As she predicted, Makosi was triumphant in the quiz tonight, narrowly beating Craig.
The hapless Anthony, however, found himself some way behind the others. Embarrassed by his lack of general knowledge, he walked out to have a swim and was accused of spitting out his dummy.
"Is he a quitter? I think the answer is yes," said Derek, after Anthony got fed up with people laughing at his efforts.
"These insults... we're basing it on each person. What's the point in going on?" Anthony complained, incoherently.
"Take a joke. Lie down," said Makosi.
"No, I can't be a***d. It's too intense," said Anthony, taking his towel off to the pool.
Derek and Eugene acted as quiz masters, having dreamed up the questions as Craig and Makosi traded insults as they swapped the lead.
It started badly for Anthony, guessing that Gary Lineker was from Luton, not Leicester. And it got worse when he failed to pick Newcastle as one of three UK cities with an underground system.
He did score when asked to spell 'Adidas', thanks to his remembering the phrase 'All Day I Dream About Sex'.
Craig also slipped up when asked where in the UK Cowes was. "The north?" he said of the Isle of Wight port.
After Anthony's sudden departure, there was one question each left for Craig and Makosi. Craig couldn't spell eucalyptus but Makosi correctly divined that H2SO4 was sulphuric acid.
"No time for losers, cos we are the champions!" she sang heartily.
She had wanted to join Anthony in the pool "to see if he's all right" and maybe fulfil her other prediction of getting a man in bed tonight.
But guess who beat her to it? Craig wasn't going to come second twice.
