The second host from in and around Basingstoke, business owner Adam, hopes to impress his guests with authentic Mexican cuisine, inspired by a holiday to a resort in Cancún.
On the third night in Basingstoke, DJ and nutritionist Mark goes down the festival route with both his food and the entertainment, and offers his guests his own filtered water.
Day four in Basingstoke finds winery worker Izzy planning a sophisticated evening, though whether her fancy approach will prove too much of a risk remains to be seen. DJ and nutritionist Mark irritates Izzy by not sticking to her dress code, while Adam and Chris embrace the black-tie event. Will the self-confessed queen of dinner parties give the guests a night to remember and put herself in the top spot, or will the sophistication be too much for some?
The final host from in and around the Hampshire town of Basingstoke is snappy dresser Chris, who hopes to impress his guests with a '90s music dress code and a menu of French dishes made with local produce.

It's the turn of food hub charity director Paula to host, who takes inspiration for her menu from her job, by using ingredients that have passed their best before date.
The fourth night in Sussex, finds vegan solicitor Hassan acting as host, incorporating his love of Asian food into his menu. With his first course of gyoza winning over ultra-critical guest Rod and the rest of the table, it looks like Hassan is on a winning streak. However, a huge error in spice judgement causes spice-phobe Paula to throw in the towel and even challenges the taste buds of heat-loving Sarah.
Serving up the last meal of the week in Sussex is jewellery entrepreneur Sarah, who hopes to scoop the grand with an evening of simple and nutritious food. It's an entertaining night with the group auditioning for a home shopping channel, one diner revealing their bovine secret and a cosmetic confession leaving everyone gobsmacked.

She takes her guests on a journey of discovery with her food, and an art class around the table certainly makes an impact.
In the north-west of England, the last host, administrator Christine, plans an evening of chilled-out no-fuss food. There's a sausage surprise over the starter, with a heady combo of friendly tomfoolery and rollicking ribbing, and even Shakira pays a visit. But will a cakey mistake and a portion problem cost Christine the £1,000 cash prize?

In south London, the final host of the week, yoga teacher and masseuse Helen, serves up a Thai-inspired menu and a zen yoga-themed night for her guests. Helen has struggled with the spicy food served thus far, so decides to bring down the heat and serve up some fruity and fragrant dishes instead.

Last to host in and around the Glasgow area is Polish nail technician Kasia, who hopes to scoop the £1,000 prize with an evening of traditional Polish food. It proves an entertaining night with a lively game of Polish Horseshoes, boys versus girls knocking bottles over with frisbees and confessions of phobias around the table leaving everyone open-mouthed.
First to host in the north east is 45-year-old clothes shop owner Lee, who is hoping to impress her guests with an evening dedicated to her favourite kind of food.
Hairdresser Simon hopes that tried-and-tested nutritious food will impress his guests on the second night in the North East. But not everyone is convinced as Lee has issues with the dessert, while Sophie enjoys grilling the host about the menu.
Nurse Sophie hosts the third night in the North East, hoping her fast-food menu and kids' party theme will let her guests unleash their inner children and win her the prize.
On the fourth night in the north-east, sexual health nurse Jade throws a Wild West-themed party in a bid to rope her the money.

After Jade and Simon's earlier tiff, everyone watches in anticipation to see whether he will pick her meal apart. With the party in full flow, Lee is shocked to find out Jade's job, but the others aren't happy with her behaviour around the table.
