The guts has been taken out of this show:

1) arrive
2) hunt for hairs and dust
3) do an inane activity
4) have dinner
5) have breakfast
6) read feedback

The End.

Absolutely nothing about the area at all. Its all about the room inspection, the hairs, and getting each other back.
My fave bit used to be seeing at least a little bit about the area, and the brekkie, the latter gets about 30-60 seconds these days

Why did they put Tim in the twin room and Tudor and his assistant in the double room?

I really like this, But

Wish they'd get rid of the activity and meal out, show more of the b n bs and maybe the surrounding areas, why its good to stay there

And I would get rid of the feedback forms until payment day, too much hostility when someone has given a low score n won't come back, judge them without realising how they've rated you

I wish 4IAB was on at 5 with repeat at 6, it just made it more convenient to watch/ sort out dinner. I managed to see todays feedback but if I can be bothered I'll catch up when C4 uploads the eposode.

She thinks that fried bread causes obesity problems yet she dishes up fried egg dripping in fat and fat laden bacon and sausages??

Also a nasty dig as the two larger contestants about the dangerous table.
her friend isnt exactly stick thin either

And why is Tudors Wife not there ? - Whats the point in having an Assistant Manager in Felicity if she cannot be left to run his Hotel in their absence.

Why has no one questioned this, and will we see her in the final visit to Tudors Hotel.

On a general level the whole concept of the program is flawed - How many people would be bothered about a little bit of dust here and there. Far more important to me would be the price, a good shower, decent bed and good breakfast.

Wife is back at the ranch! I suspect she didn't want to be involved in the programme and that's why the assistant manager is with him, either that, or they don't trust the assistant to run their B&B.

Yes, the clue is in the name - "Assistant Manager".

It's just any excuse these days isn't it? My favourite is that one couple couldn't sleep because "they could smell the carpet". Perhaps I shouln't be so judgmental, the carpet could of course had baked beans for its tea and had a bad case of the windy farts ..
I can understand the objection as it was a new carpet, and the smell can be horrible if you're sensitive to smell as I am, and presumably they were, They weren't just claiming that the carpet smelt!

The most unreasonable complaints for me were the ones made by Mary the llama keeper. She complained of noise everywhere, the traffic on what I know to be a private no-through road, grass-cutting at 8 am, and my own favourite the noisy seagulls. At the seaside. Then it turned out that her own place was just yards from the A66 in Cumbria, the main east-west road...

I see we have the usual type who can't take any criticism and become nasties. The farmhouse was lovely but the bedroom decor was cheap and tacky. No-one would admire that woman and her blingy bedrooms as she seems to think. And those nails.

Love todays B&B, clearly Mr Ex Solicitor seems overly jealous of Tudor and the fact the other's like him and his B&B.

A good price for each room silly layout for the wardrobe and WOODEN loo seats?? yuck.

Pointless activity

Silly woman goes all 'Generation game' and thinks its funny to mess it up the activity.

Brekkie looked mediocre, tiny portion of beans and the wrong kind of egg served.

All in all a nice place at a good price.

Here comes the pickiness.

Those nails are horrible. Cruella Deville must be envious.

It really isn't about, or shouldn't be, decor or someone's nails. The colours may not have been to your taste, but the B&B appeared to give value for money, which is what the programme is supposed to be about. The couple seemed very pleasant, breakfasts were very big, but I guess she thinks that is giving value, not much profit though.

I think they've only been in business for about four weeks and are on the learning curve. The breakfast was way too big for me but people do like value for money, which they obviously give. Agree about the decor not being an intrinsical part of a B&B experience, perhaps the couple will learn from their FIAB experience? Hope so, the farmhouse was lovely.

£10 under, very harsh for a perfectly good sized brekkie.

Those boilers in all of the rooms, a tad dangerous.
