You’re the most stubborn out the two of us but I’m probably the most opinionated yeah is that fair yeah I think I don’t know I think you’re pretty stubborn as well I just think if you got something to see see it yeah but not all the time
All right then Kev what have you got to say about your menu so food tonight classic hearty Italian Fair going to hit the spot great local ingredients well cooked I’m confident that this is a winner menu uh anybody who complains about the menu tonight is either a fussy
Eat there or doesn’t understand good food oh and the first course of quality fair is the starter scull ups and black pudding with P I do like black pudding it is a northern thing but I first had it when I lived in Paris and we called it Buddha no bu no black p

Smell no I’m leaving I’ve had enough bye you can hardly blame her K black pudd is a bit of a risk it’s not everybody’s taste but it’s a real special black pudding locally saued uh real rich teone I think it’s going to really set the starter off no get on with some cooking
Kevin knocks up a pea puree by sauteing shalots peas and mint adding stock and giving it a blitz happy perfect knew it these are hand CAU H whbe so not too far away local fish Monga these are going to be perfect work great with the black pudding and the puree the scallops will

Time I had it was in Paris and it was budoir she is quite sophisticated I mean she’s had black pudding but in a different country out in Paris and tricky guests some people will know what a tom yum soup is uh I don’t think all people will Tom Yum soup’s speciality M it’s night one in the Northeast where three Duos are competing to throw the best dinner party we’re going to crack on the starter or leave you to it and tonight married couple Lita and Kevin trust me are hoping to impress with their locally sourced Northern fair
Right we got lots to do so let’s get cracking let’s go in the garden gu Michelle and Charlotte are getting to grips with a popular local Pastime you’re not getting in it’s freezing it’s the north of England and look at all them windows no way well things are certainly
Warming up indoors those not a bit big have I have no I say reach yeah Cy I hope they like black pudding yeah going then three bits in that fashion yeah it’ be symmetrical and on a slight angle I’ve ever been so nervous in my whole
Life I wasn’t this nervous at the birth of me kids just make sure the sweat doesn’t drip into the pan I think it’s a nice hearty starter it’s going to pull us in a really good position with Kevin finally satisfied the Masterpiece is complete scallops on huge chunks of
Black pudding and just scallops for Lita what we enjoy thank you excellent thank you you did you say it was local I’m quite clean to try yeah Pur is yeah black pudding’s great too yeah I’m obviously not a fan of black pudding why did you do black pudding when your
Wife doesn’t like it yes did you do that when I don’t like it it doesn’t bother me I was brought vegetarian it’s not do you eat fish though when you’re vegetarian I’m a pescatarian right I haven’t really tried the English version but the first time I had it was in Paris
And it was Budan Noir yeah yeah okay she is quite sophisticated I mean she’s had black pudding but in a different country out in parisy the Northeast version will have uh converted her to be a black F hopefully she’s impressed with it yeah the combination is great um it’s it’s a
Classic combination but it’s also quite a fashionable thing to have um oh that’s why I wouldn’t know what that but um I couldn’t eat all because of the typical Northern portions it was too much for me I could I couldn’t eat at all no but the little bit that I had I
Quite T was nice I think he was letting us see that you know they eat out they like to be quite sophisticated they’re like nice restaurants but he obviously thinks that’s a signature dish it started went down well there was just slightly bit too much black p there was
Pro the quantity was probably a bit too much but I think the I think the message of the dish got over righty out next the meain is my goto it’s foolproof and uh I’m sure if we get it away it’s a winner it’s a wi not too much remember too much
Portion control so what do you think just two Littles of Roto each put the rot on no I’ll do it not too much not too much Kevin upper person yeah yeah that portion is not so bad the chicken breast is obviously quite big isn’t it it sure is Abby yeah that looks good
Loosen your belts cuz here it comes stuffed chicken slow roasted tomato risoto enjoy onek you very much as you can tell from my physique like party portions that’s that’s quite stereotypical for the north though yeah we typical Northerners definely you like the portions Northerners do certain comfort food better yes pine chips Pine
