Who is Joey Kinsley? Meet the 'Worst Cooks in America' contestant who served eggshells in omelets

Joey Kinsley is living up to his reputation as a bad cook on the show, a tag that he's carried since the time he was in college

'Worst Cooks in America' has returned for Season 21 on television and from the looks of it, it looks like the showrunners have yet another hit on their hands. Celebrity chef Anne Burrell is joined by Carla Hall for this season and she's already a favorite with the audiences.

Last season it was chef Alex Guarnaschelli who had joined the season for the first time and became an instant hit with viewers. And Carla has been received with the same amount of love and admiration. "Oh, Chef Carla is giving epic face, and I am living for it #worstcooksinamerica," wrote a fan. "Just turned on #worstcooksinamerica with Ms. @carlahall ! Love you, Ms. Carla!!" wrote another. "It is that beautiful time again. Worst cooks! I’m so watching it because my girl Carla is in it with Anne so this is gonna be good. I’m so hype for it #worstcooksinamerica" read another tweet. 

Like the judges, the contestants too, like all previous seasons are very bad cooks but very entertaining and impressive as well. One of them is Joey Kinsley from Rocky River, Ohio. He's living up to his reputation as a bad cook on the show, a tag that he's carried since the time he was in college. According to a report, he once attempted to cook for his fraternity. What could have been a hearty breakfast of omelets turned out to be a disaster as they found chunks of eggshells in them.

However, he's clearly not given up after that experience and he signed up for this show that turns worst cooks into decent ones. His reason for doing so is his girlfriend Paige Wilson. She is studying to become a surgeon and Joey wanted to learn how to cook so that he could make meals for her while she was away, he said. Joey has been assigned to Carla Hall's 'Bodacious Blue Diamonds' team and the celebrity chef named him a "bro-dacious" diamond. He works as a digital marketing specialist by day and is a social media content creator by night. If you wish to keep up with him, he's live-tweeting along with the episodes. 

'Worst Cooks in America' airs on Sundays at 9 pm ET on Food Network.
