FINALS IN CHAOS

PRODUCERS COOK UP DRAMA ONE LAST TIME

- 

As another hugely successful season of My Kitchen Rules draws to a close, New Idea can reveal that, behind the scenes, there’s been major on set in the lead up to the grand finale.

“Midway through this season, fans – and contestants – began to notice that ‘boss friends’ Maria and Bailey suddenly began to get ‘the villain edit’,” a TV insider says.

Even those on Gogglebox commented on the pivot during a recent episode, with one household asking if the pair “are the new baddies now?”

“There was a very obvious shift away from Maria and Bailey merely being sassy, sophisticated and forthright. And it seemed to really kick into gear once the ‘Meat Master’ was eliminated,” our source explains.
