Steve & Helen - 38
Simon & Meg - 37

Wow, it was such an epic battle! So close, so suspenseful! My two favourite teams battling it out for survival!

I will miss Simon & Meg so much! I loved this couple from the moment we met them, and they will be sorely missed!

Meanwhile, Steve & Helen - I hope - can avoid being in the bottom for a while!

So now, every night, one team will go home every night, and all the eliminated teams are returning for a jury!!

[racer]

My Predictions for the rest of this competition:

Show content

So at the moment, there are seven teams left:

Steve & Helen (NSW)
David & Scott (QLD)
Carly & Emily (VIC)
Leigh & Jennifer (SA)
Nic & Rocco (SA)
Megan & Andy (TAS)
Angela & Justine (WA)

I'm going to predict that Carly & Emily and David & Scott are the next two teams to go home, in any order. And then I'm going to predict Nic & Rocco to go home in fifth place, because they are way too inconsistent.

This will leave the Final Four of Steve & Helen, Megan & Andy, Angela & Justine and Leigh & Jennifer. It's impossible to know exactly how the competition format will be this year, but last year the Final Four were split into two Semi Finals.

I'll predict that Steve & Helen and Megan & Andy go home there, unless of course they face off against each other.

I'm predicting a Final Two of Leigh & Jennifer and Angela & Justine, with the former winning the competition. These two teams are definitely NOT the two best cooks in the competition, but they are definitely the most consistent two teams, which is why I think they will make it to the very end.

Hope you guys enjoyed my random predictions! I wonder how much of it will turn out to be true!

Monday 19th March Episode:

Show content

Wow, I think I completely jinxed it for Angela & Justine by predicting them to be runner-ups, and TAR21 predicted them to win, so we both completely jinxed it!

The first round was interesting. Angela & Justine had some bad luck, and the jury fairly put them in the Sudden Death Cook-Off. But I disagreed with the judge's decision to place Megan & Andy (TAS) in the cook-off, as I thought that - based on the comments made by the judges - Carly & Emily's dish was worse.

I was definitely cheering for Megan & Andy in the cook-off, as they are now my second favourites, with Simon & meg having departed. Having said that, Angela & Justine (WA) are immensely likeable too! They seem like very genuine, loveable people, and they seem like awesome friends!

The judges scored:

Megan & Andy - 57
Angela & Justine - 47

Teams cooked their 'Signature Dish'. Angela & Justine's Vietnamese-style duck impressed the judges, earning an '8' from 5 judges and a '7' from one judge.

However, Manu Feildel and Pete Evans thought that Megan & Andy's seafood dish was the best dish of the competition so far! They received three 10s and three 9s.

Angela & Justine will definitely be missed! They had too much potential to be leaving in 7th place. I think it is time for Carly & Emily to go home - they are good cooks, but their opponents are better.

[Aussie]

I was really saddened that Angela and Justine went home They had a lot of potential.

I was really saddened that Angela and Justine went home They had a lot of potential.

Definitely! They were so consistent. It's a shame that just one bad dish was enough to send them home.

Tuesday 20th March episode:

Show content

Teams had to make a dish of cheese.

Meanwhile, the jury decided that they wanted the strongest teams to suffer in a Sudden Death Cook-Off for some reason. Maybe because they are just bitter.

So the jury wrongly put Leigh & Jennifer (SA) into the Bottom Two, leaving the judges with an easy choice to place David & Scott (QLD) in there, since David & Scott's scallops were not cooked.

The cook-off was intense! Two seafood dishes with the narrowest of margins again, but the final score was:

Leigh & Jennifer - 52
David & Scott - 49

David & Scott will be missed! I think they were possibly the weakest remaining team, but I still will miss them, as they had awesome dynamics in the kitchen and great personalities!

I hope Leigh & Jennifer won't get targeted by the jury again. And I hope Steve & Helen and Megan & Andy continue to prosper!

Wednesday 21st March episode:

Show content

So yesterday, the Final Five had to cook a dish with Citrus.

The jury deemed Megan & Andy (TAS) to be the weakest, even though Peter & Gary (QLD) vocalised their disagreeance with this decision.

Meanwhile, the judges placed Steve & Helen (NSW) in the Bottom Two.

As usual, my two favourites have to cook off and one has to go home!

Megan & Andy - 50
Steve & Helen - 36

I was a little surprised by the results, because the judges gave such positive comments to Steve & Helen, but all gave them a score of 6 each. :/

So Megan & Andy join Nic & Rocco, Leigh & Jennifer and Carly & Emily in the Final Four.

I'm cheering for Megan & Andy, followed by Leigh & Jennifer!!!

I will definitely miss Steve & Helen!

[Aussie]

eurgh I can't stand Megan and Andy. I'll be happy with any other team winning!

Last night's episode - Thu 22nd March:

Show content

This was an episode to determine rankings for the Semi-Finals. Two challenges - whoever placed 1st will cook against 4th place, while 2nd and 3rd will face off against each other.

So firstly, teams had to cook a dish using an ingredient chosen by the jury - CHILLI!!! (I love chilli!!! )

But the twist was that for the first 15 minutes, only one person can cook, and then they need to swap at the half-way mark and the other person will cook for the next 15 minutes.

