My Kitchen Rules viewers in Australia have been horrified by a much-hyped scandal that saw two contestants booted from the show.
The most controversial episode in MKR history isn't set to air in New Zealand until next month, but the fiery dinner table fight has been shared widely over social media.
Sonya and Hadil became the first team in the show's history to be "excused from the table" after they launched an extraordinary verbal attack on other teams.
The confrontation took place before entrees had even been served at Kim and Suong's instant restaurant.
Sonya and Hadil had a clear plan to antagonise rival team Jess and Emma from the outset, criticising the sisters' appearances and calling one of them "a blowfish".
"We'll come for you too," Hadil replied. "Don't you worry."
Hadil's teammate Sonya pointed to several other teams around the table and yelled, "I'll come for you and I'll come for you and I'll come for you, because you're all disrespectful a**eholes".
"That's what you are, a**eholes!"
It was at this point that Pete and Manu stepped in and told Sonya and Hadil that they'd gone too far.
"Enough! Things have got too out of hand. This is a cooking competition and this behaviour is unacceptable. Sonya and Hadil, you are excused from the table!" Manu said.
"No worries," Sonya told the judge as they got up from the table and left.
"They can dish it but they can't take it," Hadil said to Sonya as they left, and as they slinked into a cab, she told her teammate: "Just get in the car because this is just pathetic, just like those girls."
Viewers were shocked by Sonya and Hadil's outburst at the dinner party and slammed the duo on social media.
Shocking behavior from Sonja and Hadil these so called ladies , they should not only be excused from the table but from the competition, very childish and immature @mkr#MKR
i have actually never seen anything like what i saw Sonya and Hadil do to any human being ever... absolute bullies and disgusting behaviour absolutely appalling! #MKR
Sonya & Hadil’s behavior on @mykitchenrules was repugnant. Forget “editing” there is no justification. BULLYING & painful to watch. To physically degrade other women & actively attempt to push them over the edge SHAME ON YOU. Good riddance to bad rubbish #MKR
Sonya and Hadil are the most disrespectful team ever in the history of MKR!!! You do not call people assholes and you don’t threaten people by pointing the finger at everyone!!! They have made complete fools of themselves!!! #MKR
