In this episode of Worst Cooks in America, titled "Choux Ready For This?", the remaining contestants are in for a pastry-filled challenge. The show begins with a Skill Drill where the chefs have to transform cream puff pastry into a dessert. The pastry has to be delicate, yet sturdy enough to hold the filling and not crumble easily. While some of the chefs have experience working with pastries, others seem to be struggling.
The contestants are then introduced to their Main Dish Challenge, where they have to cook for renowned pastry chef, Zac Young. The challenge involves creating a giant savory cream puff tower filled with various fillings such as cheese, bacon, and vegetables. The chefs have to work in pairs, and there seems to be a lot of discord amongst them. Some pairs have trouble agreeing on the fillings, while others struggle with the construction of the tower.
As the time ticks down, the chefs become increasingly frantic. One chef has trouble with their pastry dough, which becomes too runny. As a result, their tower starts to droop and fall apart. Another chef's filling starts to leak out of the pastry, resulting in a soggy mess. Chef Young, who is judging the challenge, seems unimpressed with most of the dishes.
In the end, the chefs are called to the judging table, where Chef Anne and Chef Tyler reveal the winning and losing teams. The winning pair's cream puff tower is deemed the best, while the losing pair's tower is deemed the worst and the chef is sent home.
The episode ends with a preview for the upcoming episode, which hints at the chefs having to prepare an entire meal using only one pan. The competition is clearly heating up, and tensions are running high amongst the remaining contestants. Fans of Worst Cooks in America are sure to be on the edge of their seats, wondering who will be sent home next and who will ultimately become the next Worst Cook.
