backformore October 12, 2016 Share October 12, 2016 Worst Cooks used to be home cooks, nominated by their families. Then came the Celebrity version, and now, it seems that's all we get until we run out of reality stars and washed up actors.

spiderpig February 23, 2017 Share February 23, 2017 On Cooks vs. Cons I enjoy the fact that you don't find out what the cons really do until after the judging. I wonder if I wouldn't be as annoyed by the (producer-encouraged) stupidity of the contestants on WCIA if I knew only that I was watching Bob, 34, from Columbus OH. Not Bob, 34, Nuclear Physicist.

RealityCheck August 1, 2017 Share August 1, 2017 I just saw a promo for Worst Cooks In America, Celebrity Edition premiering Wednesday August 23 at 9PM. Anne Burrell and Rachel Ray will be the mentors. Quote The new celebrity recruits are: Nora Dunn, Carmen Electra, Erik Estrada, Vivica A. Fox, Perez Hilton, Carson Kressley, Sean Lowe and Melissa Peterman. In the first episode, Anne and Rachael kick things off with a social media-inspired challenge. The mentors follow with a lobster lesson, which proves to be a disaster for some of these clueless cooks. Anne and Rachael then choose their teams, and the culinary training begins. Upcoming episodes feature international flavors, dessert-themed milkshake and cupcake challenges and the return of trivia game Family Food, this time with a "freaky food" twist.

EAG46 August 3, 2017 Share August 3, 2017 Carson Kressley and Ted Allen were on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy together. You'd think Carson would have picked up a few food things from Ted over the years. Unless he didn't pay attention. Or forgot. Maybe Anne and Rachel can ask Ted for help with him? Or at least have him on as a guest judge to rattle him? Oh I would LOVE to see that. On 8/2/2017 at 7:47 AM, Superclam said: Erik Estrada is really working the "celebrity" reality circuit!

seacliffsal August 4, 2017 Share August 4, 2017 Most of these people seem fairly well known to me. Perhaps an improvement from previous seasons.

Snarklepuss August 11, 2017 Share August 11, 2017 Carson will definitely be a hoot as he was on "Dancing with the Stars". I can't believe Perez Hilton is on this, LOL. I remember when he reported on the Kenya Wilson blowup after she was eliminated last season. Maybe the show asked him to join this time and he took them up on it! 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2037-small-talk-the-pantry-of-horror/page/2/#findComment-3539821
jcbrown August 20, 2017 Share August 20, 2017 I notice that my DVR seems to indicate that the episodes it knows of are all numbered only with odd numbers. I can see that episodes 1, 3, and 5 will be airing in the next 10 days. Weird, no? And agreed, I am looking forward to Carson the most.

I suppose it's possible, but is it really that probable to be great at baking but suck at cooking? Usually it's the cooks that make bad bakers but the bakers usually can cook too. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2037-small-talk-the-pantry-of-horror/page/2/#findComment-3568483

EAG46 January 10, 2018 Share January 10, 2018 So one ad has Anne showing the "recruits" how to bake bacon in the oven. One woman pipes up that she's seen bacon made in the microwave. Anne snits "I'm not going to show you how to cook in the microwave." Um, why not? The microwave can be used as a tool just like anything else in the kitchen. I think this show is forgetting HOW TO TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO ACTUALLY COOK. It needs to do away with the whole reality show competition bullshit. Just have the best actual teachers in the Food Network pool [whoever they are] show up at various nominated houses and teach people basic recipes. Omelets. Roast chicken. Steak. How to cook vegetables. Soup from scratch. How to cook pasta and rice so they don't burn the pan. Whatever. And, yes, how to use a microwave for more than heating up TV dinners. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2037-small-talk-the-pantry-of-horror/page/2/#findComment-3953370

EAG46 January 10, 2018 Share January 10, 2018 I remember Food 911 too. Tyler was so nice to the people that needed his help. FN could revive that, but make it about common food problems and have Tyler, or whoever, fix those problems. Hell, they could do a "Home Economics 101" show because apparently that class isn't really being taught in schools anymore. Just a bare-bones cooking class taught over the airwaves. No contest, no prizes. Just teaching. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2037-small-talk-the-pantry-of-horror/page/2/#findComment-3953537
