As the weeks go on, Boot Camp is becoming much more challenging for the remaining celebrity contestants on "Worst Cooks in America." Last night, Kendra Wilkinson, Barry Williams, Ellen Cleghorne and Jenni "Jwoww" Farley learned how to make pasta from scratch, which is something that some experienced chefs don't even do. While Wilkinson and Jwoww nearly perfected the task, Williams and Cleghorne just couldn't figure it out, leaving them in the bottom two.
For their main dish challenge, these four chefs, who are significantly improving, had to work with seafood, which was a nightmare for every single one of them, as well as make pasta from scratch, which Wilkinson didn't even realize was something people could do. Cleghorne was really in lala land the entire time, and because of this she just couldn't produce a dish that looked or tasted anything like it was supposed to. Her final result had way too much cheese and some burnt spices, leaving mentor Rachael Ray to tell her that even though this was her worst dish so far, to just shake it off as mistakes do happen. Williams, on the other hand, couldn't figure out how to make his pasta thin and ended up serving mentor Anne Burrell noodles as thick as fingers. While his flavors were all there, it just couldn't stand up to Jwoww's perfect pasta, and Burrell had to put him in the bottom.
During the blind elimination challenge, Williams and Cleghorne went head to head to create a simple pasta and red sauce dish in just 10 minutes. While they both seemed confident and even produced some pretty beautiful-looking meals, Williams' lack of sauce and poor chopping skills sent him home. Everyone seemed extremely sad to see him go, as his kooky personality really lit up the room, but after several times in the bottom two, he just couldn't keep up any longer.
"My goal was to gain knowledge and information and basically to explore the creativity of cooking, because I knew it could be done," Williams told Food Network after he turned in his apron. "There's so much to deal with food...and I just didn't have any of the background or information - or training. And so my goal was to both gain information, and then information that would lead me to the next stage of that. And I feel like I've accomplished that. It's been a good competition. It's been surprisingly challenging in terms of it being fatiguing...but I really enjoyed it. And I liked all of the people that were on the two different teams. I feel like I've gained some friends."
Williams' elimination left just Jwoww on Burrell's red team to compete against Wilkinson and Cleghorne, and Williams is really rooting for Jwoww to win it all. "Jenni, my teammate. She's had my back all through this competition," he explained on who he thinks should win. "And I really have felt supported by her a hundred percent, so I'd like to go ahead and see her take the win."
