Savage insults and harsh criticisms have been slung across the table at the My Kitchen Rules (MKR) 2024 Instant Restaurants, leading some fans to question whether the contestants’ inhibitions have been loosened up from alcohol.
Some savvy viewers have spotted wine glasses and beer bottles at the tables, and the Ultimate Instant Restaurant round requires the contestants to cook six courses — meaning that there’s even more time than the first two rounds for the cast to build up their liquid courage.
On top of that, some reality shows have bans on whether contestants are allowed to drink alcohol during filming, and Love Island Australia has a strict one-drink-per-night rule.
Fortunately for us nosy viewers, Simone and Viviana have clarified what the alcohol rules on MKR are during an exclusive interview with Chattr.
How much alcohol can the MKR contestants drink at the Instant Restaurants?
Viviana was spotted with a glass of wine in her hand while she and her teammate Simone were hosting their first Instant Restaurant. And, according to the Italian duo, it’s not just the kitchen where drinking is allowed.
Simone told Chattr that there is “not really” a limit to how much they can drink, but Viviana added that they needed to ensure they weren’t getting too wasted.
“Don’t go crazy,” she explained. “But, no one ever went too crazy.”
Simone added: “We drink with limitations, and obviously, we need to be straight, and we need to judge the food, so you can never go too hard.”
Who’s competing in the Ultimate Instant Restaurant round?
In recent years, there have been two Instant Restaurants before the contestants battled it out at Kitchen HQ. However, the 2024 season of MKR saw the Ultimate Instant Restaurant round return for the first time since 2017.
After just one challenge in Kitchen HQ, which saw Lawrence and Hannah eliminated, the remaining contestants headed back around Australian for the Ultimate Instant Restaurant round, which involved cooking two options for each of the three courses.
Taking part in the Ultimate Instant Restaurant round is Simone and Viviana, Mike and Pete, Maddie and Janey, Fergus and Cas and Rob and Liam.
