It’s the 10th Anniversary Season of MY KITCHEN RULES and to celebrate, our doors are open. This history-making season will test teams like never before with new challenges, new locations, new faces, new cuisines and new rewards, while a record number of perfect scores keeps every contender on their toes.
Plus, for the first time, teams will be paired up in open homes to produce a three-course menu for the public in a souped-up Instant Restaurant round. And, in another series first, can perfect strangers team up to win MKR?
Judges Pete Evans and Manu Feildel are joined by Colin Fassnidge as passionate home cooks from all over Australia compete for $250,000 and the title of 2019 MKR Champions.
Real people, real food - come on in, the doors to Australia’s most popular cooking show are open!
The 7pm headstart strategy suggestion is a good one and makes sense. Big Bash means Home and Away probably wouldn’t be able to be broadcast on a Thursday for several weeks anyway, reducing screenings to three times a week. MKR could air at 7 until Big Bash ends and then they could return Home and Away mid Feb (hopefully to five nights a week).
Angus Ross from Seven has said Home and Away “aint going anywhere”. It can be moved but it is not their biggest challenge. Filling the back half of the year, launching a new stripped format, dealing with the ageing My Kitchen Rules and beating Nine in Sydney and Melbourne news markets arguably constitute bigger fish that need frying.
Yes true. I still think Home and Away is safe at 7pm over the longer term, but as you say, if MKR or something else does particularly well there then perhaps H&A won’t remain.
There’s no way they’ll risk moving it back to 7:30pm half way through the season right? They’ll want to keep up the momentum (asssuming this works). This is very interesting news for Home and Away.
Actually, I wonder if they’ll move Home and Away to 8:30pm?
Looking at Seven’s press release yesterday, I notice Seven has set up Instagram account for each team (and in the case of “perfect strangers” Milly and Karolina, two individual accounts). I am sure some of these contestants have their own Instagram but cannot use them during the competition. They may pop up when the season goes to air.
