Jesse is the first to host his dinner party, and his chosen theme is "Mediterranean Summer." He serves up a delicious five-course meal that includes oysters, lamb shoulder, and a Greek dessert. The contestants are impressed by Jesse's hosting skills and the quality of the food, though some suggest that the portion sizes could have been larger.

Next up is the hairdresser, who has decided to host a "Pink Party" with a menu featuring pink foods. The contestants are surprised by the creative use of color in the decor and cuisine, which includes pink salmon, beetroot risotto, and a pink pavlova for dessert. However, some of the contestants criticize the hairdresser for not spending enough time with them and focusing too much on the aesthetic of the party.

The farmer is the third to host, and he chooses a "Bush Tucker" theme for his dinner party. The menu features ingredients native to Australia, including kangaroo, emu, and lemon myrtle. The contestants are impressed by the unique flavors and creativity of the dishes, but some struggle with the more exotic meats.

The property manager is the penultimate host and opts for a "Fiesta" theme, serving up a selection of Mexican dishes and drinks. The contestants enjoy the lively atmosphere and flavorful food, but some criticize the lack of authenticity in the cuisine.

Finally, it's time for the schoolteacher to host, and she chooses a "Vintage" theme for her dinner party. The decor features vintage table settings and attire, and the menu includes retro dishes such as chicken a la king and baked alaska. The contestants appreciate the effort put into the decor, but some find the dishes to be too old-fashioned and lacking in flavor.

Throughout the episode, tensions rise between some of the contestants, with clashes over opinions and personalities. However, the friendly competition remains at the forefront, and in the end, it's up to the contestants to decide who deserves the title of the best host and the $2,000 cash prize.
