Did the friendly competition on Top Chef just transition out of the "friendly" zone?

In E! News' exclusive sneak peek of Bravo's hit culinary competition series, a post-challenge pow wow gets heated when Sara Bradley and Adrienne Wright have some words.

"You guys were over there, like, taunting [the crowd]," an emotional Sara says in the clip below. "And I was like, these are supposed to be my people…Insinuating that I made s—ty food…To go and be like, ‘Oh, she's got boxed waffle mix over there. We never played like that."
