The sabotages can be divided into three primary categories. The first group are the ones that impact the ingredients in the dish. This can include losing their food basket or simply replacing key items. Statistically, these have the most impact and should therefore solicit the most bids. The second group are the challenges which impact the ability to cook or prepare the food. This includes limiting the chefs use of knives, heating sources, or mixing vessels. These can have a moderate impact when combined; however, on their own the recipient is rarely sent home for these. The final type of sabotage are the time wasters. These require the contestant to make hot dogs, remove sesame seeds, or chip shrimp from ice. These challenges are rarely the tipping point of the round and rather serve as the nail in the coffin when someone is already struggling.
Cutthroat Kitchen Show Overview & Strategy
Cutthroat Kitchen Show Casting Process
The first step in applying for the show is to complete the application form here. The form has about 25 questions, many of which are simple one word responses such as First Name, Facebook ID, etc. This form could easily be completed in about 30 minutes. Once the form has been completed, if the casting team is interested in you, they will contact you and setup an camera test. For people who live in Los Angeles, this could be in person, but for everyone else it will be via Skype. There is a pretty quick turnaround time between when you submit the form and being contacted by the producers.
The next season of Cutthroat Kitchen is casting in December 2014 and January 2015. The filming occurs in Los Angeles and usually takes 2-3 days on set for each episode.
