Top 10 Rejected Food Network Challenge Ideas
Posted on July 10th 2009 by FNH Guest Blogger

10. The Bitterness Challenge
Gather all of the past Food Network Star winners (except for Guy… please, no more Guy) and let them be on TV just one more time.

9. Bong Water Hotdog
Stoner sous chefs from college town eateries half heartedly compete to see who can cook up the best bong water wiener. No condiments are off limits, and the winner gets the entire Cheech and Chong movie collection – and every Seth Rogan film – on VHS.

8. Britney Spears Sculpture
Hollywood chefs team up with Access Hollywood on-air personalities to make a lifelike edible replica of Britney Spears. Contestants are limited to using three ingredients, two of which must be cigarettes and Cheetos.

7. Roadkill Thrill
Average Appalachian chefs turn fresh roadkill into their own unique main course that could ultimately be worth $10,000.

6. Throw Down Bobby Flay
Contestants throw Bobby Flay down a flight of stairs in this wacky challenge where everyone wins.

5. Former Child Star Cake Challenge
Adults who were famous child TV stars bake a cake that showcases the most disturbing thing they did for money once their  fame was gone.

4. Glass of Water
Contestants from around the globe have 10 hours to pour the most delicious glass of water. Boring, but cost effective to the network – and isn’t that really what it’s really all about?

3. The “Grade B or Less” Burger Challenge
Competitive grillers gather in a large mall parking lot to see who can grill the best USDA Grade B or less burger. Contestants are awarded extra points for every judge that contracts E-coli.

2. Transformers 2 Cake
Geeky pastry chefs from all over the country are given $300 million worth of ingredients,  and are instructed to make the worst possible tasting cake of all time. Hosted by Duff Goldman.

1. Bull Dung Challenge
Top chefs compete to make the best tasting bull dung entrée. Finally – dung ends up IN the mouths of the judges, instead of just coming out.

    I think that the contestants would die of alcohol poisoning.

    I’m all for throwing Bobby Flay into a landfill. Given the quality of food he’s producing these days, that would be fitting.

    Roadkill is SUCH an unexploited resource.
    Seriously – plus, environmentally speaking !

    I’d love to be a contestant on Thrown Down Bobby Flay. Shards of broken glass littering the stairs could be added in the later rounds for some variety. One person that would provide a serious challenge in Sandra’s drinking challenge would be Ted Kennedy.

    Compete with Ina to see who can throw a better party to become the most popular fag hag in the hamptons!!!

    I love the concept of throwing down Bobby Flay! It should totally be a show.

    11) Stevie Famulari’s Disasterpiece Challenge!

    Contestants will must come up with a pretentious food “concept” and create an end-product that looks like an overturned dumpster/compost heap. Additional points will be awarded based on smugness and flamability.

      Combine this with Aunt Sandy’s drinking show and I could be an unstoppable force of shear shit.

      Also, most awesome site. ^_^

    Dude, you are seriously funny! If you and Jillian ever decide to have children together, you’re likely to produce a super-race of hilarious kids, who will eventually take over the world!

    My son Christian (11) suggests the judges design and bake the cakes and the top 4 Cake Challenge winners get to judge them. I think it’s a great idea.

    Most Effective Tablescape Challenge

    Hosted by Aunt Sandy, this challenge inspires four competitors to create the tackiest, most horrible tablescape possible in 8 hours, using only items from garage sales and the local dump. The winner gets their tablescape auctioned off on ebay for much less than what was expected.
