It's an unusual evening complete with strange food, shocking name reveals and dessert taking an unexpected turn.
Episode 7
It's the second night of the competition in and around Newcastle, and art teacher Karen's turn to host. She's looking to impress her guests with a ginger themed menu; each course will include her favourite spice. Fussy eater Debs is unexcited at the prospect of goat's cheese or salmon en croute and is more concerned whether Karen has made her own pastry, and while vegetarian Delphinium is underwhelmed by Karen's menu, she really gets stuck into Karen's art class entertainment. Software salesman Mark is keen to put the cat among the pigeons by winding Debs up about 64-year-old ladies' man David who likes to shock the group with his antics in Ibiza.
Episode 8
It's the third day of the competition from in and around Newcastle, and it's mobile hairdresser and amateur musical songstress Debbie's turn to host. Her plan is to bring a bit of the showbiz razzle dazzle to her night after Karen's art themed evening failed to turn into a masterpiece. But there's a shock in store for Karen, lots of humble pie for Mark and some very unusual dumplings for barista Delph and Ibiza-loving David to try.
Episode 9
It's the fourth day of the new competition from in and around Newcastle, and the turn of Ibiza loving, young at heart 64-year-old David to host. His plan to win the grand is an elaborate Ibizan style menu of tapas and paella. But the menu is all a bit much for Mark, plus there is still the issue of Karen's bruised leg and bruised ego to deal with.
Episode 10
It's the final night from in and around Newcastle, and the turn of Essex boy Mark to impress his new Geordie chums with a menu of deep fried brie, slow cooked lamb and a passion fruit pavlova. Debs, again, struggles with the menu but also lets out her personal feelings about the group.
