It’s all on the line on this week’s episode (Sunday 17 October, 18:00 on M-Net Channel 101), of My Kitchen Rules SA, as one of the five duos must be eliminated. Palesa and Palesa are the last pair to cook and will be looking to at least better Brett and Aidan’s 54/100 to progress to the second round of the competition.
Doing any better than that is "gravy", with Retha and Tshepi leading with 70/100, followed by Nevi and Craig on 64/100, with Karen and Tenille third with 61/100.
Timing becomes a challenge for the five-year besties very quickly as they try to piece together their winning menu – but is it a case of "slow and steady" or will their snail-like pace cost them their place?
With talk of "strategic scoring" coming to the fore – and with the altercation at the table over salmon last week between Palesa M and Tenille – will politics trump flavour at the end of Table 1’s Instant Restaurant phase?
My Kitchen Rules SA is available on DStv Premium on M-Net (Channel 101) every Sunday at 6pm as well as live streamed on the DStv App, and on DStv Catch up through the DStv App or DStv Explora.
