First to host in Surrey are competitive American Laura and her English husband James. Laura's hoping to treat her guests to a taste of home by throwing a Tex Mex themed evening. Second couple Sarah and Dan have a special treat in store for their guests that nobody expects. Retired estates manager Edward and his teacher wife Carol are accustomed to hosting dinner parties, so aren't concerned about the competition. With rapping, mono-brows, secret revelations, not to mention some fine food, the competition is wide open with the grand up for grabs.
