It's midweek in a week long dinner party war and trying hard to impress his guests is door to door salesman James Currie. Joining him around the dinner table is graphic designer Rose Fillcoff, fit and flirty Barbara Egarhos, party girl Katie Pitt, and primped perfectionist Myron Simic. James is sweating it out in the kitchen to try and walk away with the cash prize. First up is an appetizer of crab puffs. After a not so elaborate app the main course is served: halibut. But James must settle for cod when the store runs out of his first choice. For dessert: chocolate mousse is served. The night ends on a melodic note with a little serenade from James and his guitar. Can the try hard show off his soft side or will he be singing the blues?
