When host Mary Berg met Veronica on MASTERCHEF CANADA, she was a tough competitor. They’ve since become close friends, and Mary has realized she’s also a tough critic!

With a jealous ex-girlfriend (Jaime Pressley, MY NAME IS EARL) and a spiteful sister (Mia Kirshner, THE L WORD) who stop at nothing to make sure he doesn’t succeed, Jake is forced to use extreme measures to seduce and win the heart of his unsuspecting prom queen-to-be.
