We were in joyville on this week's Come Dine with Me South Africa with an episode that was wonderful to watch.

The four hosts were perfectly cast and we laughed so much we ended up unable to breathe by the end.

Sort of like crazy Jodi who finished us off with her mess of a menu and frenzied preparation that got so intense her trousers were unable to cope.

This was made even tastier by kinky Reubylee who didn't take anything seriously with her whips and witty, busty confessionals.

Add a twist of teetotaller Kyla in her huge, heavy jackets and stir it with a spritz of snazz, hobby drinker Thato and you had a recipe for one of the best episodes of the series yet.

Deservedly won by Thato who scored one of the highest scores we've seen too.

These were everyone's recipes:
