Worst Cooks in America: Spoiled Rotten Premieres on Food Network January 7
Chef Tiffany Derry is joining Chef Anne Burrell to lead culinary boot camp in Worst Cooks in America: Spoiled Rotten. This season focuses on pampered competitors who have never had to cook for themselves. The recruits include grown men who still have their meals prepared by their mothers, indulged nepo babies, and food delivery divas.
The boot camp takes a literal approach, with the teams participating in basic training drills such as army crawls, obstacle courses, and calisthenics. The recruits also face challenges like a seafood-inspired game, a farm-themed competition, and a supermarket speedway challenge. Throughout the season, the most successful recruits earn “chef bucks” that can be used to buy game-changing advantages.
At the end of the season, the most improved recruit will be awarded a $25,000 grand prize and bragging rights for their mentor. The seven-episode season kicks off with a two-hour premiere on Sunday, January 7th at 8pm ET/PT on Food Network.
“This season’s Worst Cooks have never had to take care of themselves, and they are hilariously inept in the kitchen,” said Betsy Ayala, Head of Content, Food, Warner Bros. Discovery. “Anne and Tiffany have their work cut out for them and along the way, the recruits gain independence and confidence along with their cooking skills.”
This season’s recruits are: Joel Alvarado (Indianapolis, Indiana); Avi Boodram (Christiana, Delaware); Elena Catlin (Wesley Chapel, Florida); Frankie Cena (Burbank, California); Leona Chapman (Cresaptown, Maryland); Erika Coleman (New Orleans, Louisiana); Steve Crawford (Los Angeles, California); Costa Georgopoulos (San Pablo, California); Carrington Gilbert (Houston, Texas); Cathy Jacobson (Vernon Hills, Illinois); Stacey Loper (Hoover, Alabama); Micaela Minner (Akron, Ohio); Jesse Money (Malibu, California); Chelsko Thompson (Seattle, Washington); Serious Williams (Chicago, Illinois) and Ebie Wright (Los Angeles, California).
In the first episode, the recruits must recreate their favorite takeout dish, which is a steak and potato dinner. The two least successful recruits are eliminated.
In upcoming episodes, the recruits will participate in yacht week on the S.S. Worst Cooks, throw their own party, and spin the wheel in Meal of Fortune. The double-episode finale will air on February 4th, where the two most-improved recruits will serve a three-course restaurant quality meal to a panel of food experts for a blind taste test. Judges Matt Abdoo, Adrienne Cheatham, and Michael Jenkins will determine the winner of the $25,000 grand prize and bragging rights for their mentor.
Fans can learn more about the recruits and watch extended boot camp demos on the Food Network website. They can also follow the competition on social media using the hashtag #WorstCooks.
“Worst Cooks in America” is produced by Objective Media Group America, a company under All3 Media America.
