People were divided when My Kitchen Rules Australia 2023‘s controversial besties Coco and Pearls used a steamy “50 Shades of Grey” tactic while serving their dessert.

During the September 11 episode of the cooking show, the self-proclaimed “alpha females” told judges Colin Fassnidge and Manu Feildel that they needed to be BLINDFOLDED to try their dish.

And we thought we were watching a family-friendly show!

Naturally, their co-stars had a LOT to say about this raunchy move.

“It was a very Coco and Pearls moment. Very glamorous, a little bit raunchy, a little bit sexy, a little bit 50 Shades of Grey,” their castmate Rachel told the cameras.

On the other hand, Claudean wasn’t as impressed.

“It was just weird to me,” she dished. “I’m super confused, it was 50 Shades of Confusion.” LOL!

And it looked like the blindfolds couldn’t save the duo, as the judges were very unimpressed with their “sloppy” dessert, ranking them the lowest out of all the teams.

This wasn’t the first time the fiery pair got a little raunchy, as they were also called out during the September 4 episode for “flirting” with Claudean’s hubby, Anthony.

My Kitchen Rules fans say they’d rather EAT the blindfold than Coco and Pearls’ dessert and ouch

My Kitchen Rules fans took to Twitter to discuss Coco and Pearls’ divisive act, with many agreeing that it was super “tacky”. And they said it, not us!

Others said that they’d rather eat a blindfold than attempt to consume THAT monstrosity of a dessert.

Meanwhile, some viewers asked why the judges were blindfolded AFTER they saw the food, considering the presentation was pretty abysmal.

However, the award for our favourite comment goes to this user, who made fun of the raunchy presentation tactic.

And that’s enough internet for today, folks!
