Massive Disclaimer: I only tuned into My Kitchen Rules tonight for the grand final episode because not even Manu’s charming everything can get me past the drama when all I want is food porn. Sorry not sorry MKR.
And I feel like I’m cheating on Masterchef even though George is a shit.
So judging from tonight’s episode, I’m going to make an educated guess this season favourites won again because Kim and Suong, though Suong screwed up a lot, appeared to be the better cooks and more liked? While Emily in particular… is she okay?
It was a deflating ending and I’m glad I didn’t watch the entire season.
Since Alex and Emily were declared winners, a lot of people have passionately typed into the twitter abyss that they’re absolutely out of fucks to give for the show.
After receiving a 10 in the grand final, Queensland’s Alex and Emily took the win over Kim and Suong in a five-course battle.
Alex and Emily earned a total of 55/60 points while the crowd favourites fell short by three with a final score of 52/60. And it may or may not have to do with Suong’s not so delicate hands. Maybe.
The winning couple served up a theatrical dessert – a lemon parfait with whiskey caramel, honeycomb and heaps of ginger stuff. Oh and dry ice for the ~ theatrics ~. The judges absolutely frothed it because it was ~ theatrical ~.
MKR, being cute, posted a little GIF to congratulate the Champions of 2018.
Alex & Emily are the #MKR Champions of 2018! ✨👏 pic.twitter.com/FnyzpGaSxp

And then it begins.
#MKR am gutted that Kim and Suong didn’t win. Can someone explain how a score of 10 can be given when one of the courses plainly missed the mark?

Officially done with this show. My favs weren’t cooking so didn’t care who won but after watching tonight’s episode, it’s so clear that the better team didn’t win on the night

I was a massive fan of #MKR and always thought yeah some decisions they made in previous years could have gone either way and come to find myself accepting it. But this, this is it for me, they have definitely lost me as a viewer after this and i’m sure alot of others too. BAD!

And there’s a helluva lot more comments coming in by the minute.
But there is a silver lining to all of this.
