My Kitchen Rules had only just premiered when fans realised they may have already figured out exactly who wins the 2022 season.
With ten teams joining the cast alongside judges Manu Feildel and Nigella Lawson this year, viewers were thrilled to have the show back after a three-year hiatus.
The season promised more excitement, kitchen drama and good food than ever before, with contestants eagerly preparing to prove their worth at their instant restaurants.
And with so many strong contenders, it really seemed like anyone’s game… until some very telling details leaked online.
Every year betting sites like Sportsbet list the odds of who will win any given reality TV show, including MKR.
With rumours that these outlets are told who will win ahead of time, fans have been using the odds to predict who will win shows like MasterChef, The Masked Singer and more for years.
The odds for each of the MKR couples dropped almost immediately after the first episode aired, so who is set to win the 2022 season?
It looks like loved-up couple Janelle and Monzir have the best chances of winning this year, with Sportsbet odds currently sitting at $1.80.
But best friends Kate and Mary are hot in their heels with odds of $5, while foodies Nicky & Jose are coming in third and currently have odds of $7.50.
While fans believe the Sportsbet odds usually predict the winner of shows like MKR perfectly, the other places aren’t always guaranteed.
Teams in third, fourth and lower places often jump around as the season goes on and fan-favourite couples are eliminated.
It means your favourite couple may still have a chance even if they’re currently sitting in last place with the lowest odds.
But the first place pick is usually spot-on when it comes to pre-recorded reality TV shows like MKR.
Just a few weeks ago Sportsbet predicted Aaron and Karly would win Beauty And The Geek, and before that it claimed Reggie Bird would take out the crown on Big Brother.
The site was on the money both times, proving that while it doesn’t get all the predictions spot-on, you can generally rely on it for your winning bets.
