On this edition, Zeina and Passant joined the desk to settle a series of superlatives. The best steak belongs to Wella, an amazing chef. The worst food ever tried belongs to Morcos. The best song of the period is Hamo Eltikha with a symphony orchestra. The best life advice comes from Malek, of Ali El Bahtimy, who reportedly changed lives. The best account for learning English is Motaz Alaa. The most unproductive person is Farida El Zoghbi, and the best source of self-care videos is Sherry Hussien.

The segment then turned to English itself and deteriorated. Passant, at level one, was encouraged to message Motaz and to listen more; Zeina advised her to begin speaking. The question arose of whether Omar could speak as Motaz does, and Zeina advised him, too, to catch up. Passant suggested Zeina's own English was not as capable as claimed.

Zeina accused Passant of jealousy. Passant told Zeina to improve so the two could hold a conversation. A fight ensued. Zeina announced that, from this point forward, they would be professional, and that the proper address is hadretek, not enty.

Those were the headlines. I was Omar Sadek with you from TNN.