Gravy do eat pies don’t we yeah yeah when we went to mat recently oh got pie and gravy yeah yeah that’s normal it’s not that nice when we came home she met my family and we we had a roast at my aunt’s house and like she
Put like a little bit of gravy on and my uncle was like you know she can have more than that if you want should always be enough gravy left on your plate that you need to order an extra bread bun when she has a full portion of gravy
On her food that’s when I know she’s a fully converted northerner have gravy with everything yeah it’s a bit I would have gravy on me toast like how can you not like gravy gravy is amazing M gravy I really like the retive good good good
Good I love the chicken m I have to admit I hate Roto I don’t know I think it’s cuz I’m used to I don’t know maybe just you know dried right just normal rice we tend to have plain yeah if I was doing a roto it
Would just be the Roto cuz I do find it quite filling I didn’t really get the dry rice comment who eats dry rice you wouldn’t just eat rice by itself would you but then Chrissy said that she cooks Roto so I was a bit confused by that so
I don’t think it’ll be proper witho just be r h the meeting for me the chicken was lovely the rotto was uh yeah quite heavy yes and for me there was just too much on yes there was a lot but the chicken was moist yeah the chicken was
Great and I quite like the risoto cuz it I thought it’ be really tomatoey and it wasn’t um so that’s was quite nice I think what he was trying to do have a really refined menu and he put a lot of effort into it but again a massive
Portion couldn’t like half of my plate was still there couldn’t eat it back at the table Charlotte has other things on her mind when we were walking around we noticed a a hot tub outside but we used to like to go in it together as a couple with a glass of PCO
But um we then get jumped on by the kids and it completely spoils everything so I get a spray tan every week so if I took the tan off definitely not I could I could go in at the the end of the week when it’s starting to fade you like your
Spray T CH yeah I’m so white without them I think you just get used to it as well but does fade I prefer it when it’s faded a little bit doesn’t it actually I’m going to work them next of it fades against me as
Well on just one side end I end up with uh little brown patches in all sorts of funny places the better Christine and Richard I think are amazing he’s boted by her which is really awesome I love the fact that she gets a spray down in the me and the
Comments were positive I think Michelle said she didn’t like Roto be disappointed if we if we score low based on the quality of the food because nobody complained about it I’m also not convinced that the guys really appreciate the ingredients that have went in our menu today well let’s hope
They appreciate dessert how the biscuits look then y all right we’ll put two biscuits on and we’ll put the the tree in the middle eh y fingers crossed it hasn’t set we’re in trouble okay let’s Go it’s all right the spare biscuits the spare biscuits don’t worry that’s fine there we go let’s try that again shall we don’t drop them well done here it is Lita’s lemon poset with homemade Scottish Shortbread really nice is amazing is amazing lemon lifts it the Tang is um it’s very refreshing it’s lovely I don’t actually like shortbread and I really like this yeah yeah Ser the shortbread is amazing it’s a good little V aren’t you was it you that made the is it true
You have to skate like almost scare shortbread you have to put it in the oven quite ironic cuz when you said you were going to be I was quite scared you know what poset means in English don’t you oh baby sick yummy thanks for that [Laughter]
Think I’m done T it the babysick thing kind of threw me a little bit as soon as it was mentioned it was literally like oh the dessert was we like the dessert very the dessert was for me the best part of the meal the shop rad was great
Yeah the the actual pudding itself I wouldn’t have again it probably wasn’t the the smartest thing I’ve ever done to tell people that the meaning of poset is babysick or curdled milk while they were still eating it but yeah but’s like the best idea I mean luckily most of them
Had finished Kevin and Lita were lovely horse this evening we enjoyed a lovely night but those two courses the starter and the main course were a little bit heavy for us so tonight we’re going to give them 13 Kevin and Lita are super nice and great great hosts um but
Because the portion sizes were too big and the presentation wasn’t up to scratch we’re going to give Kevin and ler of 14 and that gives Lolita and Kevin a total of 27 out of 40 with two nights to go it’s day two in the Northeast and the
