Messy chefs all across America will be assembling at one place in another season of Worst Cooks In America Season 26. From all-new love-themed challenges to exciting dishes, this season of the Food Network show is one to look forward to.
Airing on television since January 3rd, 2010, Worst Cooks In America is a cooking competition and reality series where we see a bunch of bad cooks competing with each other and trying to come up with the best dish they can possibly make. Since none of these “Chefs” really know how to cook, Worst Cooks In America offers some of the most hilarious cooking mess-ups in the history of Food TV shows.
The recruits that manage to improve their cooking skills significantly and can impress the judges with their dishes will be awarded $25,000, as well as a special Food Network Cooking set. Up until now, the Red Team has been headed by Chef Anne Burrell, while the Blue Team will be led by Jeff Mauro.
Worst Cooks In America Season 25: Recap
The previous season of Worst Cooks In America began airing earlier this year on January 1st, 2023. With Darnell and Anne heading the teams, the last season hosted all kinds of popular influencers from various social media platforms. Titled “Viral Sensations“, this particular season was also special as it was where “Chef Like” was introduced, a kind of pin that allowed contestants to get a secret advantage in the competition.
However, only those with the most amount of pins could use it. In season 25, we saw the pin be used by Paris and Michael to exchange a certain member of their team during a competition. After many interesting challenges and entertaining twists, the finalists were Michael Judson, Paris Nicholson, and Nick Trawick. Nick managed to truly polish his culinary skills and present the judges with an impressive dish, making him the winner of season 25.
