Before long, the staff brought up pots, pans, and other cookware. Then came all sorts of ingredients, laid out for the contestants to choose from.
On stage, the executives were all worried. When had they ever set foot in a kitchen? They could barely tell oil from salt, let alone cook a meal.
And so, the moment the competition began, the cooking segment turned into a hilarious spectacle.
"It's over, it's over! This mandarin fish is making a break for it! Quick, grab it! We can't let it disappoint the audience..." Ryan Gable, who was trying to prep the fish, couldn't hold it down. It flopped and hopped all over the stage—a single fish, and it had left him a complete, disheveled mess.
"How am I supposed to deal with this crab? Ow, ow, it pinched me! It pinched me! Help! ...If I get injured, does this count as a workplace accident? Can I file for insurance?" Serena Caine had wanted to make steamed crab, but ended up getting pinched and was now joking about it on stage with a laugh.
