Drasko and Bianca were eliminated from My Kitchen Rules following the ultimate instant restaurant round.
Drasko and Bianca were eliminated from My Kitchen Rules following the ultimate instant restaurant round.
Ambitious couple Drasko Jankovic and Bianca Thair did their best to talk down the opposition on My Kitchen Rules, but the only team to go down was them.
The South Australians finished in fifth position despite Jankovic continually howling how "disappointed" he was with Ash Pollard and Camilla Counsel's instant restaurant.
He even commented how Pollard was "frazzled" and he'd be happy for her to remain like that.
"Ash is as frazzled as her hair. Let's just say, I wouldn't be upset if Ash stayed this frazzled throughout the whole evening," Jankovic said.
Melbourne socialites Counsel and Pollard did well to hold their nerve, knowing if they scored less than 51 points they would be ousted from the series, which screens on TV2.
Will and Steve will face off against Ash and Camilla on Monday night.
In offering up two choices per course, they didn't nail every dish but they got close a couple of times which was enough to lift them past Jankovic and Thair.
They were awarded 62 points primarily because of their entree of scallop mousse with lobster sauce and their mille-feuille dessert, which judge Manu Feildel raved about.
"The puff pasty is delicious. Crispy, fluffy, flaky, buttery and sweet - just the way it's supposed to be," Feildel said.
Jankovic didn't get to try the mille-feuille, sampling instead the gateau de trois laits, and was quick to share with the other teams how disappointed he was.
"I taste the cake and all I taste is sweetness," he said.
Even though Jankovic and Thair were given their marching orders, their time on MKR wasn't a complete waste.
They won an airline food challenge earlier in the series, meaning their winning dish will be available on selected Jetstar flights for the next three months.
Eva and Debra will face off against Jaq and Shaz on Tuesday night.
Just how they intend to cash in on their MKR experience is unknown because for some reason Seven has not offered the couple up for the weekly post-exit interviews.
As for the remaining four teams, their semi-final battles have been decided by their positions on the instant restaurant round leader board.
In the first semi-final on Monday, first-placed Pommie pals Will Stewart and Steven Flood take on fourth-placed Counsel and Pollard.
On Tuesday, second-placed Mt Isa cousins Jac Bakhash and Shaz Sellings are up against WA work mates Eva Lean and Debra Ch'ng.
The two winning teams will do battle in Wednesday night's grand final.
