Facebook Page “Rate My Gurn” To Get Own Come Dine With Me Style TV Show
Popular Facebook fanpage, Rate My Gurn, which posts memes and pictures of young people in varying states of drugged inebriation performing the involuntarily jaw clenching known as ‘gurning’, is set to receive its own ITV show.
The premise of the show is similar to that of popular cookery program, Come Dine With Me, which sees amateur cooks compete against each other by hosting a dinner party in their respective homes with points awarded on the quality of the meal and entertainment.
“The show is extremely popular,” confided ITV spokesperson Shane Less, “and we think we can apply the same dinner party hosting format to the young clubbing community that will be both fun and entertaining while appealing to a wide demographic of young dance music fans.”
Each week four contestants will compete against each other to throw the best party with the winner of the party being judged on who made their guests “gurn the hardest”.
Rate My Gurn released a statement today expressing their excitement and delight at taking “the miracle of gurning” to the screen and predict that it will be a massive hit on the late night pre-clubbing slot of 11pm that it is scheduled for.
“It’s the show that clubbers have been inadvertently making in their own homes for years,” claimed Rate My Gurn spokesman, Nathan Stanley. “All we’re doing is throwing cameras in people’s faces and hoping they hilariously dislocate their drool drenched jaws.”
According to Nathan the pilot episode has already been filmed and ITV have commissioned a further twelve to be broadcast in the summer schedule.
“The pilot sets the bar that all the other episodes will have to rise to,” continued Nathan describing how some of the menus that guests prepared contained a host of gurn inducing narcotics like ecstasy, mephedrome, ketamine and LSD. “Mostly it was mandy, ket and normal eccies, but coupled with the copious amounts of booze and novel ways of ingesting them, it made for some gurn-tastic TV.”
“All the gurns have to naturally induced through the drugs, no-one is allowed to fake a gurn without consuming drugs first. Some of the gurns we captured are the best you’re ever likely to see,” added Nathan. “It was like half-blinded Adrian Chiles chewing unsuccessfully on a wasp.”
Nathan claimed that some of the highlights of the pilot include a “henchly-built” Scouser offering his guests a plate of ecstasy crushed with meow-meow whose post-drug entertainment featured a high tempo aerobics DVD soundtracked by Eric Prydz. “They were all rushing like mad off it,” explained an excited Nathan. “One guy almost dislocated his jaw, but thankfully the warm down featured some facial relaxation exercises to loosen him up.”
Other highlights from the pilot include a party that was very poorly voted after the host was supplied with ‘duds’ resulting in “absolutely no gurn action at all. The only gurn of the night was when another guest yawned with boredown”.
The show also featured a London based Irish DJ who won the contest after insisting his guests double drop strong ecstasy with a slug of whiskey, before entering his strobe-lit black painted bedroom for four hours of Aphex Twin. “Two people got sick on themselves, before hugging and declaring their love for each other,while the hose just sat in a comfy armchair trying see through the back of his own head and rubbing his jaw off his Adam’s apple”.
“It was fantastic, all of the gurns were very highly rated,” added Nathan.
The show, entitled Come Gurn With Me, will hit screens this summer.
