Tonight My Kitchen Rules will add Twitter tweets live on air tonight during the first elimination.
The 90-minute episode sees West Australian mother and daughter duo Kerry and Holly cooking in the final instant restaurant round of the series. The weakest team from their group will cook-off against Victoria’s Kane and Lee. The two teams will cook their signature dish with one to be eliminated.
Seven says the top tweets featuring the hash-tag #mkr will flash on the screen during the show.
Tweets during Q & A have helped create social networking interest in the show, and My Kitchen Rules becomes the third primetime show to make a major use of the feed, following The Xtra Factor.
Twitter comments will be a regular feature of Wednesday night’s elimination cook offs.

I think this show is rigged in favour of the eastern states as they have the most viewers and I will make a prediction that either nsw/vic will win the competition because the judges are from those states. Peter & manou have already shown their bias when a victorian contestants got 71 points for a poor meal.I challenge both judges their credability as and independant judge to keep the competion honest..
@SGT: I don’t go on Twatter and don’t want it force-invading my televisual entertainment – not too much to ask, is it?
Saw this tonight, and did not rate it at all – Most of the comments are just innane, boring and plain dumb.
If I wanted to be tweeted, I would get twitter.
Isn’t that the idea?
How about embedding it as a subtitle so we have a choice?
I hate it on QndA, and find myself changing channels.
It detracts from whats going on.
@Mac If you loath twitter then don’t go on it? It’s not affecting you whatsoever. Whinge whinge whinge.
Everyone I know is talking about MKR, the hit show at the moment. I’m so proud that my favourite channel is kicking ass. My Kitchen Rules Rules !!
Good god no. I like MKR but loathe Twitter – it’s just Facebook updates for people with ADD and no spelling or grammar education. This is a recipe for dire-rea(lity TV).
(Yes, I know that pun was a stretch. 😉 )
Are you kidding?
This action has dragged Q&R down into the slums of slums…. its childish and I do not want to read some c**p that people have to say.
This has just made my favourite show turn in another direction.
No thanks.
Ben Elton should do the same.
Would love this on 7pm. Would be an excellent fit for the show!
This might backfire spectacularly
Really surprised that 7pm Project hasn’t already done this. Seems like a natural fit with a live panel show.
This seems odd. Can see the Nine and TEN fanboys & girls getting RSI. A lot of the Q&A tweets are so clearly politically-biased for no other reason than he/she’s not of their party that they destroy the whole intent of the exercise.
Obviously going to be highly selective in what tweets they do show. Definitley wont be the slightest hint of critisism published. Also seems like a rather strange show to include the idea.
Next Seven will add tweets to Home and Away
#haw Ohhh that’ River boy is sooo like hawt!
Q&A is shown live nationwide on ABC News 24. Would 7two show it live nationwide so everyone can participate?
Also, I assume that tonights show is pre-recorded. That’s a different kettle of fish than Q&A which is a live show, with questions asked from the audience and viewers.
Also a surprise to promise the “top tweets” will be included. The Twittersphere could use its numbers to push a negative / abusive Tweet to the top of the heap.
