00:01Bonjour!
00:02Six couples stepped up to chase the same life-changing prize.
00:06I can't believe we're here.
00:08Stunning.
00:09Look at this view, Brett.
00:10Welcome to the best bed and breakfast.
00:13The keys to their own dream five-bedroom B&B.
00:20Four expert judges put them under the spotlight.
00:24Slightly chaotic, as they say, up north.
00:27The competition has been so tough this week.
00:29They did drop the ball pretty, pretty, pretty badly.
00:33Oh!
00:34Across two weeks, they hosted real guests
00:36and tackled intense challenges every day.
00:40Whoa!
00:41Look at it. Stop asking me questions.
00:43I've posed it all up again.
00:45Brett, we have a problem!
00:46At which point do we start to panic?
00:49Now, six couples have become four.
00:52No!
00:54Actually, actually...
00:56Thank you, Robert.
00:59Thank you so much.
01:01This week, the final four will be pushed to their limits.
01:05They have to do everything right this week.
01:07The competition is fiercer than ever.
01:09Now you real owners are here.
01:11How do you spell team love?
01:12Breast forgotten tomatoes.
01:14Don't panic.
01:15Because at the end of this week, someone will walk away with a new life in France.
01:21You have won the bed and breakfast.
01:25Previously...
01:26It's wowsers.
01:27The hosts were out and about.
01:31It's bigger than our first flat.
01:34But emotions ran high at the B&B.
01:37Brett!
01:38Is this room nearly set?
01:40I had a cry.
01:42It was good.
01:43Revolting.
01:45And the judges didn't hold anything back.
01:49They're sweet.
01:50They're very sweet.
01:51That's not enough.
02:03It's a new dawn as the finalists reach the halfway point in their battle to prove the prize B&B should be theirs.
02:12Yesterday was really nice.
02:13I really enjoyed it.
02:15It went as well as what we could have made it go for ourselves.
02:20Well, it's not over yet.
02:22We feel like we've got a point to prove, you know, because people might look at us and think,
02:25oh, they're very young, but we really, really want to do this and we want to do it well.
02:31So we want some parsley.
02:34Oh, these are just plants, aren't they?
02:36This is it.
02:37This is what we want.
02:38This is our new life.
02:39Yes.
02:40This is it.
02:41This is who we are.
02:42Oh, there's a wee bookshop.
02:44Oh, there's a wee cookery book.
02:46Like a wee French cookery book.
02:47We do put 150% into work and it's about time that we reap the rewards instead of someone else.
02:56I think that with everything that we've done in the past, it's come together and it's now, isn't it?
03:01Yeah.
03:02We're like, we're ready.
03:03Yeah.
03:04The finals week is gathering momentum.
03:05It just felt like home sleeping here, didn't it?
03:06Yeah, it did.
03:07I was knocked out.
03:08I slept really, really well.
03:09Nicole and Brett are the second hosts to have the judges staying overnight, watching their every move.
03:10So, guys, does the house feel different with different hosts?
03:14It does.
03:15It does.
03:16And thank God it does, because otherwise it'll be boring.
03:17It just shows that different hosts make a different business.
03:19The one thing that's been bugging me that I really want to know more about is them.
03:20There's just something missing and it's a bit of flair from there.
03:33because otherwise it'll be boring.
03:35It just shows that different hosts make a different business.
03:39The one thing that's been bugging me
03:41that I really want to know more about is them.
03:44There's just something missing,
03:46and it's a bit of flair from them.
03:49It's a bit more of them.
03:51It's the last 12 hours to impress, though, really,
03:55so I'll be the hostess with the mostess.
03:58But you keep me right today.
04:00I want you to take the lead, you know.
04:03The judges are now ready.
04:05Shall we go down to breakfast? Come on, then, pet.
04:08To put Nicole and Brett's breakfast to the test.
04:12Let's go.
04:14From Heat Weeks, I guess, we came across a wee bit too formal,
04:19and we want to create that family-friendly, like, homely vibe.
