My Kitchen Rules (MKR) contestants Tiffany and Giancarlo have lifted the lid on what viewers didn’t see behind the scenes, claiming some teams received a much more flattering portrayal on screen.
Speaking exclusively to Chattr, the couple reflected on their time in the competition and suggested that some contestants’ “real personalities” weren’t shown during their time on the show.
Tiffany claims some MKR contestants got a ‘good edit’
While Tiffany didn’t name any specific contestants, she teased that viewers may be surprised by how some personalities differed away from the cameras.
“A lot of people’s real personalities weren’t portrayed on TV, I’ll say that,” Tiffany told Chattr.
“They got really good edits. I’m not going to name names. You can figure that out for yourself.”
The comments come after a dramatic run on MKR, with the competition seeing plenty of heated moments between teams as they battled it out in the kitchen.
Tiffany and Giancarlo were warned ‘don’t watch the episode’
The couple also opened up about the emotional experience of watching their elimination episode air, after also revealing that a certain team warned them that other teams were plotting to kick them out.
“We’re just really shook from the episode, to be honest,” Tiffany said.
Giancarlo revealed Tiffany had been nervous about seeing the episode play out.
“Tiffany was super nervous about watching it,” he said.
“Yeah, because we were actually told in that message that we received, we were also told, ‘Don’t watch the episode. People are really unkind’,” Tiffany explained.
They reveal which comment was a ‘low blow’
One of the biggest frustrations for Giancarlo was criticism directed towards the food — particularly his grandmother’s sauce recipe.
“And that recipe especially, that’s my grandmother’s sauce,” Giancarlo said.
Tiffany insisted the pair knew the dish was good after tasting it themselves.
“We tasted everything, we know it was delicious. So that’s how I know that they’re full of it,” she said.
For Giancarlo, the comments felt personal because of the connection to his family recipe.
“That’s what hurt me, people being dishonest about that. Like that’s really gonna affect me,” he said.
Tiffany summed up their feelings about the backlash in three words: “Low blows, man.”
The pair’s comments add another layer of drama to this year’s My Kitchen Rules, as fans continue to debate what really happens behind the scenes of the cooking competition including the revenge scoring.
