The final four contestants on Worst Cooks in America all saw their pans go up in flames last night, but for once, the whoosh of fire and threat of singed eyebrows was the desired effect. Yes, for the final elimination challenge, Georg, Kelsey, Joshie (pictured), and Carlos were all asked to make flambéed desserts. Kelsey, who claimed she had the edge on the Blue Team because she was “smarter than Georg,” went on to explain that she had no idea what the word flambé meant, not that such a crisis was going to wipe the enthusiastic smile off her face.