04:23Taking a hint from the judges in Heat Week,
04:26the couple shopped at the market for ingredients yesterday.
04:30I managed to get these from the butchers at the market,
04:33but I did say thin, Brett.
04:36So they are very thick, and there's some bones in it as well.
04:39I'm going to fry it all up anyway. You can have some.
04:43Morning!
04:45Morning!
04:46Good morning, Eva. How did you sleep?
04:48Yes, very good on you.
04:49Good.
04:50During the Heat Week, the breakfast at Nicole and Brett's house was very good.
04:54She's an excellent cook, actually,
04:56but I think she's put a lot of pressure on herself.
04:59She has so many cooked options.
05:02Good morning.
05:03Morning, Nicola. How are you?
05:04Pretty in pink, both of you.
05:06I think I like men in pink.
05:08I think it shows a great deal of self-confidence.
05:11I think I would like to see her do a little less cooking
05:15and a bit more hosting.
05:17Good morning.
05:18Good morning, Andre.
05:20Good morning.
05:21They couldn't put a foot wrong with the breakfast,
05:23except we didn't see them.
05:25Mm-hm.
05:26What they did was brilliant.
05:27Yeah.
05:28It really was.
05:29But I'd rather have a more relaxed environment.
05:32Yep.
05:33Totally.
05:34Brett set breakfast in the terrace this morning,
05:36so you guys are going to go out 38, yeah?
05:39Yep.
05:40Fantastic. Coffee sounds fantastic.
05:44While Nicola and Brett are about to discover
05:46how well their breakfast goes down...
05:49OK, I'll get some teas and coffees for you,
05:51and then me and Nicole will come out and join you as well.
05:53Thank you. That's great.
05:54Bye.
05:56Justin and Paul are having breakfast on the patio,
05:58at Chez Jalot.
06:02Bon appétit.
06:03Yes, bon appétit.
06:04Enjoy.
06:05This is all you, Heidi.
06:06Yes.
06:07Actually, today there is some yellow plums in there,
06:10which we shook off the tree yesterday.
06:13Oh, wow.
06:14Yeah, that's one of the things that we were thinking about,
06:16wasn't it, was the property's got some raised beds
06:19at the moment.
06:20OK.
06:21And we were thinking about, you know,
06:22like, planting out stuff.
06:23Yeah.
06:24You know, like, for the guests.
06:25This is their chance to build their business plan
06:28by quizzing hosts Heidi and Anthony.
06:31I think this is big for a regular continental.
06:35It's sort of ticking every box, isn't it?
06:37You've got bread and croissants for the French,
06:40cereals for the English,
06:42and we do it full English as well as an optional extra.
06:44If someone asks.
06:45Yes, if somebody asks guests, we do that.
06:48I notice you haven't got cheese.
06:49Do you have cheese or...?
06:50We don't put cheese out, no,
06:51and we haven't actually had any guests request it.
06:54Oh, right, report.
06:55Yeah.
06:56Cheese or meat.
06:57Oh, right.
06:58That's interesting, isn't it?
06:59Because we were thinking we need to put cheese on there and meat,
07:02but we found that the French guests who come preferred all the fruity side.
07:07Well, I found that when I did a big bowl of fruit,
07:10guests were being very polite and just taking a little bit.
07:13Yeah.
07:14Whereas when I do the individual bowls,
07:16it's always gone.
07:18Thank you for such a lovely breakfast.
07:20I think we'd better start getting our things ready to go, yeah?
07:23Yeah, that's right.
07:24Yeah, it's our pleasure.
07:25It's lovely to have you.
07:26Thanks.
07:27Yeah, OK.
07:28Have a good night.
07:29It's a really welcoming space.
07:30She's really clearly got a really good eye and you can feel it.
07:34It's got a really good contemporary vibe and it works.
07:40There isn't a one-size-fits-all in this, is there?
07:43Yeah.
07:44And that's the thing what we've learned, I think, today,
07:46is that they have returned customers because they like the way that they...
07:51Yeah, the way that they do their thing.
07:53Yeah.
