They definitely sell home cooks short with their assumption that certain moves are exclusively done by chefs.   I can easily ignore that because what else are they going to use as a barometer?  They have to look at skill level.  No one is going to apply for this show unless they consider themselves knowledgeable home cooks, though, so they better pay attention to other cues.  

I love games of any kind and it is fun to have one where viewers can participate.  

I knew the Indonesian woman was a con right away.  She was cooking familiar food from her heritage and it was easy to fool them making dishes that were unfamiliar.  Good casting call!  

The cop had me guessing but I thought the sausage, pepper mac and cheese was a common choice so the jury was out for me until the white rice. Con move. 

I figured the guy with the foam disaster was a new cook who tried to show off.  He was only 24 and probably had very new job.  A con would not use the foam maker; it is not a common tool in home kitchens.  I am a good cook and have no desire to own one.  

The minute the woman who won started working I figured her as a chef right off the bat.  She ripped a live lobster apart to cook it.  What home cooks do that with ease?  

I guessed everyone this time!
