My Kitchen Rules Contestant's Makeup Sparks Comparisons to 'Tan Mom'

My Kitchen Rules contestant Jane became a focal point of viewer discussion not for her culinary skills, but for her makeup application during the show's "Instant Restaurant" episode on Monday night. Social media users took to platforms to comment on her foundation, with some drawing comparisons to Patricia Krentcil, often referred to as "Tan Mom."

Viewers expressed surprise at the makeup application, with one user questioning, "Can we talk about the tan application?" Another commented, "I really expected so much from a career that insists on detail, and was alarmed at the tanning gaps more so than the cooking." A third viewer echoed the sentiment, stating, "Omg I thought the same thing, she cooked like her tan application."

Some viewers shared images of Patricia Krentcil, who gained notoriety in 2012 for her distinctive appearance, to highlight their observations.

However, not all viewers were critical, with some defending Jane. "Leave her alone for goodness sake," wrote one supporter, while another agreed, "People need to just stop."

The episode also featured the culinary efforts of Jane and her partner Shane, whose "mummified" pigeon dish drew criticism from their fellow contestants. Jane admitted that the pigeon dish was "super dry" and a "nightmare" after an attempt to tenderize it in a pressure cooker failed. The dish was described by one co-star as looking "like it has been in the crematorium."