Turn of Michelle and Charlotte to play host last night’s definitely beatable uh quickly jump in there I’m confident uh you are confident but not doing any other the cooking I think the guys have got they’ve got it they’ve got to go some they’ve got to we’ve got to work hard to
Beat us I think so our menu is a mix of tha and Vietnamese and I’ve been to both countries and loved them I I’ve never been to either but um I love uh Thai food especially yeah and we lived in China so there was a lot of influence
From that too yeah we’ve never we’ve never had a dinner party before we’ve never cooked for six people I’ve never cooked for more than two yeah and that’s beans on horse their first for into dinner party food will be a starter of c and Caper fish cakes with tom yum
Soup that’s such nice cotton Caper fish cakes with tom yum soup I’m not familiar with tom yum soup no some people will know what a tom yum soup is uh I don’t think all people will tomyum soup’s speciality mine oh would you say yes so
I know what goes in it I know how it should be cooked and most importantly I know what it should taste like no pressure then girls Charlotte chops the veg for the tom yum soup which will be cooked just before serving for the fish cakes seasoned Cod goes in for a quick
Roast while Charlotte does the mash I’m not really sure about the quantities I’m just getting yeah me too oh well she Who Dares Michelle adds horseradish to peppers and spring onions before getting feisty with the tiny blender there a lot of hitting goes on in this house lastly Ino Capers and mash
And it’s time for a taste test yeah yeah the cakes are rolled out and given a flour and egg wash and covered in breadcrumbs I think Michelle will be supervising beer in hand dishing the orders out what do you think I disagree I think Theos and you’d be right ah jeez
Forget me one fish Cake’s done it’s on to the main tyed chicken curry with Jasmine rice and garlic flatbread with a brwn version for Lita Ty red curry and Jasmine rice is lovely I wouldn’t serve garlic flatbread with curry well that’s what they’re doing Michelle starts the flatbreads by adding natural yogurt to
Flour while charlot prep’s fegge for the curry what am I doing with the pepper strips strips these are thinner than that though that’s all right the stick people stay calm Michelle her dough balls are rolled out then she Blends together garlic parsley and butter come on look at this
Bread that is good the garlic butter is spread on and they’ll be reheated later onto the curry have she made own curry paste you can buy some really good red curry paste green Green’s a little bit different so it’ll be interested to see if she’s made a p paste from scratch
With shrimp paste and all the other ingredients that go into it well Michelle’s adding vinegar garlic soy Ginger paprika lemongrass and chili to shop B paste if somebody ask you make your curry paste yourself um I say no but we made it better by adding all the
Elements that we that we wanted to next their adapted paste is added to the chicken and mixed with the vegetables in coconut milk cuz Lita is a pescatarian we’ve done a a little small Diddy one here for her with prawns they’ll cook the jasmine rice later so last to prep
His dessert strawberry and kiwi pudding with mango sbet sounds like something I’d want to eat if I was on a diet yeah that’s a bit light for me that after a spicy Mane um the dessert that we’re that we’re making is quite refreshing so we think it rounds it off well yeah like
A pet cleanser first up it’s the mango sbet once Michelle gets the gelatin base ready Charlotte attempts to peel a mango you might have to take this over come on man once peeled and chopped it’s a simple matter of blitzing what are you doing well what do
You want me to do that’s in put it it well you haven’t locked it in have you the take it out see that Arrow there you go in go coconut milk and sugar and it’s ready for a final Blitz okay okay okay that should be enough for six people it’s good it’s
Good it’s left a set before moving on to the strawberry pudding strawberry and kiwi pudding with mango so that’s all a cup of cocoa is yes that sounds delicious have quite a lot of fruit Michelle mixes sugar with gelatin then adds to some pulp strawberries for
Charlotte to Blitz okay okay you got the hang of that now next in goes coconut cream and it’s left to set cooking complete it’s time to get spruced up the menu doesn’t blow me we I’m I’m I’m not super excited about that menu yeah we shall see we shall see I think
That’s a nice menu that is a good balanced menu we’ll just see what the tom yum soup is yes let’s do this yeah first Rivals to the door are Lita and Kevin you are you good thank hello would you mind opening the bottle yeah it’s a trick it’s not going to blow up
