IT was meant to be a fun and fabulous fifteen minutes of TV fame for My Kitchen Rules' newest villains Jessie Khan and Biswa Kamila.
But such has been the scorching heat of publicity and viewer backlash, at least one half of the now infamous Spice Girls is "relieved" the pair have now been eliminated from Channel 7's mega-rating home-cooking show.
Khan admitted the vicious and racist reaction to their contentious appearance on MKR had left her shell-shocked by the TV experience and grateful they crashed out so early in the competition.

The NSW pairing had polarised the 2-million-plus audience with their antagonistic approach to the series, criticised for stirring the pot and undermining their rivals during the first week of home visits.
While Khan and her best friend Biswa had happily gone along with the producers' plan to play the bad girls, the reality of reality television editing left the two women in tears over their portrayal and the hateful public response which followed them.
Khan said she took death threats from the angriest fans seriously, but could not understood the level of venom directed of them over "just being ourselves."
She pointed to the out-of-context editing of footage, especially in the final days of their MKR lives, for painting them as emotionally manipulative and negative schemers.
Two of the most offensive recent tweets aimed at My Kitchen Rules' contestants Jessie Khan and Biswa Kamila.
"We're not such horrible people who hate everyone all the time," Khan said. "It was nothing like that and we came across to the public as such negative people.
She said the vile response on Twitter had been out of proportion to their alleged crimes.
"We didn't expect this reaction. We didn't think people would take us so seriously. The reaction has been out of proportion."
Admitting they had been guilty of "saying too much" to producers, Khan said her comments in particular had been sliced and diced during the Jake and Elle episode, making her seem like she was smiling at the their failings and upset when they succeeded in the eyes of the judges.
Contestants Jessie Khan and Biswa Kamila said they were just being themselves, but the edits made them look nasty.
"That (editing) really upset me in the end because I knew that wasn't me. They filmed me smiling when actually I was reacting to them being praised by the judges and that wasn't what it seemed like on (air)."
While accepting the risks involved in signing up for reality TV, Khan said she felt manipulated at times by the process.
"It's part of the show (to be villain). You film for 12 hours and in the end you say anything. They (producers) were always really nice and ask you about things. You might not want to say them (on camera) but they'd say 'it's okay, say that.' Then they'd use it in a way that it wasn't meant to be."
On the upside, the friends felt vindicated by the wild ratings success of the show, especially the season peak hit during their home restaurant episode (which hit 3.2 million viewers across the metro and regional markets).
Not ruling out a return to the small screen, Khan said the double act would consider signing on to another lifestyle program, or even a reality vehicle like The Amazing Race.
On life as a villain, Khan revealed they had been taking advice from 2Day FM's shock jock Kyle Sandilands.
"I can't say he's humble," Khan said, "but he's nicer than we thought he'd be and he gave us advice before the show started and we'd listen to him again."
