Famed chef Alton Brown is the new mentor and judge this season on 'Worst Cooks in America', and fans are living for his snarky remarks towards his team on the series.

'Worst Cooks in America' Season 18 recently premiered on Food Network. This season, Alton joined primary chef Anne Burrell as the new mentor for the blue team, and let's just say the hell he releases has fans enjoying his appearance on the show.

The 12 contestants that are left remaining on the show are vying for the $25,000 prize and the title of being the best amongst the worst. While Chef Anne is used to running around trying to stop her team from burning the kitchen down, Alton, on the other hand, isn't used to it. His expressions have fans affirming that it is his cry for help.

But as much as Alton tries to get control of his team, they seem to be doing just the opposite of what he says. Like Leo, even though Alton told him that pineapple is the death fruit, and nothing scares him more than having pineapple salad, he still chose to do so. It's almost like everything about him screams help to get him out of the kitchen. But sadly, he will have to endure it for another nine weeks.



 

Though Alton seems to be dreading the day he agreed to appear on the show, fans seem to be loving him.

Taking to Twitter a fan wrote, "Alton is the #WorstCooks upgrade we didnt know we needed."

"Come on #foodnetwork.... Are you seeing how much we love #AltonBrown?! #WorstCooks PLEASE bring back #CutThroatKitchen and #GoodEats #goodeatsthereturn We all need more Alton in our lives....." a fan shared. While another wrote, "Alton screaming at the pan is life. #WorstCooks." 

"Dearest Alton, your facial expressions and perfect snark are giving me life. However, I do wonder if you lost a bet in a former life. #WorstCooks #BestHost," a fan shared. Adding to that another said, "'...I’ll probably eliminate you next week." You can take @altonbrown out of the Cutthroat Kitchen but you can’t take the cutthroat out of Alton! #WorstCooks." 

'Worst Cooks in America' Season 18 airs every Sunday night only on Food Network. Check your local listings for more information.