07:54Yeah.
07:55With plenty of food for thought, Paul and Justin can head off
07:59in search of more ideas for their own B&B.
08:02Meanwhile, the heat is now on for Nicole and Brett.
08:07I am stressing about the...
08:10the bacon, but it's fine.
08:12Just how thick it is, but it's cooking off.
08:15All right, Brett.
08:16I think it's because we're not used to it, maybe.
08:22What do we think of the selection?
08:24It's a bit...
08:27Underwhelming.
08:28I do like to start the day with a yoghurt.
08:31Yeah, I do as well, to be fair.
08:33And in France, I think a lot of people do as well.
08:36Coffee.
08:37Some tea and coffee.
08:39Oh, wow.
08:40That's what we all need in the morning.
08:42Yeah.
08:44Have you had your coffee yet?
08:45I've had, yeah, a small one.
08:47But I'm going to have probably about another litre in there.
08:49Do you happen to have any yoghurt at all?
08:50Yes, we do.
08:51For Nicola and I?
08:52Yeah, no worries.
08:53Just a little bit.
08:55OK.
08:56All right, if I get three eggs on, then I'll be good to go.
08:58Should I open them or just leave my hat in a cold?
08:59Just open them in case...
09:00No, it's just waste then.
09:01OK.
09:02Yeah?
09:03Just open them, yeah?
09:04It's waste if you open them.
09:05You're just telling me to open them.
09:06You're good.
09:07You're good.
09:08You're right.
09:09Superstar, thank you.
09:10I'll put them over here, just for space, and then...
09:11Thank you very much, yes.
09:13Thank you, bro.
09:14All right.
09:15To the grand dame.
09:16Mercy Bucket.
09:17The Queen Bee.
09:18At this stage in the night, the Queen Bee.
09:19It's just a little bit more space.
09:20It's just a little bit more space then.
09:21Yeah?
09:22Yeah?
09:23It's just a little bit more space then.
09:25Yeah?
09:26Yeah?
09:27Yeah?
09:28Yeah?
09:29It's just a little bit more space then.
09:30Yeah?
09:31Just open them, yeah?
09:32It's waste if you open them.
09:33It's waste if you open them.
09:34at this stage in the competition the judges won't be holding back on Irish breakfast lovely lovely
09:42yeah I'll get another egg on stakes are really really high this week they've only really got a
09:50short window to show us what they can do and show us how eager they are to win this amazing prize
09:56of the breakfast mmm the bacon is very thick it's the French style one mm-hmm is it tasty it is really
10:04tasty our standards of judging it are going to be that much higher this week because the price is so
10:12great Wow fantastic thank you ah and cayenne I ain't crying yeah fantastic thank you oh it's got cayenne on
10:23it one thing all the hosts have had to cater for is Brennan's allergy to oats it looks gorgeous I
10:31just have one quick question there's no oats in this braid out there that's a good question I
10:36actually couldn't tell you the next couple to take the reins of the prize house today are Michelle and
10:51Steve right we're off thank you thank you they're at a nearby market to try and prove they can cook a
11:00dinner using local produce we've come to the market because I think it'll be a bit cheaper anyway but
11:07like a good market of fresh produce yes we are we're gonna price if they've got goats cheese and things
11:12like that and produce and then if it's too expensive and we're gonna go to the supermarket we are from
11:19balance Lee dinner is a vital income source for B&B's in this area but in heat weeks the couple didn't
11:28impress one of the biggest failures for me it was the curry and I've done that for years however because
11:35it's different ingredients what we should have done it's done a local meal so that's what we're gonna
11:41do in it French dishes start at Maine and then a bit of English for the last bit my French is fluent
11:50it was the couple's inimitable hosting style that won over their guests in heat week though some
12:09judges had a few reservations about their approach Nicola did say to turn it down a little bit and I
12:17do slightly disagree Nicola because this is who I am oh look chickens oh let's have a look so
12:27don't worry and we've got our new prize home we will get the chickens I'll be running around chasing
12:32chickens for eggs and that dinner I mean come on let's get the eggs we've listened and taken the
12:39advice all on board absolutely turn it down I bought a big roll of gaffer tape
12:44is that strong no yeah go on then we're taking your word for it we've got judges tonight and if it
12:54goes wrong it's your fault anyway everyone just nothing of that in a few hours Michelle and Steve
