[Russian]

Dicko

 

[Roobunny]

That's going to be really weird.

Has to be better than Curtis "Mr Pauses After Every Word" Stone though

 

[Shinboners]

I'm just surprised that the Sydney chef/media whores turned down the gig.

 

[benny's buddy]

Shock, horror...what a surprise!

 

[campbell]

I wouldn't have minded that Bill from Lifestyle, the SYndey Chef, cute as a button, and coooks the most wonderful stuff, that acutallly works when you try it yourself.His steak sandwiches and scrambled eggs are mouth watering.

 

[Mattlowry]

What does he know about the restaurant buiness?

Bill Granger would probably be too nice. Come to think of it, most of our chefs would probably be too nice (and if it was Kylie Kwong, we'd have too many soft focus scenes of her looking vaguely into the distance).

What the show needs is someone like Gordon Ramsay (who would make Dicko look like Marcia Hines in comparison) or Anthony Bourdain. It's a shame that Bernard King is dead because he would've been excellent.

I must admit, I love that Gordon Ramsey.

Does Dicko know what a kitchen is??????

[choc_a_holic]

Yay GO DICKO!

 

[Karbassiyoon]

sad to think that the show is going to have more hosts than viewers

 

[hotpie]

Eating.

Worst kept secret of 2004.

Good luck to Dicko, he'll need it. From what I heard this show only became popular towards the end of the show this season, so it will be interesting to see if they can make it interesting from the outset.

He'll be missed on Australian Idol, though - big time.

the worst kept secret of 2004 was that the big brother "secret" would be crap and not enhance the show in any way shape or form

All that early stuff showing them competing for the money and then having to find a location, get the permits, do the fitouts, hire staff etc. etc. went on for too long. They have to try and condense it.

But in the end, no matter how they rejig the show, I doubt that it'll get good ratings. I suspect that it'll be like the Block 2 where the ratings were a shadow of the first series.

He'll be missed on Australian Idol, though - big time.

I pity the person who has to follow Dicko - he'll be a bloody hard act to follow. Will they try and be themselves or will they try to be Dicko ver 2.0?
