Some of the early editions of Come Dine With Me experiment with the format while it was still being established. This edition uses wipe transitions to change scenes, possibly because narrator Dave Lamb's role isn't as prominent at this stage.
There's also the sequences where guests describe their views on the food between courses - this one features two guests speaking in the same room. While this speeds up the process, it does take away from the competitive element as it gives the guests more of a clue what at least one of the others is likely to score.
However, this would appear to be dictated by the large number of courses given on this particular evening - while the rest of the week in London uses wipe transitions, it returns to the tradition of just one person giving their views to camera.

Although the Channel 4 website has a large amount of Come Dine With Me episodes available to view online, the run of available episodes (as of March 2024) begin with Celebrity Special, Rowland Rivron (2006).
This week in London, and the remainder of the 2005 episodes, are not available on the platform for streaming.
