Former ‘MasterChef’ Star Derrick Fox Launches, ‘A Bunch of Losers’ Podcast Featuring Reality Shows’ Biggest Losers

MasterChef’s Derrick Fox gets real with reality TV’s biggest losers on his new ‘A Bunch of Losers’ podcast.

 

“Food is such a great connector, and I’ve met so many amazing people through my work as a chef,” said Fox. There are many incredible stories, especially from contestants in other TV competitions and reality shows. They lost, but they are still flourishing, and A Bunch of Losers will allow people to know them and their life before, during, and after not winning.”

The first episode of A Bunch of Losers will feature Fox’s co-finalist and arch-nemesis from season 6 of MasterChef, Stephen Lee. Fox views Lee as one of the most exciting contestants in the show’s history. The two have unfinished business and will share the details of their friendly competition in the podcast’s premiere.

Fox partnered with video production and marketing agency Front Runner Films to co-produce the podcast. “Derrick has a dynamic, rock star personality which transfers into his culinary work. He brings that same flare and attitude to this podcast,” says Front Runner Films’ founder and creative director, Tyler Nimmons.
