IT’S been a long haul, but MKR’s grand final week teams have finally been revealed.

The very last team to cook in last night’s ultimate instant restaurant round, Helena and Vikki, were trailing top scorers Paul and Blair, sitting comfortably on the top of the leaderboard with 70 points.

While the twins’ overall score of 65 couldn’t trump the dads, it was enough to signal elimination for the series’ youngest contestants Thalia and Bianca.News_Image_File: Sent home: Thalia and Bianca were eliminated during Wednesday night’s episode.

“We came with a love of food, but we are leaving with a true passion and we know that this is what we want to do with the rest of our lives,” Bianca said of her time on the show.

“I got to cook alongside my best friend. I’m so glad we got to do this together,” Thalia added as the Tassie girls left kitchen HQ for the last time.

Sticking to a mostly Greek menu, the twins entered the kitchen with confidence. An early hiccup with the octopus entree saw Helena rattled and forced to head back to the shop to buy more seafood with an hour to go.

“If she’s going to have a meltdown, I’m soon going to have a meltdown and we’re going to walk out of this and have no food to serve,” Vikki panicked.

But the girls regained their composure and were given a near perfect score from the judges for their first dishes of the night. Pete said his kataifi wrapped prawns with zucchini salad was “a celebration of all of produce the ladies used.”

Their mains — lemon and oregano lamb with Greek beans and Piri Piri quail with saffron rice — were less of a hit but Manu said the quail was cooked to perfection.

Helena and Vikki’s desserts, a hazelnut mousse cake and galaktoboureko with ice cream and grilled figs, also failed to find favour with the judges. Pete said his mousse cake was his least favourite dish of the night and that the use of macadamia nuts on top puzzled him.

The girls scored 24 out of 40 from their guests, with Chloe and Kelly unsurprisingly awarding them just five out of 10. News_Image_File: Chloe James and Kelly Ramsay have scored a spot in MKR’s top four.

The battle for MKR’s $250,000 prize money begins on Sunday night, with Paul and Blair facing off against Chloe and Kelly in the first semi-final. The winning team will head straight to Tuesday night’s grand final.

Monday night’s second semi-final pits mums Bree and Jessica against twins Helena and Vikki to determine the second grand final team.
