Stewart is dreading a tacky student affair, Emma thinks the host must be a man, Huw is flummoxed about what a full-moon beach party is, and Gina thinks that she should wear an overcoat.

June 1, 2011
Police communications officer Esther Kennedy has planned a gourmet dinner party menu, but her food receives mixed reviews. Esther has very high standards and believes a successful dinner party means everything must be just so. Nice cutlery, matching plates and impeccable glassware are an absolute must.

22x53 - Merseyside, Jean-Jacques Silitto
June 8, 2011

She's going head-to-head with feisty barmaid Sarah Williams, snobby ex-royal butler Dan Smith, eccentric ex-bunny girl Krystyna Stark and art student and love coach Glenn Davison. Sarita is convinced her food and hosting skills will be enough to bag her the £1,000 cash prize and she's got a pink-themed evening planned to impress her guests. Will Sarita's traditional menu and cryptically named dessert 'Finish with a sparkle' be enough to fend off competition for the rest of the week?
22x57 - Hull, Krystyna Stark
June 14, 2011
It's the second day of the competition in Hull and next to host is eccentric ex-bunny girl Krystyna Stark. After shocking the others with her feathery attire last night, the guests are expecting the unexpected and Krystyna doesn't disappoint. The evening soon dissolves into mayhem when Krystyna serves up her starter of Avocado Mediterranean (which contains prawns) to non-shellfish eater Sarita Robinson, who refuses to eat it. And Krystyna accuses barmaid Sarah Williams of putting on an act because of her issue with having different textured foods in her mouth at the same time. With the girls at loggerheads, Glenn and Dan try their best to smooth things over but the evening takes an unexpected turn when Krystyna bursts into song. Can her tribute to the Queen Mum lighten the mood? And most importantly, will Krystyna and Sarah get through the night without hitting each other?
22x58 - Hull, Dan Smith
June 15, 2011
It's the third day of the competition in Hull and next to host is aspiring country gent and ex-royal butler Dan Smith. Dan doesn't believe his palace experience will help bag him the £1,000 cash prize but his care-free attitude's certainly not going to help either, as his first move of the day is to visit his local deli to buy his dessert! The tension between the ladies is hard to ignore but while Dan is away in the kitchen, tempers really fly in the dining room. Dan is dumbstruck as to how his evening has turned into chaos. With one party trick and five shop-bought chocolate brownies up his sleeve, will it be enough to bring harmony to the group and win him the £1,000 cash prize?
22x59 - Hull, Sarah Williams
June 16, 2011
It's the fourth day of the competition in Hull and next to host is feisty single mum of four Sarah Williams. After three nights of intense bickering between the women, Sarah is determined her evening will be a more relaxed affair. She's hoping a no-nonsense menu of traditional northern grub, and the added sparkle of a 'Moulin Rouge' theme, will do the trick in cheering up her fractious guests. Has Sarah done enough to win the £1,000 prize?
22x60 - Hull, Glenn Davison
June 17, 2011
It's the final day of the competition in Hull and last to host is art student and love coach Glenn Davison, who is hoping that his charm will win over the ladies and bag him the cash prize. After a week of snide comments and general sulkiness among the women, the mood in the group is mixed, but with one dinner party left to go, the contestants are determined to have a good time, and they're expecting high things from Hull's very own lothario. Not wanting to disappoint Glenn's lined up an artistic feast, starting with 'Ocean Romanticism', a main entitled `Eastern Impressionistic Green' and for dessert 'Abstract a la Crepe', which has the group baffled as to what they are. Can Glenn's 'Abstract a La Crepe' save the day and will his entertainment distract the bickering women?

June 20, 2011
Van driver Annie Wroe has given her menu a racy theme with a risqué name for each course. Her starter is `Something Fishy Going On'. Her main course is `Saucy Pork Loins with Veg'.

June 22, 2011
Former sailor Tony Wade hopes to prove he's the best cook in the group with a triple bird roast and a triple chocolate mousse. Tony also hopes to bring peace between Annie and Suzanne by sittting them next to each other. Could be risky.
