The moment the Blue Team lost the game challenge on Food Network's Worst Cooks in America, I feared how cutthroat host Alton Brown would be to them He didn't disappoint: throwing strawberries off a plate, hovering over them, and requesting to take one of Anne Burrell's eliminated players, because even they are better The episode[...]
