As for their boisterous way of communicating, Amanda concedes that every time the sisters saw Manu and Pete, the pair had their fingers in their ears. "I was like, gosh, I've never been shushed so much in my life," Amanda says. "When I and my sisters and my mum get together, that's just what we're like, but it's given me a better understanding from my husband's point of view, and all the partners' point of view."
How so? Amanda says, "They usually exit the room and you don't really find them when we're all together and now I understand why! You never really listen too closely to yourself until someone from outside goes, 'Yeah, you're really loud.'"
Being amongst a household of loud, happy women (Kelsey and Amanda have three other sisters) only prepared them for MKR, Kelsey insists. "Amanda and I don’t take life too seriously at all," she says, "and we think putting smiles on everyone's faces means the world to us."
The downside to appearing on television comes when the sisters serve meals at their own dinner tables. "They actually grade my food now," Amanda says of her husband and kids. "I've yet to reach a ten out of ten!"
My Kitchen Rules airs tonight at 7.30 PM on Channel 7.
