Worst Cooks in America solve a mystery to recreate a dish in “What Happens in Boot Camp”

Forget what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, for the Worst Cooks in America it is all about “What Happens in Boot Camp…” It’s a Vegas themed challenge and things are getting hot in the kitchen.

At the end of this episode, the final four will be left standing and one step closer to the $25,000 grand prize. But first we need our recruits to retrace the Chefs steps and figure out what recipe they will need to cook up for the skill drill cook.

The teams can work together to find the clues, but they will have to cook on their own. The greatest aspect of this skill drill challenge on Worst Cooks in America is how hard it was for everyone to open the locks on the box with the dish they need to recreate! It’s a taste and make challenge!

Week 7 of Worst Cooks in America kicks off with a Vegas themed challenge

In the penultimate episode of Season 26 of Worst Cooks in America our cooks are still struggling to figure out flavors and even correct techniques. In the end, it’s a race to complete the skill drill challenge for all the cooks, but some of the recruits seemed to do better than others.

So which recruits ended up doing the best with this taste and cook challenge? For the blue team Sterling won, while Etherio won on the red team.

Now it is onto the main dish challenge. For this challenge, Chef Anne has her cooks making Scallops with Cauliflower Purée and Apple Bacon Chutney. Where as over on the blue team, Chef Jeff is showing his team how to make Crispy Skin Salmon with Sweet Potatoes and Radicchio Salad.

So what exactly is the challenge for the chefs? They have 60 minutes to replicate the dish they were taught by their chef, while also putting their own spin on the dish.

Right away, Etherio struggles a bit with nerves, as he is cooking directly under chef Anne. In fact, she ends up having to come down and help him get back on track.

There are some struggles in the kitchen, but everyone gets their dishes done. Although Allegra struggled in the final moments as she tripped while getting her plate moved to the end of her station. So how did our recruits do in the end? It seems like everyone did pretty good, although there were some missing ingredients on some plates.

The best dishes come from Sami on the red team and Sterling won on the blue team.

Sadly, the recruits leaving the Worst Cooks in America kitchen are Allegra on the blue team and Etherio on the red team.
