My Kitchen Rules AU S10

Mr E · 03-02-2019 6:26pm #1

Season 10 of one of my favourite reality TV shows started last Monday. Good season so far, no change to the usual formula.

There are two born again Christian brothers who are absolute GOBSHITES. No social skills and no filter. There is NO WAY that they are are legit contestants. I think they are actors, or they are plants by the producers - either way, they no chance of winning (unless they have some sort of redemption arc in their script).

Seems to be a bit of a backlash against them online too.

Anyone watching?

(Australia only for now, usually over here in September).

How are you watching Mr E? One of my fave shows too. Delighted it's back!

stargazer 68 · 03-02-2019 6:29pm

Yep love it! Was thinking the same thing about the 2 brothers. The younger one just agrees with his brother- no opinion himself

Wish they would all eat and comment before Pete and Manu do- they all just copy what they say.

Ah I think you can guess the answer to that one.

I see Episode 1 is on youtube if you want a taster.

Can I also say that 1h20m is too long? I think they were about an hour last year and that was a much better length.

crustybla · 03-02-2019 6:46pm

:DI sure can, where there's a will...

Yeah an hour is enough. Looking forward to getting stuck into the characters. It'll be hard to beat the Jordanians and the Russians from last year, they were some craic.

S.M.B. · 03-02-2019 7:40pm

1 hour 20 minute episodes? Is that just for an opening episode? Or will all episodes be that long? That's absurd if so. Australian reality TV while great at times can be drawn out far too much.

All been that so far. Seems to go on forever!

Mr E · 03-02-2019 8:28pm

Just finished the 4th one. 1h 25m.

For a show that's going to be on until early May, it's definitely a commitment!

And those two boys are definitely being fed lines off camera. I'm almost looking for an earpiece at this stage.

Muahahaha · 03-02-2019 9:12pm

Havent seen any of it yet so will probably wait till it comes to Living or some other Sky channel later in the year. 1hr25 mins is quite the lengh especially as the entire show can stretch to 60 odd episodes. Please someone say Colin Fastnitch is in this series? Always enjoyed his growling and witty one liners.

Mr E · 04-02-2019 1:00am

I assume he'll turn up after the instant restaurant rounds.

He's not the growler he once was either... he's quite likable now!

Mr E · 04-02-2019 10:31pm

Peruvian girls did well.
Those two kids are still dickheads.

Scoring fairly though!

Mr E · 05-02-2019 9:50pm

That's true (which adds weight to my theory that they are being coached/fed lines by the producers behind the scenes). Sometimes they are normal and even likable.

Rough one tonight. Bit of a disaster for that team. Looking forward to tomorrow (and REALLY looking forward to Sunday!)

Mr E · 07-02-2019 12:37am

The promo for Sunday looks amazing. I think I'll be watching through my fingers. :pac:

Mr E · 11-02-2019 12:19am

Well that was painful as I thought it would be.

I still think Josh and Austin are plants though. They were never meant to make it past the first round.

stargazer 68 · 11-02-2019 10:37am

Yep me too. How on earth they would attempt to cook for 16 on a 1970's style cooker!
See Colin is back though

Mr E · 11-02-2019 11:13pm

These episodes are just too long.

I enjoyed it though (despite the result).

The new group seem like a good bunch.
Looking forward to seeing "meh" girl Bianca crash and burn.

Mr E · 12-02-2019 11:58pm

Yikes. That team are going to go far. What a feel good episode.

Karolina is great fun and Milly is lovely. Such different personalities. Chalk and cheese....

stargazer 68 · 13-02-2019 10:39am

You wonder how much of what is said at the table and the 'personalities' is actually real
Always wonder why they plate 20 plates or thereabouts when there are only 16 at the table- could clearly count 20 lamb shank dishes

Mr E · 20-02-2019 9:45pm

I haven't watched today yet, but up to yesterday on group 2... a mixed bag but mostly a high standard. Probably better overall than group 1 I think?

Can't believe that trans comment. That was a bit of a shocker. I was watching that whole sequence with my hand over my mouth. :eek:

I know - she was mortified. Both of them were. I think she was just relaxed and it came out without thinking!

stargazer 68 · 28-02-2019 1:48pm

Well you gotta love a bit of Colin

Mr E · 28-02-2019 2:36pm

I'm a couple behind (I need to watch group 2 face-off tonight) but Karolina and Milly were the sh*tshow that everyone expected.

Oil and water.

Caught up yet??

Mr E · 05-03-2019 1:15pm

Yeah - haven't watched yesterday's though.

(Looking forward to it - looks like the two boys get a roasting)

I'm not surprised about who went home (in the cook off or the first proper elimination).

Mr E · 19-03-2019 12:48am

I got up to date with this today. The open houses are good fun.
Really weird seeing oddly placed tables for two in the bedroom though.

The promos for upcoming episodes are starting to grate a bit.
They edit them to make the next episode look great, but they end up being a let-down and nowhere near as interesting.

claregal1 · 19-03-2019 1:01am

Hi is series 10 on Sky?

Mr E · 19-03-2019 1:05am

It usually starts on Living in September or October....

stargazer 68 · 02-04-2019 12:45pm

Please tell me you are up to date folks

:0

Mr E · 02-04-2019 3:01pm

Two behind. Haven't started the Super Dinner Parties yet.

Loved the drama with Piper last week...

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

This is good stuff.

A little devil on my shoulder says it's somewhat staged though. Victor's moods were a bit OTT.

Ah yeah. As scripted as home and away

Mr E · 02-04-2019 10:03pm

Strewth!

Mr E · 06-04-2019 4:31pm

OK up to date now. Jesus, Piper is never going to live this down. This show has been a character assassination for her.

Tomorrow looks like it will be very good. I've no idea who is cooking, I think they skipped over that.

Cant remember myself! Looking forward to their turn though!

Think it's either Ibby/Romell or John/Mammy, looking at who was round the table... They're all in white so I think it's Ibby/Romell. Cannot wait to see the continuing fall out!

Edit - scratch that, just spotted Ibby at the table, must be John & Mammy

stargazer 68 · 15-04-2019 11:38am

Are we all caught up on the start of the final episodes??

No! I'm just at piper/veronicas ultimate restaurant. Clusterf*£@!

Mr E · 16-04-2019 9:01am

I've watched up to the first quarter final. I think

Ibby and Romel

will be tough to beat.

Looks like the scriptwriters didn't know how to write a good ending for the Piper/Victor storyline. :pac:
It all fell a bit flat in the end...

stargazer 68 · 16-04-2019 9:27am

Note the way they didn't show the girls families meeting them - straight to the shops with them! I was waiting to see who was there - husband??

Definitely an anti-climax!

Roll on tonight for the finale. Best season of a reality tv show ever. From start to finish I loved it.

Yep, I think it's Sunday.

Yeah its Sunday. Was disgusted yesterday when I couldn't find it. Why such a break between the semi's and the final. :mad:
