Watch Cutthroat Kitchen
The "cutthroat" element of the show's name begins after the contestants have claimed their ingredients. While each contestant begins the game with $25,000, the show includes the option of bidding on ways to sabotage competition, such as changing up allowed equipment or even swapping the ingredient baskets of two players.
A judge is called in at the end of each round. This judge is uninformed of any hardships or sabotage inflicted upon the players and renders the verdict of who is to be eliminated during each of the show's three rounds. The final round of the show changes by placing the auction during the cooking section. The winner of the show leaves with only his or her remaining cash.
