More than one million people will be watching Adelaide couple Carmine and Lauren battle it out with Melbourne sisters Tasia and Gracia in the My Kitchen Rules Grande Finale tonight.
So, obviously, we need to know EVERYTHING about what goes on behind the scenes of the biggest TV ratings night of the year, and who better to turn to than last year’s winners, “the gourmet pommies” Will Stewart and Steve Flood?
This week on The Binge, Rosie Waterland and Laura Brodnik ask them.
And believe us, behind the scenes TV gossip doesn't get much realer than this:
Listen to Rosie and Laura chat to Steve and Will below. (Post continues after audio.)
Back, in the first-ever Binge episode, Rosie and Laura were told that the contestants pre-record both a "winning" scene and a "losing" scene before the show actually goes to air, so the reactions you see on the TV are staged.
Steve and Will wouldn't be drawn on that trade secret, despite admitting they spent the day of last year's finale in the pub 'boozing with 150 of our closest friends', but they did tell us that generally, the show is pretty real.

Now that i have my social media up and running again and I have my "voice" back.... i'd like to ask a question.... Does anyone see the irony in the statement, "I think Carmine and Lauren are quite desperate for fame...."? This coming from two guys who have continuously bagged us on their Twitter feed throughout the entire series in a desperate attempt to gain followers and keep their profile alive! Not cool guys...not cool at all! We have copped enough bullying without you two "has-beens" trying to fire up the trolls! Then the two-faced Will has the nerve to comment on our Instagram post....seriously...are you for real? We unfollowed you for a reason mate!
Fiddy shades of h8.
....and in today's news, two different ex-contestants let the cat out of the bag by announcing that their televised joy at winning the show was only pretend. They were just doing what they were told to do by the director.
Now that, I do believe.