Is it Noob massive of opening bottles abely welcome good job what’s in there elij thoughts so fabulous I bet you haven’t got a phobia open baby bottles no that right next to the party are Richard and Christine hey how are you come in nice to see
You yes I’m fine thanks it’s really nice to have you here Christine are we uh carrying a fresh spray time this evening no a bit rubbed on to you too tired first 12 hours is very sticky bet that’s a long 12 hours Rich coming up crossing the line is it
All made from scratch he is a bit on the borderline of being annoying for me and cutting it fine that thin bit I’m not very happy with mine oh was that nine 10 no 7 and a half all Right it’s night two in the Northeast where Michelle and Charlotte are hoping to impress two other couples with an Asian inspired menu in a bit to win a [Applause] grand whilst the girls crack on with the starter two teaspoons of tomon pow into two cups of boiling water upstairs the
Guest peruse some pics like the travels Outdoors yeah kaying mountain climbing I think we should do a bit of that it looks very exciting more outdoor stuff yeah cut the grass don’t I spoken like a true man back downstairs and the starter’s almost ready after last night
We wanted to make sure that everyone had enough food because obviously people were eating a lot um and we would have done smaller portions but now we feel that we want to feed them so they’re not hungry put the ball over the thing W that’s better than it’s quite
Hot oh God I hope they like spicy stuff kicking off their Asian menu it’s coton Caper fish cakes with tomyum Soup you can move the bowl away so you can use a plate for your fish if you like you don’t have to is it all made from scratch it is a tom yum spice mix it is something that you just you add to it when I saw Tom
Yum suit was on the on the menu it’s something that I that I make quite often so I was just interested to see if you’d made the paste and you know scratch yeah know he was quite proud that he makes it from scratch and it’s something that he
Makes all of the time so took the edge off it a bit for them in that sense because I think they thought it was going to be quite unique and uh it wasn’t never had it before and I’ve quite enjoyed it I like it the the
Vegetables in it the FID cake was lovely the soup was a little bit hot for us too much of a bite in it for us to be fair the vegetables and everything T was tingling a bit with it being a bit too spicy it was the fish cake was okay the
Soup I was really disappointed when Michelle told me it was a past they used for me it was a vegetable broth very weak in flavor um with B bit of heat from a from a from a chili paste I didn’t enjoy it at all I never would
Have guessed it’s always a risk to do something that’s slightly different um and clearly if he’s an expert at it then we’re not so he definitely thinks that he knows everything more than anyone else if you label yourself as a foodie you you must have a lot of knowledge
About food or want to um we noticed the photographs I didn’t expect us to be very outdoorsy yeah yeah Charlotte she’s like oh yeah it’s all beautiful you look like you were doing the hard a few strokes and then she was like oh do we put any wine in that bag it didn’t
Surprise me that Michelle done all the work on the kayak and at all it did surprise me do you want to hear a joke guys oh I love a good joke it’s um about a guy that go into hang on did I miss the punch line
Why are you laughing oh yeah that one I’m laughing cuz I know the end is she normally like that is cuz if it is that’s amazing to me I think she was nervous yesterday and I think it’s she’s now yeah relaxed anyway he goes into a Chinese restaurant
When his food comes it’s um on a big silver tree with a big silver Sala and he’s sitting and it keeps moving up and down and he lifts at one side and there’s nothing happening so he calls for the waiter and he says waiter what’s going going on he went ass a peeking
Duck Kevin come on Christine’s joke was it was the joke itself wasn’t that funny but the delivery of the joke was unbelievable onto the main and the ho are feeling anxious I was more confident earlier than I am now I think we need to impress Kevin foodwise C knows a lot
About maybe Thai food and we we did use a a paste as a boost for our source we enhanced it yeah well let’s see if this enhances is your evening tie red chicken curry with Jasmine rice and garlic flatbread with a prawn version for Lolita flatbread homemade y the the
Flatbread T mid what’s in this spice Pier Michelle lemongrass paprika chilies uh soy sauce garlic ginger ginger um go on fess up I do have to admit I had a I had a a red tie paste en hanser you know it’s the first time i’
