"This Always Gives Me Anxiety" — Alton's After-Show
Following tonight's brand-new fried-food episode of Cutthroat Kitchen, the After-Show started innocently enough: Judge Jet Tila had his shopping basket in hand, ready to take on the pantry and gather ingredients to cook. "This always gives me anxiety," he admitted. And no sooner did the judge voice that admission did he start to experience the all-too-familiar pain of host Alton Brown's eviliciousness. First up: the basket. Alton ditched it and instead saddled Jet with a long-billed fish onto which he had to thread his pantry ingredients. From there the situation simply turned more and more diabolical.
"Bring in the giant chicken leg, please," Alton called out as Jet attempted to start his tempura-fried shrimp. Sure enough, Jet found himself about to cook with one leg inside that oversize chicken leg, but he took it in stride — until Alton gave him yet another sabotage, a chicken wing, of course. "Oh, come on," Jet proclaimed. "I'm going to cheat," he added, resorting to using both of his hands to prep, though the competitor wasn't so lucky in the cooking round. With both hands in motion, Jet managed to prep his shrimp and the corresponding batter, and the situation looked manageable. But then eviliciousness struck again: Enter the churro Bobs. "Call your Bobs off!" Jet pleaded with Alton as two Bobs sandwiched Jet as he attempted to move about the kitchen. Both the judge and the host managed to present fried shrimp, though Alton wasn't shy about proclaiming which he thought was the strongest. (Spoiler alert: It wasn't Jet's shrimp.)
