Southern California contestants describe what it’s like on the set of the Food Network series.
When producers were casting Season 25 of “Worst Cooks in America,” they weren’t just looking for culinary failures.“They didn’t know anything about my cooking skills,” said Tina Kim of Koreantown in Los Angeles. “They just contacted me and, lo and behold, they were lucky. I didn’t know how to cook.”
Contestants face a series of challenges and eliminations until the final episode on Feb. 5, when a survivor will win $25,000.The show is made in New York City, but half of the contestants, like Kim, live in Southern California. “For two years I sat on my couch and watched K-dramas non-stop. I watched 14 hours a day. And then towards the end of corona, I said to myself, ‘I’m going to start my TikTok account since I’ve watched every single Korean drama.’”Kim wound up on Team Blue, coached by Ferguson, who she described as very positive and welcoming.“It’s fun and stressful at the same time, because we’re all in a pressure cooker. I think one of the challenges was only 45 minutes. And the chefs give us elaborate meals.
