A Food Network reality show that began airing in 2010, Worst Cooks in America takes 12-16 home cooks who are terrible in the kitchen and sees if some of Food Network's most experienced chefs can't teach them how to cook. The contestants acknowledge that they're bad cooks and are nominated for the show by friends, family, and even themselves in some cases.The recruits are divided into a red team and a blue team, with one person from each team being eliminated every episode, based on their performance during that week's tasks. The recruits are tested for their presentation, seasoning, knife cuts, and other kitchen skills in two challenges. The last two chefs prepare a restaurant-quality three-course meal during the final episode of the season, for three food critics and one winner is chosen. The prize is $25,000 and a Food Network-cooking set.Seasons 7, 9, 11, 13, 16, and 19 were different from the other seasons for a few reasons: | |

Picked Last | |
| Worst Cooks in America / int_170b46db | comment |
Picked Last: In the premiere of the third season, a contestant named Rachel was embarrassed about being picked last, having flashbacks of dodgeball. This, suggests, however, that she didn't really understand the process, in which one-by-one Anne and Bobby each picked a chef they wanted for their team and foisted one they didn't want on the other team. Her being in this position, while not the best, certainly at least indicated that they felt she had some potential, compared to some of the others. Otherwise, one of them would have foisted her off on their opponent a lot sooner. | |

Failed a Spot Check | |
| Worst Cooks in America / int_21e5b9c7 | comment |
Failed a Spot Check: The recruits are usually not used to cooking, so thus, not used to cooking under a time limit. It's very often that they end up burning their food as a result, or some other accident that occurs due to absent-mindedness. For example, many contestants accidentally turned their gelato into scrambled eggs in season 6. Explanation At one point in making gelato, one has to temper the eggs, milk, and sugar, or in other words, swap it from bowl to bowl. Overcooking for even a second turns it into scrambled eggs. | |

Cordon Bleugh Chef | |
| Worst Cooks in America / int_233da103 | comment |
Cordon Bleugh Chef: The premise of the series. The first meals the contestants prepare in the kitchen show just how bad they are. One dish in Season 4 was essentially spaghetti with a pound of melted M&M's mixed in. Kitchen sanitation is a big problem. Two chefs in Season 4 were sent home for sanitation issues (Dr. Bob in week 2 cut his finger and continued to cook without even an attempt to bandage the wound; Aadip in week 3 licked his fingers during the main dish challenge and returned to cooking without washing his hands; in both cases, they likely would have been sent home anyway for failure to follow directions, but the sanitation made it a particularly easy decision). In one season 18 challenge, Alton refused to taste anything prepared by his team because every single one of them made a sanitation or cross-contamination mistake. He judged their food based solely on appearance. Since the recruits are, quite literally, the worst cooks in America, they will more often than not know very little about flavoring. Thus, when some dishes are nothing but flavor (like ice cream), there's bound to be one bad batch. | |

| Worst Cooks in America / int_28a5213a | comment |
Small Name, Big Ego: Season 5's Lance went into the show calling himself "the black Bobby Flay" and being supremely confident in his abilities, not even taking notes during demos, apparently forgetting that he got chosen to compete because he's a terrible cook. He was eliminated during the second week. Season 4's Alex constantly defended himself and deflected criticism, resulting in his being sent home in week 3. | |

Lethal Chef | |
| Worst Cooks in America / int_35ae6a23 | comment |
Lethal Chef: As previously mentioned, the contestants do actually acknowledge that they're really bad at cooking and genuinely want to improve their skills. Many of the contestants have admitted that they have accidentally given friends and relatives food poisoning because of how bad their cooking is. Much of the bad sanitation practice on display can make someone seriously ill or even kill them. In auditions for one season, one contestant was made sick from eating his own food. Chanda from Season 8 admitted that she thinks that may have actually killed a relative of hers with her bad cooking — she mentioned that she had made a birthday cake for her great-aunt, who died the next day. To be fair, the great-aunt's death was probably just a coincidence — she had mentioned that the great-aunt she made the cake for was 91, so the great-aunt probably just died of old age. | |

