The Taste Season 3 Episode 1 Recap: Who Will Taste Greatness?

Thursday marked the return of ABC’s culinary competition, as The Taste Season 3 Episode 1 saw a new crop of amateurs and professionals compete. With only 16 spots available in the search for America’s best undiscovered cook, The Taste Season 3 Episode 1 was a delicious battle royale indeed. Watch The Taste Season 3 Episode 1 Online We begin with the blind auditions, in which the judges will taste a bite blind. If you watch The Taste online , you know it’s make or break early on! Firefighter Dan’s crab cake impressed Nigella and Ludo, giving Dan the choice of celebrity advisor, not unlike NBC’s The Voice. He went with Ludo. Mika crashed and burned, however, while Renee Oteri from The Bachelor was chosen to be on Nigella’s team. Sure beats Juan Pablo’s team. Eric impressed all four judges with his dish, and he chose Anthony. With the teams chosen, they delved into the action with the theme of “childhood.” The task: Each mentor assigned a type of dish for their team to cook, then chose the best dish to represent the team in a blind taste test by Stephanie Izard. That renowned chef decided that Nigella’s team had the worst bite, which in turn meant that Nigella had to choose one of her cooks to be sent home. P.K. seemed like the consensus pick to get the chop, but Nigella sent home Renee. Again, it sure beats getting booted out by Juan Pablo Galavis .

Bill Nye Eliminated on Dancing With the Stars, Goes Out in Style

Bill Nye the Science Guy was given the boot on last night’s Dancing With the Stars results show, but at least he went out in style with his final routine. After ignoring doctors’ orders to stay off his torn quadricep, the 57-year-old opted instead to dance a modified “jazz” routine to Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky.” It was … awkward. And ridiculous, yet brave and sort of awesome. Bill Nye and Tyne Stecklein – Dancing with the Stars Karina Smirnoff spoke of the “superb job” Bill’s partner Tyne Stecklein did at constructing a story and dance around essentially a man with a peg leg. It was pretty impressive, if you look at it from Tyne’s end. Despite Nye’s best efforts at wooing the judges with his strange, hobbled sex-robot routine, the couple was the second to be voted off the show in Season 17. Do you think Bill deserved to go home last night?   Yes. America (and the judges) got it right. No! Should’ve been Christina! No! Should’ve been Brant! View Poll » The Week 3 leaderboard on Dancing With the Stars: Brant Daugherty (27) Corbin Bleu, Christina Milian (26) Elizabeth Berkley, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi (25) Leah Remini, Bill Engvall, Amber Riley (24) Jack Osbourne (22) Valerie Harper, Bill Nye (16)
