The five contestants not only sum up their competition, but all have strong opinions on who they like and don't like. Hugo Preece is second on the list to host the dinner party.

His menu consists of foie gras and poached pear as the starter, Alaskan salmon and mint peas the main course, and a banana flambé with red wine and lavender sorbet for dessert. Besides the controversial topic of the foie gras and the fact that one of the diners has never eaten Britain's national dish of fish and chips, most of the conversation occurs post meal, when the diner's talk about their continuing like and more dislikes of the fellow diners. But they do have strong opinions about the quality of Hugo's meal, and score accordingly.

Beyond discussion of the food, the diners become increasingly open about their fellow diners.

Her menu consists of bacon wrapped maraschino cherries as an entrée, tian of crab & avocado as a starter, phyllo wrapped noisette of lamb as the main course, and sorbet drenched in vodka for dessert. In the kitchen, she confesses she likes cooking but hates touching food. At dinner, a controversial subject breaks the ice and gets the warring words between diners started again.

22 mins

Ethical foodie Thoby hopes that knowing where his food comes from will help make the meal better. His menu consists of buckwheat blinis with smoked salmon and *farmed* (ethical) caviar as the starter, osso bucco with risotto bianco as the main course, and Mr. Tarty's blackberry and apple tart for dessert. He also has an after dinner surprise listed on the menu. The ethical issues of food are again brought to the forefront during the meal. Believing Mr. Tarty will win the day, Thoby soon finds out if that is indeed the case as he announces the winner of the £1,000.

Tara Tasker is the first to host the dinner party. Her menu consists of cream of Arbroath smokie soup as a starter, drunken duck with bramble wine and plum bree as the main course, and Tara's tantalizing trio for dessert. Her game plan is to be as attentive to her guests' needs as possible. True to her self-professed underdog status, she is stressed throughout the cooking process, especially of her main course, which she admits to being terrible in her test earlier in the week. Is the final product any better in her guests' opinions? Beyond the food, the four Scots have a laugh over the one Englishman.

Dundee, Francis Glancy

22 mins

Francis Glancy is second on the list to host the dinner party. He's worried about having a panic attack if something goes not according to plan. He is fussy about his food and its presentation, which reflects the artist in him. He uses his artistic talents both as décor and as an offering to his guests, the latter which he hopes doesn't offend. His menu consists of summer bruschetta as a starter, iskenderoni as the main course, and vanilla and ginger cheesecake with balsamic strawberries for dessert. Something during the evening does not go according to Francis' plan, but will that affect either his demeanor or his guests' appreciation of the evening?

Dundee, Laura Cunningham

23 mins

By this third dinner party, two of the contestants have formed an unusual bond, but another two have differing ideas of each other than the other believes. Laura Cunningham is third on the list to host the dinner party. Laura decides to bring to her meal aspects of her girly girl personality: sparkle, shine and pink. But her guests don't know what to expect for food as she hasn't talked much about food or cooking over the previous two nights. Her menu consists of hot smoked Scottish salmon salad as a starter, Caribbean chicken as the main course, and crêpes Suzette for dessert. Throughout the evening, the unusual bond is strengthened, and the mismatched views come a little closer together. And Francis doesn't smell food but a potential business opportunity.

22 mins

Jimmy Fox is the host for the evening. He is confident about his chances of winning, especially after the first three dinner parties, but his guests cannot even picture Jimmy in the kitchen let alone cook a meal. His menu, true to his Scottish nature, consists of Arbroath smokies and homemade red lentil soup as a starter, minute steak wrapped haggis with white pudding as the main course, and Scotch delight for dessert. Bagpipes figure prominently in the meal, if not in true presence, then at least in inspiration, but the guests may not even notice. After dinner, Jimmy reassesses his chances of winning. Will his reassessment match his scores? And will his budding bromance with Adam influence Adam's scoring?

Adam Smith is the last of this fivesome to host. Those who believe they still have a chance of winning see Adam as their main competitor, who they predict will prepare upscale cuisine in a posh mansion. Conversely, Adam is confident about his chances despite feeling tired after a week of partying and despite living in a small flat with much of his old student possessions. His menu consists of hand dived seared scallops with pancetta and salad as a starter, pan-fried duck with fruit and brandy sauce as the main course, and Eton mess with champagne for dessert. He takes a risk by preparing much of the meal in front of his guests. At dinner, he notices the obvious dislike of the food by one of his guests. He'll soon find out if that one guest affects his chances as he announces the winner of the £1,000.

Kate Hibbert is the first to host the dinner party. Her menu consists of goat's cheese and Parma ham on a pear walnut salad as a starter, Posh Pompey fish pie as the main course, and cinnamon spiced oranges with blueberries and pomegranate for dessert. She hopes that fresh produce from the garden of her father, a television gardener, and specially chosen wine to each course will add extra marks. At dinner, one of the guests seems to be the odd person out amongst this fivesome. After dinner, the guests remark on Kate's demeanor as a hostess, which does not match her own assessment while she was working away earlier in the kitchen. At the end, Kate confesses to the camera her thoughts about winning or losing.

