    Loved this show until season 23

    I'm one of those people who has the tv on all day. I like to find a show and just let it run endlessly.

    And this one WAS great. Watching people go from being CONVINCED that they just absolutely could not cook to being able to hear honest feedback, take it in, and make a change was really extraordinary to watch.

    Until season 23. The games became absurd, as did the contestants. The amount of screaming and carrying on makes the show unwatchable. And if you watch season 23 (which featured pairs of contestants, who knew each other) the loudest most obnoxious people are the ones that make it to the finale. Both of them. (as a result, I did not watch the finale.)

    And then they come back, again, and again. I don't know why they're called "audience favorites" (Season 25, episode 9) because if you look at the individual show ratings, you'll see that this did not do anything for the show.

    Sad. Because, even though I can cook, I actually learned a lot watching this. But I am done.

    What happened?

    I remember the first few season, my favorite were with Bobby Flay. They were helping people, giving out tips, and it was fun to watch. I just started watching a later season (with BF) and now there's sound effects, voice overs, and other stupid stuff that's unnecessary. The show has lost its appeal and now it's entertainment instead of learning.

    It's enjoyable--and makes you feel so superior...isn't that awful?!

    While this series is not yet complete, I have watched all the episodes and enjoyed them very much. I hate to admit it, but I think I liked the shows simply because unlike other Food Network shows, this one made me feel like a master chef in comparison! Heck, most 7 year-olds would feel superior to the people chosen for this odd competition! Plus, it's sad to admit, but I liked laughing at the food that some of them created--it was so scary it was almost surreal!

    In episode one, two big-time chefs recruit teams for each other that are made up of some of the worst cooks you could imagine. Unlike the very closely controlled format of later shows, the potential team members were invited to bring in ANYTHING and have the chefs evaluate their appropriateness for the show. What they did not know is that the ones chosen were NOT those who made acceptable dishes, but those who made the most horrible food--and soe dmishes were amazingly gross and funny. The biggest problem with most of these potential competitors appears to be confidence--they are, in most cases, just too afraid of cooking and it shows in the very scary 'things' they concoct. On the other hand, a few were simply clueless.

    In subsequent episodes, the two teams are given very specific tasks and the two chefs demonstrate a variety of techniques and the participants try to replicate them as best they can. And, each episode the teams lose a member--the one who does poorest.

    Overall, a bizarre sort of show but one that is oddly addictive--and, in a sick way, kind of funny. It's fun to watch and very different from the usual fare on this channel. I'll be most likely updating this review after the series concludes.

    Let's drop the celebrities

    I understand Worst Cooks in America is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, and some of the contestants can be (mildly) amusing. You can see some improvement over the weeks in cooking ability. But I started Worst Cooks in America -Celebrity Edition 2020. First of all it's questionable whether these people are celebrities. To refer to them as "stars" is insulting to people who actually deserve that title. And, sorry, but if these people aren't acting they must be the stupidest, most annoying contestants ever. They really feel they are special; they must be the only ones.

    " Celebrity "

    Did not enjoy , hard to watch Celebrities if you want to call them that...(Tonya Harding?? ). Seemed most were busy acting for camera than actually cooking. Enjoyed other season so maybe this was due to the lacklustre quality of contestants.
