Ep 5. Sweet Showdown

In the fifth episode of season 19 of Worst Cooks in America, titled "Sweet Showdown," the remaining recruits are in for a sweet challenge. The episode kicks off with Chef Anne and Chef Carla giving the contestants a quick lesson on the basics of baking. However, the stakes are high as the contestants will be competing in their first individual challenge.

In the first part of the challenge, the contestants must put their baking skills to the test by creating a delicious dessert. They are given a variety of ingredients to choose from, including fruits, nuts, and chocolate. The judges are looking for creativity and flavor in their desserts, and the contestants only have one hour to complete the challenge.

Next up, the contestants are tasked with making a show-stopping cake. But there's a twist! The judges will randomly select one ingredient for each contestant that they must incorporate into their cake. These ingredients range from blue cheese to hot sauce, and the recruits will have to get creative to make sure the flavors work together.

Finally, in the last part of the challenge, the remaining contestants must make a dessert for a special occasion. They will need to use all the skills they've learned so far to create a dessert that will impress their friends and family. However, this challenge is not as easy as it seems. The contestants will be blindfolded and have to use their sense of taste to determine which ingredients to use.

Throughout the episode, Chef Anne and Chef Carla will be providing guidance and feedback to the contestants. They will be looking for improvement in the contestants' techniques and flavors.

At the end of the sweet showdown, one contestant will be sent home, while the rest will continue on to the next round. Who will rise to the challenge and who will crumble under the pressure? Tune in to find out!
