Didn't they come joint top?
Was watching the programme last week as I was staying in Torquay and Braddons Hall was close by.
This weeks has been quite entertaining - lots of cats' hair around in today's episode...and someone is allergic to it

There are always game players on it. That pair were just much more blatant about it.
Certainly were. I've seen payment returned/refused, but never have I seen two candidates refuse the payment, which just goes to show how blatant it was. There were three winners on the show and none were the recipients of the award, IMO.
Sorry to bump this, but I couldn’t see another thread on it.
Since this enforced isolation thing, we’ve been watching a tad more TV than we did before.
My wife somehow got into this “Four in a Bed” thing, but I’ve only had half an eye on it, while reading a book, or emailing my kids and grandkids.
I paid a little more attention to one or two of the five part shows, one for each B n B, then payment day, and the thought occurred to me, how do they pick the four contestants?
I guess that everyone who enters it, does so for possible publicity, who cares what people say, as long as they spell your name correctly?
I guess that the producers pick four places out of a hat, and say, “Right, may the best place win.”
You’ll get two or three perfectly acceptable establishments, in the Lake District, the South Wales valleys, the Norfolk Broads etc, put in with some doss house in Blackpool, Rhyl, or Clacton.
Okay, the carsey in Rhyl is never going to win, but some chav family, looking for a home from home, may well check it out for a week away.
Half the fun is some Hyacinth Bouquet, with delusions of grandeur, knocking points off because an owl hooted in the night and disturbed her sleep, or someone mistaking yellow bleach in a toilet for urine, and holding back £15 from a £75 payment for their stay.

4 in a bed is one of my favourite programmes on TV . If I'm planning a B&B or Hotel stay, I check out the location to see it's been featured on 4 in a bed first. Most can be found as you tube videos. I think most B & Bs are approached by researchers inviting them to put their place forward for selection. It's fun when the contestants are super critical of the others and then are amazed when they get a taste of their own medicine.

I watched one yesterday, Christ knows when it was filmed, but a five foot blonde tub of lard who had a B & B in Great Yarmouth, welcomed dogs, and allowed smoking, (presumably only in her guests bedrooms).She was as out of place among the other three more cultivated B & B owners, as an Eskimo in the Mojave desert.
She was shown around Bath, and when being informed of the history of the Roman Baths, talked over her host, saying, “Not interested in history.”
At breakfast in her place, the guests discussed their methods of making scrambled eggs, she giggled, “I just mix ‘em up in a bowl, and bung ‘em in the microwave until it goes ding!”
Then she dissolved into laughter.
On being taken to dinner in an upmarket restaurant, by a contestant in Scotland, she looked at the pristine white tablecloth and cutlery settings, and said, “This ain’t my kind of place”, she got that right!
One of the other contestants was an American woman, with a place near Bath, the tub of lard and an arriviste couple from somewhere near Cambridge badmouthed her all the way through, but she took it with great aplomb.
I think a few of the contestants are hoping for a touch of luxury and are often disappointed when they get a glamping site. The best one ( luxury wise) was Steph & Dom's The Salutation, that they said after the show they received over 300 booking enquiries. It's been sold now.
They should do 4 in a bed Seaside resort specials ie Blackpool, Paignton/Torquay or Great Yarmouth as they seem to feature regularly. Would be fairer as they seem to target a similar audience.

I half heartedly watched part of a “Four in a Bed” today.
It featured a pub owner from Yorkshire, who made me feel sorry for every Yorkshireman there is, aside from him.
He was so tight that he squeaked, and proud of it, “Ah’m a Yorkshireman, if ah’m going to be paying £XXX for bed and breakfast, ah want swimming pool.”
He never called his wife by her name, it was “wife”, “Coom on wife, tha’ll miss breakfast.”
He gave Yorkshire people a bad name, an absolute onanist.

Just been watching this as we stayed at the Braddons Hall Hotel last week with Wayne & Debbie & they are on it this week. Todays was a Morgan dealer in Bishop Stortford, Melvyn Rutter.
That one was repeated a week or two ago, I only saw snatches, as I was reading the paper, but I saw most of the final, payment day, and purely in my opinion, the Morgan guy was a copper bottomed cheap piker, the kind of jerk off who padlocks his dustbin, I felt like dousing my TV set in bleach after he’d been on it.Laurel Green said:

Thought I'd quote myself as it seems to apply, rightly IMO, to this week's programme. There were three winners on the show and none were the recipients of the award, IMO.
OK, only one couple returned the payment, but is it a first for no couples taking part in the 'award' ceremony?
