Neither of them had particularly clean looking or well cared for nails.
Yes, he did underpay a lot and by comparison with the small single room he provided as well, albeit in a much nicer (to me) location. I was surprised, but I don't think there was any game playing or malice on his part, it was simply a genuinely held view and Blackpool is not for him, nor is that kind of hotel. He had a point about the Roulottes too, being charged exactly the same as couples, I would have thought they should have said at least £20 less for him. I wouldn't think they usually rent for one night and not for a single traveller either. |

... Stephen ... I think he felt a bit out on a limb there, by himself.
Not that he's unable to hold his own or anything even approaching that, but hard for him to complete the same judging as a couple if he hasn't been provided for as a single. There are lots of single proprietors on 4inaBed so why not do a singles week for travellers too? Quote:
Has anyone answered the $64000 question? Where did Sophie sleep all week?

I don't know what the interview/selection/audition process for this show is but I take it that during it Tony & Jeanette, by just being their normal selves, were identified by producers as a right pair of nasty sods that would make good tv. At the same time T&J would be totally oblivious to it thinking they were progressing because they were so wonderful.

Eek! Is that really Dr. Simon's review on Trip Advisor re Ye Olde Fighting Cocks - mouldy mattress?
Or is it a fake? And Andrew K's directly beneath it - disgusting?

That Jeanette and Tony have been through all their reviews on Trip Advisor on 13th November and answered everyone.
![]() The last 2 reviews are new and probably written by people who saw 4IAB. Quote:
Had a lovely time staying here but the mattress was very very mouldy. Lovely area to visit and the breakfast was super but the mattress was mouldy. I would stay again if in the area but I would insist on a non-mouldy mattress. Lively bar area with friendly locals but after the bar closed I had to sleep on a mouldy mattress
Quote:
Very arrogant people, the bedroom was filthy! We found hair under our pillow. The breakfast was a greecy mess, which they repeatedly got our order wrong. When the breakfast did arrive it was cold. The rooms were also extremely hot, the heating needed to be turned down. The location was the only good thing about the hotel.
A bit naughty IMO.

Well I for one would much rather stay in Stephens higgledy piggledy home than their concentration camp, thats for sure, I am sure you would receive a lovely relaxing time with him. OK it may not be perfect but I would rather have imperfection than ignorance.

![]() I truly think it was part of the pattern though. I record FIAB to watch late in the evening, and after reading this thread, I put it on again and paused it to have a really good look. The markings were in a pattern - too regular to be mildew. |

Tony can't believe everyone isn't as big a barsteward as he is and is shattered that they've given fair payments, something that obviously never crossed his mind to do. Despicable person.

To quote James May "Oh Cock!"
And did you see the state that T&J left the room in at Stephen's place? The left the bedspread on the floor for a start which is really rude considering it is primarily Stephen's home and secondly his business, not some bought of the shelf pub. |

So so unfair although if they thought they won I think they may need to rethink that one as I don't know anyone who would stay at their place after this has shown what the hosts are really like and by their own confession they were just being themselves so they cannot say they weren't now.

Just watching the repeat of the final episode and Averil saying to an emotional Tony 'I like a man who is in touch with his feminine side'....
I cannot believe she actually said that |

I strongly agree that the producers should change the final question to, "If you were in the area, would you stay here again?" Honestly felt so sorry for Sophie and Gary that everyone said no, mainly because they just didn't like Blackpool.
Or, add another comments section next to it! Also, has anyone ever discussed why exactly the owners get to read their feedback straight after the guests/competition have left? So obviously a bad idea because then they get to tailor their feedback to what they've received! |

Both obviously fake reviews because simon's is needling the mattress-gate affair and Andrew comes over as a complete fool because he has described the situation at the Elgin Hotel with Gary and the slapped-arse-faced Sophie.

If they weren't allowed to read the feedback forms until the end of the week it would make the competition much fairer but far less entertaining! |

It's almost as if the production team arrange things deliberately to stir things up. Surely they don't mean that to happen!
