My Kitchen Rules Australia: Season 9 (Sky Living) on tonight

[StripySocksAndDocs]

at 6.30

Pete, Manu, and Colin too!

The instant and pop up restaurants! The challenges! Cook offs!!

Contestants to love and loath!! And probably a bit of food too...

Do not Google anything

I bet that Pete and Manu were away from the table so a lot of that because I can't believe they'd behave so awfully otherwise.

Hadil was out of order and Sonja was joining in with her 'I'm coming for you" comments. Somepeople believe this type of behaviour makes you strong, confident and not to be messed with. It's adult tantrumping. Their options aren't facts.

I already knew the winners (thanks a lot Facebook) so had a spy on Instagram, obvs do not do this if you're watching at the UK pace. No spoilers will follow.

Emma's bio lists her profession as blowtorch operator. Anna and Henry's Instagram is adorable and kitsch in the best way. I suggest you have a spy when the final has been on.

MKR confirmed there was a physical altercation at the hotel in Tasmania two days before last night's episode. It was reported as a group of contestants taking on a room. S&H heard, came in a row started which led to shoving. It makes more sense that Manu addresses the team and reminds them to act in a more adult way. I'm interested in finding out what happens tonight.

I'm tired of spiteful arseholes getting airtime though, something had to be done because it's a farce. I hate all of the nonsense and they had to do something after Josh.

Some of the comments on posts are absolutely disgusting Hadil is bearing the brunt but a lot of the women are targeted. I love MKR and Masterchef Australia, the latter is all about food which is great. I bet the contestants don't all get along, especially if they live in the same house.

Well. Who's watched tonight's?

Penalty is a tough one!!

Watching now!

Just finished

I meant to put more!

I thought they were goners. Such a shame about the pheasant. I don’t think they’ll have that long left in MKR hq. I’m guessing a truffle Russian final.

Just watched it, surprised Sonja and Hadil have been kicked out completely. But I think it is the right thing, I want to google it to find out a bit more about them leaving and what happened to them after but I don’t want to see the result so will wait until it is over.

Shame Stella and jazzy didn’t do so well. I think it will be Jess and Emma unless Alex and Emily crash and burn.

Lol interesting terminology given he might be off in the ambulance 😬😁

Actually it is possible Alex and Emily crash and burn, the time restraint could cause a freak out.

I’m glad Sonja and Hadil have gone, back to being more about food. Though with them gone the nasty streak in the two sisters is surfacing again.

Thanks for that info TechnicalSergeantGarp . It makes sense of why S and H arrived full of vitriol at Kim and Suong's. I'm assuming Jess and Emma were being less than complimentary about the pair in their hotel room. I'd love to know who else was there. S and H had obviously never heard that people who listen at keyholes never hear good of themselves!

In Russia, if someone disappears you learn not to ask questions. 😂

I’m glad they’re gone, they were absolutely dreadful yesterday.

I've really warmed to the Russians - they have always been 'hard but fair' in their scoring, and I think as the competition has gone on, the rest of the teams have realised this.

I felt that they let the S and H thing at the dinnertable go on far too long. Also I feel like some show 'scripter' maybe wound them up, gave them roles and a bit of a green light, and it went a bit too far.

I think there were a number of rows o er a few weeks and the worst bits of H&S were shown. I also think Pete and Manu weren't at the table the whole time so they didn't think it would be shown. They were baiting and bullying for a row in the worst high school kind of way and that's why they had to go. There has always been a pantomime villain cast but this year was ridiculous.

It's obviously reality TV but the focus in food has been lost. I want to look at a meal and wonder how they've done such an amazing job. I'm not inspired by much of the food this time.

Some background and personality is important, for the S&H there's an Anna and Henry. I luffs Anna.

I remember a clip with someone being told to sit down - was this Roula?

Anybody else sitting here Rollin their eyes?

I can't watch this live - have to fast forward through lots of Alex & Emily prep time 🙄

Did I miss a bit that explained whether or not the current teams are cooking the same number of dishes as the teams that cooked pre-the expulsion of S and H? I registered the bit where the scores were adjusted by taking off S and H's scores but suddenly wondered how they have adjusted things now there are fewer dishes to bring out?

Also, can anyone explain why the teams at the table don't get one of each of the choices rather than 2 the same?

And while I'm at it, does anyone know if they get a wardrobe fee?

As for tonight's episode, well, sadly they managed to pull through didn't they? But lovely to see such fair scoring from the sisters and the Russians.

I was surprised Kim didn't go with Suong in the ambulance

When I first found out someone was going to be booted off, I would have said the Russians. I think they’re great now.

Hope Suong is ok, but yeah a bit odd that Kim didn’t go with her.

Fair point about the other team not having to cook an extra two meals. Seems a bit unfair.

Not going to lie, I'm sad they got through.

Poor Suong. I had to google “MKR Alex Emily ambulance” when he got chilli in his eye to check he didn’t go on to slice his hand off or something 😂
Apparently she had an internal virus and had been feeling it for most of the ultimate instant restaurants but assumes it was period pain or something.

I’m looking forward to the Russians cooking. I hope they go top of the leaderboard.

Ugh that whinning sound of her voice and he is soooo Mr Knowit all of the cooking world. Their favourite phrase "This is so us". Someone give me food poisoning now!

"Because we're so madly in love"
Please!

"We want it more"
No you don't. You stupidly hatted arse.

"I'm so proud of you"

I'm deeply cynical and suspicious since Pete said he could see them winning the whole thing after they'd screwed up yet another challenge.

Maybe I've been with my oh for way too long. That kind of over the top lovey doviness screams protesting too much. Maybe Emily has been editted to look like an annoying girly princess type? Her voice is grating on me. Alex is a knob.

I think it was ok for Kim to wait to score before going to hospital. They are clearly good friends.

I watch with DH in the room and he found it hilarious that Kim’s comment about concerns about the future was all about the competition 😁

The twat in the hat does my nut in. He’s a bit like the American Jamie Oliver. I was hoping he’d be whisked off in the ambulance with the chilli incident.

I love this program so much, me and husband always laugh at how many episodes there are like 100! Lol
I have seen who won by accident (annoyingly on fb!) But still watching, im warming to russians really didnt like them when started and so glad girls have gone they were awful!
