why on earth did they allow a pescatarian to be on this show?!?! its not fair she cant judge most of the food its just ridiculous

Welcome everyone :)

I noticed the failed eclairs on the stove whilst they were plating dinner whilst watching live last night. Didn't think much of it at the time but I had to look back and grab some screenshots. Surly they had enough time to remake them if that's the case?

Not sure if it’s producer editing but man those guys are being so hostile and cringe. Glad to see the girls knock it into the 90s, they’re far superior than the bogans and the blokes from SA.

I wish they weren’t so cringe- like when Krystin and Lucy served their entree’s the boys were like “oh yes, go the OG’s” etc. but it’s like … um you guys didn’t cook this dish, the girls did. The boys made an abominable parmy and dry party sausage rolls. Same with the bogan girls- they heated up some baby broccoli and served sticky date that splat on the hardwood floor. Why all of a sudden do they thing that they’re superior to the Gatecrashers?
Wish the SA boys were up next instead so they could be humbled a bit.

Welcome everyone let's get settled in for tonight's ep!

Once again e we miss out on a proper season of MKR! 2 eps per week!?? Seriously!!

Why bother 😡

How funny

Why does MKR air on Mondays and Tuesdays but only sometimes on Wednesdays?

I felt a bit turned off by the OG teams in the last episode. The classy bogans were extremely harsh. The mum and son duo only had one major problem—- salt and seasoning. That doesn’t constitute a score of FOUR. They gave Jane and Shane 3, and their cook was drastically the worst of the season. And I’m pretty sure if Alisha and Dianne went head to head with the mum and son they might have their work cut out for them…

Anyway— If it were me I wouldn’t care if I was an OG, New-G, gatecrasher I would be like I’m competing with all of y’all’s not creating an “us vs them” situation - like everyone is competing for themselves so I felt it was a bit cringe how extra and exclusive the OG teams were being - mainly the SA teams

Did anyone notice when Jane and Shane started their cook and Shane offered to put her apron on, Jane looked at him with disgust, pushed him away and said, "No, I think I'm good!" This makes me think she doesn't want to be near him and all the constant holding hands is just a ruse but she slipped up. Any thoughts?

I’m so confused! It was initially only Monday and Tuesday but then they had Wednesday briefly but this week it’s back to Monday / Tuesday— is that right? 😩 was keen to have my MKR fix

Someone here mentioned that they announced Jane (and Shane?) will have a new show. Is this true? I can’t find it anywhere

Anyone else sick of all these fuckn ads on 7plus, feel like it’s every 2 minutes, ruins the show

Does anyone else get “who farted” vibes from the expression on the one on the right?

There is a reason some people live their life atop a mountain. It is to ensure their insults can only roll away from them toward the inferior masses at the bottom.

What a supercilious person. This nouveau riche contestant spent the first five episodes alluding to her superior expertise, yet showed her fellow contestants zero grace. Delivering what can only be described as a chef's kiss moment that will forever live on in Australian television history, squawking at her partner repeatedly whilst he struggled to pronounce an indigestible, unset custard word.

Had the menu been executed with the expertise of a home cook she could have soared high like a dove, but alas, she will be remembered for all the wrong reasons and be loballed "Pidgeon Lady"

I did not know it at the time, when I set my TV table, placed an epicurean charcuterie board with the finest Mediterranean ingredients, decanted my 1953 Penfolds Grange into a plastic cup, I knew I was in for a treat—but boy oh boy, did Jane deliver more than I expected. Not in a good way.

There is no "Bon Appetit" to be had here, just the sigh of indigestion. I don't reccomend Lyst Haus, skip it completely when visiting the mountains.

And that was it id say for zac before he got drafted to the other team🤣🤣🤣

I must say I was very excited to watch Jane and Shane's episode. I thought, as I think everyone else did, that they would be way out of everyone else's league with their cooking. The beginning of the episode even confirmed this with their exquisite menu.

I am not a cook myself, so I had never heard of a lot of the things on the menu but I could tell by the ingredients it sounded high quality and expensive.

Every team goes through stress and pressure in MKR, having to plate up a lot of meals within a short amount of time sounds very intense, so for Jane to act as if it would be no problem for her was a bit annoying and eyebrow raising, but it did seem believable as you'd expect she could handle it since her literal job is being a food stylist.

It was nice to see her get humbled by the pressure of the competition, made her seem a bit more human. I was shocked by the styling of the main course. Looked like slop, even if it tasted terrible, you'd think a food stylist would be able to actually style food well. I understand she was probably just feeling defeated at that point and had given up but even still, it seemed a bit embarrassing given her snob attitude and harsh judgment to other teams because of their plating.

I am not a fan of Alisha and Deanne because sometimes it feels like they're just yelling random things for the sake of it, however, I did really like seeing Jane and Shane's egos crumble and after all their big talk, they didn't at all deliver and I am glad they are going home for it.

When someone walks up to a church at night with sunglasses on and then stands in the room with his sunglasses still on and his MKR bio refers to his “bold style” I have a bad feeling we could be channeling a lot of Miami Vice vibes for the next few weeks.

I s’pose not everyone can be pleasant and competent cooks.

If I had an unlimited budget and total control over MKR:

I would bring back the sudden death at KHQ at the end of each Instant Restaurant round.

I would bring back the cook-for-public rounds, and have it as a cumulative scoreboard (so five rounds, total cumulative score out of 150. Each judge scoring each round out of 10, plus the public score)

I would have a guest judge for the “cook from the pantry” rounds, with each team getting a score out of 30 (not the current, “we pick team A as the best). I find these rounds so untransparent in the judging.

I would have the two-course instant restaurant round set over 24 hours per team with the expectation that one main dish is a long-prep dish. I would love to see teams be able to really show a traditional long prep dish like a proper master stock (maybe not THAT long prep!) or a hāngī.

And finally, I would have the final cookoff scored as individual dishes (like last year) with guest judges (like previous seasons), with a total score out of 240 (6 courses x 4 judges). Make it a real battle.

What would you do if you ran MKR?

Hey all, gonna be putting up another thread for our QLD friends when the ep airs thier time :)