Ever made it so I was like oh I didn’t enjoy the man at all um it wasn’t a lot of flavor it was Bland there no spiciness there was nothing memorable about the about the curry for me I really like Kevin but I think he is a bit on the borderline of
Being annoying for me tonight straight away asked whether we’d made the pace ourselves cuz we had so many elements to our meal and we were rushing just to get all of that done I think that would have added another stress that I don’t think we could have coped with absolutely
Gorgeous I know Kevin wasn’t uh he wasn’t hot enough for him for us was idea for us the whole thing was gorgeous yes main course was enjoyed very good yeah lovely with at least half the guests Happy Talk turns to Michelle and Charlotte’s worldly travels Charlotte
And I used to live in China Charlotte came out and helped me open our own school and gosh that’s marvelous I was like a head master so do you speak Mandarin I I can get by how do you order beer in Mandarin Michelle I like eing P She
Here very impressive she must take teach us some Mandarin can I ask what we just said this Curry is my favorite Curry yeah crafty when she asked for the beer she actually sounded Chinese yes you know she was the accent was absolutely amazing it’s sure’s First Impressions can be wrong
Cuz I didn’t say that in Michelle I didn’t see that coming at all did June I was yeah that was very impressive I think the the main went pretty well well I think I think it was okay it it was quite clear that Kevin didn’t really
Like it which is fine last chance to impress Kevin the rest is dessert have they set they’ve definitely set i’ I checked earlier how on man some of them are lighter than others not as hard as I’d like it to be but we can we can do that I’m happy with
It yeah I think it looks good pretty happy I think this will please Kevin cuz it’s made from scratch for sure probably won to be fair you’re probably right but here it is anyway strawberry and kiwi pudding with mango sbet B appeti I think dessert is gorgeous yeah yeah it’s
Lovely it’s very nice refreshing yeah very light Kevin you’ve been dying to say something I’ve been watch is it fresh mango in soia made from scratch yeah brilliant so this is more of an Asian kind of milk is it the milk is the milk in it milk
Pudding milk it has been made in a Asian traditional way yeah well I quite enjoyed that I must say good I’m glad one the most politest men I’ve ever met you’re cracking as well taxi putting really was complimented complimented the main the otheres it was probably the worst was a
Bit Bland wasn’t it I think even if we’d made the best menu like Mitchell and starwise I don’t think we would have impressed Kevin I think with Christina and Richard on our back we might we might be okay great company lots of laughter um a night will remember but
Ultimately the food was a real down real let down wasn’t our standards wasn’t our standards so we’re going to score Michelle and Charlotte 812 we enjoyed the food tonight every course was nice except the start was a little bit hot for us but apart from that we’re going to give Michelle and Charlotte
16 so Michelle and Charlotte scor 28 out of 40 putting them one point above Kevin oh he won’t like that it’s the third and final day and the turn of love birds Richard and Christine to host and one guest is on everyone’s mind last night Kevin did
Critique the food quite a bit uh and I’m expecting some criticism Kevin’s done quite the the flip reverse with his personality he went from host with the most to just being a bit critical and yeah it just doesn’t didn’t seem to be his General self do you not think
Christine and Richard will be a little bit intimidated tonight and a bit nervous because of your high standards I don’t think anything intimidates Christine if if Kevin is critical tonight I’ll let it go over my head yeah cuz at the end of the day he’s getting it for free well
That’s all right then I don’t really know what to expect from tonight’s food I’m not sure whe they’re a big foodie either because I think they’ve pretty much eaten anything that’s in front of them our theme for tonight really sort of dinner party Classics that I would
Usually do so it’s richer than what we would normally eat first up the starter F tomato and basil salad over to you Kev could be nice if done well boring now come on tell us what you really feel you love feda cheese yeah I like it but
It it takes about five minutes to make we hope people are like it we love it I know it’s quite simple but often simple food is the best let’s see shall we first up a little cubing tutorial try and do um even size cubes do you understand the technique I certainly do
What technique marvelous I’m so impressed absolutely marvelous I’d love to be in that kitchen today cuz she will be taking control she’ll be going crazy today is the day I’d like to be Richard actually because I would love to see that going on well it’s sort of chopped
