My Kitchen Rules scandal comes to head with elimination

AFTER months of teasing and speculation, the “scandal” that has plagued My Kitchen Rules from the start will finally come to a head this week.

IT’S been billed the biggest blow-up in My Kitchen Rules history and, after months of teasing and speculation, the “scandal” that has plagued the show from the start will finally come to a head this week.

And judge Manu Feildel says the exchange was just as “horrible” as it looks in all the promos.

TV viewers will finally see the war of words play out between NSW besties Sonya, 34, and Hadil, 30, and NSW sisters, Jess, 31, and Emma, 38, when the show returns tonight, eventuating in one of the teams being kicked off the show for good later in the week.

The Jess-Emma and Sonya-Hadil teams have had their conflicts.

“To be honest, it was horrible,” Feildel told The Sunday Telegraph.

“A horrible situation and something I want to leave in the past and not something I want to deal with ever again.

“It started with little pokes and a little push, laughing at people and then suddenly escalated to being a lot nastier and then there was some threatening as well and they took it too far, way too far.

“We’ve always had fights and we’ve always had opinionated people but we’ve never had nasty, nasty people like this.”

Feildel says after a discussion with production, he and fellow judge Pete Evans were left with no choice but to eliminate the team from the competition.

The Sunday Telegraph revealed in December last year that an all-girl team would be kicked off the set of the hit reality TV program.

While all signs point to Sonya and Hadil being the ones to be given the boot, Seven has refused to confirm who the team is until the drama peaks on Wednesday night.

The MKR finger-pointing has started ... and finished.

Feildel says he was contacted by one of the booted contestants expressing remorse for their actions.

“I got a message on Facebook from one of the people apologising for this and that,” he said. “But it’s their life and their reputation and it’s not going to affect me the rest of my life. I really don't care what their excuse was because there’s no excuse for this type of behaviour.

“I just hope we’ve sent a message to future contestants that that’s not the type of contestants we want in the show.

“We want cooks — don’t come for a catfight.
