Maverick August 21, 2016 Share August 21, 2016 I kept hoping it wasn't coming, but I knew it was. New celebrity edition starting Sept 14th at 9. From the Food Network website:: Quote In the premiere episode, celebrity recruits Mindy Cohn, Matt Dallas, Tommy Davidson, Barbara Eden, John Henson, Loni Love, Kenya Moore, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Nicole Sullivan enter to find Anne and Rachael ready to assess their cooking skills with a baseline cooking test inspired by ingredients from a Hollywood swag bag. Unfortunately, one celebrity won’t make it onto a team, and will have to return to Tinseltown instead of getting a spot in Boot Camp. Upcoming episodes feature Oktoberfest-themed beer and sausage challenges, a Halloween Bloody Mary battle and the return of trivia game Family Food. Former contestants-turned-guest judges will be last season’s winner, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, and runner-up, Kendra Wilkinson. Link to comment

mlp August 23, 2016 Share August 23, 2016 The only one of these people I'd ever heard of was Barbara Eden and I hadn't given her a thought in about 40 years. Her age kind of gave me pause as she's decades older than the others but then I thought about Mary Berry who is fabulous at 82 so we shall see. I'm almost ashamed to admit that I looked up Michael Sorrentino on Wikipedia because I wanted to know what "The Situation" as a nickname could possibly mean. I still don't know. He sounds like he might be a real jerk though. 1 Link to comment

Definitely a pill. Self absorbed. He did cook on the show so i bet he goes far 3 Link to comment
zxy556575 August 26, 2016 Share August 26, 2016 Anticipation? Anticipatory dread, maybe. But I train-wreck-need to see what alarming kitchen misdeeds are next. Can it be worse than people who don't know how to stir, for crissake? Link to comment
Totale August 27, 2016 Share August 27, 2016 No, thank you. It's sad to see Skunkboy sink this low, I thought the US version of MEEC (forget what they called it) was already the bottom, but apparently it is possible to hit bottom and then keep falling. Link to comment
Maverick August 29, 2016 Author Share August 29, 2016 I'm dreading this, but I have to admit I'm amused by the 'the call is coming from inside the house'...er, kitchen promo. 2 Link to comment
EyewatchTV211 September 5, 2016 Share September 5, 2016 Somewhat on-topic - they've made a spinoff of the show Worst Bakers in America http://www.wnypapers.com/news/article/current/2016/08/29/125758/duff-goldman-lorraine-pascale-lead-12-hopeless-bakers-in-intense-boot-camp-on-food-networks-worst-bakers-in-america . 1 Link to comment
candall September 11, 2016 Share September 11, 2016 Uh-oh, I do not know many of these . . . celebrities. (Including Skunkboy.) Link to comment
Snarklepuss September 11, 2016 Share September 11, 2016 I never watched "Jersey Shore" but I remember "The Situation" from Dancing with the Stars where he wasn't nearly as insufferable as I thought he would be. I grew up with Barbara Eden, lost track of her and wow, she looks amazing for her age! I have to admit I didn't even know she was still alive! And I remember Nicole Sullivan from "Mad TV". She's a very funny woman! Mindy Cohn I remember too but only from one episode of "What not to Wear". I never watched "The Facts of Life". So I guess I know of a fair number of them, not that I really care to, LOL. I like Nicole so at least I have someone to root for. Who the heck knows if any of them have any potential, LOL? I guess we'll find out! 1 Link to comment

Mindy Cohn--The Facts of Life and Violet Tendencies Matt Dallas--Kyle XY. I'm a little surprised because he's married and had a kid. Tommy Davidson--In Living Color Barbara Eden--I Dream of Jeannie John Henson--Talk Soup and Wipeout Loni Love--comedienne and host of The Real Kenya Moore--Real Housewives of Atlanta. Kenya famously can't cook. On her first season of RHoA, she was shown trying to pass off a Trader Joe's meal as her own cooking.

Thanks for the rundown. Very helpful. But how about Skunkboy? That's still cracking me up. 1 hour ago, spiderpig said: Knock-Knock!!!

As long as a forum already exists for the show, you can just click the "Start" to create an episode thread. It's easy. (I haven't watched it yet, but I'll be along shortly for the bitchfest.)

biakbiak September 15, 2016 Share September 15, 2016 So the dude who other than naming his abs was also known for his cooking skills and frequently shown using them, that resulted into a favorite reality quote Quote "You know what? You're excluded from dinner, then. You're excluded from Surf-and-Turf Night. You're excluded from Ravioli Night. You're excluded from Chicken-Cutlet Night." can't figure out how to wash a cutting board in a sink? 1 Link to comment

Skunk Boy is John Henson - a name he gave himself, referring to a peculiar white streak in his hair, way back in his Talk Soup days. Since he embraced it and it's always looked dumb I assume it's some physical thing he can't fix without dying it out. I don't know if he's dying it out now, because I'd have to watch WCOA-CE to find out and I've got asparagus to inspect and Skittles to sort instead. 1 Link to comment
