Program format, ratings and renewal prospects

The series holds a 7.6/10 rating on IMDb and 8.4/10 on TV.com. It`s immensely popular in Australia, to the point of ranking repeatedly as the #1 television program in the country in its timeslot. Its success does not seem to be rooted in the cooking competition component, but, more likely, hails from the dramatic relationships among the contestants that unfold on screen. There`s no lack of conflict, and behind-the-back gossip is encouraged. The judges aren`t particularly reserved in their criticism of the contestants` cooking either.

The program follows an elimination format that is somewhat convoluted and confusing at times. The cooking standards have been criticized, as has the blatantly scripted nature of the series. Over the course of its run the show has averaged 1.633 million viewers, with the ratings rising to their peak in the fourth and fifth series. Since then, the numbers have dipped somewhat, but My Kitchen Rules is still going strong. It is more than likely to be renewed for an eighth series, but there has been no official announcement from the network yet, so we will inform you of the decision as soon as any relevant news come out.
