It was a moment that left My Kitchen Rules contestants stunned and viewers outraged – Broome man Josh Meeuwissen called Amy Murr a “sl*t” as she served him his meal.
The Brisbane woman and her brother Tyson were hosting the other contestants in their instant restaurant when, while serving Josh an entree, he responded “Thanks sl*t”.
Amy told News Corp the comment upset her at the time, but she chose to wait to confront him.
Listen: This is why there’s a huge problem with this season of My Kitchen Rules.
“Josh definitely crossed the line with that comment,” Murr told News Corp. “He didn’t use very good judgment.
“We all know that Josh is a bit of a shit-stirrer and likes to get reactions out of people by saying things he probably shouldn’t.
“But that comment was taking it too far. To have him say that was quite upsetting.”
Taken aback by the comment, Amy told News Corp instead of confronting him right away she focused on cooking the rest of her restaurant’s courses.

Although this series of comments is about Josh's childish behaviour there is one thing I would like to see happen on this show (and any cooking show for that matter). If teams make a mistake in cooking a dish (e.g. pasta dough is somehow wrong) they should either fix it (show a bit of nous) or be docked points for re-doing it and wasting food (which to me is inexcusable in a world where many go hungry).
As for fine dining: turning peas into baby food by puree-ing them is to my mind stupid. Where's the texture? And on the subject of waste, the cooking often demonstrates a lack of nutritional nous; most of the goodness in a potato is in the skin. Same for many other vegetables.
i was appalled that his girlfriend sat their laughing and smiling after he said it.
Me too!!
