'Worst Cooks in America' Season 20 Pulled by Food Network After Winner Charged With Murder

https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/worst-cooks-in-america-season-20-pulled-by-food-network-after-winner-charged-with-murder/ar-BB1d4Nin

Food Network has pulled Season 20 of competition "Worst Cooks in America" from circulation after its winner, Ariel Robinson, was charged with the murder of a 3-year-old child.

The season is no longer available on streaming platforms, including Discovery, Inc.'s new streaming service, Discovery+, or the Food Network website.

"Worst Cooks in America," hosted by Anne Burrell and Alex Guarnaschelli for Season 20, follows "two premier chefs" who "work to transform a team of hopeless cooks from kitchen disasters to kitchen masters, and the last recruit standing wins $25,000." Robinson, a teacher, won the show's most recent installment on Aug. 2.

Biggest Loser meets Hell's Kitchen. Just imagine the pitch meeting in the network office.