13:03will take over the prize house and have their chance to prove there's more to them than meets the eye
13:09we're not nervous about the judges coming as a guest because you know what they're going to get to know
13:14us because they think we're this fun loving couple we are but they don't realize that like I've got a
13:20knitting business Steve's got his own business and we're very very clever people so watch this space
13:26as Michelle and Steve are keen to get going Nicole and Bret's time is coming to an end the only thing I
13:37need to ask is if there are oats in this bread they come from the market did they say what type it was
13:44was the sourdough the sourdough so it's less likely to have oats no I'll try a little bit no problem
13:52hello hello how's everyone finding their breakfast lovely lovely here I'll get you one and I have a
14:00lovely yogurt myself do you mind us joining you since morning after breakfast Nicole and Bret have one
14:06last chance to prove they've got more to offer by taking the judges on a day trip paddle boarding
14:11you can all swim okay yeah good it's always good to try something new and it's something for the
14:19kids that's why I purposely had avocado and not the full Irish just in case I sunk instead I think the
14:26location for breakfast was very well chosen beautiful out there you know around the garden with all the
14:32birds the bees and huge improvement in service thank you so much absolutely thank you
14:41Nicole is the brains and Brett is the heart hmm and the more we can get Brett to come out of his
14:47shell I think will soften the residents are real that we have Brennan did ask that what about the
14:57bread did have oats in it but no I don't it was Walnutty there was other bread you could offered should
15:03have done that breakfast was very good in terms of their hosting skills this morning I found them a
15:10lot more at ease and even more comfortable than last night I think they were very relaxed certainly
15:15more relaxed and during the heat week I'm beginning to think how much of a team we are you know yeah but the
15:27plates were empty again yeah that's a great sign I love your cooking I still feel a nagging sense of I
15:37haven't got them I haven't plumbed their depths and I really want to I really want to see the real
15:44Nicole and the real Brad and the only chance to do that now lies entirely on the day trip
15:53bear in the prize house reality has really really sunk in Brett and I just want it you know with this
16:04close right let's go as the door closes at the prize house for Nicole and Brett it opens for the next
16:19couple hoping to make it their own in three hours Michelle and Steve will welcome the judges as their
16:30guests I'm gonna start the brownie while you're going to debate the bedrooms yes dear who'll be
16:39looking for a B&B concept that's every bit as unique as they are the USP really didn't come across in the
16:47last week still not sure what it was other than I heard the words craft writing in the heat weeks you
16:55didn't really see a lot of my crafting so I think it's time for me to shine Michelle's cleverness with
17:04crafts with felting with knitting which are making a huge comeback particularly with young people now
17:09that could be something that they could use to their advantage here this is what I'm gonna teach him to do
17:16it's got a bit squash but this is what we're gonna do so it goes like that so we're all gonna make a
17:23little one of them today we know that Michelle loves her crafts and we know that Steve's brilliant
17:30at his towel art I like to be creative and if it all helps someone to enjoy their stay this week all
17:39the rooms are pre cleaned and ready for the judges allowing the host to add finishing touches and
17:44concentrate on cooking dinner I'm gonna make me brownie what we've gone for is not complicated but
17:51it's really nice one of the weaker aspects of the stays at Michelle and Steve's where dinner they
17:57went for supermarket produce and there was issues the spice intensity so that's gonna go in and melt now
18:05easy chocolate browning in world they were obviously in a position where they were a bit stressed and they
18:10didn't know what produce they were dealing with I am chopping the onion for the main course which is
18:18gonna be mustard chicken that were another thing one it we weren't sure because it's different mustard
