The competition starts in Broughty Ferry, Dundee at The Abertay Guest House, where hosts Kate and Karlos Victor hope their home from home approach will win the day. On arrival, Bob Calder and his sister-in-law Kirsty Laird, who run The Registry Guest House near Aberdeen, immediately want to leave. The group get to try their hand at the sport curling. But despite the ice, the competition heats up for Jules Tagger and his partner Jan Latimer, from The Wellwood in Amble. At dinner, the disagreements continue as Pauline and Mike Hirst from The Albert in Scarborough get political over Kate's views on Scotland. But when it comes to feedback, Kate and Karlos are left crushed by some of the comments and vowing revenge.
