This week we’re in Torbay on the not-so-sunny English Riviera for Come Dine With Me
First to cook is 23 stone street warden, Gavin Dyer, whose overly ambitious menu soon has him sweating… profusely.
Next up, super fastidious housewife, Alison Deare: cleans for at least 3 hours a day, doesn’t like any clutter as it ‘gathers dust’ and is worried about catching warts from the inside of eggs. Somehow in between her mopping and wiping Alison finds time to prepare an Italian-themed dinner for her guests.
Day three of the culinary competition in Torbay is the turn of political activist and bingo enthusiast, David Ward. A few cracks have started to show between the guests and he’ll have his work cut out keeping the peace.
Next comes restoration expert, Patrick Walker, who is keen to show off his palatial house, including ‘the biggest Aga in the village’. Will his classical approach to cooking live up to the setting?
It’s up to final host, Carol, to provide a pleasurable dinner party experience if she wants to try and win that £1000 final prize.
Watch the Torbay chefs in action, weekdays from 15th June, 5:30pm on Channel 4

Never mind the menu, Gavin Dyer has one of the lovliest smiles I have seen in ages, he can cook my dinner any day !
Patrick is a piece of work. What a proper jerk.
Patrick Walker needs his own series. His sly insults (methinks the change of fish was one as well) are truly hilarious. I have not laughed so much in ages, thank you Patrick!
I have to say, I found Patrick to be a breath of fresh air. His flambouant, colourful, full of fun attitude, was great.
Brilliant, Loved this weeks episodes. Every new week i think, aww i liked those people last week, not going to be the same !! How wrong i was, it is hilarious best ever !! Ive recorded it to watch it over and over…….brilliant Show all round.
does carol not have a second name?
great show
I have to agree with Elaine. Gavins smile makes me melt. Enjoyed this weeks show even more just waiting to see Gavin smile!
Who won from torbay?
Graham, glad I’m not the only one, maybe we should set up a Gavin Dyer appreciation society ! (don’t think much of this week’s lot, do you ?)
Elaine
Hey Elaine / Graham,

Al the best,

Hi Gavin, thanks for replying, how are you ? your face was a picture when you realised you had wiped it with the same tea towel as that plate, it really made me laugh. Take care, Elaine x
Hi Elaine,
Looks like nobody else wants to join our group, never mind, I have been watching it again on 4OD. So many bits of it make me laugh, I love the bit where Gavin pushes the poor cat out of the window. Wish I had recorded it. Graham.x
Hugs to Gavin,you’re a real darling! You don’t look funny, you look sweet.x
Hi Graham,
Yep looks like it is just the two of us -
It was very funny when Gavin threw the cat out the window (doubt the cat thought so …)
Nice surprise to get a message off Gavin wasn’t it ?
Have a good week-end, Elaine x
Hey U 2 – i hope u see this!!! Thomas was fab about it – he was just so pissed of he was not alowed to be a bigger part of my day!!! ( he even had fan mail lol).
The tea towl event – well my kitchen was sooooo small and so with the cooker on, 2 2kw lights on and a camara man, and a sound man and the director i was sooooooooooooo hot lol. it was not till i did it the director said opps be carfull lol HA!!
Hi Gavin, just checked on the off chance wonder how long this page will be kept on for ? I bet it was like a hell hole in that kitchen !! are you still watching the programme ? away now til next week take care, Elaine x
I am not sure if this is the place to vent BUT anyway, that WAG who lied and then won should give her winnings to charity! Shame!!!!!
who is your least fave contestant on come dine with me – mine has to be the so called goddess – I love me and hate all others called Claudine!!!
With more and more females on this show it is not about the food and entertaining anymore its just pure bitchiness. I cringe at times, they should be penalised.
does anybody know, where to buy a standing waiter, holding a tray, as seen on series 3 in liverpool, (Terry Whites episode)
Have to agree with you Jivyj1, it is not about food and entertainment anymore, some of the people on the show these days could pass for rejects from the auditions for Big Brother ! (have you seen the way they shovel the food into their mouths) but it is not always the women. Elaine
How hilarious is Patrick ??? So bloody funny….. Anyone got any contact details for him,
Rachael x
