MKR's Tiffany Reveals The Moment Her Feud With Alisha And Deanne Began

Tiffany and Giancarlo finished their dinner with 86/110, including the season's first perfect 10. Four guest teams scored them eight or nine, but Alisha and Deanne gave the couple six.

The First Elimination Prediction Changed The Mood

Tiffany traced the problem back to the opening night, when every team was asked who they thought would be eliminated first.

She and Giancarlo selected Alisha and Deanne. Tiffany said they felt bad about making the choice, but the question required an answer and somebody had to be named.

In her view, the relationship deteriorated from that point. Because the teams could not simply pause filming and talk everything through between dinner parties, the tension carried into the next restaurant.

Alisha And Deanne Admit Payback Played A Part

Alisha and Deanne have offered their own explanation for the six. Deanne said the score involved "a little bit of payback" because they believed Tiffany and Giancarlo had judged their Hot Mess dinner unfairly.

Alisha similarly acknowledged that revenge influenced the decision. That is the key point in the dispute: Tiffany and Giancarlo say food should be judged independently of personality, while Alisha and Deanne felt earlier scoring had already made the contest personal.

Deanne also found a large rabbit bone in her main course, giving the pair a genuine food-related reason to mark the dinner down. The disagreement is over how much the existing feud affected the final number.

Tiffany And Giancarlo Stand By Their Score

Giancarlo denied that their earlier score for Alisha and Deanne was based on personality. He said their scallops were overcooked, while other elements were raw or too garlicky, and maintained that the score was fair.

Tiffany was more direct. She believed Alisha and Deanne had promised to let the food do the talking, then failed to follow that principle when it was their turn to score.

The two sides agree on at least one thing: the tension was already alive before Tiffany and Giancarlo opened their restaurant. Their wildly different readings of what happened next are why this MKR rivalry is unlikely to disappear quietly.
