Crafty South Australian cooks Jessica and Bree have put an end to the My Kitchen Rules aspirations of twins Helena and Vikki Moursellas by winning Monday's cut-throat semi final.
The Adelaide mums will take on trash-talking travellers Chloe and Kelly in MKR's grand final on Tuesday with the winners pocketing $250,000.
It's been a rough ride to the finale for Bree and Jessica who had to win two sudden-death cook-offs during the preliminary rounds just to reach the penultimate episode.
On both of those occasions they won by a solitary point but in Monday's semi final there was no close call.
Bree and Jessica were far too experienced and consistent for their younger rivals, who have surprised the judges with their cooking skills, to win 52 to 42 to advance to the finale.
There was no consolation cash for Vikki and Helena but they have managed to snare a book deal.
The cook book will be launched in March next year with only new recipes.
"Whatever is in our cook book will have nothing to do with My Kitchen Rules," Vikki told AAP.
"A lot of the recipes are from our family and we have added our own touch. It's all very exciting."
There was notable tension between the twins and Chloe and Kelly during the series but the two teams have since buried the hatchet and are now friends, says Vikkie.
She said she was shocked to hear some of the words Chloe and Kelly spat out during their private interviews which are taped after each challenge and then aired when the season rolls out.
"There was a lot of tension because we were fighting it out for $250,000," she said.
"The rivalry was real and there was a little bit of awkwardness in the room, but now it's all good.
She said the producers were kind to her and Helena as they also had a bit to say but it never made it to air.
"Helena and I said some harsh things and they obviously didn't play it and they said some harsh things and, if I was them, I would be regretting it now," she said.
Not only did Vikki score a book deal but she's also in love.
She met her boyfriend three months ago at an MKR function in Sydney.
"Luke is definitely husband material," she said.
