Of the Season 12 D-List contestants, Sylvia Jefferies is perhaps the contestant with the most notable titles to her name including a recurring run on country music drama Nashville in which she starred as Jolene Barnes, the mother of Hayden Panettiere’s leading lady Juliette Barnes. Jefferies also had a recurring role in HBO’s Eastbound & Down and, most recently, had a small role in the box office hit Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.
Then there is contestant Asaf Goren who, as it turns out, is quite the reality TV veteran. Before joining the Worst Cooks in America cast, Goren competed in Season 12 of Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance before appearing on MTV reality series Are You The One? and Are You The One Second Chance.
Finally, we have Steven Crowley. While Crowley may now make a living as a real estate broker, he first made a living as an actor with notable roles in films such as Never Back Down and Hollywood Road Trip and booked guest spots on several iconic television series including Victorious, Bones, CSI: NY, 90210 and Without a Trace.
