I really dispise most reality cooking shows-Top Chef, whatever that wedding cake competition is called, anything with Gordon Ramsey-until this little gem of a cooking show called "Worst Cooks in America" caught my eye. The show is based on the concept that 24 people, who completely fullfil any kind of diversity requirement the Food Network puts forth for its shows, have been nominated by their loved ones, etc. The first show starts off with each of them making a signiture dish, among them triple chocolate pancakes and a can of tomato soup, and presenting it to the host/judges-some dude named Beau (not Bridges) and that Anna chick who looks like the female Guy Fieri. I about fall off my chair laughing. They spit out at least three of the dishes. Amazingly, after the commercial break, they set off to make some sort of prawn and clam soup with saffron among other expensive and ostensibly unknown ingredients. Not enough shit on fire nor tears in the first episode-but wait! the preview to next week's episode has EVERY SINGLE FEMALE CRYING as well as the token gay guy. Yes!