His menu consists of cheesy stuffed mushrooms as a starter, Spatchcock-style chicken breast with pancetta and sausage stuffing as the main course, and raspberry soufflé with dark chocolate sauce for dessert. He takes a chance at preparing the dessert in front of his guests. He hopes his gifts to each will impress. And last night's outsider makes an attempt to explain to the others to mixed results.

Yvonne Finlayson plans to take her guests on a journey of science-inspired culinary discovery, with some high-Octoberane entertainment, scintillating chat and a healthy dose of revelation.

Episode 25

Portsmouth, Maria Wilkinson

Maria Wilkinson is third on the list to host the dinner party. Being a restaurateur, Maria believes she has an upper hand, despite not being a professional chef. On the flip side, some of her guests hope she will be fair and not have her restaurant chefs prepare the meal. But Maria does use the services of her business partner who will act as server. Maria's menu consists of double baked smoked applewood soufflé as a starter, crab and mint mousse stuffed chicken breast as the main course, and white chocolate pannacotta for dessert. Instead of a palette cleanser between courses, Maria decides on a bit of activity for her guests, which doesn't go exactly according to plan. By the end of the evening, the guests have as much to say about Maria as they do about her business partner.

Episode 26

Portsmouth, Sheena Ives

Will the guessing game leave her guests inspired or bored?

Episode 27

Portsmouth, Lynne Derry

23 mins

Lynne Derry is the last of this fivesome to host. Because she's had a cold all week, her guests haven't really warmed up to her at the previous parties, and so she's hoping her hosting will add that spark that's been missed all week. Besides her invited guests, some uninvited guests she hopes won't show up are of the rodent variety. Lynne's menu consists of goat's cheese and glazed plums on walnut bread as a starter, rolled leg of lamb with orange, garlic and rosemary as the main course, and boozy ginger and rhubarb trifle with lemon syllabub for dessert. They continue to party into the hallway before Lynne announces the winner of the £1,000.

Gavin Dyer is the first to host the dinner party. His menu consists of fig, goat's cheese and caramelized onion tartlet as the starter, stuffed pork and mustard mash as the main course, and chocolate fondant for dessert. A person who is used to making prepared meals but is starting from scratch to impress, Gavin is treating the meal preparation like a science experiment. The five seem to get along during the evening until the person that is deemed "the posh one" starts making what are considered rude comments, which places a slight damper at the end of the evening.

The five contestants assess their chances of winning based on meeting the other four and experiencing the first party hosted by Gavin. They also assess how they will get on with the others for the remainder of the week. Alison Deer is second on the list to host the dinner party. Her Italian inspired menu consists of roasted red pepper soup with homemade bread as the starter, lasagne as the main course, and tiramisu for dessert. She spends as much time preparing the meal as she does cleaning the kitchen. Part of the meal doesn't sit well with Gavin, the cheese hater. The dinner conversation continues much of the same tone from the previous evening, which in turn strengthens Carol's open dislike of Patrick. Another has an equally strong dislike of Patrick and Carol, these feelings which are kept to that person.

His menu consists of king prawn and queenie scallop salad as the starter, brie stuffed supreme of chicken as the main course, and raspberry crunch for dessert. Gavin has a few embarrassing moments prior to dinner. Carol is surprised that David does know how to cook. Unlike previous evenings with this group, the dinner conversation steers clear of the sexual innuendo - on the most part.

Episode 31

Torbay, Patrick Walker

22 mins

Alison, Carol and Patrick discuss their problems with the other two, Patrick taking the brunt of the criticism for his open sexual innuendo, especially directed toward Carol, who takes offense to the comments. Alison in general just doesn't like the sexual innuendo, which she considers lowbrow. Patrick Walker is the host for the evening. His "old fashioned hotel food" menu consists of scallops with black pudding as a starter, sole Florentine (pheasant Florentine for fish hater Gavin) as the main course, a jalapeño, lime and mint ice as a palette cleanser (which ultimately does more than cleanse the palette for one guest), and crème brûlée for dessert. He is as impressed by his menu as he is with his kitchen utensils, the "biggest in the village" which impresses the ladies of the village in his estimation. He is not impressed however by any of his guests. His guests ultimately have issue with a last minute changes to his menu. More fireworks occur at dinner between Patrick and Carol, this time by a comment by Carol about Patrick's dogs. By the end, the evening totally deteriorates.

Episode 32

Torbay, Carol Sylvester

22 mins

By this, the last party of the week, Alison, Carol and Patrick are just waiting for the entire process to end so that they never have to deal with each other again. But they vow to be on their best behavior for this last meal, which may irk Gavin and David, who have been amused at the fireworks from the sidelines. Carol Sylvester is the last of this fivesome to host. Her menu consists of Channel crab cakes as a starter, lamb stifado as the main course, and raspberry Pavlova and chocolate fondue for dessert. Carol has a kitchen equipment failure which could affect her ability to cook the meal. She hopes that her home brewed beer will lull her guests into a sense of relaxation. She will soon find out if these issues affect her scores as she announces the winner of the £1,000.