To Perfection Richard but that thin bit I’m not very happy with mine is that nine out of 10 no 7 and a half all right next Christine whips up a Basel and oregano dressing looks absolutely amazing I’m I’m hungry already well you’ll have to wait Richard blim me nice
Tomatoes they’re all plum tomatoes and see they’ve got different colors and then this gorgeous one here’s got a lovely stripe on it and if you put it there love you see it matches the ble oh yes you made your bread already no I didn’t make my bread oh um but I did
Sauce it locally and Kevin will ask the question of course he will that’s right onto the main garlic and herb stuffed chicken in a white wine sauce it’d be nice to see if this chicken beats the chicken from the first evening it’s a winner every time for me but all the
Meals that Chris does is bit like eating at the SEO anyway yeah flattery won’t get you out of work Richard go to chicken breast pull that over right make sure Ser it and then you’re ready to batter how we getting on I think I’m doing
Okay there we go okay thank you she then Stuffs the chicken with garlic and herb cream cheese before they’re wrapped and given a flash fry this shouldn’t press care cuz it’s um organic free-range chicken bread next in stock and white wine with no measurements this is a
Recipe Al Christine again it is no cookery books needed here not very exciting is this no I don’t have a grandmother if I did that’s what you would probably cook ouch once poached the chicken is removed and cream added to the stock this is very calorie
Conscious this is why we only have a dinner parties in goes more garlic cheese and that’s the main done for now dessert time Vanilla crem brulee classic good choice what kind of dessert hallah think if the crem brulee goes right I think we could put the
Other two desserts yeah it is an overall favorite uh normally creme brulee and I think they’ll enjoy it I really like creme brulee if it’s done well for the creme brulee Christine starts with a Nifty egg separating trick this is quite a good technique at works for me I think
She’s going to have to patent that her talents never cease to amaze me yes yes Richard get whiskey just about done sweetie in goes double cream followed by the vanilla I use vanilla pods but um I also use the vanilla Essence if I’m very honest I think Christine will be doing
All of the cooking he won’t be too far away from her though he’s he’s never too far away from her what’s that for I think you’re doing a great job oh do you yes put her down Richard next the warm creamy mixture is Blended with the egg yolks that’s
Creamy that tastes I think that tastes very nice finally the mixture is strained and cooked in a ban Marie the creme LS will be toed with sugar just before serving time to get ready before the guests arrive last night Kevin’s mancher was oh is this made from scratch
Um and I don’t think he can do that again with this menu because it’s it’s much simpler I think personally if a Michel and star Chef put this menu together it still wouldn’t beat our food come on Richard let’s get this show on the road let’s get this party started
Marvelous first in a Michelle and Charlotte hello come on in thank you last of the party a Lita and Kevin come on inev Fant can we have a CH everybody Cheers Cheers everybody here’s the dry Sun Saturday night coming up a compliment from Kevin it’s really enjoyable it’s really nice all the
Ingredients are really nice hooray and the winners are revealed in second place it is it’s the third and final night in the Northeast where Richard and Christine are out to impress with their classic menu in a bid to win ,000 prize so at what stage are we at with the spray T I
Think one more of the whitly B actually yeah well we’ve got to go and sort the starters out thank the drink I wasn’t a massive fan of um it was I I like alcohol but that was far too strong was a bit I like alcohol in the kitchen Christine is
Getting to grips with her speciality tomatoes so fresh from Italy sweet all right well we could say was so sophisticated with flute and nles this morning you could but no one would believe you with the bread warmed the starters ready to serve come on Richard
Let’s hit them with this and here it is feta tomato and Basel salad can’t imagine what Kevin’s going to say the tomatoes are beautiful good cheese is really nice as well can I ask the master of the table Kevin it’s almost like he’s he’s a connoisseur of food and uh and we’re
Waiting for what he’s going to say next was there anything thinking behind the feta rather than a mozzarella the feta is a bit stronger than the mozzarella a bit more B it’s almost like an amalgamation of a Greek and an Italian salad it’s really enjoyable it’s really nice all the ingredients are really
