First host in Bristol is snappy dresser and furniture salesman Richard, who hopes his presentation skills will wow his guests. But he wasn't expecting to meet 37-year old-teacher Anne, a straight-talking French woman who not only refuses to drink his wine, but also calls his job boring, much to the astonishment of 21-year-old paramedic Harriet and 46-year-old IT architect Steve. As the week progresses, Anne barks at Harriet and recites erotica, while Harriet's ditsy one-liners are a constant amusement for the table. The host on the final night has just one aim - to beat Richard after his restaurant quality meal on night one. In an episode of extreme highs and ravaging lows, expectations are crushed, hidden depths are revealed and criticisms are levelled. But who will take home the £1000 prize?
