Ep 1. Famous Dish-asters

In season 19 episode 1 of Worst Cooks in America, titled "Famous Dish-asters," 14 new contestants are introduced, all of whom have been nominated by family and friends as the worst cooks in their lives. Hosts Anne Burrell and Alex Guarnaschelli immediately put the recruits to the test with a classic challenge: cooking their signature dishes.

However, things take a turn as the contestants are asked to recreate famous dishes that have been botched by celebrities in the past. From Gordon Ramsay's scrambled eggs to Chrissy Teigen's chicken pot pie, the recruits are in for a challenging task as they attempt to redeem these famous dish-asters.

The contestants are divided into two teams, with Anne and Alex taking turns mentoring and leading them through the challenge. Things get heated quickly as some of the contestants struggle to follow basic instructions, while others shine with their creativity and taste.

As the clock ticks down, both teams frantically try to finish their dishes before the judges taste them. While some are a complete disaster, others surprise both the judges and their teammates with their improved cooking skills.

The judges, food critics and chefs in their own right, critique the dishes based on taste, presentation, and execution, making it clear that this competition won't be easy. At the end of the challenge, one team comes out on top, while the other faces elimination.

In the elimination round, the contestants are asked to make a classic breakfast dish — waffles. While some have never made the dish before, others are confident in their skills. But when Anne and Alex announce a twist to the challenge, the recruits are thrown for a loop and may have to resort to some innovative thinking to stay in the competition.

As tensions rise, the contestants work against the clock to make waffles that'll impress the judges and avoid elimination. The judges once again critique the dishes, announcing who will stay and who will be sent home.

All in all, this season premiere episode of Worst Cooks in America sets the tone for what promises to be a fun and exciting season, with plenty of disasters, triumphs, and unexpected twists to come.
