Ep 4. BOOOOT Camp!

In Worst Cooks in America season 9 episode 4 titled "BOOOOT Camp!", the remaining recruits must face their fears in a spooky Halloween-themed challenge. Chefs Anne Burrell and Tyler Florence start off by demonstrating how to properly carve a pumpkin, but the recruits struggle to follow their instructions. They then must create a dish using the pumpkin they carved and other unconventional ingredients, such as cow tongue and blood oranges.

While some recruits, like Lisa and Jonathan, embrace the challenge and create impressive dishes, others, like Kristina and Erika, struggle and succumb to the pressure of the competition. Kristina's pumpkin soup lacks seasoning and is deemed bland by the chefs, while Erika's lack of knife skills leads to an unevenly cooked dish.

Next, the recruits are tasked with recreating a dish that the chefs have prepared. They must pay attention to the details and flavors in order to replicate the dish as closely as possible. However, some of the recruits, like Eddie and Cory, have trouble following the recipe and end up with dishes that are lacking in flavor and presentation.

Finally, the recruits must use the skills they have learned in previous challenges to cook a meal for their loved ones. Chef Anne surprises the recruits by bringing in their family members, who are eager to taste their cooking. The recruits have a limited amount of time to prepare the meal and must deal with distractions and mishaps along the way.

In the end, the judges taste the dishes and choose the best and worst cooks of the day. One recruit is sent home, while the others move on in their journey to become better cooks.

Overall, "BOOOOT Camp!" is a challenging and entertaining episode that tests the recruits' skills and ability to handle pressure. With Halloween-themed challenges and surprise visits from loved ones, this episode is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
