Sylvian is hoping her attention to detail and an ambitious global themed menu will be enough to impress her guests. Philippines-born Sylvian's dishes are an East-meets-West affair starting with Japanese gyoza followed by a Sumatran rendang and ending with a very British sticky toffee pudding. But dessert turns out to be sticky in more ways than one; cue tears before bedtime from the host.
This week's competition is in and around Aberdeen where it's the turn of comedy promoter Naz to host. If Naz is to stand a chance of winning the grand, he has to placate his guests, nearly all of whom he has managed to offend over the week.

But eternal optimist Naz thinks that his humour and conviviality will win over his critics and earn him the grand.

There are more surprises, as Louise is fascinated to discover Emily's equestrian connections, Aussie food snob Gary is unimpressed with Emily's menu, and beauty therapist Chiara has an immediate clash of interests with Dec.
In Hastings, flamboyant Australian mature student Gary, who's as loud as his shirts, plans an evening filled with fun, flash and fabulous flavour.

In Hastings, former pop star Dec - a founder member of 1960s band the Bachelors - plans to wow his guests with some musical surprises and a simple seaside menu.

On the final night in Hastings and Rye beauty therapist Chiara returns to her roots to throw an Italian dinner party. Irish crooner Dec gets on his host's wrong side when he questions her interest in healing crystals and likens her to a page three glamour girl.

First to kick off in this all new episode from Sheffield, is student Dylan, who isn't exactly accustomed to dinner party etiquette.

Lynsey's decided an Irish themed menu is what will bag her the grand, but the group are more impressed by the fact that Lynsey was an Irish Dance Champion in her younger days. Night three and Jamie is full of confidence, he is after all, a natural born entertainer so keeping three guests happy should be a walk in the park for him.

Uber confident estate agent Owen is third up. He's been talking up his 'Taste of the Tomahawk' main all week but will it hit the mark? On the final night local entrepreneur Shelly is hoping her homemade traditional Indian themed menu will be enough to bag her the grand but it's not the food that's hot as tempers flare.

An interesting find in a wardrobe leads to our host being mistaken for a stripper, and Rob has a major foot in mouth moment during a chat about cannibalism. Later, Holly gets the hump when she is thrown out of an imaginary lifeboat and there's a palaver over a pavlova.
It's day four of this new competition from Devon, and flexing her culinary credentials is 28-year-old HR manager Holly, with a menu inspired by her restaurant favourites. But will she have to work extra hard to keep her guests sweet? Guests are left open-mouthed when Holly dishes out the rules regarding the use of the loo, and eyebrows are raised further when the boys discover a very revealing portrait in the lounge. But will the growing tension at the table affect Holly's chance of walking away with the grand?
It's the final night of this new competition in Devon, and detective Steve is counting on a menu of bold and experimental flavours to win him the prize. But he has to keep one eye on bickering guests Tina and Rhys as the tension between them threatens to boil over.

With an evening full of fun, friction, feuding and some experimental food along the way, will Steve's night make enough of an impression for him to win the £1000 prize?
