I recall a couple years ago when most couldn't cook an omelet.  Puck showed them and made a pretty ratty looking thing himself

 

And, Marcel won a quickfire on one of the special one-off shows by making an omelet.

 

On episode 3, I was surprised again at how many contestants (well 4) didn't really have a grasp of this culinary school basic. I worked as a breakfast cook for about a year and at one point could make two at once, one in each hand. Oh, and I laugh at the 15 minute timer on this one. Five minutes should have been more than enough. -And, you don't need the non-stick pans. HERE's an unedited, real-time video of Julia Child making a French omelet in a plain steel pan. Anyone attempting to go on a cooking competition show should practice this.
