Worst Cooks in America Audience Reviews

SunnyHello Nice effects though.
ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
sherryberry-02830 This used to be a good show. It was interesting to see contestants replicate Anne's and Tylers dishes. Now (which I believe is due to the contestant's amateur comedy shtick's) the contestants are given food and just told to make what they want. With all the stupid cut scenes and faked kitchen disasters there seems to be no time for cooking instructions by Anne and Tyler. This show is being ruined by to much attempted comedy and not enough cooking. The contestants come off as people interested to acting careers not just regular folks who want to learn how to cook. Which makes the show kind of phony from the getgo.
bnsumner This is by far the worst season of worst cooks and I'm a die hard Food Network Fan. Over reacting (and acting). More slapstick than anything else. Carson was horrible showing his gayness and Chips star (glad I forgot his name) was obnoxious. I know they are B and C rated actors/comedians but give me a break it's not watchable. It doesn't even appear real. This insults us as viewers. Last season was great, this season, not so much. Hope next season is more entertaining and enjoyable. Sorry
Paul Creeden As a home cook with restaurant experience, I really enjoyed this show. The only objection I have is the occasional exploitation of people who should not even have passed the audition. Some of the contestants have clear "issues" from the get-go which could have been respected prior to selection. I'm not talking about contestants who are just plain funny or klutzes in the kitchen. I am talking about those who are obviously troubled or challenged beyond following recipes.Beyond that objection, I enjoyed everything about this show, but I watched it on Netflix without commercials and could fast forward through repetitions and recaps. Big plus there. The educational value of the show for a novice cook is impressive. Consider that the viewer is getting food education from top chefs and food educators while being entertained. That's a win-win any way you look at it. But, it means you have to like working with food and feeding people good food. Just watching this as reality TV would get very tired because of the repetitive nature of the competitions. I myself would like to see all eight seasons on Netflix.
Littlelep This series of programs highlights how really difficult it is to be a competent cook and is mildly educational, but it truly encapsulates the sad side of all reality shows. The competitors may not be the very worst cooks in this country, but they are true novices and the viewer learns more about how not to cook than about techniques that can be helpful in the ordinary home kitchen. Furthermore, there is hyped tension between the chef-instructors and among the competitors that is not as dramatic as on other reality shows, but that makes the viewer uncomfortable and is not entertaining.One may empathize with the pitiful people that are being humiliated, but there is nothing satisfying in their performances to offset the depression gathering over the weeks. These are like simple children who have been denied a mother's example for their whole lives -- not just in the kitchen, but in life. The chefs are somewhat interesting; but at the end of each hour, the viewer feels cheated. The idea may have seemed good on the planning board; but in reality, it is a true dud!
