My Kitchen Rules 2026 has had its fair share of ‘villains’ this season who have made the drama just as hot as the contestants’ kitchen stoves.
The latest pot-stirrers have been Angus and Simon, who have changed their tune considerably since Round Two. Ever since Gatecrashers Zoe and Zac entered the competition, the Adelaide best mates have had a bone to pick with Zoe’s pescatarian diet.
While contestants (and fans) were fed up with this debate, the boys continued, and even admitted to WHO that they were “losing friends” on the show due to their behaviour.
After Krysten and Lucy were eliminated from Kitchen HQ, Angus and Simon kicked it up a notch. This time, rather than targeting the Gatecrashers, the friends went after nurses Mary and Golden.
Speaking to WHO, mother-daughter duo Krysten and Lucy revealed that they’re still good friends with Angus and Simon, peeling back the layers of their “aggressive” behaviour.
What started Angus and Simon’s feud with Mary and Golden?
Angus and Simon’s Kitchen HQ feud all started after Angus said one word: “dishonest”.
During the dessert tasting portion of the banquet challenge, Angus declared that the guest contestants’ negative criticism of Krysten and Lucy’s dessert was “dishonest”.
He went on to suggest that the teams were scoring strategically lower to eliminate the best cooks from the competition, before being cut off by Manu.
This did not sit well with Mary, who called the claim “unfair” as they had nothing but positive feedback for their main meal.
The drama intensified during the international cuisine challenge when Angus decided to heckle Mary and Golden from the balcony while they were stressing out in the kitchen.
“Are those dumplings coming out the way you’d like?” Angus called out from the balcony. “It’s rude to ignore us! I wouldn’t want to go to elimination when I’ve had an advantage!”
After hearing these comments, Mary advised Golden not to stoop to their level.
During the tasting, Angus had quite negative critiques of the nurses’ food, which left a lot of the contestants speechless.
“They’re out for blood, those two,” Tiffany said to the camera.
Krysten and Lucy defend Angus and Simon’s character
Despite all of Angus and Simon’s antics these past few weeks, fan favourites Krysten and Lucy are standing by the boys’ character, revealing to WHO that they’re still good friends and have even watched some of the episodes together since the show first aired.
“Well, like attracts like, you know?” they told WHO. “We actually got on really well with Angus and Simon because they’re just really genuine people.
“They might not seem like it. They might seem quite aggressive at the moment, but, honestly, they’re such nice guys.”
However, while they’re still close with Angus and Simon, when asked who they were hoping would go far in the competition, their answer was Mary and Golden.
The eliminated pair also revealed that they connected with Oliver and Harrison and Alisha and Deanne throughout the show.
So, while it may look like Angus and Simon have taken the “aggressive” route this season and amped up the drama for ratings, it turns out there may be more beneath the surface.
Does that excuse their behaviour on the show? We’ll have to wait and see.
