Ibby and Romel were first accused of bending the rules when they hired an interior designer to decorate their instant restaurant.

And now they’ve outraged their rivals by choosing to strategically score in order to keep a Group 1 team from being eliminated.

In one of the most dramatic scenes so far on the 10th anniversary season of MKR, all hell broke loose around the table when the Sydney socialites 
were assumed to have been the ones who tipped the scores in Mick And Jodie-Anne’s favour during an elimination cook-off.

However, it appears that one very important piece of information was cut out from the episode, uncovering the ultimate betrayal.

On screen, it appeared it was Group 1 against Group 2, when in fact, WHO can exclusively reveal it was actually Josh and Austin who dobbed in their long-time rivals Ibby and Romel to everyone!

“We’re the ones that called it out at the table but that didn’t make the edit,” Josh tells WHO. “We decided to tell Group 2 that Ibby and Romel were trying to strategically score against them.”

Josh explains that pressure was being placed on the siblings to join forces with their rival team while the cameras were not rolling.

“Ibby and Romel were completely harassing us in the makeup room and saying ‘You have to do the strategic vote. Do it,’” Josh says.

“And we were just like ‘get stuffed’. Then at the dinner table, Austin was like ‘everyone, Ibby and Romel strategically scored’ and that’s what happened.”

However, according to Ibby, that’s not exactly how it went down behind the scenes. “I found out that we might be able to save our group by strategically scoring so I went to everyone in our room, not just Josh and Austin,” Ibby says.

“I told them that if we lose another team today we would be three teams down. I didn’t ask anybody to strategically score 
or anything like that I was just making them aware.”

But Josh and Austin aren’t just pointing the finger at Ibby and Romel. According to the home-school Christian brothers, Group 2 were strategically scoring to an even greater degree than Ibby and Romel!

“Most of them were strategic,” Austin spills.

“Group 2, they are all friends and they all hang out together and all spoke about scores. No wonder they all get the same rating.”

Josh is quick to elaborate: “Basically, Bianca would always talk to everyone about what they think they were going to score. And then she would tell Luke 
and then Luke would basically 
say ‘I think I’m going to score 
this.’ This is all behind the 
scenes, right. And then so 
everyone from Group 2 
would pretty much score the 
same and they would get away with strategically scoring 
because they all were talking about it afterwards.”
