Ashlee and Sophia from MKR taste test Manu's home cooking.
WESTERN Australian couple Andi Thomas and Josh Maldenis may have been eliminated from My Kitchen Rules, but they were the ones receiving congratulations after dropping the bombshell they're having a baby.
By contrast, the news villains Ashlee Pham and Sophia Pou had scraped through to win the elimination by a single point was greeted with dead silence.
No sugarcoating from MKR gatecrashers Ashlee and Sophie
Tonight's sudden death cook-off on My Kitchen Rules was shot back in late-November, and fashion buyer Thomas, 28 from the Perth suburb of Kingsley, is due to give birth in the first week of July.

She revealed she'd had to rush away from the elimination in between courses to throw-up due to severe morning sickness from a pregnancy that came as much a surprise to her, as the other competitors.
"Oh my God, was I psycho?" laughed Thomas. "It wasn't just the stress, it was because I was so sick that I was vomiting all day. It was just really, really hard. I couldn't keep it together for much longer in front of everybody."

Thomas said the nausea had given the couple "an inkling" she might have a bun in the oven as far back as the Market Food Challenge, but they'd only confirmed it with a test a couple of days before the elimination.
Although they immediately arranged to drop out of the competition for the health of their unborn child - they decided to fight the sudden death cook-off partly to have a crack at Ashlee and Sophia.
"It would look like we were copping out and I did want to beat them," she explained.

Despite the animosity, the couple were as stunned as viewers at home when Sophia refused to return their wishes of good luck.
"I was being sincere - it's a sign of respect," she says. "If you're going to carry on like that it just shows what sort of a character you really are."
But unlike some, she doesn't believe the producers have put the villainous pair up to mischief to create drama and boost the ratings.
"Definitely not. What you see is definitely who they are, because the patterns don't change throughout the whole competition. They're nasty from the start and they're nasty at the end."

Neither team performed well in the cook-off, with Ashlee and Sophia producing crispy skin duck without crispy skin and an over-sweet jackfruit coulis. Josh and Andi were criticised for serving melted parfaits and for throwing half their Burmese dry beef curry sauce - and much of its flavour - down the drain.
But Thomas says they took comfort from how close the result was.
"I don't regret tipping it down the sink because it would have been way too runny," she says. "But it's like a big blur to me because a lot was going on. I don't think my whole heart, soul and energy was put into winning that day and I think any woman would understand throwing up in between courses."
My Kitchen Rules Ashlee and Sophia execute a cracking main dish which really impresses the judges.
