Jessica Wood If you’re a foodie fan tuning into this season of MasterChef: Legends, you might recognise contestant Brittany Carel from another show… Worst Cooks in America!
MasterChef season 11, which is being stylised as MasterChef: Legends, kicked off on Wednesday, June 2nd on Fox.
This season sees regular judges Gordon Ramsay, Aarón Sánchez and Joe Bastianich joined in the kitchen by a series a “Legends.” First up was Emeril Lagasse, then Curtis Stone in episode 2 (June 9th). More influential culinary figures will be entering the MasterChef kitchen to dish out white aprons to the best competitors.
One of the contestants looking for a white apron in MasterChef: Legends episode 2 was Brittany “Brit” Carel. But is that the same Brit who also appeared on Worst Cooks in America? Let’s take a look.

Was Brittany Carel also on Worst Cooks in America?
Yes. Brittany “Brit” Carel also competed on Worst Cooks in America, back in season 15.
The season aired in 2019 and saw a 23-year-old Brit team up with chef Tyler Florence. Tyler helped Brit turn from Worst Cook to runner-up in the competition. Brit placed second, with stay-at-home mom Allison Wolfe placing first.
It’s clear that the culinary lessons Tyler Florence gave Brit paid off, as she secured a spot on MasterChef: Legends!
