I was under the impression that they didn't know, in advance, where they were staying, so how come they were disappointed not staying in the yurts?

So the production team think it's quite normal that when contestants disappear half way through the show for it not to be mentioned by the other participants ?

He did not participate in the 4th visit or payment day (again, iIrc) and rumour on DS was that he'd got into a punchup with either another owner or someone on the production team and was 'dropped'.
A quick Google hasn't delivered any information about the Filey couple apart from a local radio interview which doesn't include info about their early exit.
Looking at the C4 website, it appears that the schedule has skipped a week.

Aah, yes. Kirribilli b and b in Newquay. He was the bloke who had his face painted like a snake in one activity.

The whole idea being that the precision is needed for his costings and profit margin. The precision is the lifeblood or oxygen of business.
Which made it all the more odd when his breakfast sausages weren't a uniform size and he dished out eggs like they grow on trees

But his sausages didn't come as 6 inches, he was rolling them out to make them 6 inches, so all he was doing was serving longer thinner ones rather than shorter, fatter ones. I'd probably prefer the fatter ones
All a bit daft really.His place was okay but could be a lot better with a little effort. He seemed to want to portray corporate and functional but the rooms just came across as drab and soul-less. There's nothing wrong with the rooms all being the same but a few flourishes and a bit of colour would work wonders. He probably needs to stay in one of his rooms and look at it a bit more objectively. Currently he seems to be offering a Travelodge type place at higher prices but as part of a family-owned pub set-up. Nothing especially wrong with Travelodges or his set-up but it didn't seem very exciting for £100 a night which I thought was a bit of a shame - he was just relying on his and his wife's personalities and his ability to exceed expectations to make the difference.

As some of you now know, we were not in today's episode of Four in a Bed. Unfortunately, during filming something came up at the hotel which meant that we couldn’t continue for the final two days. It was a shame because we were really looking forward to staying at Camp Katur www.campkatur.com!
Sorry that we couldn't say anything sooner, we were sworn to secrecy by the producers.
We loved being a part of the show and to be given the chance to show off our fantastic hometown of Filey and more importantly the Filey Lifeboat Station
Thank you so much for all the kind words and comments.
James and Kim
I would have thought that the other contestants would have mentioned it today
I guess they weren't looking forward to staying at today's place as they mentioned the final one”

There's not really much to say given that no reasons were mentioned, so it was probably handled as well as it could be. At least they got to show off their place - it would have been difficult for the producers if they'd been due to be on third or fourth!!
I have to agree with the comments about the Yorkshire guy, Mark. Calling his spouse "wife" is dreadful! Worse than when men refer to their spouses as "the wife", which is definitely a man thing. You never hear a woman calling her other half "the husband".
The eggs issue is so stupid, it is laughable. What an arrogant idiot to think he is giving added value. If I order scrambled, I only want scrambled. We all have things we cannot bear to have on our plates, so what makes him think he can override paying guests preferences?
His place did not impress me one bit. The rooms were unwelcoming and I would not want to linger in them more than necessary.
We have a number of friends in Yorkshire, and visit regularly. We always find Yorkshire folk to be friendly, welcoming and usually great fun. We never go into a pub without being drawn into a conversation by strangers, and having a very pleasant time.
Sadly, Mark appears to be the exception to the rule. His arrogance is astounding in someone who has a wonderful opportunity to showcase his business on national TV. He seems to think he is being clever; sadly, he is not being at all clever. Just the opposite in fact.

Don't know why I keep forgetting this show is on at 4. I wish I had the reminder function back on my Sky Q box.
He's so rude. A basket weaving degree? Is he saying because she is a young blonde woman she can't have a business degree.
Him and his ruddy sausages! Saying that the blonde woman said she couldn't be like Yorkshire man but she is in her OCD with cleanliness.

He tries to give the impression of being jolly but he's of the caveman variety and I don't find him funny.

Me neither. He's pathetic. Like someone from a bad 70's sitcom with his neanderthal views.
