MKR's Michael and Rielli call out Mark's 'hypocritical' moment: 'A fool'

While Mark previously told Chattr that Michael was “rude and disrespectful” for interrupting judging during their Instant Restaurant, he ended up doing the very same thing.

When Manu told Michael his lamb was cooked to perfection, Mark interrupted and said, “Nah, I think it should be cooked a bit more. Do you think that’s cooked? Has that fat there been cooked?”

Rielli tells Chattr Mark has “shot himself in the foot” with that moment, and labels him a “hypocrite”.

“To make an uproar about Michael being disrespectful and cutting Tan’s moment off only to do the same thing. That’s a hypocrite, and that’s embarrassing,” she exclaims.

“Mark wants to be Michael. Mark speaks up because he wants to be the head of the table. He just can’t, because nobody cares what he says.”

Michael wasn’t annoyed by Mark’s interruption; instead, he says he felt “joy”.

“The fact that Mark would make a fool of himself in front of everyone and act as though he knows something [was satisfying], he acts as though he’s better than the professional chefs, you know,” Michael says.

“Only the meat master knows when the meat is cooked to perfection, not Mark the mini-Michael pretender.”

Rielli and Michael call out the MKR gatecrashers for strategic scoring

Michael and Rielli received the lowest team score from the entire Instant Restaurant rounds yet, but this didn’t match up with the judges’ scores. They believe people were judging them based on if they liked them as people, rather than on the merits of their food alone.

Rielli says everybody’s “true colours” are showing now, and believes some contestants have been “cheating”.

“How can we get a lower team average than Lol, Lil and Maria and Bailey, but still be higher [on the leaderboard] than both of them? That didn’t make sense,” she says.

“That’s strategic scoring, and that’s cheating. You’re a cheater.”

Thanks to Michael and Rielli’s high scores from the judges, they are now safe from elimination. Will it be Maria and Bailey or Amy and Lara going home next week?
