Get ready to cringe, cheer, and maybe even choke a little because Worst Cooks in America is back with a brand-new Season 30, and the guest list is pure reality-TV chaos. This time around, no home cooks. No semi-pros. Just a gaggle of celebs, athletes, and infamous personalities who can probably deliver a zinger on camera but maybe not a decent plate of pasta.
