Worst Cooks in America 2 Episode 2

The Worst Cooks in America keep showing why they deserve that dubious honor. Adult Attention Deficit Disorder is legion among these people.

Chef Anne and Chef Robert walked them through making an omelet. Trixie will admit that while I consider myself to be a pretty proficient cook, omelets are not my specialty. They aren't a complete disaster but let's just say they while they taste pretty good they aren't that pretty when completed and I'm glad I'm just cooking for myself. But these people have two professional chefs walking them through and showing them the whole process and the techniques. Chef Anne emphasizes they should use only two tablespoons of oil and recruit Jeff uses what looked like two cups, instead. Pat, the stay-at-home mom has severe egg issues and refused to try the omelet dish until forced. Matt is so nervous and his hands shake so badly when he's cutting or dicing I'm surprised he hasn't lost a digit yet, though he did seem to get it together on the later challenge. Needless to say, my omelet would have beaten any of theirs.

For the second challenge Chef Robert and Anne each demonstrated a simple pork dish and emphasized to the teams the challenge was about observing and learning. Priscilla the teacher kept referring to 'scallions' as 'scallops' then later revealed to confessional camera that she didn't know what a scallop was. So apparently along with never learning to cook she has never been to a grocery store or a restaurant. Jeff decided that free-styling his pork dish would get him points with Chef Robert then he severely overcooked the pork. Kelly the determined vegetarian has taken to heart the neatness counts admonition but cut only one pork chop for the two chop dish and threw out the rest; wrapping it up and refrigerating the remainder never entered her mind. One recruit is an operating room nurse and the another is a mechanical engineer but the orderly thinking required to do their day jobs gets thrown out the window when it comes time to cook. Alas, Anthony the mechanical engineer had his days numbered and was eliminated. Jeff's free-styling got him booted, too.
