My Kitchen Rules' biggest fan account boycotts show in favour of The Block The viewer who runs the MKR_AU fan account, which has over 17,000 followers, is now watching The Block. Picture: Twitter Source: news.com.au THE viewer behind My Kitchen Rules biggest Twitter fan account has declared he now "can't stand" the reality show and will be watching rival program, The Block from now on. After updating his 17,000 dedicated followers with every kitchen thrill and spill since the program began on January 28, Grant Alexander says he has now lost all interest in the program and has slammed it as badly scripted, fake and no longer about the cooking. Alexander has tweeted more than 1,700 times from the MKR_AU account, with thousands of viewers happily joining in the conversation each night. But now, he says he's had enough. "Not interested in the show any more," he told his army of loyal followers today. As a fan I am not happy with the direction the show has gone this year. I've started watching #TheBlock How funny would it be if I live tweeted @TheBlock9 tonight from this account? That would send a strong message! It wasn't long before Channel Nine saw the opportunity and tweeted him saying: @MKR_AU You should! It's our MASSIVE #GrandFinaleWeek on #TheBlock and it's going to be a BLOCKbuster! Chat with you again at 7 o'BLOCK:) The lack of a Channel Seven MKR Twitter handle, meant many fans and media - ironically including Seven and Sunrise themselves - were tweeting the account thinking it was the show's official Twitter handle. 28-year-old Alexander - who also runs the 14,000 strong @AusGotTalent fan account - told news.com.au that he was not a troll or attempting to anger dedicated MKR fans but was simply an average guy who had become bored with the show - like many others. "I've had a lot of people tweet me and say 'I've missed your commentary of the show', but I've lost all interest in it," he said. Alexander says his interest waned after the gate crashers came on and the instant restaurants finished up and he tried to watch the show but couldn't "stand it." It got to a point where my personal life was taking priority. There was that feeling that I was letting fans down and I was making excuses that I was working late and stuck in traffic and wasn't able to make it home in time to tweet, but I was actually at home laying on my couch watching The Block instead! He said that casting and editing were mainly to blame for the show's downfall. It seems heavily scripted, it's shot and then chopped to pieces and put back together. It doesn't seem genuine. "They've casted these "characters" to make it interesting for people to watch, but it's had the opposite effect in making people like myself turn away from the show after having liked it so much from the beginning. It should be about the cooking, not about what one says about the other. It's plain and simple, if you're going to do a cooking show, talk about the cooking. Alexander, was forced to reassure fans that his account had not been hacked after many expressed their disappointment at his "defection" to the renovation show. "I'm a normal person with valid opinions" he wrote. This account has not been hacked. I've been putting off a vent for a while now! Just me, the owner of this & @AusGotTalent voicing frustrations with the show. Alexander, who works full-time as a business analyst, also owns the handles @MKR_Official and @MKR_AUS. He says he is willing to sell the account to Channel Seven if they want to buy it and thinks it is worth thousands of dollars. I am no longer a fan of the show, so if the production companies want to come in and take it off my hands, they're more than welcome to and I'm happy to discuss and negotiate.