18:23in it but friends she's famous for mustard anyway please let's not have a disaster this time because
18:31you're gonna have four very hungry people at the table and those four hungry people might just have
18:36your future in their hands three tablespoons full of mustard it's all that one one it's gonna be like we carry that
18:48meanwhile Nicole Brett and the judges are about to set off on their paddle boarding day trip the hosts have
18:58all chosen their own day trips to show off the kind of things they could offer guests
19:03tell us about how you found this this excursion for us because we want to sort of promote that family life fans in our
19:12family-run business we just thought we'd do something that was you know an activity that you do as a family paddle boarding
19:19might be a bit extreme for some people but there's a lovely beach as well so there's loads to do
19:2530 minutes away is Lac de Vasseville right okay we all ready the wetsuits are ready the changing rooms are
19:34just inside here the women on the left the men are on the right there's cubicles in there but they got
19:38no luck on them so no going into where anyone else is a beauty spot that draws visitors from across
19:47Europe shows off the temple I know where's Nicola she's already in she's a liability Nicole thank you
20:17loved it loved every minute of it Brett's very confident you know you feel in safe hands he's got
20:30huge muscles we've seen his arms I'm up it's like going paddle boarding with Popeye we weren't here to
20:37be educated and informed we were here to have fun and we did have fun okay you're gonna try
20:47this excursion was such a great idea and I don't think I was expecting them to be so prepared for
20:58it as well they've never been here it's the first time they're actually in the region and was just
21:03really well organized their hosting skills was actually amazing the best part was they've opened
21:13up as well they were hilarious they were really funny and I feel I feel like I want 24 hours more
21:19with them yeah I was just about to say we need another day with them to see the real and that's
21:24our kind of the shame because that was the point of these last 24 hours so I mean it's not a lot of time
21:30so they know they've got to bring it and they did bring it on many many many levels I feel conflicted
21:36Nicole and Brett have done everything they can but their time in the hot seat is over and they
21:42won't see the judges until they present their business plan at the end of the week we're sad to
21:48be leaving and checking out we've had the most amazing time haven't we yeah it's been brilliant
21:52and yeah we've just put her all into 110% so we just have to leave it in the judges hands now we've
21:58tried our best
22:00have I got time for one more swim
22:02no
22:02lunchtime
22:04go on one more
22:06last one
22:07go on then
22:09should we just leave her here
22:10we'll be back tomorrow
22:13just leave her
22:14back at the prize B&B
22:21oh it smells nice Steve
22:23Michelle and Steve are preparing for their moment in the spotlight
22:27I am so organized it's unreal
22:31yeah I don't like all the nice Michelle because she's just chaos
22:35oh I'm a really and the hosts have a firm idea of how they plan to impress the judges
22:42Nicola is so switched on on luxury and all that sort of thing either she goes in or tell she knows
22:48what you're serving and what what's good and what's not whereas the boys is more the business
22:52they just want a bit longer right see in a minute
22:59the judges are on their way now then where can I put this and during finals week they'll be expecting to
23:10see something very different from their hosts
23:14I think both of us would like to see them really think about their guests experience
23:19I like that
23:20that's quirky that isn't it
23:22I really want to see how they adapt to us as the guests
23:29yep we've listened
23:31take that boys
23:35thank Michelle and Steve's strength
23:38they're very keen to entertain
23:41and I think it's also their weakness in a way because too much can affect the guests
23:47I think this is a bit like faulty towers really isn't it
23:54girl
23:55how's it going
23:57I'm going to come and check it
23:59I hope she's calmed down just a little bit
24:02a little more focused
24:03and a little less excitable
24:06a lot is at stake here with Michelle and Steve because I think that's the area where
24:11it'll be a make or break for them
24:13oh yeah that's
24:14well I've been stirring it that's how it all works when I come to it
