THEY are billed as reality shows, but Australia's television networks are casting drama-style "goodies" and "baddies" to help steer them boost to blockbuster ratings.
"Spice Girls" Jessie Khan and Biswa Kamila were cast as villains in My Kitchen Rules Group 1- the team that viewers loved to hate.
Death threats and racial vilification for MKR's Jessie and Biswa
Tasmania father and son Mick and Matt were the good guys on MKR. The pair described themselves as "old-fashioned guys who like old-fashioned values''.
It is a recipe for success. My Kitchen Rules averaged a whopping 2.2 million viewers nationally for its Jessie and Biswa episode.
MKR turning its rival MasterChef into mincemeat
Two of the most offensive tweets aimed at My Kitchen Rules' contestants Jessie Khan and Biswa Kamila.
The night after the controversial pair was eliminated, MKR dropped back to 1.8 million viewers.
"Reality TV is like vaudeville and the audience is now in cyber space booing, hissing and cheering from the sidelines," reality TV blogger Emma Ashton from Reality Ravings says.
"That is what makes them so entertaining loving some contestants and being irritated by others."
The second round of Channel 7's hit cooking show has repeated the formula.
Personal trainers Luke and Scott are nice as pie. Former beauty queens Lisa and Candice are hiss-worthy nasties.

Media analyst Steve Allen says Big Brother and Survivor set the reality show template take a group of people, put them together in a pressure situation, and wait for fireworks.
"Producers of reality shows are after colourful characters that are willing to play up to the cameras," Mr Allen says.
"My Kitchen Rules has delivered that in spades."
Critics say selective editing is also used to make contestants look better or worse than they really are.
Khan has complained that she and Kamila were sliced and diced in the My Kitchen Rules editing room during an episode where they appeared to be critical of Queensland rivals Jake & Elle.

"It's part of the show (to be villain)," Jessie says. "That (editing) really upset me in the end because I knew that wasn't me."
MasterChef Australia was at its most popular when it followed the "goodies and baddies" formula.
Chris Badenoch (series one) along with Jonathan "the Terminator" Daddia and teary Claire Winton Burn (series two) had viewers boiling.
The trio also had ratings booming, with the first two seasons of MasterChef often topping 2 million viewers.
They were a stark contrast to the much-loved mum Julie Goodwin, beaming Poh Ling Yeow and humble "nice guy" Callum Hann.

Badenoch later accused the makers of MasterChef of making him a villain by editing out any footage of him smiling and recycling shots of him looking unhappy.
Singer Deni Hines raised hackles on Celebrity Apprentice Australia after she clashed with beauty queen Jesinta Campbell and The Block winner Polly Porter.
Big Brother had its heyday when contestants included bum-dancing Sara-Marie Fedele and fish-and-chip shop owner Reggie Bird.
Unfortunately, reality villains can find themselves the victims of vicious hate campaigns. Hines was forced to cut back on personal appearances after a nasty viewer backlash.
Jessie & Biswa endured a storm of hatred on Twitter - including death threats.
