How to be a contestant on ‘Come dine with me SA’

There are few ts and cs before applying to the dining show.


Popular home dining show Come Dine With Me‘ South Africa part two of season six has returned on DStv.

As it continues to entertain South African audiences, it follows four contestants taking turns to host a dinner party in the comfort of their homes for the other three.  It showcases their cooking skills, the flops, hosting pizzazz and at times highly intense group dynamics that make for good TV. A cash prize is given to the best host.

It is brilliantly and often hilariously commented by Dave Lamb.

In a statement, the show producers said part two of its sixth season is back on our screens on BBC Lifestyle, DStv channel 171 every Wednesdays at 8pm.