24:18lovely
24:24in the limousel it's Michelle and Steve's moment to shine
24:37as they welcome the judges to the prize B&B
24:44bonjour
24:45welcome to our new home
24:50in heat week their overnight guests were blown away by Michelle and Steve's exuberant personalities
24:56by staying over the judges can now experience it for themselves
25:01to determine if they're the best host to win
25:04so welcome
25:05if you'd like to we'll show you rooms
25:09we'll help you with the cases
25:11and then if you want to come down when you're ready

25:15I hope it's not the dishes
25:16there you go it's in there and I'll follow you in

34:13Michelle and Steve
34:14disappointed their guests

34:18but with this prize house
34:21on the line
34:21tonight
34:22second best
34:23won't do
34:24I think in terms of their dinner
34:26not only there were issues
34:28with the execution side of things
34:29but they didn't really take into account
34:32the local areas
34:33so I'm really hoping
34:33it's something they've worked on
34:35keep it simple
34:36and if it does go wrong
34:38own it
34:39yeah
34:40anybody can sit anywhere
34:41but food isn't the only thing
34:45the judges will be putting
34:47under the spotlight
34:48what I'd like to see
34:50from Michelle and Steve
34:51is perhaps a little calmer
34:52right
34:53oh sorry ladies first
34:55I'm not right
34:56right there you go

36:26and we came across this one
36:28which was a mustard chicken
36:30and it appealed to us

42:01for tonight though
42:04it's Michelle and Steve
42:05who are holding the keys
42:06to the prize B&B
42:08and never has an overnight stay
42:10had so much riding on it
42:12they've given it everything
42:13now the judges must decide
42:15whether it was too much
42:17it's all a bit of a blur
42:19because we have managed to fit into the last few hours
42:22an extraordinary amount of activity
42:25do you think that if they were having ordinary B&B guests
42:29they'd do the card tricks
42:30the dancing
42:30I felt downstairs that I was at a corporate event
42:33well let's just wind back a bit to the food
42:36okay
42:37it's never going to be a restaurant dinner
42:41a lot stronger than the meal they produced during the heat week
42:44nothing was curdled
42:45how do you think this experience compares to
42:49Monday and Tuesday with Roy and Nicola and Nicole and Brett
42:53I feel our first hosts
42:55Nicola and Roy
42:55want a B&B
42:57and to live
42:58traditional
42:59B&B
43:00absolutely their USP is them
43:02second hosts
43:03Nicole and Brett
43:04want a family orientated events business
43:08they'll use the house
43:10in many many different ways
43:12similarly Michelle and Steve
43:14see this as the core base
43:16of a multiple angled business
43:20it got us even more excited
43:21for their business plan
43:23I think we've sampled
43:24seven of their workshops in one night
43:26I think that's very clever
43:28and Steve is a master upholsterer
43:30he's also a master at folding towels
43:33oh I love my swans
43:34I don't know how I'm going to wash in the morning
43:36because I can't disturb the swans
43:38I think the truth is
43:39I feel like I could go down now
43:42pour myself another glass of wine
43:44and boogie to some northern soul
43:46Michelle and Steve have poured their hearts into today
43:51but there's stiff competition
43:52tomorrow could topple even the most skilled hosts
43:56as they leave the safety of the B&B
43:58you've got an awful lot of washing up to do
44:01no I've got a dishwasher
44:02because I've done all the cookies
44:03are you proud of me?
44:06yeah you could say I am
44:07I'm proud of you
44:08I think we've smashed it
44:10give us a kiss
44:11tomorrow's going to be a real teller
44:14we've always enjoyed their breakfasts
44:16so hopefully that'll be up to the same standard
44:19the excursion's going to be the real teller
44:22as we've found with each one of our hosts so far
44:25it's turned the dial
44:26next time
44:30breakfast is served
44:32I'd eat it all
44:33Michelle and Steve entertain the judges
44:36I love it when they can't get rid
44:38I feel really sick
44:40she said sorry for your love
44:42and as the other finalists try to learn all they can
44:46oh I don't want to break this
44:47oh wow this is beautiful
44:49Justin and Paul finally get their turn in the hot seat
44:53through this whole process we've just tried to be real
44:55you were a little bit defensive
44:57you're a little bit
45:20you're a little bit
45:21you're a little bit
45:22so
