doldrums of level 10, I'm not a trusted user & due to some of my output probably never will be. But a red shirted lieutenant will do for now.

Week 5s team are from Belfast & like the previous teams they look like a motley bunch, well these reality shows wouldn't be much without conflicting contestants for entertainment value. First host was Rosemary, a doctors wife & slimming queen, who's reformed dietary intake reflected her menu with it's supermarket brand style descriptions like good-for-you & sin-free. Her starter Frozen Salad, so called because it contained frozen peas garnished with turkey rashers, sounded disgusting. But her pork & mash main course was alright considering she served it using a hostess trolley, just the thing for cremating those cooked vegetables. Hostess trolleys aside Rosemary had a sense of humour to melt the ice & show herself to be a great hostess. Marty, this episodes most cynical entrant, is the next host. I wonder if he'll surprise us?

Just been watching "Come dine with me"  on C4 and I'm convinced professional clown/dessertphobe Julia could be BB7 Nikki's birth mother, as all she does is whinge & pull faces whenever she has to eat anything she thinks she won't like. The next team will come from Belfast , as a I was born in Fermanagh I will definitely be tuning in to this offering.

Take care all
