Is it even possible to have seen the same ad, over and over, for about 5 months on end?
I think Iâve heard âyouâre excused from the tableâ since last November!!

The MKR website has been down for most of tonight. All I have seen is â504 Gateway Time-outâ.
TONIGHT â Our Top 6 teams made their cooking debut in Kitchen HQ where brothers Josh & Nic mastered their disaster to earn the first Semi-Final place for 2018.
THE CHALLENGE
There is no elimination today - the next four times teams meet at Kitchen HQ, the strongest team will advance to the Semi-Finals. Tonight, teams will be competing over two rounds. First, all six teams cook and from that round the best two teams will cook again, with the winner being the first to enter the Semi-Finals.
MASTER THE DISASTER ROUND 1
Theyâve all cooked against each other, theyâve all tasted another teamâs dish and thought âI could do this betterâ - now is their chance to prove it. Teams must take a dish cooked by any another team across the competition and show the judges how they would have done it. They can change whatever they like, as long as they elevate and enhance the essence of the dish. The higher they scored in the Ultimate Instant Restaurants, the more time they have to cook in this round.

HENRY & ANNA Herb Crusted Lamb with Potatoes and Asparagus Salad (based on Alex & Emilyâs Herb Lamb with Tarragon Potatoes)

KIM & SUONG Fried Rice with Honey Soy Chicken and Asian Green Stir Fry (based on Georgie & Aliciaâs Lap Cheong Fried Rice)

Top 2 teams: JOSH & NIC and ALEX & EMILY
MASTER THE DISASTER ROUND 2
Teams have 60mins to have another go at one of their past dishes, a dish that didnât quite work, and make it Semi-Final worthy.

7.00PM SUNDAY ON MKRâŠ
Weâre back in Kitchen HQ where teams have a second opportunity to advance to the Semi-Finals. They will be competing over two rounds in two tough tests of the imagination â a cheap eats challenge and a luxury dish cook off. This is a finals fight which tests the strongest relationships - even the judges are at loggerheads!
As has this website for me anyway
To add to what you said earlier, the opening credits have been shortened again now for the finals featuring just the six teams who made it to the finals.
@TV.Cynic, why did you give away the result before it aired in WA?
Results were provided by Seven. As has always been the case with this and other media related sites, once broadcast, discussion of events occurring in programs is fair game.
The finals series still looks like an odd format,
Five teams to compete for the 3 remaining spots, with only 1 team from tonight progressing to the 1st spot in the 4 team semi final playoffs.
Not sure how that will work, time will tell I guess.
I think for the next two quarter finals, 1 team from each would progress to the semi final. The last quarter final would see two teams eliminated.
In thinking all 5 remaining teams will have to cook again on Sunday night, maybe a bit like what we saw tonight?
And the highest team goes through, or one gets eliminated.
Iâm sorry but the ultimate instant restaurant rankings should have meant more than just determining who could cook when in the next challenge. I would have structured the finals something like this:
With that system, you actually have a proper finals format which rewards the top 2 UIR teams (by having the âdouble chanceâ and the incentive for the QF winner) whilst making the UIR round extremely important in terms of where teams are positioned
Applying my finals structure to this yearâs UIR rankings, the finals would have ended up looking like this:
The grand final will be shown on Sunday May 6, following this eveningâs announcement that House Rulesâ sixth season starts on May 7.
My favourite line this series. Olga and Valeria have been the saviours of this pretty nasty, horrible series.
Last year I vowed not to be caught out by Seven again switching HD channels to show f------ football in HD. Well, I was caught out again. My supposed recording of MKR on 70 HD on Tuesday was football on 7Mate when I sat down to watch it this morning,
Funny, given they were front and centre of half the promos that ran for months before the season began and pretty much painted as villains.
Nine classified most MAFS epsiodes as âMâ, so exactly, not really suitable for kids.
Comapred to the tame MasterChef or The Block.
There is a new combined MKR finale and House Rules premiere promo for âthe biggest two nights of the yearâ () next Sunday and Monday:
Oh my goodness⊠Channel Seven obviously hasnât heard of State Of Origin (or anything else that rates higher than these shows)
Have also enjoyed Henry & Anna - either or both often have something funny to say
TONIGHT
In a tightly fought battle at both ends of the menu spectrum, Alex & Emily defeated young guns Stella & Jazzey to earn the second Semi-Final spot for 2018.

7.30PM MONDAY ON MKRâŠ
Teams have a third chance to advance to the Semi-Finals, where they will join Italian brothers Josh & Nic and cocktail couple Alex & Emily. As they compete over two rounds, they deliver some of the best cooking weâve seen but the strain of finals proves too much for one team.
How dare you roll your eyes at the expected hyperbole.
TONIGHT
A dairy challenge saw two teams rise to the top, but in a hotly contested seafood showdown, Stella & Jazzey were once again pipped with mums Kim & Suong advancing to the Semi-Finals.
THE CHALLENGE
Tonightâs cook off was fought over two rounds. In the first round, all four teams cook then the top two teams cook again, head to head, for the third spot in the Semi-Finals.ROUND 1 â THREE COURSE MEAL WITH DAIRY
Team had 2hrs to cook a full three course meal in which all three courses must have a key component made from dairy. In their 2hrs, teams decided when to serve each course. When a dish was ready to be eaten, they ran it up to the judges for tasting. If a dish didnât reach the judgesâ table when time was up, it would not be judged.HENRY & ANNA EntrĂ©e: Three Cheese Souffle

A cheating scandal rocks Kitchen HQ as two of your faves are sent home in a double elimination!
In a series first, the competition will farewell two of your favourite teams as the Semi-Final line-up is decided. With one place left, itâs do or die as a cheating scandal sends shockwaves through Kitchen HQ. Which team will stop at nothing to avoid elimination?
The âscandalâ will probably be something like a team using something out of a jar, rather than making it.
I think it will be the Russian girls that are up to these tricks.
