The knives are out for My Kitchen Rules' biggest know-it-alls Chloe and Kelly

SHE'S made herself few fans and tonight there may be even less reason to like Kelly. Things are about to get very ugly.

Chloe and Kelly are at it again

SHE has made herself few fans and tonight viewers may have even less reason to like My Kitchen Rules know-it-all Kelly.

The West Australian self-professed gourmet traveller, who has been to "more than 42 countries", will have her turn in the kitchen tonight alongside her almost equally disliked teammate Chloe.

But a program teaser, following last night's cook off with South Australians Deb and Rick, hints that something fishy is going on in team WA's kitchen and suggests they may have cheated.

The pair, who admit they like the finer things in life and are critical of other contestant's dishes, will be hoping to knock Victorian twins Vikki and Helena off the top spot with a grand total of 95 points.

Last night, Chloe and Kelly made it clear they wouldn't be happy getting any score less than tens as they criticised Deb and Rick's dishes one by one.

Kelly thought the sauce on the entree, a prawn and fennel salad with mustard dressing was overpowering, while the main dish, pesto-filled ocean trout with mash was too simple, and trifle dessert was just "yek".

Kelly made clear from the start she didn't think she would like Deb and Rick's style of food while pointing out naming their instant restaurant after themselves was hardly original.

And just when you thought there couldn't be anymore drama, tensions boiled over when Vikki began pouring champagne and "accidentally" spilt some on Kelly's dress.

Vikki claimed it was unintentional while the look on Kelly's face as she tried to keep calm was priceless.

Deb and Rick's menu failed to impress gourmet travellers Chloe and Kelly.

Despite Kelly's dislike of the dessert which was "nothing outstanding" judge Pete Evans deemed it the best dish of the night.

While the WA girls have made no secret of their desire to win, their obvious rivalry with the twins isn't helping them in the popularity stakes with other contestants and show fans.

Viewers have vented their dislike on Twitter and their constant name dropping of countries isn't helping their cause.

Kelly and Chloe have even managed to inspire their own series of memes.

While it's no secret careful editing can contribute to how a person or team appears on the TV screens, many on Twitter just want to see Chloe and Kelly booted off.

Last year, it was gatecrashers Sophia Pou and Ashlee Pham who had everyone's noses out of joint with their harsh critiques and know-it-all attitudes.

When the pair were booted off for overcooking their sautéed kidneys and undercooking their steamed buns the other teams and viewers were nothing short of elated.

Sophia, who said she watched every episode, admits she didn't realise during production just "how big the reaction would be" but said she was proud of how the pair conducted themselves on the show.

"We stayed true to ourselves and if people loved it great, and if people hated it, we were prepared," she said following her elimination.

But it didn't all end badly for Sophia who went on to perform in Dancing With The stars, helping bolster show ratings and even her own popularity.

The eye-rolling cook maintains she is "constantly mobbed by gay men and children" since her appearance on MKR and told DWTS co-host Edwina Bartholomew that the show made her a gay icon.

"For some reason I don't resonate with 30 plus females but kids and gay guys love me," she joked. "Move over Kylie!"

Sophia was later eliminated but sparked the anger of fellow MKR contestant Mick Newell when she pulled out of a radio interview with him about her time on DWTS.

She reportedly said she felt "uncomfortable" about speaking to her ex-cooking rival on his 7HO FM breakfast show.