Nice Kevin likes it it wasn’t really you know massively challenging Kevin doesn’t like it so it was you know it was enjoyable but it’s not something I would I would be dying to eat again so is the bread baked from scratch well it is baked from scratch I know a very good
Artisan Baker who was just along the road do you know what these tomatoes are really delicious I love those flavors but it was very simple and the fact that she didn’t make the bread was the problem with me is I do actually think K had a point because mozzarella with that
Would have been brilliant I think the St went down very well not sure your guests agree still maybe the M will go down better I’d be asked by Kevin did you make the stock is the cream organic do I have a cow in the garden Lolita can eat chicken stock and
Then I’m going to put a fish on the side there and it’s good to go tonight’s main garlic and herb stuffed chicken in a white wine sauce I know I shouldn’t like it because I don’t like cream or milk or anything like that but I love cream cheese so
It’s great it’s very very nice can I ask his lordship how he’s enjoying this evening for me the sauce is too sweet and I’m not a cream cheese fan right that sauce to me kind of made the chicken I was really happy with it I didn’t think it
Was sweet in the slightest it wasn’t sweet at all um so I kind of knew it was creamy it was garlicky it was yeah I don’t think the main went down too badly um Kevin didn’t like it but then Kevin doesn’t like cream cheese yes and just
Like wine sauce so it wasn’t going to win whatever it was with back at the table Charlotte has an announcement I’m going to be learning Jordy Jordie best ma no you’ve got to know when to get AR like important let’s G G let g i you see your yam I would say
Let’s G so how would you say let’s G let’s go home how would you say how man didn’t wor booted come on now darling don’t be bothered no I love learning the language up here and uh it’s not that’s not language it’s a dialect it’s a language I think Charlotte’s clearly
Embraced the the northern she’s an honorary Jord M yeah some people lose their accent and you seem like you haven’t even been away however there are a lot of kids running around China just going how man I would love to hear that in the kitchen Christine is caramelizing the
Sugar topping this will be critic by Kevin naturally see I’ve missed a bit the side this is hopefully the winning dessert ,000 might be nearer than we think okay well get it out there vanilla crem Brule the vanilla pods have sunk down to the bottom she thought I’ll get in first before [Laughter] that a creme R would have to be pretty bad for me not to eat it because I love it was a really good good effort of CR was nice texture was um a scrambled egg
Kind of texture mine was too firm mine was running in the middle was it the top tastes like burnt sugar and for me that’s not a pleasurable uh mouthful I think it’ll be a tight night I don’t know who will win be surprised and I be the one want I reading out the
Surprise yes you’re the hostess yes if we win tonight I think it’ll prove that um good food well prepared with local ingredients is the way to go I think we still have a chance of winning I’m not entirely sure yeah I think we’re all like 33.3% at the moment yeah actually
Michelle and Charlotte are 100% in the lead that means Richard and Christine need a score of 29 to back the ground the hosting was amazing uh the atmosphere was great I don’t think the food was necessarily as good as the first night I felt the starter was nice
I thought the me course and the dessert were really disappointing so um tonight we’re going to give Richard and Christine tonight we’re going to give Christine and Richard A score of hold it time for Christine’s big moment [Applause] yay here we go in third place us Richard and [Applause] Christine we still love you we’ve had a fabulous time we really have we really have Charlotte should sit next to Kevin cuz I’m a bit worried actually in second place it is Kevin and Lolita Kevin and Lolita gave Richard and Christine a score of 10 we may have come last but coming
Third is still quite a high place to [Laughter] finish we’ve never cooked for a dinner party before never cooked for probably yeah anyone else so to win is absolutely amazing so brilliant really two lovely girls so yeah enjoy it I’m magnanimous in [Laughter] Defeat E4 tonight at half seven game of clones continues with George and his seven gorgeous clones getting a bit physical then at 10 catastrophe Sharon returns to teaching and Rob gets roped into playground politics The Simpsons is next I know that it’s too lay down now
There’s nothing I can’t do so I to laugh
