Ep 3. Sauce Boss

In the third episode of season 21 of Worst Cooks in America, titled "Sauce Boss," the remaining contestants are put to the test with a challenge that focuses on mastering the art of sauces. With the help of mentor chefs Anne Burrell and Michael Symon, the contestants are taught how to make a variety of sauces, from classic tomato sauce to hollandaise.

The episode starts with a skill drill, where the contestants are asked to make a classic tomato sauce. Most of the contestants struggle with this task, with some burning the sauce and others forgetting key ingredients.

Following the skill drill, the main challenge is revealed. The contestants are divided into teams and asked to cook a dish that features a sauce. The dishes must be inspired by the different regions of the United States, and the sauces must be made from scratch.

The contestants are given one hour to cook their dishes, and they quickly get to work. However, some struggle with the sauces, with one contestant even admitting that they have never made a sauce from scratch before.

As the contestants cook, Chef Anne and Chef Michael make their rounds, offering tips and critiques. Chef Anne is impressed with some of the contestants, but also notes that others are struggling. Chef Michael, on the other hand, is blown away by the flavors of some of the dishes.

Once the dishes are completed, the contestants present them to Chef Anne and Chef Michael for judging. The judges taste the dishes and offer feedback to the contestants, commenting on the quality of the sauces and the overall presentation of the dishes.

In the end, one team is declared the winner, while the losing team must face the dreaded blind elimination challenge. The contestants are asked to recreate a dish that Chef Anne and Chef Michael have prepared, and they must do so without seeing or tasting the dish.

The blind elimination challenge proves to be difficult for some contestants, who struggle to identify the flavors and textures of the dish. Others rise to the occasion, impressing the judges with their skills.

At the end of the episode, one contestant is sent home, while the remaining contestants continue on in the competition, one step closer to winning the grand prize of $25,000.

Overall, "Sauce Boss" is an exciting episode of Worst Cooks in America, filled with drama, suspense, and delicious food. The focus on sauces adds an interesting twist to the competition, and the blind elimination challenge offers a new level of difficulty for the contestants. Fans of the show are sure to enjoy this episode, and those new to the show will find it to be a great introduction to the series.
