My Kitchen Rules 2026: Alisha and Deanne hint at spin-off after elimination
Alisha and Deanne were eliminated from MKR but joked they want a spin-off show.
The self-described 'classy bogans' from South Australia landed at the bottom of the leaderboard on Monday night after Zoe and Zac's instant restaurant. Alisha and Deanne aren't ready to leave the screen, telling 7NEWS, "We need a spin-off show after this."
The pair made no secret of their big personalities, refusing to tone themselves down despite criticism. When asked what they were most proud of, both said it had little to do with cooking.
"Being ourselves and showing Australia who we are," Deanne said. "Being proud to come onto the show, showing our kids what we can do, and just doing it with your best friend."
Alisha pointed to standing their ground when judged. "Just standing up for ourselves when people are putting you down, and being able to carry on, push on," she said.
The pair noted they received mixed reactions from viewers, with opinion shifting after a heated moment during an earlier instant restaurant.
