Was Brittany Carel also on Worst Cooks in America?
Yes. Brittany “Brit” Carel also competed on Worst Cooks in America, back in season 15.
The season aired in 2019 and saw a 23-year-old Brit team up with chef Tyler Florence. Tyler helped Brit turn from Worst Cook to runner-up in the competition. Brit placed second, with stay-at-home mom Allison Wolfe placing first.
It’s clear that the culinary lessons Tyler Florence gave Brit paid off, as she secured a spot on MasterChef: Legends!
