Tonight at 9pm ET/PT on Food Network is the season 22 finale of Worst Cooks in America: Best of the Worst where the winner will take home a $25,000 prize and bragging rights for their mentor.  There are four contestants remaining competing for the prize. The final four contestants are Sadie Manda (season 17) and Stephanie James (season 21) representing Anne Burrell's team and Domaine Javier (season 20) and Lulu Boykin (season 17) representing Michael Symon's team.



The episode description states, "To start off their final week in boot camp, the remaining recruits go grocery shopping for ingredients to create dishes using everything they've learned. Then chefs Anne Burrell and Michael Symon teach their final two recruits how to make a three-course, restaurant-quality meal. For the last challenge, the two finalists put all their skills to the test in order to impress a panel of culinary experts. Judges Einat Admony, Cliff Crooks and Sohla El-Waylly evaluate the recruits' dishes in a blind taste test and choose the winner of the $25,000 prize."


I will update this post with the winner once the episode airs and feel free to discuss the episode/season in the comments.
