My Kitchen Rules' Giancarlo and Tiffany eliminated by strategic voting

The couple lost a cook-off 26-50 in an elimination round. Other contestants marked them down on purpose to remove strong rivals.

Tiffany and Giancarlo prepared a two-course Italian menu but Tiffany forgot flour in the tiramisu. The real damage came from other contestants' scores.

One contestant openly said he would mark them very low to hurt their average and protect weaker teams. Tiffany and Giancarlo received a score of just 5 out of 10 from the other teams combined.

They lost by just one point, finishing 26 out of 50.
