From the lowest score ever to the highest in just two nights of viewing, this season of My Kitchen Rules certainly sets the record for rollercoaster dining.
Adelaide bromantics Tim and Kyle did not have a tough act to follow after flirtatious flatmates Bek and Ash nearly drowned in their own tears on Sunday night after serving inedible food; which consisted of a vegetable tart overwhelmed by raw garlic, dried out fish and a curdled custard profiterole (singular).
No batting of eyelids could save the Perth 20-somethings from an all time low score of 26 out of 110, which was even lower than David and Corinne's 27 in 2014.
But Tim and Kyle's score of 100 out of 110 easily defeated last year's record-holders Eva and Debra, who pulled off 98 points for near perfect Indian food brought undone by jelly.

Bek rose from the ashes (pardon the pun) on Monday night to deliver an almost perfect score of nine out of 10 to her hero Kyle and his mate, "if they had smashed the dessert out of the park it would have been a 10".
Unlike David and Betty, who despite being bumped up from the bottom of the leaderboard, continued to be all tactics by giving an eight; where in David's words "every point counts".
And while Bek and Ash were all smiles when Pete and Manu delivered the guests' score of 44 for Tim and Kyle's food, quipping "It's almost double our entire score", Tasmanian couple Damo and Caz were doing some quick sums.
They quickly cottoned on that "someone dropped an eight" when everyone else scored nines.
And her and Ash's graceful defeat continued when Pete and Manu lavished overwhelming praise on the 30-something pub mates for their "perfect" entree and main dishes.
The main dish of spice kangaroo with weed salad and beetroot and walnut puree particularly tickled Paleo Pete's tastebuds.
"That weed salad was a masterstroke, that was genius and the sauce, well, if the Frenchman likes it you know it's good," he crooned.
"Very impressive. Very, very impressive," said Manu. "Again it was just the perfect dish and I'm so happy to be sitting down at this table tonight."
Pete rounded out the joint-scoring of 10 out of 10 for both dishes with the comment "I wish I could give 11"; much to Betty and David's dismay ("Oh my god", as David held off hastagging to flash his fingers as "10, 10").
The boys' only letdown was the "nearly perfect" Key Lime pie with vanilla icecream, which has a too salty tart base and slightly-icey icecream.
"But you know what I'm just very impressed with what you've done and I just hope that you can continue that way," said Manu.
"Never did we dream we'd ton up," said a slightly beetroot Kyle. "We were aiming for 70s," added Tim.
The so-called villains Tyson and Amy are next.
