In episode 6 of season 24 of Worst Cooks in America, the contestants are taken back to the 90s with a Saved by the Bell themed cooking challenge. The chefs, Anne Burrell and Carla Hall, start off by teaching the recruits the basics of making pizza dough from scratch, followed by the task of creating their own unique pizza toppings.
The recruits are split into two teams and face off in a relay challenge where they have to race to the kitchen to add their toppings to the pizza before running back to tag their teammate in to finish the next step. While some recruits struggle with the basics of making pizza dough and working with unfamiliar ingredients, others show great creativity in their toppings and cooking techniques.
Next, the contestants are faced with a tricky skill drill where they have to fillet and cook whole fish. Most contestants struggle with this challenge, with many of them failing to properly fillet the fish and leaving behind scales or bones. Chef Anne and Carla give them tips on how to properly handle the fish and create a delicious meal.
In the main dish challenge, the contestants must create a modern twist on classic 90s TV dinners. They must take a dish like Salisbury steak or chicken pot pie and turn it into a gourmet meal using the skills they've learned throughout the competition. The contestants face some tough criticisms from the judges, but some of them surprise even themselves with their culinary creations.
As always, the episode ends with a nerve-wracking elimination challenge. The two contestants with the worst dishes must face off in a cook-off, and one of them will be sent home. The remaining recruits are one step closer to winning the $25,000 prize and the title of Best Cook in America, but there are still challenges ahead and only the strongest will survive.
Overall, this episode showcases the contestants' progress throughout the competition as they face increasingly difficult challenges. The Saved by the Bell theme adds a fun, nostalgic touch to the episode, but the focus remains on the cooking skills and techniques that the recruits are learning. Fans of the show will not be disappointed with this exciting and entertaining episode.