Took a Level in Kindness: Season 12 contestant Brandon was smug early on, mugging for the camera at any possible opportunity, but he mellowed as the weeks progressed. In week 5 he helped teammate Robin recover from a disastrous attempt at putting a pizza in the oven that could have sent her home. He was sent home in week 6 when his dessert failed | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Worst Cooks in America / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Season 1 had the shortest episode order (12 cooks for 6 episodes) and a different selection mechanic (started with 24 cooks, selecting down to 12 in the first episode). Season one also had some features they couldn't really use again, such as not telling the recruits at first that it was the worst dishes that would be moving on rather than the best. Also the final episode had the judges completely in the dark and believing it was the chefs' dishes they were judging, so emphasis was placed on the chefs' reputations being on the line more than in later seasons. | |

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? | |
| Worst Cooks in America / int_5beef860 | comment |
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: It's almost guaranteed that at least one contestant per season will be absolutely freaked out by seafood, Amber from Season 5 and JWoww from the first Celebrity Edition probably being the most prominent examples. Kimberly from Worst Bakers had a fear of eggs. Considering that eggs are a staple in most baked goods, she was doomed to have a hard time from the get-go. | |

Drill Sergeant Nasty | |
| Worst Cooks in America / int_6375f746 | comment |
Drill Sergeant Nasty: While most coaches tend to take a calm approach to teaching the contestants, Anne Burrell is very prone to this trope, often times she'll outright scream at anyone who's not being fast enough or committing mistakes. If she catches poor sanitation - and she will - she will make the hapless cook throw away the contaminated dish and start over (Serving contaminated food can make somebody seriously ill, making this highly justified). Anne's DSN tendencies are brought out by recruits who are visibly screwing around, refusing to take boot camp seriously, and generally treating her and her kitchen with disrespect. She has a lot of patience with recruits who are actually struggling; none with recruits who are only struggling because they aren't taking her teaching seriously. | |

Not Listening to Me, Are You?: It's really easy for the chefs to tell when the contestants are listening to them and when they're not. For example, putting a piece of fish flesh-side-down first when the chef said to do is skin-side-down first is a good indicator. | |

| Worst Cooks in America / int_8cb1a369 | comment |
Took a Level in Jerkass: Season 4 contestant Chet as his time on the show went on. He didn't enjoy working alongside fellow contestant and eventual season winner Alina, and it showed in his behavior for the rest of his time as a contestant. Fortunately, when he made a reappearance alongside several other cut contestants in the final episode of the season, he seemed to have mellowed out. Season 3's Tiffany started off mellow and likable but became rather smug and jerkish later on. As a professional poker player, she should have known better. | |

Sadistic Choice: Of a cooking variety. In the second-to-last round of season 3, which was a challenge to prepare food for school children, Bobby is forced to choose which contestant to send home and which one to take to finals. Melissa handled her time perfectly in the kitchen, but her food was disliked by the kids. Vinnie handled his time poorly, but the kids loved his food. He chose to send home Melissa. This may have cost him the season. | |

Berserk Button | |
| Worst Cooks in America / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: The chefs have several. Not taking things seriously. Not listening to their instructions (hurry up, get your food on the grill, etc.) Completely copying their presentations, unless instructed to do so. Explanation The point of the chef's presentations is so the contestants know how to do prepare the actual dish (like how to cook a burger patty), while the seasoning, flavors, and other ingredients are left to them. Poor sanitation Explanation In a professional kitchen, some of the poor sanitation practices on display would result in the hapless cook caught using them being promptly ripped a new one by the chef and fired - i.e. licking hands and putting them on food without washing them first; bleeding cuts without any attempts at first aid). No fewer than two recruits in Season 4 were sent home for sanitation issues. An easy and rapid way to piss off Chef Anne is to presume familiarity. Justified in that the people doing this are, well, the worst cooks in America. Another for Anne is knife safety. She will run up to a recruit and draw on their fingers with red marker if she sees them holding knives incorrectly — specifically, with their index finger extended over the back of the blade. | |

Unskilled, but Strong | |
| Worst Cooks in America / int_f25b1ae6 | comment |
Unskilled, but Strong: Some contestants tend to show this overtime, displaying good palates and understanding of putting flavors together despite their relative lack of culinary skills. One of the most notable cases was David Rosenberg, especially when he returned for Worst Bakers, as while he struggled to understand the intricacies of baking and his plates were not presented well, he constantly stunned the mentors with really tasty flavors in his baked goods. | |

Generally a recruit who simply knows nothing at all about working in the kitchen will survive until at least week 2 (or later - Rasheeda in season 4 went from a seemingly-hopeless case at the start of the season all the way to the finals) while a recruit who doesn't seem to be listening and is generally trying the chefs' patience will go home in the first week. | |
