Each batch made up of two pairs of Housemates had 30 minutes to make their meals and they hurried to make sure their meals were ready before the buzzer went off.
The cultural presentation
Dressed in their native attires, the housemates made their way to the arena batch by batch to present the dishes they made.
First, they had to taste each other’s meals then share their culture and the recipe for the meal.

Twisted scores result in monetary prize
Biggie awarded the 14 Housemates all the cash prizes of N4 million courtesy of Indomie. Each team got a total of N570,000 but the twist was the sharing formulae. The scores given to each partner were reversed so each Housemate had the score they gave their partners while their partners had the score they gave them.
