Tensions begin to boil over on the third night as Charlotte holds a grudge with Anna. Meanwhile, the censor has to pixellate and beep out Giovanni's input, as he twice tells people they're talking "bullshit" for defending Claire's cooking.

It's the final night in Cardiff, and Giovanni shows the group a life coach exercise over dinner. However, Charlotte's competitive streak comes to the fore, and she hasn't forgotten all the criticism Giovanni has given over the week.

Lydia brings some of her Kenyan heritage to the dinner table, and reveals that she's the queen of her town. But her objections over the previous nights cause hypercritical responses from the others, and everyone is getting bored of John.
The fourth night, and Susan's toilet humour even extends to her food, with her "Suey Pooey Pud". However, her food goes down well and everyone makes an effort - Lydia even disregards a hair in her food and attempts to tell a joke.
The fifth evening in Reading has John aiming to win, but he must contend with Susan's poor table manners. Even worse, all three female contestants decide to let everything out on the final night, trading barbed insults throughout.
Five nights in Birmingham begin with self-titled "Chinese domestic goddess" Lisa, who doesn't impress her guests by admitting she cut corners preparing her food. Tensions are also in the air with Mark's overt flirting towards Martha.
The group begin to bond as host Martha introduces them to a vegan menu. As a former shopping channel presenter, Martha asks them all to practise selling, with the group in hysterics as Mark uses it as another chance to try and woo her.
It's Mark's turn to host, and he organises a night of improv comedy, plus arranges some special vegan food for Martha. However, she's not impressed with either, refusing to join in any of the games and complaining about his food.
It's Sonia's turn to host, and she's conscious of growing friction between herself and Martha. Yet the group as a whole are turning away from Martha, with even her former admirer Mark now calling her "the fun sponge".
