I know all of this is for entertainment, not education, but they pretend they're actually teaching these people how to go home and cook. If that was true, teaching them how to break down a cow to get one steak would be a pretty stupid lesson. Also, I hate boneless meat (other than filet mignon). Not that my personal preference has any bearing, but boneless meat is a peeve and I thus must grumble every time I see it.
I find it difficult to believe neither Melissa nor Vivica (I think those were the two) knew what piece of meat - since pretty much all, if not all, the other options were innards - the beef tartare was made from. Their guesses were so dumb - including Melissa guessing testicles, when she had demonstrated just a couple of rounds earlier that she can readily identify them by texture - that I found it entirely scripted.
I don't think they should have peeled the kiwi for a challenge in which one is going by feel only. They still could have gotten their testicles jokes with the fuzz on.
As I mentioned before, I don't think I've seen Vivica A. Fox in anything other than Independence Day, but she's entertaining the hell out of me in this. And she's pretty much the only one. I loved Melissa on Reba, and she made some very cheesy material work there, but not here; she's had a couple of funny moments, but they've been few and far between.
My mom called when the contestants were just starting to cook their steaks and we didn't hang up until a few minutes left to go, so I tuned back in with a big "Ack!" upon seeing Vivica in the running for elimination. Bummer, and they could have at least tasted the food, but you can't serve grey steak and stay.