The teams scored:

Carly & Emily (VIC) - 18
Leigh & Jennifer (SA) - 17
Megan & Andy (TAS) - 15
Nic & Rocco (SA) - 14

In the next round, teams were given creative freedom to produce any dish they liked, with a 90 minute time limit.

Leigh & Jennifer's massaman curry dish and Nic & Rocco's macarons blew the judges away, each collecting perfect 10s. As a result, the final scores were:

Leigh & Jennifer (SA) - 37
Carly & Emily (VIC) - 36
Nic & Rocco (SA)- 34
Megan & Andy (TAS) - 32

This means that on Sunday night, my two faves Leigh & Jennifer and Megan & Andy will cook off for a spot in the Grand Final. Then, on Monday night, Carly & Emily and Nic & Rocco will cook off for the second spot in the Grand Final. And Tuesday night is the finale (2hrs I think).

I hope it is an all-South-Australian finale! That would be epic!!! I want Megan & Andy to win, but after barely escaping elimination in virtually every round, I don't have much confidence in them, which is why I would like Leigh & Jennifer to win that cook-off and then take home the finale. I'm not a big fan of the two teams in the other Semi Final, particularly Carly & Emily.

Realy because if anything not a fan of the teams in Semi 1 but love the teams in Semi 2.

Side note acording to the gossip magizenes Carly and Rocco are going out , my older sister is devistated.

Sun 25th March - Semi Final #1:

Show content

Leigh & Jennifer - 52
Megan & Andy - 46

It was an intense semi final! Very close indeed!

Both teams pulled off very yummy looking dishes and it was anyone's game! Once again, based on the judge's comments, I thought Megan & Andy would win. The judges comments seemed a lot mroe positive for Megan & Andy, but not the scores!

Interestingly, the two female judges found a piece of gravel in Leigh & Jennifer's main course! That seemed to have a minor impact on their scores. I hope Leigh & Jennifer don't make that sort of mistake in the Final!

I hope Nic & Rocco can win tomorrow, although I just want Leigh & Jennifer to win the whole thing, regardless of who they cook against!

[racer]

Semi Final 2 Results:

Show content

Nic & Rocco - 44
Carly & Emily - 43

Considering that Megan & Andy scored higher than both of these teams, I think that proved that Megan & Andy were actually the 2nd best cooks in the competition, behind Leigh & Jennifer. The same thing happened last season - the winners Sammy & Bella defeated Daniela & Stefania in one of the Semi Finals, but Daniela & Stefania had scored around 10 more points than both teams in the other semi.

So in less than 10 minutes, it's GRAND FINAL TIME!!!!!! Leigh & Jennifer vs Nic & Rocco - it is going to be South Australia vs. South Australia!

Clearly Leigh & Jennifer are the more consistent team. However, this could still go either way, because when Nic & Rocco perform at their best, they are impeccable. However, they are extremely inconsistent. I wonder how they will perform! It is hard to predict!

Cheering for Leigh & Jennifer!!! Bring it home, girls!!!

[Aussie]

I'm fine with either team winning! They both deserve it!

Congratulations to LEIGH & JENNIFER (South Australia) - the winners of My Kitchen Rules 2012!!!

Definitely the most consistent team won! Both teams were amazing tonight, but the girls won the battle! Impressive performance! They definitely deserved it!

And so after three seasons, I actually love all three MKR winners, which is something that doesn't happen very often with other reality shows!

Can't wait until the next season!!!

[Aussie]

I'm really happy for Leigh & Jennifer! They deserved it!   

Next season I hope we get some weird trainwreck teams!

Cool! I want to see it! Is the Australian version on Youtube by any chance?

[racer]

I'm not sure whether or not the episodes are available on YouTube, but I think you should be able to find them somewhere! I'm not sure whether or not people outside Australia can watch the videos on the Seven website?

Interesting that the US has bought it! It is a great show and I can't wait for the US version! But I wonder how will it work? In Australia, each team represents their state. Does this mean there will there be like 50 teams on the US version?

Tuesday 6th March episode:

So tonight, teams had to prepare food and serve it to the people of Melbourne during lunch time. The team who raised the most money would win the People's Choice and grant them Immunity for the rest of this round.

The Top Two was revealed to be Steve & Helen (NSW) and last week's People's Choice winners, Carly & Emily (VIC). But by less than $20, Steve & Helen pulled home the victory!!!

Then, the judges deemed Peter & Gary's (QLD) dish to be the weakest, and they are up for elimination, having to cook at the next cook-off.

Whoever goes up against Peter & Gary, I will be cheering for that team! I hope we can get rid of Peter & Gary for good!!!

Raindom Queston : If you could pick any team from The Amazing Race (any verson) to compeate in MKR, who would it be ? and vice vercer any MKR team to go on TAR , who would it be ?

I don't know which TAR team I would put on MKR, but definitely someone who can cook! As for MKR teams competing on TAR (Australia) I would definitely put the Season 2 winners, who are:

Sammy & Bella

and I think they'd do well!

From the current season, I'd put David & Scott, Nic & Rocco or Carly & Emily on TAR, as I think they'd have the best shot.

I know this is a random post, about a show that was on last year... but this is DAVID of David & Scott .. thanks for your comments on the show. I loved being a part of it & ID defo give TAR a go... LOL  x
