So far I think itโs safe to say these two have been the stand outs of this series โ I personally love watching them hate everything. Foods, babies, old people, doughnuts. You name it, they hate it.
Needless to say the pressure is on, with all their fellow MKR contestants ready to give the pair a taste of their own medicine. Tyson tells us he is โconfident verging on arrogantโ with his palate, which is an understatement worthy of an award. Anyway letโs get into the cooking and the serious siblings have a seriously tricky menu. Lamb brains to start, pork jowl for main and chocolate raspberry discovery for dessert.
The brother and sister hit their first roadblock when they try to source puffed wheat for their main but canโt seem to find it. Amy suggests puffed quinoa as an alternative leading Tyson to declare โIโm not an advocate for the puffed quinoaโ โ officially the most bizarre sentence ever spoken on TV.
Time to get the instant restaurant started. Theyโve named is MOSAIC, presumably because if you donโt like their food theyโll smash you into a million pieces and put you back together again. The guests arrive and itโs clear everyone is excited to see Tyson and Amy crash and burn. They all agree that โAngry Angry Manโ needs to deliver or risk being called โaverageโ. To lighten the mood everyone decides that tonight is the night Bek and Kyle will kiss. They even chant โKISS KISS KISS.โ Aaaaaaaand weโre back in high school.
Speaking of kissing, Pete and Manu rock up and itโs down to business. Therโs a lot of pre-entrรฉe chat about the brains, people are nervous because letโs face it, offal is pretty confronting. But when push comes to shove the siblingsNAILit, the brains were โbang onโ according to Pete. Everyone is silently disappointed in their success. Only Betty and David call the dish average but their desperation is starting to smell worse than the lamb brains โ give it a break guys.
Back in the kitchen things are heating up which means Tyson is losing his cool. The pork jowl is burning, Tyson is fuming and someone should be calling 000. โIf I wasnโt cooking this pork jowl Iโd be punching a wall,โ Tyson says in a sentence that will later be used in court. Meanwhile the pomme frites are on the fritz and weโre seeing the first signs of Angry Angry man.
Dinner is served and the serious siblings neednโt have worried. While Pete and Manu agree it looked a little shabby, the main is declared a masterstroke. We see a single tear roll down Tysonโs cheek. Not since his first 5 star rating on Uber has he been this happy.
While Tyson and Amy prep dessert, itโs time Bek and Kyle to consummate their fauxmance in front of Pete, Manu, a bunch of strangers and several members of the production crew. How magical. The kiss is pretty awkward, much like Bekโs cooking itโs underwhelming โ itโs all beard and lipgloss.
Dessert time and the chocolate raspberry discovery looks delicious. It seems third time is a charm as Pete likes it and Manu basically wants to bathe in it. Thatโs a hat-trick.
The scoring is really a formality; the siblings clearly talked the talk and walked the walk. I feel a new MKR record coming onโฆAnd itโs 102, pipping the boys by 2 and claiming top spot. Youโve got to hand it to them, they may be ice cold but they certainly can cook.
Now for the BIG reveal โ the elimination twist โ the bottom two teams face-off in sudden death. Bek and Ash versus David and Betty โ canโt say Iโm surprised but excited nonetheless. Bring it on.
