Good Luck with your show! I did pretty good with mine considering who mine was for, and how drunk they were LOL. There were 21 of us there myself included and I only held attention for about 3 minutes. I went on with the show and the few that sat at paid attention were great. Have fun with it!

I have name tags with truck & flower stickers and we keep it light, fun, and if they get off task get them back on track at least to make food. These are my friends so we have lots of fun and laughter!!!
My shows always are at least $400 with a couple bookings.

I had the couples write their name on a label (for nametags) and then rate themselves in the kitchen on a scale of 1-10 (ten is Martha Stewart, one is "I'd rather sell my body to science than walk into a kitchen"). They'd write this number on the nametag.
When showtime came, I'd pick a 5 and under number and ask them to work with a 6+ to do a step of the recipe (NOT who they came with, though). It was a blast and everyone had a great time.
I think it was Jamaican Jerk Salad, so some of the guys got to grill, etc. It was fun.
