Come Dine with Me Canada (2010) is based on the British television show of the same name, Come Dine with Me (2005). Five strangers, each an amateur chef, compete to host the best dinner party, each party solely for the competitors and to be held on consecutive evenings. Each host submits a menu in advance of the week, the menu to consist of an appetizer, a main course and a dessert. At the end of each party, the guests secretly rate the party on a scale of one to ten inclusive. Each guest can use whatever criteria he/she deems important to rate the party, the quality of the food served, the liking of the food to one's own palate regardless of its quality, the difficulty of the meal preparation, the entertainment provided, and hosting skills among the possible criteria. At the end of the last party, the host of that party gets the voting results, which he/she reads to the other competitors. The competitor with the highest score wins $1,000.
